Whoever has not ascended mountains, nor lived among the hills, knows little of the beauties of Ahiture or the wonderful health-giving properties of the o.vygen laden air in those regions. Editorial We have become acclimated once more to city life, to its deafening noises, to the pushing and jostling of its pedestrians and the whir and buzz of its motor cars. Only now do we really appreciate the two per- fect months we spent at Arcadie. Those months are now but a memory, a vision of a glorious past. Can any of us ever forget the days filled with song and music and the revels of the more courageous of us who dared to brave the stern reproaches of the directors and councilors? With a thrill we remember the sensation of jumping with undaunted courage of}' the springboard into the air and then down, down, into the cool, green depths of Lake Ellis. With joy and exultation we recollect the camper-councilor baseball game, in which we came forth the victors in the fray. And the hikes, when like a band of wandering gypsies we marched along, often with the desire to stop, but keeping steadily on with the grim determination so character- istic of all Arcadians. After the long day's Avalk we enjoyed the cool night breezes at Arcadie. All this is o\'er. Now we must content ourselves with these pleasant memories, and look forward to another summer at Arcadie even more wonderful. E U I T () R 1 A 1.

We met at the Grand Central And our mothers' hearts did grifve. There we were, a youthful bunch, Nigh to eighty-five in sootli ; That we weren't very glad At our parting is the truth. And when we were all seated. In our places on the train To raise our very sad e3'es Do vou think that we would deign ? Until some merry ladies, (Our councilors now we know) Rose to the sad occasion And put us on the go. We each received a paper With some camp songs printed on And so we raised our voices Like a choir in a psalm. Then by and by the spirit Of the camping life and pep Began to swell our bosoms And lielped keep us all in step. We soon were chatting merrily As new friends will seldom do. And looked forth to our camp life Under summer skies so blue. We rode for several hours, Two and a half, I think And when they yelled out "Wingdale' We began to stare and blink, For the time had passed so quickly Since that hour of parting sad. That we looked at one another Much less sorrowful than glad. We sped along in jitneys Down the pretty country lane And we quickly neared our goal Over rolling hill and plain. We smoothed our clothes; fixid our hair Which had been nice and neat. Soon all the charming bungalows Of Arcadie came to view And Ellis Uake lay shining A welcome warm and true. The trees around did whisper As up the hill we sped Welcome to ye. Campers For you're campers born and bred A welcome to dear Arcadie We wish each one of vou, And we listened as we passed tlitni bv And pledged ourselves as true. ";«nPEey /sll i S. A. ICE-BREAKER EVENING The Ice-breaker evening was the first formal gather- ing of the camp. Our Director spoke a few words of greeting, after which we had one grand introduction. It was dandy sport, especially trying to fit the right name onto the right girl. After a few camp sojigs, taps were sounded, and we were off to our bunks. Pat/e Three ' 'And this our lifr.

Wi Arcddic (rirls Have P(is,sc(l the Sxcimmiftf/ TesI rtuft' Four , SWIMMING A CANOE TRIP stay at WIMMING is the most popular sport at Camp Arcadie. It is under the direct supervision of Miss Barrett, and her assistants. Swim- ming at Camp Arcadie is especially safe, due to the fact that we have a very fine po,ol for beginners, where every child learns to swim in a scientific way. This year our record is 100%, as every girl has learned to swim during her camp. Our swimming oi'ganization is divided into four classes, known as Polly- Wog, Tad-Pole, Frog and Bull- Frog. These classes are distinguished in the water by differently colored caps. Polly- Wog, red ; Tad-Pole, green ; Frog, blue ; Bull-Frog, white. 1. POiLLYWOG 1 — Jump into the water. 2 — Swim 50 feet: — Australian Ci-awl. 3 — Breast stroke, length of pool in good form. 2. TAD-POLE 1 — 100 ft. swim on breast and side strokes in good f«nn. 2 — 'Swim length of pool on back. 3 — Float — 1 minute. i — ^Tre-ad water — 1 minute. F'ROG lake. 1 — Swim across the 2 — One dive. 3 — Tired swimmer's carry. 4 — Recovery from surface of the water. 5 — Swim — breast, side and single over- arm strokes in good form. 4. BULLrPROG 1 — Trudgeon or double over-ai-m stroke in good form. 2 — Three dives. 3 — Life-saving. 4 — One method of resuscitation. 5 — Written test of five questions. Ethel Denbosky, Janet Green- burgh, Esther Kaplan, Sophia Shapiro and Dorothy Leblang are the Bull-Frogs of Camp Arcadie. One Tuesday early in Au- gust, the first overnight trip of the season was announced. The chosen eight of us who were to go, accompanied by two of the councilors, could y.^ hardly wait to start our prep- arations. We packed our necessities in our ponchos, which we tied over our shoulders. We were soon ready to start and with a cry of good-bye to our less fortunate campmates we were off. Eight girls, two councilors and ten packages of food did not make a very light load far the canoes, so it took some time to reach our destination. The place of our destination was a little cove, surrcunded by trees and rather high, so as to make an ideal spot for camping out. We pulled our canoes on shore, and carried our bundles to the clearing where we were to sleep, was beautiful, overlooking blue Ellis Lake, and at the same time secluded. Farther down on the rocks there was another open space, where we proceeded to make a fire. All the girls set to work, some searching for dried wood and others for stones with which to make a fire-place. Soon a good fire was under way. Then we started to fix our beds. First we spread ponchos on the ground and put a sweater at the top o,f the poncho to serve as a pillow. Over this we spread our blankets. In a few moments the delicious odor of boiling tomato soup filled the air and we hurried down to the rocks to eat our supper. We ate our supper with appetites which only a camper knows. In the evening one of the councilors suggested making fudge and the sug- gestion was readily agreed to. After a most wonderful evening we went to bed, sleeping under the clear sky. At five o'clock the next morning the inviting waters of the lake beckoned to us and in a moment we were all swimming. Breakfast was served at 7 o'clock and after a delicious meal we spent the rest of the morn- ing paddling, swimming and turning canoes. Who says that girls at camp haven't one wonderful time? Page Five II () R S K n A C Jv K 1 D 1 X G A K T S A N 1) C R A F T S |ES, I've been to Quaker Hill again; don't you wish you had been ?" Do you ask who these lucky girls are who go so frequently to Quaker Hill? They are our young horse- women who astound all the neighboring country by their wcnderful riding. Indeed, we may well boast o,f this activity, for no camp could ever have better trained horses or a more efficient riding teacher than we have here at Arcadie. Many beautiful rides have we taken through pretty country roads and often when we were thirsty we would drive into a town and purchase a cooling drink. But the best part of riding is the over-night trip. Oh, girls who do not ride, do you realize what you miss? Galloping and trotting through country and towns and in the night sleeping under the clear sky. Then in the morning we cften go to a farmer's for fresh milk and the good farmer's wife gives us freshly baked bread and beautiful butter. Who'll ever forget the horse-show that our experi- enced girls gave? Surely no audience at Newport was ever more enthusiastic th?n ours. DANCING Under the instruction of our talented and ever help- ful Miss Schwartzman dancing this season has been very delightful and has filled every girl with enthusi- asm. No, matter what one undertakes in order to make it a success they have to start at the very bottom. So it was with dancing. At fii'st all the girls were dis- couraged but Miss Schwartzman did her best and suc- ceeded in making the most difficult techninue interest- ing. The results far exceeded our expectations. We covered a large field in folk, classical, social and in- terpretative dancing. J\tt/f' six Although Arts and Crafts is not an athletic activity, it has been welcomed with great pleasure by the girls at Camp Arcadie. The girls have become skilled in the various branches of work such as bead work, basketry, clay beads, stenciling and painting. Arcadie will sure- ly set the new styles in sautoirs and hand-painted, hand- made clay beads. I am sure that every mother will be pleased to receive a new bread tray, or a basket for her dressing table; and father will be delighted to be presented with an artistically painted collar box. All these beautiful as well as useful articles are being made by the girls of Arcadie. Yea ! Miss Rosenthal. BASEBALL Baseball, the national game of the United States is being entered into by boys and girls, men and women throughout the country in a most enthusiastic manner. It long has been the favorite game of all boys, but now girls too have become interested in this great sport. Camp Arcadie has adopted this sport as one of its chief attractions. Not only do the girls enjoy this game, but the benefits derived are invaluable. It develops a sense of fair play, alertness, poise and does much to harden the muscles of the city-bred girl. H O C K E Y Although our hockey season \yas a short one, we succeeded in organizing two good, strong teams. The practice games were most profitable and enjoyable. The girls were rough and ready and unafraid of the bangs that naturally go with this game. JUNIOR STORY HOUR Every Junior's heart fills with glee when it is an- nounced that they are to have a story hour with Miss Clabault. She usually takes them into the woods and after they are comfortably seated under a nice, shady tree, introduces them to Fairyland. A rcadie Baseball is Full of Pep ""'■fS' ~ Arcadie Girls Enjoy Tennis Page Seven H 1 K p: s Hikes! Just the mention of the word delights the hearts of most campers. For hiking necessitates no exceptional skill. No special dexterity is needed. All that one really must possess is genuine joviality of spirit, a little perseverance, and good health. At Arcadie good health is assured, so why shouldn't hikes delight the heart? Scene 1 Assembly is called and a hike is announced. My, what a hubbub and general excitement. And then — a general scoot to the bungalows. Scene 2 Hurried preparation is going on. First comes the change to hiking shoes and the inevitable prayer, "May my feet return as soft and unblistered as they have started out." Then comes the arrangement of the coiffure. Ele- gant as it may sound, the operation is very simple. Anything that will keep one cool and comfortable is suitable. Now that we are all clothed and ready let us proceed to a more pleasing scene, the mess hall (no, we're not gluttons). Scene 3 We are arrived at the dining hall and ready to re- ceive our lunches. Vision^; of what that small, but oh, so well packed bag contains loom before us. What can it be this time? I hope it will taste half as well as the last hike lunchecn did. But this remark is un- necessary for Arcadians know that Arcadie lunches are always good. Scene 4 Let this be a continuous scene from the moment of departure to the home-coming. We descend the hill and are about to start. And then the cameras pop out from all sides and hikers who are anxious to start on their way must stop and look pretty. It hurts, I I'aqe Kii/hl will admit, but we realize that life is not wholly a path of roses and there are times when some must suffer to have their pictures taken. The torture is ended. What? Another interruption? General Nuisance has forgotten her drinking cup and everyone must be held up because she will be thirsty on the way. We are ready. Bravo, we're really moving. Oh, how happy we are! The girls in front .set the pace and then everybody else sets their own. Nevertheless, we move on steadily and sing and cheer with all our might and main. After walking for one hour and a half, we are all still happy, yet there is something that is wrong, yea, all wrong. What can it be? It is the call of the stomach for food. The impulse is strong to open the pack at the side but no — shall we yield to temptation — Gee, it smells good — what? open it! No, rather would we die of starvation and surrender than begin eating before the others ! Have you ever experienced the same feeling? We are about to drop for want of food when after long years of walking and waiting the whistle blows. With each bite our strength is renewed and we feel the better for it. Lastly we eat those de- licious and juicy oranges. They are the oasis on the desert of hikes. Lunch is over and we are resting " 'neath the shades of the sheltering palms." The breezes blow and refresh the girls resting after their tiring walk. After an hour of quiet, girls spring up just as if they had not done any walking. Now fol- lows the big treat. We are almost near a town where ice-cream can be procured. Did vou hear me? Ice- cream, I said. We sing in chorus "four sodas for me." But one soda seems to suffice. Then starts the home- ward trip. Soon each and everyone of us become ploughman, homeward plodding his weary way. Feet begin to ache and the desire for rest is stroner. But would one girl complain, on we go with heads high, hearts hopeful. A few voices rise in song and cheer. Oh, that lone last mile ! Suddenly the bunealows come into view. The pace is quickened and with loud cheering the hikers enter camp, forgetting their troubles of ten minutes before. We rush up the hill and again I state that hikes delight the heart, for thev give one the sat- isfaction of knowing that one's limbs really can do good service. R. R. SPORTSMANSHIP No girl is more admired or respected than one who is a good sport. A girl who does all in her power for her camp; who takes criticism, but modestly declines praise; who bears all burdens with a grin is a sport in the truest sense of the word. About the middle of July, after ten days of try-out, athletic activities started off in earnest. The girls were divided into teams under Ginger (Janet Green- burgh) and Pickles (Minna Shulman) and by the flip of a coin the teams were christened Tan and Brown. After a few short practice games the Tans and Browns were scheduled to play a basket-ball game on Saturday, July 24th, at which a few of the parents were present. When the game was at its height, rain made it necessary to postpone the game until the fol- lowing morning. Sunday morning, all fresh and full of vigor, we were lined up on the field at 10:35. In eight minutes the game was brought to a close with a score of 12-5 in favor of the Browns. Councilor-Camper Easket-hall Ganic July 5, 1920.

Before the first half was over, however, we were dizzy because of their lightning passes, their rapid-fire shoots, and their twentieth century limited tactics. To say the least, we were impressed, and we then and there resolved that imitation was the sincerest form of flattery. The score was — oh, that'll be about all.

The score, which had been thrillingly close all through the game, was 10-12 in fa- vor of the campers. BEEFSTEAK PARTY In Assembly one morning it was announced that we were to meet in the Assembly Hall at 5:30 that evening. Everyone was mystified and started to guess at the reason. The day dragged slowly on and when 5 :30 came we all felt relieved. We were then told that we were to have a beefsteak party ! In a few moments we all were gathered around our camp-fire. Joseph, the chef, was a busy looking man as he broil- ed the thick steak for us. My, but it was good! The girls ate and ate and never seemed to stop. With the steak potatoes were served, as well as olives, and need I say we enjoyed these too? Between bites we managed to have cheering and singing. After we had enjoyed all these goodies there was a surprise. WATERMELON was the next to be served, oodles and oodles of it. How much we ate, I'll leave to your imagination. Last of all, but not least, we had nuts, raisins and candy. After supper we all marched around the fire singing. It grew dark, so we sat down and cheered and sang until bed-time, and taps came all too soon. Hfuff Ten OUR BIRTHDAY CHILDREN July — August yunn-n"*. Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday, dear camperi, Happy birthday to you. Dr. Rosenbaum Miriam Jacobowitz Miss Mack Ethel Perlman Miss Pobges Mary Price Amy Schnee Leona Stiner Selma Appelbaum Gertrude Aronstein Miss Barrett Jeannette Burstein Miss Cahn Edith Fernbach You know, I really think some folks shifted the old birthday to July and August on purpose. Do you remember that regular epidemic we had between Au- gust 11 and August 13? Honestly, I don't blame them at all, and if mine weren't so awfully far off, and I weren't so near 90, I'd have moved mine, too! Isn't it the G. and G. feeling to hear that "Happy birthday to you, dear — happy birthday to you ?" And then every little table cheers its own little cheer for you and then — at supper — oh me and oh my! The way the Hon. Director beamingly paces the length of the dining room to your very own table bearing aloft the epitome of Robert's art ! And may I remark that the samples passed to every table tasted awfully like more? I'll instruct the universe ! And then of course there were several celebrations for all the camp with souvenirs 'n everything! I do hope even more folks will have birthdays in camp next year, don't you? C A I.

Page Eleven Dramatics Among the very many interesting activities at Arcadie, one that finds favor in the eyes of most of us is dramatics. Unlike athletics there is no team goal in view, but in its own way, dramatics affords pleasure to many of us. It brings out the emotions and stirs up the imagination, in that it obliges one to forget oneself in the words and feelings of another, whose character may be entirely different. Dramatics givco one poise and self-possession, for who can stand in front of an audience unless they have confidence in themselves? Then the feeling that one must not fail but must make the play a success, cannot do other- wise but strengthen a weak spirit. The following plays contributed a large measure of entertainment : MRS. OAKLEY'S TELEPHONE (./ Comcdii in Tico Acts) CAST. Mrs. Oaldcf Edith Fernbach Constance Etta Gibralter Mary Frances Levine i-^ima Edyth Loewenberg Edith Fernbach was a very amiable Mrs. Oakley and Etta Gibralter a most charming Constance. Edvth Lowenberg and Frances Levine caused the delightful humor throughout the play as the German and Irish maids respectively. ROSALIE (A Comedy in One Act) CAST. Monsieur Bol Lillian U'erba Madaiwe Bol Mabel Planco Rosalie Frances Levine This play held the interest of the audience from the beginning until the end. Lillian and Mabel did very well and indeed Frances was a very up-to-date, impu- dent, slovenly maid. THE TWIG OF THORX CAST. Mauri/a Edyth Loewenberg \ r.v.vrt Sylvia Aronstein Ominli Miriam Mateles Arncjus Etta Gibralter Priest Edna Klein A Heel, the Poet Frances Levene Xeii/lihors Florence Liebehman Belle Gibralter Lillian Werba Ruth Forges Leona Stiner Isabel Weiss "The Twig of Thorn," what more appropriate play could have been chosen for our final play? The pla> dealt with plain, country folks which were very satis- fyingly portrayed by the very excellent cast. Miriam Mateles, not only played the part of Oonah, but actually was Oonah, the grand-daughter of Nessa Teig, a young innocent country girl. The camp certainly regrets that our young Ethel Barrymore was not with us earlier in the season. Etta Gibralter and Frances Levene were two di.stinct types of lovers. One as a passionate peasant boy and the other as a romantic poet. The parts of the two eld people were done admirably by Edyth Loewenberg and Sylvia Aronstein. Edna Klein was a very dignified priest and Rosalie Fishel certainly brought the atmosphere of fairyland into the play. Now no one questions why Miss Katz and her young performers arose each morn at 6:t30. A PHOTOGRAPHER'S TROTTBI.ES {A Farce in One Act) CAST. I'hofoqrapher Edna Klein Mrs. Harlow. i Florence Lieberman Mildred Harlow Isabel Weiss Grrre Harloii' Miriam Jacobowitz Mr-. Sarc/ent Anna Lei ken Mrx. Jotham Sylvia Aronstein Mi.TS Slight Ruth Rosenblatt Mm. Nercrich Esther Kaplan Mr. Wrong Hilda Siegenfeld Mrs. Changed Edyth LoEVVENBERfi Rube Lillian Landsberg Sal Eleanor P^abian "A Photographer's Troubles" was the first play giv- en at camp this summer. The action of the play takes place in a photographer's studio. Various types of people come to have their charming or otherwise vis- ages photographed. The troubles of the photographer in his attempt to please his patrons foaTn an amusing theme. Isabel and Miriam were very realistic in their por- trayal of two naughty children and Edna, our photog- rapher, did her best to make them behave. We hope that Sylvia will not assume in reality the rather cor- pulent form of Mrs. Jotham, though is there much lack- ing? The entire cast did justice to the coaching of Miss Katz and the playlet was very much enjoyed. BUNGALOW ENTERTAIXIMENTS JUNIOR DRAINIATICS OUR wee ones also did their share in entertaining. They gave two very creditable performances of "Snow-white" and "Mother Goose's Goslings." "Snow-white" was done in pantomime, while Miss Clabault told the story in her interesting fashion. "Mather Goose's Goslings" brought to life our friends of story-book land and our Juniors made us feel that the real characters were speaking to us. A very delightful program was enacted by Bunga- low One, on the first Wednesday evening set aside for "bunk" entertainments. Among the many clever fea- tures was one which is always a favorite, the doll shop. Six dainty dollies were on sale in the shop of Miss Mack, who after demonstrating each doll's particular trait, succeeded in selling Pierrot and Pierette to Mis- tress Mary. The camp eagerly awaited Bungalow Three's offer- ing. Two or three days before the chosen night each councilor received an invitation requesting the pres- ence of both councilor and her girls at an advertise- ment party. Our curiosity once aroused was hard to be appeased. Finally the night arrived and what in- genuity was displayed ! It seemed as though a maga- zine had come to life. Prizes were won by Anna Leiken and Florence Lieberman foj- having the most unique costumes. After a short entertainment there was a lucky number dance. Then to crown the evening as a huge success there were ice-cream cones. Keith's first-class vaudeville shows were surpassed every Wednesday night at Arcadie, when each bunga- low had an individual opportunity of showing how much dramatic talent their bungalow had and how many stunts they knew. It is needless to say that these Wednesday night entertainments were looked forward to with much pleasure. The Director takes this opportunity of personalli) thanking Miss Beatrice Katz and all the Councilors and Campers who so cheerfully and generousl 1/ contributed to this magazine.

Some news from daughter dear. Who, though far away from home E'er in her thoughts is near. The joys she has been having, The pleasure, cheer and glee; But that's no more than natural When she's at Arcadia. With games and trips and bunk-mates, — Who has time for sorrow .'' Just cheer, and more cheer. And hapjjy thoughts of morrow. And when she is at home again, V:iT from the green hills fair, Such happy mem'ries will appear. Of dear friends she made there. Oh, here's a cheer for Arcadie, Home of the happy too. And tiiough we may be far away We'll e er be true to you. — Miriam Mateles, Bungalow One. MARBLE QUARRY HIKE Napoleon's maxim that an army fights on its stomach was never better exemplified than on our hike to the Marble Quarry. Wearily we trudged along under the sizzling sun, our spirits kept high by the thought of the food at our sides. At noon, we stopped for luncheon in a shady field. We rested there for two hours before starting back, after a jolly and instructive day.

This princess was very vain of her beauty. She would sit for hours, while her maidens combed her beautiful hair. She lived in a large valley. There the birds sang all day and flowers bloomed all the year round. In the garden fountains played and peacocks strutted proudly about. In the neighboring country lived a goo'd and wise king called Flitter. He was tall and handsome. His favorite sport was hunting. Sometimes he would go off by himself foj* days at a time. He loved every- thing that was pretty and never would tire of sitting for hours watching beautiful flowers or birds. One day while he was out hunting he saw a beautiful white deer. How pretty it would look in his own park he thought. He chased the deer all day but when night came on, it vanished completely. ..The darkness enveloped him and he did not know where to go, so he lay down and went to sleep. In the morning he started off in search of food. Nothing but flowers grew around. He walked and walked until he came to the beautiful valley where Ellis lived. Hunger made him bold and he walked up to the gate and knocked on it. Now Ellis had seen him coming and immediately fell in love with him. She called all her handmaidens and told them to dress her so that she looked her best. They dressed her in her prettiest dress and put a beau- f ul wreath of flowers in her hair. When she heard Flitter knocking, she walked down to the gate and opened it herself. As soon as Flitter saw this radiant creature he likewise fell in love. Ellis at once bade her servants prepare a large banquet for Flitter. Two weeks the feasting continued. Every day Ellis would think of new things with which to amuse Flitter. During this time Flitter began to see how vain Ellis was. Gradually he tired of her and transferred his aflFections to Prettiness, a handmaiden of Ellis. Ellis was very jealous and tried every art she knew to make him love her again, but alas, she could not. One day as she was sitting in her boudoir she thought of a certain witch who was known to have great power. Without delay she set off to see her. After traveling three days and three nights she came to a valley that was dark and dreary. No flowers bloomed here; no birds sang, everything was barren. In the midst of this rose a gloomy castle. Ellis was frightened for she had never seen a place like this before. Summoning up her courage she went up to the gates. They opened instantly and she walked in. The room that she entered had no furniture in it excepting one very old chair. A huddled figure sat on this chair. She rose when Ellis entered and demanded her busi- ness. Ellis told her what she came for and implored the witch to help her. The witch told her that she would do so. The old hag handed her a small flask saying, "The contents of this bottle will make him love you ; but beware, if you open the flask before ten days have elapsed something terrible will happen." Ellis thanked her and immediately started back to the castle. On the fourth day of her homeward journey she came within sight of the valley. An air of happiness seemed to be there.' The birds sang gaily, and the flowers nodded. When Ellis arrived at her castle she saw her maidens dancing and frolicking. Curious to know what was the cause of all this rejoicing, she asked the nearest maiden why everyone was in this joyous mood. "Why, didn't you hear, the good King Flitter is to marry Prettiness to-day," answered the maiden. Ellis instantly thought of the flask. It wmrldn't be any good in ten days for then Flitter would be married. She'd have to use it now ! Ellis opened the flask and immediately a torrent of water came rushing out. Ellis was frightened and tried to cork the flask, but could not. The water kept on rushing and rushing out until the whole valley was under the surface of a beautiful lake. This lake was named Ellis because it was just as beautiful as the princess. There is a Lake Ellis to-day and perhaps under the surface of the water the princess still lives, dancing and playing with her handmaidens and stili longing for the lost love of Flitter.

Second place honors went to Edyth Lowen- berg. The Poughkeepsie Trip NE of the most impor- tant events at Ar- cadie this summer was a trip to Pough- keepsie. Accompan- ied by the Directors we all set forth one bright Thursday morning, in trucks and autos, on a trip of nearly 40 miles each way. The main object in view was a visit to Vassar College, but many a girl's mind was full of thoughts o,f a tempting sundae rather than the grand old College from which so many young women have started on their life's journey. With a clash and a bang we started. Rollicking songs swelled the breeze as we sped on our way. At noon we were still riding, and there was not one of us but felt good and hungry. So we opened the bags which had been given us. In an astonishingly short time every lunch had disappeared. Soon after luncheon we arrived in Poughkeepsie. The first place we saw was Vassar College, its handsome buildings standing resplendent in the sun. Accompanied by a guide we first visited the chapel, a beautiful place. After several minutes spent there we went to the library. After a most instructive and enjoyable hour we were once more on cur way. Soon, the far-famed Smith Brothers' came into view, its delicately laden windows smiling a hearty welcome. Then the sodas and ice cream, pro,vided bv the direc- tors! Oh, everything was just great! After making several small purchases about the city we were ready to make our return journey. So ended one of the hap- piest days spent at Arcadie. Page Txventy-six Everyone in camp was excited. Girls ran from bunk \o bunk borrowing things. You could see groups of girls whispering together and if you would come up to them they would start guiltily. The reascji you ask — Arcadie was giving a baby party. After supper there was a general scramble for bunks. Assembly blew and we all went down to the hall. You should have seen that sight ! Great big girls wore dresses that actually were their little sisters', and almost everyone wore socks. The hall resounded with the babble of baby talk. Prizes were given to Lilliam Werba, who came as a mother with Pickles and Eleanor Fabian as the dar- ling infants in a baby carriage. This trio received first prize. A wheelbarrow was the substitute for a car- riage. Second prize was awarded to Janice Currick and Hazel Peller. They wore baby dresses and rode a kiddie car. What the camp wanted to know wa-s where Janice got the kiddie car. That still is an un- solved mystery. After the prizes were given out we went to the din- ing room. Icecream and cake was served there while the girls and councilors entertained with baby poems and songs. As soon as we were throue^h ^'casting we went to the Assembly hall again and had social dancing until bed-time. This narty was great fun and we all declared that it was the best. It wasn't so, for every party at Arcadie is better than the one before. Initiation hv Bunk 2 Camp was invaded by the "Spirits of Arcadie" on Monday night, July 8. They had come to determine whether or not we were worthy of enjoying all of Arcadie's privileges and fun. A few of us were called upon to perform amusing stunts. Since none of us balked, the "Spirits." who were the girls of Bunk 2, were perfectly satisfied so they discarded their sheets, and gave a short but clever entertainment as compen- sation for our efforts. A L A R INI CLOCKS •THE PRINCESS OF THE GOLDEN WEST" Little Jean was the daughter of very poor peasants. One day as she walked along the road she saw some- thing shining in the snow. She stooped to pick it up and to her surprise found a ten cent piece. Jean thought this coin very wonderful as she did not often see money in her home. Jean was a very good little girl and quickly took the money to her mother who was overjoyed with it for she had spent her last penny that morning. The next day Jean walked down the same street when this time she saw a quarter instead of a dime in the snow and each day she found fifteen cents more. One day as she was waking down the street Jean met a beautiful woman who said, "Little girl, I have drop- ped money every day to test you and I see that you are very deserving. Now I am going to take you and your mother to my palace to live as I am the princess of the Golden West." So Jean went and lived with the princess and became her adopted daughter. When she grew up she was made princess of all the land and she lived happily ever after. DOROTHY MARX AN Alarm Clock is an animated perversity invented by the capitalistic interests for the domination oi the iabonng classes. If there were no alarm clocks, we should all stay m bed forever and there would be neither labor nor capital. If you have a sane attitude toward these nickelplated chanticleers, you must be a bolshevik. Alarm clocks have no sentiment. An alarm clock wakes the bugler who wakes the army, thereby bringing about indirectly the habit among our soldiers of swearing upon arising. The alarm cIock's crimes are punctuality and the way it hides its turn-off handle when you stumble and grope for it in the morning. It is a simple trick to switch the little handle on or off in the daytime or at night, but in the morning when it rips you out of oblivion an alarm clock is as treach- erous as T. N. T. and as elusive as an eel. Alarm clocks have killed the poetry of existence. Imagine a pathetic state of society with alarm clocks in it. The alarm clock is a combination of William Hohenzollern and William Sunday. First it fills you with hate of all mankind and prompts you to go forth and commit "schreklichkeiten" ; the next minute it reminds you of your duties. It is a demon of frightfulness and the guardian angel, whose particular job is seeing that you dash down to setting-up drill before Miss Schwartz- man's whistle. It has the soul of Jesse James work- ing for John D. Rockefeller. It's all wrong — all wrong. The Trump of Gabriel, mark my words, will turn out to be a "Big Ben." LILLIAN LACKS WE had many visitors at camp, but none whom wa enjoyed more or through whom we profited more than Dr. Abner P. Way, Assistant Director of Physical Training, Board of Education, N. Y. C. Dr. and Mrs. Way and their little son, Bobby, dropped in on us for a two day stay in the middle of August. Dr. Way made many valuable suggestions con- cerning swimming, baseball and basket-ball both as to organization and method and taught the girls three delightful cage-ball formations which they played after he left. In every way he showed that he was an ex- perienced camper and the camp voted him a Good Sport.

Look into its clear depths, o,h, lady, and tell me what you behold mirrored therein." "It's all so misty and queer I can see nothing but the roof supported by trunks, and peo- ple are dancing in this room. Such queer looking people as they are, too. Dentists, barbers, vampire ladies and ballet dancers, jockies, muses, artists galore, poetesses with queer long hair and glasses, all are dancing in one wild medley. And the queerest part of it is, they all have very youthful faces for the clothes they wear. What does it mean ?" "Have patience, lady, and I will reveal all." "Wait a minute! There's a great uproar and some wild looking creatures are rushing into the room wav- ing their arms and shouting! They all have bobbed hair streaming wildly round their faces, and their clothes are wild. Red sashes, khaki blouses, some- thing decidedly Russian in their appearance. I wish the crystal CQuld tell me what they are saying. Oh — it does." "Little Bolsheviki, little Bolsheviki, little Bolshe- Mki." "In tlie land of slu'.irs and scissors, Conu- ctit it off, eonu- cut it off, conic bob your hair." "What do they mean?" "Patience, dear Lady, all will be revealed." "Now there's a stunning red haired girl in a dark ulue middy who seems to be reading the program, and uhouts of laughter from the barbers, etc. She looks something like our head councilor at Arcadie in 1920, but Miss V. hadn't red hair." "Oh, look at that! Three councilors behind the Times, and some ladies in ballet costume oj" something. No, it can't be ballet because there's a ringmaster who looks just stunning in his riding habit and black Pai/e Twenlii-iighl moustache, but there are no horses. Oh, how stupid of me ! A mock equestrienne act. It must be great because they are applauding madly. What — " "What do you see, Lady?" "They are dancing again to what looks like wonder- ful music. Oh, most of the girls have been eliminated and there are only two ballet dancers and a Bowery tough and his girl left on the floor. I'm surprised the tough and his girl are not put out for their behavior. Good, the ballet dancers have received the prize." "Oh, the picture's all changed now. You are on the floor in your white towel robes, and you are gazing into ycur crystal. What can you be saying? The audience racks with laughter. Tell me quickly !" "Patience, O Lady, many times have I attempted to e.xplain, but each time have you interrupted me with the tales of what you saw. My crystal has shown you a picture of Camp Arcadie's Twenty Years Hence Party. Each camper hath attempted to portray her- self as she thinks she wfll be twenty years hence, or, perchance, as she hopeth not to be. I will reveal yet more to you as my magic crystal reveals it to me alone, and as you saw me reveal it to that laughing audience. "Twenty years hence shall see at Camp Arcadie a councilor weighing but 100 pounds and her name is Syl- via Aronstein. I see at Camp Arcadie in 1940 two dancing councilors famed afar for their grace; two who in 1920 were known as Edythe Lowenberg and Nofma Bernstein. Yet another camper of 1920 see I as councilor. Deep-sea diving and ping pong are under the skilled guidance of Miss Frances Chaitin. "I thank thee, crystal, for once more so faithfully revealing the past and the future for the comfort of afl Believers and for the confusion of the Skeptical."

Miss Perkins, the customary prim, boarding-house old maid, thinks the entire proceeding scandalous. The mystery is solved when Shirley, the reader, explains that she has been practicing her re- cital. BARN DANCE N Friday evening, August 6, Camp Arcadie's Recreation Hall was transformed into the Tcwn Hall of Hicksville, Squeedunk, or any other such notable area. Here a grand ball and dance was attended by all the hicks of Arcadie. Such costumes would have put even the most progressive Wingdale farm- ers to shame. Obadiah, the village half-wit, came to the big affair with his best gal, Agathemena. Entertainment for the evening was submitted by the famous and well-known Oshkosh Quintette. Their operatic tendencies alarmed us greatly, but, neverthe- less, they furnished great amusement. Then fojlowed the Virginia Reel and the Paul Jones. Although it is very pleasant to become country folk for a while, nevertheless middies and bloomers for us every time. FRIDAY, THE THIRTEENTH HERE is a grave superstition that the thirteenth day of the month brings hardship with it, and when that fatal day falls on Friday what may not mortal man expect ? But nevertheless, Friday evening, August 13th, prov- ed tc, be one of our happiest evenings at camp. Bungalows five and seven entertained. They had the usual songs, dances and recitations and very clever tableaux vivants. A sketch entitled "Mrs. Oakley's Telephone" was next on the program. It came off very well. The telephone, as you can all imagine, was the main feature o,f the play. This important article was made of card-board. It decided to do a dance during the play, therefore causmg much excitement amongst the actresses. Imagine the surprise after the play when it was announced that we were to remain in the hall for a party in honor of Amy Schnee's birthday. We had the nicest spread ! Sandwiches, ice-cream cones, candy and punch. After we had eaten, sung and cheered, Mr. Schnee came forward with a mysterious black bag. He tcJd us to take a package from the bag and no one was to open her package until he gave the signal. When the packages were opened, squeals of delight rang all over the room. The prettiest souvenirs had been given to all. Cheer after cheer was given for Mr. and Mrs. Schnee, who had paid us a visit and had made this pleasant evening possible. Page Twenty-nine DANCING EXHIBITION T H P: V K TT L K L E C E U B Every activity at camp had during the last week an opportunity of showing what it had accomplished. Seniors, Intermediates and Juniors showed what pret- ty dances they had learned during the camp season. Encore after encore was asked for, but as there were many individual and class dances, none to our sorrow, could be repeated. Every girl showed excellent train- ing. DINNER DANCE ATURDAY, August 28th, saw Area- die's mess hall con- verted into the Astor Grill. The manager of the Aftr.r was kind enough to allow us to have Gon-e hflo for the eve- ning. He sent a small saucy bell-hop by name Rosenthal, who also acted as check boy (the reason he consented to act in this capacity was on acccvmt of the tips he was oure to re ceive). He seemed to be on very good terms with the corpulent colored door-man, Barrett. The councilors were attractive as French waitresses. The Shulman-Lowenberg orchestra arrived at six o'clock and shortly afterwards the patrons began to come. The gowns worn by the ladies were of the later.t atyle. Particularly beautiful was one worn by Miss Ruth Porges, who wore an abbreviated lavender gown and around her neck hung a string of real pearls. Miss Amy Schnee was gowned in a beautiful dre^s, with a long sweeping train. Everyone commented on the good food v^hich had been served and o,n the excellent brand of cigars which were given to the men and the sweetly scented cigar- ettes which the ladies enjoyed. Pai)e 2'hirty After we had found out "Where Finnigan's Cat" was and just where "My Money Goes," we decided to form a Ukulele Club. The first meeting was addressed by Miss Schwartzman, who told us the "do's and dont's" of the club. Junior and Senior Divisions were formed, the former being in charge cf Edyth Lowen- berg, the latter under the direction of Minna Shulman. The girls progressed so rapidly that on the evening of the Arcadian Dinner Dance, they were able to furnish an orchestra that was a credit both to themselves and to their instructors. Besides furnishing music for gala occasions at camp, the members of the club were in constant demand to accompany canoeists in the eve- ning, and provide entortainment for these idly drifting upon the lake. Thanks to our ukulelists we've had many an enjoyable evening. STTNDAV AT CAMP H. what a glorious day is Sunday at camp! Fifteen prec'ous minutes more of slumber, and no cruel bugle summoning sleepy head- ed maidenLi from their bunks to drill. No activities except swimming; in sooth, an ideal day to rest. The Sunday dinner — yum, yum, Joseph, the chef, and Robert, the baker, certainly dc, their share and we — well, we do the rest. Then there are the Sunday match games, basket- ball or baseball. Tan versus Brown or Faculty versu-^ Var,«itv. After supper there's a sing either down at the lake or in the Assembly Hall. Well, we need the rest, for the strenuous program that inevitably fol- lows ooi the morrow. e^ Safcin Firs-t!

Couldn't Jack Frost have waited a little longer before visiting us? Bundled up in sweaters the entire camp went down to the water- front that cold September morn to witness the achieve- ments of the Arcadian mermaids. Soon we forgot the cold weather in the excitement of watching the races and cheering. RESULTS JUNIORS 60-ft. Dash — 1 Ethel Perlman, Brown; 2 Hettie Schnee, Brown; 3 Rose Gluck, Tan.

Purfp Thirtji-one Some of Our Cozy liiingalows xcitJi Rustic P or dies THE LAST B A N Q U E T C A .AI P F I R E A X 1) The scene shifts to the big dining hall where we are gathered for the final banquet. A dinner fit for the gods was placed before us. Did we do justice to it? "We'll say we did." Horns, rattles and confetti were passed around and generously contributed to the fun and hilarity. At its greatest height announcement was made that we should repair to the final camp fire. So all left the dining hall and hurried down. Every girl's heart went pit-a-pat as she realized that this was the night when the camp was to be told which team had come out victorious. All through the summer each girl had worked for honors. Individual honors? Oh, no! But honors which would go to the credit of her team. This last night at camp, this last camp-fire night, we were to be told which team had succeeded in obtaining the most points. After we had sung several of our camp songs it was announced that a silver cup was to be given to the team that had the greatest number of Ptij/e Thirtii-tiru points. This silver cup was to be placed in the Assem- bly Hall and each year the victorious team would have its name placed on the cup along with the name of the captain of the team and the year. This year the cup would have engraved on it — (oh, what suspense!) the name of the TAN team — 1920 — Janet Greenburgh, Captain. Oh, what cheering fojlowed this announce- ment! After the cheering had subsided a little we were infonned that brown A's were to be given to those girls who had proven themselves the best all- around campers. MIRIAM MATELES RUTH ROSENBLATT SOPHIA SHAPIRO MINNA SHULMAN ROSALIE FISHEL ETTA GIBRALTER JANET GREENBURGH BELLA GOLDIE were the lucky girls who won the first A's to be given out by Camp Arcadie. Junior mention went to Hettie Schnee. An Arcadie banner was awarded to each girl of Bungalow 1 as that "Bunk" had the distinction of being the cleanest bungalow in camp. IMPRESSIONS T^ T.

Page Thirty-three A Corner of Our Spacious. Bright Airy Dining Room EATS Wonderful meals ! Wonderful meals ! Everyone of us said it, told it and wrote it over and over again. There was a good reason. Mrs. Rosenbaum personally supervised, purchased and inspected all the food ; also planned the menus, and her motto is "Give the girls the best in the land and plenty of it." SO SAY WE ALL CAMP HEALTH Our girls enjoyed wonderful health while at Camp Arcadie. Dr. Rosenbaum believes in the motto "An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure" for he was always around, as well as our good trained nurse, watching over us, giving us good advice and when necessary castor oil and pills. Our parents felt a great sense of security, knowing that the Doctor re- sided with us at Camp and was always ready for any emergency which might arise. Nat a single case of protracted illness or indisposition was recorded. Piiiie Thirt ii-ftHir No camp has such comfortable rustic bungalows, with running water and all conveniences; the big, quaint assembly and recreaticji hall ; then below the Post Office and store and the shampoo room and warm baths; and outside the pretty summer houses; and up above on the hillside, O, you great big dining room and kitchen — and then the lovely walk through the pines to the lake and swimming pool. Do you remem- ber the cute little trail over to the baseball, hockey, archery and the riding fields? And last, but not least, a feast for the eye — lake, brook, mountain, valley and forest scenery in an enchanting combination — an ever- changing panorama of beauty. The Editorial Staff wishes to take this opportunity to thn/ik Miss Edna Rosenthal for her co-operation in the Art Department of "Etchings." TO PARENTS The principal factors which make CAISIP ARCAUIK an ideal camp for your daughter are as follows: Its organization and supervision; its safeguards, physical and moral, especially regarding water sports, protection against overexertion and against unwholesome influences; its sanitary conditions, drinking water, food supplies and living quarters; its location, site, altitude and complete equipment; its accessibility, enabling parents to reach their child at any time they desire within two and a half ho irs from New York on a X. Y. Central train wii^hout changing; or by automobile in three and a half hours; the convenience of going to camp and returning home the same day; its unusual facilities for obtaining the best food supplies quickly. The General Director, a Physician and Surgeon of long experience, who resides at camp and whose ideals dominate the camp policy. The councilors, trained nurse, matrons, carefully selected, who work out the Director's plans. The program of activities, carefully arranged to suit the physical condition of the child. Parents should consider that a summer spent at Arcadie is not a luxury, but an education. Camp Arcadie is the result of twelve years of ex- perience in the construction, organization and man- agement of camps. It is not an experiment. LOUIS ROSENEAUM, M.D., General Director.
