The last thing we said to boys last night was to “stay in bed until you hear reveille at 7:30”  At 7:29 you could have heard a bird chirping from across the lake — total cooperation.  One minute later, Scott Shupe played some music over the PA system and invited boys down to the waterfront to continue the process of waking up the remainder of the campers.  Bill Dalton, head lifeguard, gave the “all in”signal, whereupon off the docks leapt the following group of agitators and hooligans.

Unfortunately, former Polar Bear ace Jacob Eichmann, now 13, has lost his erstwhile ability to shatter ear drums with his piercing screams.  We’ll find a replacement soon enough, not to worry.
