Some of the boys had never an experience like this and they wanted to stay and go through the falls again. The first night Mr* Ben Wax had a •’Session” with the campers in the Recrea tion Hall located in the middle of the top of the mountain, and he introduced them to all of the staff members and gave them a little history of the camp, and the rules and regulations by which the campers must abide. As a night cap a “Torch Parade” was held all the way down the mountain to the canoe lake where ”Mr* Troubles” was buried in a six foot hole. It was a very impressive ceremony at night. There was a group singing in the din ing hall last week, and as a result of this activity, Kelly Crais, counselor for cabin 9, found out that Gary Messina did not know the words to his favorite song, “Dixie,” Kelly proceeded to teach his ”prize” camper the words and when Geiry auditioned for the campers and staff, his o\m rendition was, ”Look way don yonda* in the land of, ah-—ah (stuttering), cotton? Land where I was born,—in Dixie? Vftio rah, who rah, who ray,” These opening lines led to encore upon encore, and fin ally to the immortalization of Gary ”Clutch” Messina.
