Have your tent look just as neat as mine;
Good morning! When inspection comes,
Have your handles in a line;
Hide your tooth brush and paper, too,
Or they'll mark you down--
That's what they'll do.
Good morning! When inspection comes,
Have your pockets buttoned tight as--
Your tent flaps just as right as--
Your face and hands as white as--
Mine.
INSTRUCTORS
Good morning! G. S. T. S. girls,
With your brains all in a whirl;
Good morning! When the bugle sounds
Each to her chase and twirl!
To drill and dancing and fire galore,
Swimming and posture and semaphore--
Good morning at the G. S. Camp,
Where you work upon your lean-to
Longer than you mean to,
Where they keep you on the tramp, tramp, tramp.
OFFICERS
Good morning! Did you sleep last night,
When the officers had passed your tents?
Good morning! Don't you think they might
Show a little more common sense?
They say good-night when we're fast asleep,
As into our cots they coyly peep;
Good morning! Did you sleep last night,
When the officers had passed your--
The officers had passed your--
The officers had passed your--
tents?

(_Tune_: "How You Goin' to Keep Them Down on the Farm?")
How're you going to keep us happy at home,
After we've been at Camp?
How're you going to keep us inside the house,
After we've slept in the dew and the damp?
How will we remember, when we eat,
Not to wipe out plates?
Imagine having everything so neat.
Keeping _shoes_, _soap_, _brush_, _bags_, _pins_, _towels_,
Under blanket and sheet.
How're we going to live in a civilized town,
After we've been to Camp?

5. ACHIEVEMENTS
Whether you receive prizes or honors, points or merit badges for the
attainment of a definite achievement in your camp work, it is more
systematic to keep some sort of record of each individual's progress and
accomplishment.
A very simple way is a book record, but a far more interesting and
successful method is to make a chart placing it on a conspicuous wall
