In Fashion Show at First Reunion of Brooklyn Council Next Saturday

   A fashion show displaying what the well dressed camper will wear is a
feature of the first camp reunion of the Brooklyn Council of Camp Fire Girls,
which will take place Saturday afternoon, June 22 at 2:30 o’clock at the
Brooklyn Edison building on Willoughby street. Several young Camp Fire Girls
will model appropriate costumes for hiking, bathing and camping, loaned
through the courtesy of Abraham & Strauss, according to Miss Iris D. HIGGINS,
executive of the Brooklyn Council.

   Several hundred Camp Fire Girls from all sections of Brooklyn are expected
to attend the reunion, Miss HIGGINS said, to which the girls’ mothers have
been invited. In addition to the 300 pioneers who last summer spent their
vacations at the Brooklyn Council’s camp at Harriman State Park, Arden, N.Y.,
various new units of Camp Fire Girls formed this year and a group of Queens
Camp Fire Girls will be present at the reunion. The celebration will mark the
first birthday of the Brooklyn Council’s camp which had its initial season
last summer and this year already has a waiting list, although camp does not
open until June 29.

   Skits and playlets are being planned by the "old" campers to present
graphically to the new girls what life at the Camp Fire camp is like. One
group is rehearsing a little play entitled "A Day at Camp," which will
co-ordinate all the activities in which the girls participate.

   At the close of the entertainment, refreshments will be served and Miss
Florence FREER, of the home economics department of the Brooklyn Edison
Company, will explain to the girls’ mothers how camp food may be cooked at
home.

   The girls from the various Camp Fire groups who have charge of the
arrangements for the camp reunion include:
Grace LEAFE,
