It was with great pleasure, very great pleasure, that the Students re- turned to camp after a lapse of five years. As was to be expected, a re- building program had to be introduc- ed. Three large substantial sleeping huts were constructed, each accommo- dating comfortably sixteen or eighteen occupants. The new huts are as large as the Chapel Hut. A group of fif- teen students worked hard and long during most of June building our quarters. The last roof was completed the afternoon of the arrival of the Student body. Lumber, cut during the winter by the Students, was hauled from the Seminary. A large cement ice-box, insulated with sawdust, was installed where the old pantry stood in the refectory. During the regular session, a large raft was made, a pier erected, kitchen drains fashioned, and the grounds cleaned. Two more huts are being planned for next year.
