Another 1961 Vespers

We had another Vespers shot from this year earlier, but as the campers are dressed differently this is at least a different night and perhaps a different high school age week.

Junior Girls 1961

Does anyone have an idea as to why these girls (including Deb and Paula) were climbing around on the benches? It does not take much to excite young girls but... I would expect the faculty to try to settle us down.

Fishing

This photo was taken from an album which had belonged to Gene and Leosha Schmidt (grandparents of Deb and Rob Fritz) of Belleville. The photo is of Pop Smith and Gene Schmidt showing off the the best catch of the day. In those days the camp did not hire a season long head cook but each dean was responsible for recruiting a cook for his week. Leosha filled this position once or twice a summer. When possible Gene would come along and fill in his spare time dipping his fishing pole into Bond Camp lake, searching for a prize catch. It seems he was lucky on this occasion.
Currently the camp lake rarely offers this sort of a catch as the lake has been overfished by the residents of nearby Royal Lake.
Do you have a good fishing tale from our lake? Did you catch a whopper? Was your stringer so heavy that it took two grown men to carry it? ..... Share with us!
