Youth Camp Haircuts

[A.W. Bowman]

Well, I never went to youth camp either. Don't plan on going any time soon.

Actually, back in 1962 (in the pre Vietnam protest days), while on active duty with the US Army, I was ordered to grow a beard (my first one). Of course, the Navy continued to allow beards until what, the mid 70's (What say the Old Salts, I forget the year)?

I Once snuck out of the dorm at night made my way to the chapel and rang the bell in the bell tower of the chapel, when the adults showed up there to see who was doing it snagged a watermelon from the tables where they were bringing them in for an event the next day and took it back to the dorm room.

The showers were shared for several dorm at one camp I was at and you had to go outside to get them, I once went in collected all the clothes of those in the shower right before the evening service and tossed them in the next room down the line.

That same year I was up for camper of the year, know why I didn't get it? I beat one of the directors at a game of pool. Not even kidding. He got so angry almost to the point of being physical, way to go Mr Quizmaster for the state.

My parents and my best friends parents weren't too tight on hair length, so when youth camp time came around we were considering going, we were 13 year old. My friend found out that we would have to get haircuts and he said no way was he going to get his hair cut so high above his ears that the side of his head looked like the whitewall tires on a '55 Cadillac.... That ended our Youth Camp participation...
