The day of the fourth was sunny
at first. Out at Bell Camp, where
several hundred students and
faculty members gathered to
\ celebrate the birthday of America,
I the sun stayed out long enough for
i the sack races and the eggI
throwing contest.
The rains came, and although
I there were many disappointed
faces crowding together on the
i porch and in the lodge to shelter
| themselves from the rain, spirits
j soon rose again. Everyone at Bell
Camp joined together to have a
good Fourth, regardless of the
weather.
Only the water events (tug-ofwar,
sandcastle-building, canoe
and tube races) were cancelled
because of the weather. Between
afternoon showers, participants
and spectators alike enjoyed the
nin ao *?#*# ?.. ? 4 ? ? ? * ~~ 1
pit-cuuii^, watermelon seeGI
spitting, and cracker-eating-andi
whistling contests.
Some people picnicked on the
lodge porch or in the lodge, while
others joined in the events or
played ping-pong, pool, or pinball
in the lodgehouse. Around 5 p.m.,
'Hickory Grove" entertained with
i folk, country, and blue-grass
J music. Bob Cantrell, the South
I Carolina State Champion clogger
L gave a solo performance that
B prompted many to 'try their feet'
at clogging, or at least squarew
dancing.
At 8 p.m., celebrators viewed
||| "The Mark of Zorro". The
1 festivities continued at 9:30 with a
t fireworks show over the lake, and
I then the day was over. It was a day
full of fun and frolic, and even the
rains could not douse the spirits of
R the Bell Camp crowd.
