After assembly everyone returns to rooms and lights are (supposedly) w jMttjK!>on._ This year, one night someone
told (fie teadcrVtBajTflR summer
-t a “pantie raid” and nobody went to sleep ’til the fnoming. (They did not).
Officers for the following year’s short course are elected and campaigns are really something. Posters, handbills, cars with placards and speeches. The installation ceremony is the first time you find out who won. The new. officers are installed in office and the old ones retire.
On Friday night the All Star ceremonial is held. Members sit in a huge circle by counties and the All Stars, dressed in which, march in and form —a standing circle,—Scouts go out, get new members and present them to the chief. It is very formal and impressive and is a great honor to be made an All Star. Records must be good and candidates are watched while at Short Course to see they are worthy of this honor. I’m sure anyone who ever waitched this ceremony would want to become an All Star. New AH Stars are initiated .and meet the old ATI Stars later.
Everyone else attends a huge party and what fun! Folk games, square dancing, social dancing and wonder^ ful refreshments. Then rush back to your room, do your last minute packing. On Saturday morning, leave for home after promising to come back next year to Short Course at VPI.

4-H Camp
4-H Camp this past year was held at Powell’s Fort Valley on August 1®, 1952. Rappahannock was the only county going, as Loudoun county was quarantined with polio. Everyone had a wonderful time. We divided into two different tribes and gave them Indian names. Each tribe had a totem pole on which they cut a notch for each point scored. We had swimming, dancing, softball, nature study, handicraft, and doz* ens of other things to do. We swam in a nice pool and had a swimming instructor and life guard. • ; We hope to have more members from Rappahannock this year. If you’re a 4-H’er why don’t you go this August? You’ll have loads of fun and you’ll be glad you went.
