2nd Junior Week, 1959 Group Picture

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."

Jr. Girls week 1963

Remember to click for a closer view. This is the picture I remember best-- must have been a memorable week. 1:3 Priscilla Leitze 1:7 Carolyn Stever 1:12 Jackie Greenlee 1:15 Carla Underwood 1:16 Janet Murphy 2:3 Carla Patton 2:5 Kathy Boudouris 2:7 Charlotte Richison 2:8 Janet Boyle (thanks for the info, Charlotte!)2:11 Janet Gum 2:20 Diane Jackson, the short lady to left of rows 3/4 Jeanette Leitze, the young woman in white over Mrs. Leitze's left shoulder looks like Becky Huck without glasses, 3:8 Debbie Vogan 3:10Marilyn Carter 3:16 Debbie Rush 3:17 Vicky Kleinik, 3:18 Helen Talbot. A couple of people at the left are between 3 and 4. 4:2 Art Leitze 4:5 Linda Hill 4:6 Susan Hentz 4:9 Cathy Opperman ? 4:10 Cindy Huffman 4:12 Debbie ? 4:16 Robin R? 5:1 Bob Fritz 5:2 Debbie May 5:6 Gwen Schmidt 5:11Jan Foutch 6:1 Janet Thornburg 6:14 Margaret Iberg 6:15 Paula Bush 7:1 Lois Fritz, 7:5 Sandi Heston 7:7 Deb Fritz 7:8 Janet Greenlee 7:9 Linda Gehrig 7:15 Grace Boldt. (The numbering on those back rows is messy so if you count differently just look for those you recognize.)

Sandi Heston at first said she didn't think she was in this pic, then later recalled, "7:5 is Me! I worked this week as faculty. I got a call from Frank Bush on Saturday morning, before camp started on Sunday(!!) asking if I could teach a class. The woman who was scheduled to teach it had been in a serious car accident. I said yes...and then quickly had to do laundry and get ready for camp. Had lots of ironing to do...all those cotton clothes... no permament press back then! I remember the class I taught was on "The Miracles of Jesus". And it seemed to me a miracle that I, at 16 & not a lot older than the girls I was teaching, somehow got treated like an adult by them!It was a fun week, the kids were great, and it was fun to be on the "other side" of things. I had a greater appreciation for our faculty when I went to H.S. and Life Recruit weeks later on that summer!!Becky Huck was the song leader that week and I think that is her (minus her glasses) in the white dress, third one in from the left on the 3rd row. I Remember Deb Fritz being kitchen help that week and Bob and Lois being there on faculty too.Great memories!"

Life Recruit week 1958 by team -- Group 2

This is the second group from that same year of Life Recruit Week. 1:2 Madelyn Franklin; 1:3 Kay Cowan from Wood River 2:4 Fred McKean, 3:5 Raye Linda Rush 3:3 is Lloyd Grafford from Wood River 3:6 is the top of J.W. Jordan's head maybe.

Trips to prisons

Frank Bush recalls, "I don't remember when the "Trip to prison" was taken. We took a Life Recruit week to visit Vandalia Prison– which is what I thought of when I saw Seth Wilson in this shot. What troubles me is that all the kids are from Greenville. We took the Greenville kids to Manard Prison. If this is that group, why is Seth with us? Mystery." I remember taking a later trip to Manard, Life Recruit week when I was 14. So that would have been 1966. This is of course much earlier.

Judy Kious, Fred McKean, Raye Linda Rush, Merlene Hagler, Ronnie Lamb, Charlotte Schroeder. All from Greenville

How about these bell-ringers?1956?

Can you identify anyone here? Sandi Heston Rinderer says, "The bell tower photo, I can identify the guy on the right. I think it is Tom McKean from Greenville." After checking with Mike, she added: "My brother Mike says the pix of the belltower is indeed Tom McKean, on the right. The dark haired girl on the left is Theda Butler. Her dad Clifton Butler was the minister at Greenville before your dad. The light haired guy is "probably" David Rush and the other girl is unknown." Clifton Butler was instrumental in organizaing that first week of camp -- his last summer at Greenville. As the next PK in the Greenville parsonage I didn't know Theda but got to know Raynelle(sp?) Butler when she came visit. -- Paula
