It was a merry party of boys who left the First-Auburn Trust Company Saturday noon en route to Lake Cobbosseecontee, Winthrop Center, to spend two weeks in wholesome exercise and incidentally to help construct buildings in connection with the State Y. M. C. A. Charles Ault became a sponsor for the 14 boys, and in cooperation with Assistant State Y. M. C. A. secretary, James C. Barnes, arranged some time ago for these boys to leave Auburn on Saturday. Three cars were driven Saturday, driven by Ira W. Fitz, W. Roy Huston and Judge Manser. The trip was made in a little over an hour and was mingled with many pleasures.
