Bethlen Naptár, 1987 (Ligonier)
Maria Begazy: Summer Youth Camp
78 BETHLEN NAPTÁR and artists there were in the camp this year. It was late when we finally ended the program. However, it was not the end of the day, the older campers went for a midnight barbecue on the mountain, while the junior campers were enjoying a midnight swim and bonfire. All the campers were grateful for the wonderful evening and hope that this could become a tradition from now on. “Commitment and Contribution” was the last topic of the week, and we all sat quietly, perhaps realizing that this was the last day of camp and many of us wouldn’t see each other till next year. The daily activities seemed to fly by that day, and soon it was time to get ready for the Consecration Service. The choir which had been practicing hard all week, sang beautifully. We all lit candle lights, prayed and sung together. The evening was filled with emotions and probably we all will remember this evening for a long time. Saturday morning was busy with packing and saying good-by to all our friends. It was hard to leave the camp. In behalf of the young people we thank those who made the 1986 Summer Youth Camp possible. We also express our thanks to our directors, Rev. Alexander Kovács and Priscilla Hunyady, and all the counselors. Maria Begazy Columbus, OH Fiatal és vén napraforgók Hetykén a Napba néznek, fiatalok, duzzad bennük az élet, visszaragyog ifjúságuk az égre, fénylő sárga a kékre. Állnak, alig emelve csak fejüket, barnán, magokkal telve az öregek, adósai a Napnak, s fő-hajtva - úgy maradnak. F.L.
