Salute the Boy Scouts

Slim, trim figure of dusty hue,
The country snaps it's salute to
you!
Joy-boy. Toy-boy,
Hobble-de-hoy boy,
Whichever You are, you are tried
and true,
And your dourest opponent is
brought to book
BY the bright delight of your
Boy Scout look.
Keen, clean face of the embryo
Above the kerchief which shows
your clan,
Sprite-boy, knight boy,
Firm fright boy,
Conquer the world, as you will
and can!
We dip the flag to your world
long file
And the whimsical vim of your
Boy Scout smile.
Your alert-curt vigor compels
our wonder;
, You are nodded light, you are
molten thunder:
Scout-heart, stout-heart,
Loyal-througout heart,
Sunny atop and with great deeps
under,
We enter you high on the Honor
Scroll
BY the romping pomp of your
Boy Scout soul!

Did you miss us last week?
Even if you didn't, we are still
on the job. Twenty boys were pres
ent last Friday, and four of them
were disappointed because the new
caps had not come in. We gained
a member and lost a member last
week. Charles Brown was elected
and Henry Lutz was transferred to
Troop Sixteen. Some fellows were
so full of pep last week that it was
necessary to have a few wrestling
matches in order to take some of
the pep out of them. One chap
shed a few tears but nobody gets
mad" Next week we are going
to have our fall rally in connection
with that of Troop Sixteen. Cor
poral Hitz is going to talk to us.
There will be eats. Pay your money
to your Six leader soon.
Everybody out tonight at $50,
and find out what's doing.

night and wounded in three
places. His small daughter was
