/*
"Have you never heard of Camp Fire,
What a shame! What a shame!
&If^ you've never heard of Camp Fire,
You're to blame! You're to blame!

Ready to prove it with s-snap!"

turn round and sit in the Chair--then
draw myself up again, as he did. I've
got on sneakers. I know I can! I've
done some breakneck climbing with father--yes!
and with my Camp Fire Group,
too."
