GAMBELL NEWS
By CLARENCE IRRIGOO
Hello, readers of Gambell news!
It’s been quite a while since you
read our latest news. There has
not been much to tell, however.
The summer of 1953 is the best
one the Presbyterian Churches on
St. Lawrence Island have ever
had. Two big steps forward were
made, never before done in its
history on the Island.
This July a young people’s
group called the Westminster
Fellowship, with representatives
from Gambell and Savoonga chur
ches, met for the first time at
Camp Tophook, half way between
the two villages.
This is the first youth camp
ever to be held. More than 80
young people attended this first
conference, which was under the
leadership of the well-known Dr.
R. Rolland Armstrong of Juneau.
There was fun and worship for
a whole week. When the campers
returned home they told how
much fun they had. Most of those
who attended the camp could
hardly wait until the next youth
camp, which is 12 months away.
Even the adults are talking about
attending next year’s camp. There
was no mishap nor accident. Ex
perienced camp leaders from both
villages made a successful camp
ing.
Second big step is the joint con
ference of the elders of the two
village churches. Many good
plans and ideas were made.
Believe it or not, Leah Iworri
gan cranked the telephone, picked
up the receiver and listened. In
stead of a voice from the other
end of the line, she heard some
one saying they were coming into
port in 25 minutes. Sure enough,
Ferguson’s tug “Kotzebue” came
around the mountain. She must
have heard the loud signals. Rea
son she did not hear her friend on
the other end of the wire was due
to a shorted telephone line!
The sun was out Labor Day.
Men, women and children enjoyed
lunch outside of the school. There
was a dance and a show that
evening.
