Camp Fire Girls
Busy groups are the Bluebird
Camp Fire Girls, the junior
members of the organization.
Mrs. Carlisle B. Roberts, lead
er of the Singing Bluebirds, sec
ond graders at Bush school, has
worked out a program of music
by use of songs with gestures,
rhythmic games, folk dancing,
etc. Each member has made a
scrapbook to keep a record of
these songs, the books also con
taining stories of visits to in
teresting places arranged to co
incide1, with social studies at
school. At Christmas time this
fq-oup made yarn Santa dolls to
be tucked into bags they filled
and took to 14 children in the
tuberculosis ward at Fairview
home. At Valentine time the
roup baked heart - shaped
cookies for the same children.
A series of nature lore trips is
planned for the spring meetings
The Cheerful Blue Birds, also
second graders, go in for handi
crafts, Mrs. F. L. Epley and Mrs.
Fred Crisman as leaders. These
girls also have scrapbooks on
their activities. These mem
bers made Halloween masks,
heart-shaped bean bags for Val
entine day, and other favors.
A public display of dolls is
planned. Between craft periods
the group has done folk dancing,
baked cookies and taken sev
eral field trips. The girls also
are making embroidered tea
towels and hot dish holders for
their mothers.
Although Mrs. Allen Barber's
third grade girls, the Sunshine
Flowers, have been organized
only two months, their meetings
have been eventful. To satisfy
a desire of the girls to learn to
knit, they began spool knitting
and will then take up knitting
of squares for an afghan to be
given to an institution. Visits
to civic buildings with an op
portunity to be fingerprinted
are next on their program, with
an all-day Saturday nature trip
to Silver Creek falls climaxing
the year. Mrs. Carl W. Emmons
It sponsor of this group.
An example of planning is
the comprehensive program pre
sented by Mrs. J. B. Haworth to
the fourth grade Merry Merry
Bluebirds, "Penny hikes" have
added enchantment to the fre
quent nature study hikes in the
fall. Habits of trees in losing
their leaves were noted and com
pared, and the rise and fall of
the creek in Bush's pasture was
watched. Wintry days were
filled with handicraft. Using
materials at hand, cigar boxes
were covered and lined with
quilted material scraps for sup
ply boxes. Papier mache pup
pets, made and dressed by the
girls, provided incentive for a
show which they composed and
gave. Suitable magazines were
collected and taken to children
at the Fairview home. Being
eagerly awaited is the Grand
Council Fire in April, when
they will receive "Flying-Up"
to Camp. Fire promotion. In
dian names for the group and
each girl will then be chosen
and a memory book into which
will be put an account of activl
ties during the next four years
of Camp Fire will be made and
bound.
The Pi Beta Phi alumnae
sponsors this group.
