Original student excerpt
For a small sum one may stay at the camp for a week or two. We thought this arrangement would furnish some interest, so for one week we were almost cast from civilization back to the old days when the red people predominated. We learned their customs, their manner of worshiping, their prophecies, and various peculiar beliefs. We obtained many charms, beads, scrolls, and feathers.
Four consecutive sentences from the typeset theme; original spelling, punctuation, and period terminology preserved without endorsement.
