6.  Empty the oil and clean lantern and return to the boat house.  Take bunks to the lodge and let us know the condition of each.

7.  See that all paper and old things in and around the tent are picked up and placed on the fire for that purpose.

8.  After Bible study we will take down all tents.  We should like you to delegate one fellow to each upright pole, one to each of the four corner guy ropes, and then follow instructions as the bugle blows.

9.  Take all rope on the trees to headquarters.

10.  Kindly answer the following questions regarding your tent: 
    a.  Are all the poles properly marked with tent number?
    b.  Does tent leak?  If so, where?
    c.  Is the ridge pole in good condition?
    d.  Does front and rear of tent close securely?
    e.  Does it need new fasteners for tying up?

Anything else you have noticed during the time you have been in the tent; please make a memorandum of same on back of this sheet.

11.  Return camp keys, if you have them, to headquarters before leaving.

We would be pleased to have you write on the back of this sheet any suggestions you have for the improvement of camp for next season.  Thanking you personally for your help and trusting to have your cooperation and that of your boys until the close of camp, I remain, Sincerely yours,

Last Words

The day before camp breaks, each boy should pack his trunk or box neatly, leaving at the top the things needed to make the homeward journey, with room for his blankets.  If the packing is left until the last day, confusion will result and temper be sorely tried.

Permanent buildings should be securely safeguarded against the severity of the winter and the breaking in of thieves.  All kitchen utensils should be thoroughly cleaned and dried.  If they are put away moist rust will eat holes.  Give the stove a good coat of old grease and cover with burlap or old canvas.  Hang the tents in bags where the squirrels and rats cannot get at them.  When camp is closed it should be in such condition that it would require but a few hours to reopen and make ready for the next outing.
