Troop Thirteen Gets
LaurelS For Boyd Memorial

Very unexpectedly did a Dodge
car come spinning up to the Boyd
Memorial building last Saturday aft
ernoon and stop with jerk and after
sparing the engine of hammer and
wrench, the chauffeur (mind you, q
real honest to goodness chauffeur)
walked into the stately building on
Sovth street and inquired for the
boys of Troop Thirteen (not know
ing We were waiting very anxiously
for him and had watched every
move of the man when he arrived.
Whereupon the scoutmaster being
there at that time gathered together
five boys of the troop that happened
10 be there, jumped into the car and
went up the state road. We will not
continue with their travelling in the
Dodge. we will, however, get out of
the car with them at the foot of the
Second mountain. Now most of us
know what laurel is. 1t Is a plant
that is green Ct can give you no
other description, and is noted for
its use especially at Christmas time.
Perhaps the guest of Christmas
Past could relate more about its
use, but continuing with my story
the boys set hard to work gathering
the greeny green plant, and in a
very snort une nad all the car could
carry Notwithstanding that the
whole side of the mountain was
stripped of its beautifier. The group
of scouts and chauffeur arrived at
the Boyd Memorial after an hour
and a half and disposed of the
laurel Any person coming into the
Boyd Memorial would think that
Christmas Eve had been there and
had gone but when this is printed,
we will be waiting for Christmas
Eve, 1919, and this is the end of the
troops good turn.
The troop has its headquarters at
the Boyd Hall and many times the
troop finds many good turns to per-
form, and as a result, the troop does
them with a smiling face because of
the opportunity that the gym. offers

tributed $4,000 this week to his

out the deeds for a farm for each he
boarded a train for his winter home in

Fifty years ago Mr.. Ash began 20
farm small tract of land near Har-
ristown. Starting at the age Of
twentythree as his own boss, he
worked hard and added to his land as
rapidly as he could earn the money,
until he accumulated $40 acres valued
at 5000 per acre. Now. at the age of
seventy three. he feels that he Is
ready to retire and decided to divide
his estate equally between his wife

Pack Two Gets Another
New Member Who Is Liked

Another new member - Dick

was unanimously elected and the
cubmaster declared him a member

as he was declared q member he
paid his dues. After the opening,
we had inspection. Every fellows
clothes, shoes hands, nails and
teeth were right, but there were too
many whose hair needed brushing.
Four fellows passed the tenderpad
test, Miller, McCauley, Charles and
George Boak. Speaking of Miller,
we are highly honored in that we
number among our most loyal mem
bers Miller who holds the record
for being the youngest student in
Tech. That's straight. His picture
was in THE Tatler."
Next. game lasting ten minutes
was in order, followed by study
period devoted to the history of the
United States flag and how to fly it,
We closed with the cub promise at
1870 and then spent about forty-five
minutes in the reading room. At
$40 we went with Troop Sixteen to
hear Private Bucher. He told us
mighty interesting things about the
army and ships and England. His
story of the chow line on the Maure-
tania on the way home-ship rock
ing, soldiers unable to keep on their
feet, and finally after a terrific
lurch a squirming heap of soldiers,
mess kits, and oatmeal and bread
all over the floor, was worth hear
ing. We hope he comes soon again.

Life is certainly made up of a
series of surprises. Here we are,
betting that Fenstemacher of "13"
or Cohen of Troop 2 would be the
first contributor to the Wigwam, but
another hustler upset the dope"
/ must say that Fenstemacher was
a close second but it was-well,

early in the morning that the buffalo
skin was still hanging over the Wig
wan door when SpotZ rushed in; al
most in time for breakfast. He has
real Scout story taken from life,
and it will appear in next week s
column. It's too bad we couldn't
squeeze it in this week, but on ac-
count of it's length we want to have
he corner allotted to it all by itself.
Here's Fenstemacher's greeting. 1t
needs no comment. Why is it that

Live Program Made For Ami
versary of Live Organiza-
ton; Local Scouts Aid

Christmas comes but once a year
and so does the birthday of the Boy
Scout movement in the U. S. A. AS
every scout knows. the real birth
day of the scouts is February s,
1910, when we were chartered in
the District of Columbia, and as
every scout knows, we celebrate that
day in real scout fashion.
The anniversary week program,
now in preparation, will suggest
three things in particular:
A series of activities by the scouts
which will show to each community
the scout scheme in its entirety.
with special emphasis upon our out
of-door program and the daily good
turn.
One day of fun and relaxation
from the strain of civic service.
A campaign for boys and men, to
enable the present membership to
become the nucleus for a far greater
body of scouts organized for service.
Here is the general plan already

appointed patrol leaders to select
the members of their patrols. The
Eagle patrol now contains almost
the same members as formerly. but
the Lion patrol membership is al
most completely changed.
