Carried along with the idea of using their craft to explore thé "wilds" ôf Green Bay the band of workers spent aIl after school hours, Saturdays and many evenings on the job. In that tent workshop the parents of those nineteen boys could be practically certain to find their sons while the ship was under construction. George Euters Scene No Nsoonier was the work begun than older volunteers appeated, amnong them an oId sailer, by name George. What his last naine was no one thought to ask. Not alone was he a competent wvorker, George was a natural story teller a§ well. In an army tent on the beach hie had set up simple housekeep- ing, and there every evening when dar kness stopped thie xork, George, would face a group of cager boys, (and som-etinmes meni whose hearÎts were still young) listen;ing with close attention to tales drawn from his ex- periences sailing tht seven seas.

Resistance to the namne given theý island by the boys was overwhelmning at the start. Even summer people who had littie' or no direct interest in the naine resented any change f rom a namewhose origin was lost in the dim past. A columnist ini one of the dailies in~ Chicago (not .Winnetka's Howvard Vincent O'Brien) took the matter seriously enough to give his Whiole columii to ridiculing tht new naine. A Horation Alger namie! Psuèdo ro:. manticists, etc., was his classification of those desiring it. Time passed.
