Jr. High Canteen - 1959
Just right of the right-hand tree is Sandi Heston. I think this is that same '59 Jr. High week that is in the group picture below. That is me by the tree, and to my right is my friend Nancy Spratt (in patterned skirt). She did not come to camp after Jr. High. Karen Morrow is the blond girl.

Don't miss any pictures...
A few more from 1967 and Canteen Favorites
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!!!!!
Stealing the Bell Clapper - Frank's recollections - 1959 Pics
"In the late 50's (56-59) one of the favorite pranks of campers was to steal the bell clapper. It was very frustrating to deans to ring the morning bell and have nothing happen when he pulled the rope. These pictures were taken in 1959. The first two were in broad daylight. I think one of the two culprits in the top picture was my niece Claudia Price. (Pop Smith is looking on on the right picture.) The picture on the left was taken at night with infrared film. The flash was covered with a filter that stopped all visible light, but emitted infrared light. After they stole the clapper, I had them pose with the prize.Preparing for 1960, we decided we had enough of this prank and had the clapper welded so it could not be removed. One group of campers did wrap it with burlap that muffled the sound. (Dad didn't identify the women holding the clapper. I recognize Debbie Rush's older sister Raye Linda Rush in the scarf and Charlotte Schroeder next to her.)
"Realizing the potential for problems we also opted for caution is another way. When the dam was built, we put in a drain pipe with the thought if we ever wanted to drain the lake, we could just open this valve. I had dreams about waking up some morning and the lake would be gone. So, we also welded the valve so campers couldn't open it."

Various weeks, circa 1961
"Danny Bowling's a mighty nice fellow.
You can tell by the lift of his chin.
But each time he bends his poor elbow,
Oh boy, how the vittles roll in.
Roll in, roll in,
Oh boy, how the vittles roll in, roll in.
Roll in, roll in,
Oh boy, how the vittles roll in!"
Maybe we will get her to sing it for us and post it for all to hear!
