We’re only here for one last mes.
We’re the Hilltoppers of ONE TRES!
By Hilltopper, Anne-Wayland P
During our last month as campers,
the hilltoppers have been kept busy
with many fun activities starting with
the Tribute and Traditions Vesper, then
tribal elections and an exciting camp
out at Marsha’s house. Comanche
Ragan R said, “This has been the best
term yet!” Later we all went on the
hilltopper trip to Stablewood Springs
Resort. Everyone enjoyed a relaxing
day drinking ice tea and lounging by
the pool.
Even with our busy schedules,
Aztec Brittany B reflects, “It doesn’t
feel like camp is ending. I’m not ready
to leave!”
We’re all going to miss this magical
camp full of fond memories and close
friends! Tejas Audrey A said, “Camp
has helped me grow into a kinder,
Hilltoppers 2013
nicer and happier person. I’m going
to miss camp more than words can
describe.”
It’s easy to tell all of us love camp
and aren’t ready to say goodbye. So,
this is just “see you later,” because all
34 hilltoppers are counting down the
days to 1st Field Day next year!
Thank you for a fantastic
summer!

Hilltopper Sunday
The pleasantly chilly
breeze caused the Guadalupe
to ripple gently under a
grey, overcast sky. A quiet,
peaceful energy occupied
Tejas Chapel, where all of
camp was gathered with
their hair done, in flowing
w h i t e d re s s e s a n d n e a t
white polos. The church
service opened with a
greeting by George Anne,
who commented that the
weather had dropped twenty
degrees from last week’s sweltering heat - a perfect example of God’s work
everywhere we look!
After the introduction, the service went as usual. The scripture was
read and an all-camp hymn sung. However, since this was the very last
church service of the term, several Hilltoppers, Aztecs Brittany B and Lily
A, Comanches Ragan R and Ally S and Tejas Audrey A and Caroline T,
presented the group with their personal Waldemar stories. Campers talked
about God’s presence in their
lives, and how they were able
to grow spiritually, emotionally,
and physically through their
many priceless summers here
at camp. Some Hilltoppers even
implored younger girls not to
take for granted their years at
camp in their speeches.
Their presentations were
highly touching, and the girls
managed to hold back their tears
while presenting. Thankfulness, and realization of how precious our short time
here at camp is, was almost tangible in the air.
The touching church ceremony was the perfect kick start to our last week
of first term. Every camper finished out their term with 100 percent effort.

Final Tribal Hill - First Term
Aztec Tribal Hill
This past Friday night, the Aztecs
gathered at the Rock Wall to climb their
tribal hill for the final time this term.
Leader Barbara L welcomed all family,
friends, and Aztecs onto upper hill, which
marked some girls’ last climb onto their
hill as campers.
Speakers Molly Z, Ariana N, Ella C,
and Lauren N spoke of the memories and
friendships created at Waldemar. Audrey
H then lit a fire in honor of the friends
and family of the Aztecs. Katharine L-T lit
her torch in honor of an everlasting Aztec
spirit, while Morgan Taylor T honored
the hilltoppers’ final climb up tribal hill.
Ian B then lit a fire in honor of the Aztec
sponsors. Finally, Gigi L lit her torch in
honor of the Ideal Waldemar Girl.
Next, Claire B, Kate H, and Ivy B
each spoke about Second Field Day as
they encouraged the Aztecs to try their
hardest in their events the following day.
The sponsors then announced all
the Aztecs who had perfect record cards,
as well as the volleyball, soccer, softball,
and war canoe teams. Lastly, the officers
turned in their bracelets and bibs as it
marked their final night as leaders in the
Aztec tribe.
Tucker G read the closing prayer
as the Aztecs gathered in a friendship
circle. The Aztecs then sang the toasts
to the Comanches and Tejas, as well as
the Aztec tribal song, and finally closed
the evening with Taps.

Comanche Tribal Hill
For the fourth and final time this
term, the Comanche tribe gathered
together at their sacred tribal hill. For
some of the girls, this would be their last
tribal hill.
When the bugle rang, the girls, along
with some of their parents, were greeted
by Head Cheerleader, Sydney T. Sydney
then passed out Sunshine Girl Awards
and Friendship Awards. In closing, toasts
in honor of the Aztec and Tejas tribes
were said.
While climbing to upper hill, the
Comanche sisters softly sang their sacred
song. Everyone was greeted by Leader
Carling C. Four torches were lit by Laura
A, Ally S, Bailey S, and Sydney T in honor
of the First Term Comanches of 2013,
memories, the Ideal Waldemar Girl, and
the Comanche Sponsors. Next, a poem
was read by Grace B, Mary Crow M, Carly
F, Annabel D, Joy A, and Claire B.
The three Comanche Sponsors,
Catherine D, Jane Anne B, and Drew L,
then called the officers up one by one.
The Comanche officers thanked the tribe
and turned in their bibs and bracelets.
Hill Awards were then presented to
Comanches who exemplified the high
ideals set by the tribe.
As the final tribal hill came to a close,
the Hilltoppers recited a poem. After the
Rock pile Ceremony, the Comanche Tribe
and parents recited Squish’s Prayer and
sang the Comanche Tribal song as well as
both verses of Taps.

Tejas Tribal Hill
For the final time this term, the
Tejas tribe joined together and climbed
our sacred tribal hill. This climb marked
the last visit to Tejas tribal hill for the
Hilltoppers of 2013.
Drew C opened lower hill with
a prayer followed by Activities Chair
Hailey B reading the activities for
Saturday. Friendship awards were
handed out and Maggie T closed lower
hill.
With candle light girls lighting the
way, the Tejas tribe climbed to upper
hill. The opening prayer was read
by Ashley M, followed by a welcome
from the Tejas leader Emma E. Next,
Elizabeth S, Scarlett S, and Sarah
B read a poem about giving and
receiving. Sabrae P was the speaker
on Tejas hill, followed by the lighting
of the fires. The fire of sportsmanship
was lit by True K, the fire of loyalty was
lit by Kate M, and the fire of friendship
was lit by Hailey B.
After awards were given, Molly B
closed upper hill with a prayer followed
by the traditional friendship circle and
the singing of Tejas Forever and Taps.

First Term Ideal Waldemar Girl
7
Every term, Waldemar presents a graduating camper with the highest
award in camp, the Ideal Waldemar Girl. This ideal girl is chosen by her
outstanding leadership qualities, positive attitude and great personality. She
always promotes the Waldemar ideals: thoughtfulness, health, friendship,
service, loyalty, sportsmanship, courage, leadership, beauty, and reverence.
Waldemar has been honoring girls with this award since 1933. This is
one of the many traditions here at Waldemar that has been carried out for
over 78 years. It was first started when the Comanche tribe proposed to
honor a girl who is highly admired and appreciated. She is voted on by the
counselor staff. It has now become traditional to announce this young lady
at the end of a ceremony given by the hilltoppers.

The drill began with the presentation of flags, followed by the
canoe drill itself and ended with gunwhalers crossing the pier.

Junior and Intermediate Drama Presents “101 Dalmations”
Directed by Adrienne D
The one hour
production was
so well cast that
you would have
thought they
had practiced all
summer! Their
acting, their simple
costumes, their
memorization
and movement,
their timing, and
their set changes
were perfection!
Cruella, especially,
took the show to another level! Played by Ivy B, Cruella was
mean and wicked and devilish which is totally opposite of
her kind and respectful nature. One of the campers said,
“she doesn’t have a mean bone in her body.” Roger and
Anita, Horace and Jasper, Meathead, Pongo, Lucky, Roly, the
Inspector, and all the 15 puppies were SPOT ON, never veering
from their character! We actually felt like there were over 100
pups after they
started howling in
the show.
We wish
them well on
their Dalmatian
Plantation!
A big thanks
goes out to
counselors who
assisted Adrienne
with this project,
especially Andie
and Maddie and
all the Junior counselors who helped with Dress rehearsal –
you saved the day!

Campers Have a Ball at Carnival
Several game stations, from the baseball throw to the
mysterious side show, lined the basketball court last Friday.
Brightly colored, festive streamers lined the wire fences, and
the delicious smell of burgers and curly fries was thick in the
air. Campers rushed to Carnival the second the bugle rang to
show off the costumes they’d been working on all term with
their kampong. Everyone was tense with excitement for the
dancing, games, and soda and candy, of course!
Once the Queenie Fourteenie, Claire B, was announced
and the carnival began, girls explored the carnival, going from
station to station, some returning to their favorites for a second
try at a tricky game. Many campers danced energetically,
cotton candy in hand, in the center of the courts to songs
like Macarena and the Mambo No. 5. Others stood in small
groups, chatting and giggling with their closest friends. There
was a long line to enter the mysterious side show tent at the
back of the court.
Toward the end of Carnival, raffle and costume winners
were announced. After, Hilltoppers (16 year old girls in their
last year of camp) danced and sang to their edited rendition
of Miley Cyrus’s “Best of Both Worlds”, changing “Best of Both
Worlds” to “Best Hilltoppers”.
It was a successful, fun-filled carnival for all!
