Slicked Up for Sunday

1930 expedition to Algeria_24.jpg

A tent on the expedition cleaned up and "slicked up" on Sunday.

The photos found in Robert Voight’s photo album of Algeria shine a playful light on the camp life of a serious research expedition. The members of the expedition found time to cut their hair, make new friends, climb up palm trees, and even play baseball--although it wasn't all fun and games during free time at Camp Logan, as the photograph of a member spraying his matress with pesticide shows us.
