No copy of the 1934 Islander has survived. The 1935 Islander begins with a parody of the Gettyburg Address -- an appeal (all too familiar to counselors who had responsibility for the publication -- for contributions.

There always was a tension in the Islander around the question of whether it should be "literary" or should topicly chronicle the doings of the camp. The 1935 issue offers a little of both. The first piece, "It Was Just Too Ducky," is a put-down of the 1930s equivalants of Valley Girls and their lack of seasiness. The second piece, "A Heroic Rescue," describes the rescue of a group of girls caught by a squall out on the lake. It is juxtaposed to a block print of an elegant motorcar. The succeeding pages focus on camplife, with piece on "Camp Science" and "Bigger and Better Buoys" and two gorgeous blockprints -- one of which, depicting the shop, introduces this page. The issue concludes with a parody gossip column ("Nosy News") and "Who's Table Are You at?" -- a humorous account of meal ettiquette at AIC.
