We
had roll call about 6:30 every day. I’m at the rec hall
every day before roll call we are playing basketball or swinging
on the bars. When the siren rings I get so scared that I sometimes
scream, some people gets scared of me instead of the siren. We
run home as fast as I could then we wait about 5 minutes, when
the inspectors come to check that we are all home…. After the camp roll call finish the siren rings again…. I hate
roll call because it scares you too much.
