I was supposed to record the scores, the number of times the girls had hit the target and where they had hit it. Approximately 70 years later I clearly remember the humiliation of being unable to match the medal winners with the medals.

The medals had been given to me by the Camp Director in a box, each one packaged in a sleeve of transparent paper. They were well organized when I got them but somehow or other many had slipped from their sleeves, and I did not even know which medal was which, let alone which girl should receive them.

In the end I awarded many more archery medals than were earned.

It seemed like a good solution to me, but I was not encouraged to return the next season.
