HANDICRAFT HOUSE: New this year is the log cabin lodge pictured here. Camp Takona girls will use it as headquarters for handicraft work. It also will provide additional space for sleeping quarters. Each of the three two-week camping periods will accommodate a total of 55 girls - most of them will doubtless spend their non-swimming time in the comfort of sport and sweat shirts and the ever-present "blue jeans" shown here.

GENTLY DOWN THE STREAM: It's Clear Lake, of course, and not a stream at all, but some of the "merrily, merrily" moments for girls at the YWCA's Camp Takona are brought about by aqua-tours of the placid waters - particularly when someone else is doing the oaring. Legend has it that the name Takona was given to the area by a wandering band of Indians who decided to use the first, middle, and last words of their phrase "ta-wa-si-ko-ka-ta-nah" - meaning "Friends amidst the sloping hills."
