President Brown
Pays Camp Long
Expected Visit
• J
Our president has at last ar-
rived, and, of course, we were
all glad to see, in spite of the hot
weather and many distracting
calls, that he is looking more
cheerful than ever, and even has
gained a trifle in embonpoint.
Mr. Brown came last Sunday,
and soon, even the strangers
were his friends; in fact, he was
better acquainted among the stu-
dent body after his chapel ad-
dress on Monday morning than
many of the ones who have spent
the full three weeks here. Pres-
ident Brown is also at the head
of other Baptist institutions, as
well as chief of the rival Camp
Marlamont. His figure is famil-
iar to all the prominent charact-
ers in the Baptist faith irf Texas.
His wide travels anil ceaseless
efforts in behalf of the school in
which he is so absorbedly inter-
ested have given him distinction
and a cosmopolitan touch that
makes us feel safe in asserting
that we are .the fortunate pos-
sessors of one of the really re-
markable denominational educa-
tors of the State.
In his address to the student
body Monday morning Mr.
rown* touched upon the vital
necessity of character develop-
ment in the young people of ad-
olescent age who are largely al-
lowed their freedom at that time
when it is most dangerous to
them. He cited specific exam-
ples in his own observation, and
pointed out that young folks
should be willing to allow them-
selves to be curbed by wisg and
experienced heads at this period.
Mr. Brown will only be with
us a few more days, and he will
take away with him the regrets
of Camp Palomar, for we are all
inspired by his presence, and are
proud of our successful, aggres-
sive president.

New Auditorium In Use On Grounds
The new auditorium has finally
been completed, and is now being
used by the great congregation
which gather to hear the speak-
ers of the B. Y. P. U. encamp-
ment. This spacious building
has many interesting features,
and is far superior to the anti-
from which the music is reflect-
ed in full volume out over the au-
dience. The neatly sanded floor,
the high arched" openings, and
the constant play of the cool sea
breezes keep in mind the fact
that the auditorium is a taber-
nacle in charaeter; otherwise,

NEW AUDITORIUM ON B. Y. P. U. GROUNDS
quated structure which stood in
the same place last summer. It
is of stucco, rectangular in shape,
and considerably larger than the
former auditorium. The wood-
work inside is stained brown, as
well as the seats. The stage is
capacious, and over it is con-
structed a curved sounding board
the building is so fine that many
church buildings might well envy
it. Palomar students are won-
dering if they will not perhaps
fall heir to this auditorium for a
chapel after the encampment has
closed its best session, folded its
cots and silently stolen away in
the night.
Mrs. Elliott En-
tertains Y. W. A.
Mrs. Elliott entertained the Y.
W. A. Camp Palomar girls on
Friday night. While becoming
acquainted we enjoyed several
piano selections, rendered by
those talented in this art, after
which the Y. W. A. had a short
program. Games were then en-
joyed such as "forty-two" and
"Polly anna." After several
games were played we were serv-
ed with a delicious salad course
consisting of chicken salad, pota-
to chips,, sandwiches, ice, and
cake.
We bid our hostess good night
assuring her that we had a most
enjoyable evening.

Camp Palomar
Sure On the Map
Camp Palomarites do not in-
tend that their presence shall be
entirely overlooked in the vol-
umes of enthusiasm which surge
about the campus these days as
various schools and cities boost
their wares through their special
representations to the assembly.
Camp Palomar is the oldest
daughter school of San Marcos
Academy, and we intend to show
them that we are just as active
in the good cause as the best of
them.
Plans are being laid to prepare
an exhibit in the main building,
to give music ac special hours
during the day, and to let our-
selves be heard from in general
by the crowds of visitors. There

Annual B. Y. P.
U. Encampment
Begins July 4
The annual encampment of the
Baptist Young People's Union of
the State of Texas began on the
evening of July 4th. This gath-
ering of interested and active re-
ligious workers has filled our
campus with a bustling activity
and teeming, gay-colored crowds
of strange faces. Camp Palomar
students feel that they owe their
fine location in a measure to the
graciousness of the encampment
authorities, and their interest in
the encampment is more than
casual. The attendance this-
year seems indicative of thor-
ough interest in the work over
widely diversified sections of the
State.
The first service of the en-
campment was held on the even-
ing of July 5th, when the "Dean
of thfem all," Dr. G. W. Tructt,
of Dallas, made the keyhote ad-
dress for the whole convention.
Fortunately, Palomar students
are both permitted and encour-
aged to be present at the • ad-
dresses made by some of' the
South's most renowned religious
workers in thev evenings.
While the smoothness of our
ordinary routine is a bit unsettled
we are happy to be in the midst
of such wide-awake and friendly
young people as the encampment
set, and there are no complaints-
being heard. We have changed
our dwelling place, moved down-
stair for our meals in the restau-
rant, and given over our chapel,
but what we have gained is am-
ple restitution for our tiny de*
privations. Our best wishes to
the best B. Y. P. U. encamp-
ment of history!
is a baseball game between Camp
Palomar and the team of the en-
campment young men. Our or-
chestra delights the great con-
gregations nightly at the audito-
rium. Let's all pull together for
Palomar.
