our last meeting was different from
any other We have had. After calling us
TO attention with his whistle. our scout
master turned out all the lights except
the ones behind his table. Then he an
nounced that he would turn out the
other lights and wanted us to sit per-

lated us on being so quiet. Then he
told us. two legends and the darkness

the events we wanted to enter at the
field day, Four of our members who
were absent at the proceeding meeting
were called upon by the senior patrol

sentenced. Mr.. Bathman, our assistant
scoutmaster was unwell and so not
present but he had sent word that he
would take us on a hike Sunday after
noon After finishing our games we ad-
journed, as usual, with the scout yell
and benediction.
