Current Entry: Campfire
Two campfires have been held at Winter Camp, each on the last night. At Winter Camp II, the 12 members gathered in song around a fire built on the frozen surface of Beaver Lake. Six years later, a more conventional campfire was staged at the BC building, where two worn-out officers' briefcases were burned. They were eulogized with the immortal words "And to these briefcases, which have served so well, we say good-bye. Good-bye, briefcases..." This eulogy was a parody of statements Harold Oatley had made during a past flag-burning episode at camp.
