The suits and regalla for the degree team were entirely new, and the manner in which they went through the evolutions on the fl DOT elicited enthusiastic applause. The team was drilled by Capt William Egan, who certainly deserves congratu- lation for the fine work of his team. The team consisted of captain, eight guards, four Indians, two wood wards, chief ranger, sub chief ranger and medicine man. Already there Is talk of having the team visit Bethel, New Milford and oth. or places by enthusiastic Foresters who witnessed the drill.
