Camp Ai-Yuk-Pa Snapshots: 1940

For Sarah's essay on Camp Ai-Yuk-Pa, click here.

Out of the six years Sarah attended camp, there seems to be only one where she took a camera and documented many of the people she shared these summers with: either 1940 or 1941. I'm basing this assumption on the placement of the photos in one of her scrapbooks, which are followed by ones from her two years in Pottsville.

Here they are, with Sarah's original captions, and occasional notations by me in brackets. Each caption was written in pencil on the black pages of the scrapbook and are very hard to read. The surnames I've added came from a camp pennant that was autographed by all the girls in camp.
