The Faculty and Student teacheis
are very busy planning and
participating in many, types of

New Home Makers of
State Go Camping
The New Home Makers of South
Carolina, a recently organized
group of Negro girls studying
~'home economics in the public
schools of the State, went . into
camp at, Camp Pewilburwhitcade
near Orangeburg, S. C., Monday
morning, August 1G, under the direction
of Mattie Pegues, itinerant
teacher-trainer .of home economics.
The fifty girls were taken to
camp by the following teachers:
Bernice Daniels, Allendale; Eva
Green, Eastover; Catherine Johnson,
Ellofee; Gladys Gordon, Greeleyville;
-Margaret Bonaparte, Society
Hill; Queen Graham, Camden
Lillian Arnold, Timmonsville; Elu
Sampson, Woodruff; Mary Fert-,
guson, F^ort Mill and Mrs. India
Shanklin, Burton.
There" was every indication of
the fact that the campers enjoyed
every minute of the time fvumtht'ir
registration on arrival to
the?hour bl their departure; notwithstanding,
they were all t h e
- -while under the personal supervision,
and guidance of the director
teachers, and adults who were with
them.
A well-planned program provided
daily for devotions, songs
out-door and in-door games, and
swimming. Regular duties were al
so required including the cleaning
of barracks, weeding around barrucks,
cleaning of grounds, the
, j.' preparation of meals, and washings
* - I of dishes. The outstanding features
came Tuesday afternoon
when through the courtesy of the
manager of the Carolina Theatre
the entire proun wac given compli
mentary tickets to the show, after
which the group went sightseeing.
The places visited were
State and Clftflin Colleges, the Edlots.
nn tu?
IHI.U viaiuvun .. Wii^i IUC i.' ISIIUI y.
This is the first opportunity
these girls have had to go to camp
The leaders in the field of vocational
home economics have added
this feature as a means of developing
in their pupils leadership,
initiative and cooperation. It alsi
gives as car.?he seen by the list
of places from which these, girls
come, an opportunity for the girls
of the various sections of the
State to become acquainted with'
one another. Then, too, the ele-j
ment of clean, wholesome fun is
i
a prominent factor. Already plans
are being made for a bigger group
and a better time next year.
