fAGE SIXTEEN THE ECHO March, TO OPEN IN JUNE (Continued Ir»in Page One) Three of the first activities to start the season moving are the girls’ choral school, a band school- camp for the members of the Ecu- std Band, and the second annual coaching school for boys. Dates of these events and other infor mation about them will be found in stories on Page 5. Besides the countless small jobs that have added greatly to the at tractiveness of the camp, the fol lowing could well be listed under the heading of major improve ments and additions: The athletic field is being re worked and resodded. Over 1,000 feet of drain lines have been in stalled which will make for faster drying after rains. The field will be graded and grass planted. There will also be new benches for spec tators. The tennis courts are being ex tended 12 feet each way, thus mak ing room for three double courts on one level and one double and a single court on the other level. New concrete; tables and seats for the picnic area are being made, replacing the temporary tables. A new shelter for the picnic area is also being built so rain won’t spoil those outings this summer. The men’s bath house will be renovated. The floor will be raised above the shower level so water will not stand in the dressing room. A new septic tank is I>eing in stalled. The swimming area of the lake is being lowered and will be clean ed out. The sand which was put in the lake last year has held up re markably well. In addition to the improvements listed above, the general all-round appearance of the camp has under gone a face-lifting. About 20 acres have been cleared of stumps, un dergrowth, snags, and dead limbs. Grass has been sown on the banks and in the immediate area around the lake. The camp is expected to open about the first of June. A definite announcement will be made in next month’s Echo. Champagne Cards Beat Control For Bowlings Honors In a thrilling finish that had both teams counting pins right down to the final box. Champagne Cardinals captured the 1947 Ecu- sta Bowling championship by gain ing a narrow victory over Control. The margin of victory was by two pins. The Cardinal victory was a well- earned one as the Control team stuck with them right down to the last pin. High scores for the four games were posted by Charles Colwell, 697; Chris Rogers, 675; Ray Rigdon, 658; and Joe Lavell, 646. The summary for the season is on this page.
