A. Pritchard, Janice Lange berg and Patricia Fagone. The five report the trip as "mem orable" and ' are already planning another one for next summer. Four Senior Scouts, Leader Make Long BackPackTrip A major feat this summer for four Medford Senior Girl Scouts was a six-day, 60-mile hike along the Skyline trail from Lake of the Woods to Annie Springs camp at Crater Lake park gate. The four girls, Angelika Bayley, Con nie Stalcup, Janice Lange berg and Patricia Fagone, with their leader, Mrs. L. A. Pritchard, made the back pack trip, carrying all their food and equipment. Each Scout's pack at the start of the trip weighed about 30 pounds, and Mrs. Pritchard started with a heav ier pack of almost 40 pounds. Camps were made at Long lake, Heavenly Twin Lakes, Grass lake, Maude mountain, Stuart falls and Annie Springs camp. Mrs. Pritchard reports that "it was an adventure none are likely to forget." The girls thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful scenery, the animals and birds and not even a heavy downpour of rain one afternoon failed to dampen their spirits. A shelter, hot fire and warm food soon made the hikers forget the bad weather. Mrs. Pritchard states that the group prepared for the long hike by taking a number of warm-up trips. Each girl planned her own food sup ply, with advice from the leader and experienced hikers and campers. The group car ried the required shovel and axe, and Mrs. Pritchard be lieves that tor the next trip they will add a small saw to their equipment. Some hikers and campers find the saws more useful than an axe for cutting fire wood. One camp was a "dry" camp, and for these two days the hikers had only the wa ter each carried. Plans are already being made for a similar excursion We have several openings for experienced SALESLADIES Both Part Time and Full Time Ready-to-Wear Lingerie Department Sportswear Apply in person between 2-4 p.m. Ask for Mr. Nelson Women's News next year, and the scouts and their leader believe they will hike down the Rogue river towards the coast. 4 Families Visit At Scott Home Ashland - Summer house- guests of Mr. and Mrs. Her- schel Scott, 417 Ray lane, have been their son and daughter and their families.

Vocalists are being sought to perform the six solo arias in the majestic choral work which Bach wrote for Christ mas, 1723, when he was can tor of St. Thomas' Church in Leipzig. These include one for soprano, one for contralto or soprano, one for bass, one for tenor, one for contralto, and a duet for contralto and tenor. The work will be per formed in Latin. The "Magnificat", usually called . "The Great Magnifi cat", is known as one of the most vital and thrilling of Bach's liturgical masterpieces. Performance of this work is a great challenge to even the finest classical vocalists", Conductor Singer comments. The soloists and chorus must be able to express all the love and joy inherent in the story of the birth of Christ which they are telling."

Beside the regular swim ming program, a water car nival was held the first two sessions, in which all camp ers participated. There were water relays with competition between the units, and many types of swimming demon strations. General camp program was run on a democratic basis. Each unit discussed and voted on what members wanted to do and the majority ruled. Many activities were covered, including outdoor cooking, hiking, swimming, horseback riding, nature craft, and dra matics. A special activity was an Indian Festival. Campers dressed in Indian costumes and Indian games were play ed with inter-unit competition At dinner, campers sat on the floor of the dining hall in Indian fashion and at the eve ning campfire, each unit put on an Indian skit and sang an Indian song.

Some of the older girls and the counselors in train ing unit took back pack hikes to Four Mile lake. Nature hikes up the pipe line trail proved to be inter esting due to the many types of fern and plants found in this area. The campers took delight in investigating plants and small animals they saw. Handicrafts and art work was limited to natural ma terials found on the camp site. Materials used In the troop program during the year were avoided as much as possible and each girl was enncouraged to see the pos sibilities in natural materials, and to be creative. Using only tempera paints, glue, chalk. charcoal and paper, tin youngsters made many inter esting things. Leaf prints were used on scrolls, wood land scenes were captured on paper with chalk and char coal. Bcasties were made from anything that caught the imagination bark, twigs, pinecones, moss and the like were glued together in forms of animals. Name tags were made from bark and other natural materials. The overall program was planned so that girls might work together and share the fun, out-of-doors in a care free atmosphere, to grow physically and spiritually. Girl Scout headquarters re ports.
