A few more from 1967 and Canteen Favorites

I think number 6 is Delmyra Carter.
Deb recalls, "Canteen time! Oh what fun! Over time I was introduced to lots of “different” tastes at those windows. During the brief time that the camp had a soda fountain I remember working in the canteen and making hundreds of Suicides . However, the first different treat I remember was Pepsi and peanuts. Take a bottle of pepsi, drink a little, add some salted peanuts (Watch the foam!) and drink! Probably my first introduction to “sweet & salty” snacks! I could be wrong but I have a vague memory of Pat Heston introducing me to this treat and grape soda! Anyone else have a favorite canteen treat?"
Paula's memory: "It was the older kids who were drinking the Pepsi/peanuts in my memories -- Mike Heston, Danny Williams -- more guys than gals. And they knew just where to put the bottles in the old cooler so that they were just on the verge of freezing, and would turn to ice when you opened them. They always had a couple "stashed". They would come in while I was selling at the window as kitchen help and pull out the special bottles they wanted to buy. And I think it was Coke, not Pepsi, wasn't it?"
Gwen Heavner ....Lynne Gurley & I remember mixing peanuts in Mountain Dew!! I also recall Fudgecicles were a NICKEL!!!!!












Max Whited with three junior girls. Honor camper Cindy Rasler with dean Keith Sproat and Tom Plog (I think!).

I noticed how intently the girl is looking at Max Whited. Perhaps she sees him as a father.
