Bob was in his third summer as [[Head Counselor]] in '89 and was almost always funny.  The camp was small with only around twenty campers and the prank was planned for when the [[Senior Camper]]s were off campus.  A couple of the Sunday staff meetings were used as time to plan and prepare as a group.  Bob spent about ten days quickly holding up a newspaper and announcing to the camp that there was going to be an eclipse.  Bob would go so far as to read parts of the "article" to the group, an article that apparently never existed.
