alive, you couldn't have had better
meeting than we had.
The meeting was opened by A. S. NJ
Bates Every Scout but one answered
roll call, and that one was Jewel
Lyons. Two Scouts were voted in.
Philip Tracy and Thomas Nesbit be-
ing these two. Tracy is not old
enough to be a registered Scout yet,
but he was taken in as our mascot
The scoutmaster appointed Scout
the Flying Eagles. Thomas Nesbit
wrote n poem in the honor of our
scoutmaster. 1t was dandy.
We gave out merits to the boys who
went on the cleanup campaign. We
also discussed a hike and talked about
going down to the courthouse to dig
dandelions.
After the business period We prac-
ticed some of our new yells and then
Jack Sellers told us some ghost stories.
The meeting was closed by repeating
the Scout oath and law.

y
And more hikes mean more good times
and more sore fect-especialiy TO the
tcnderfcct. But. woe-woe Is me-
Just as surely as we start 1t will be
sure to snow. especially after We get
To camp. But. shucks. we'd Just as
soon waliow in the snow as in the
rain and mud, anyway.
We were honorcd by visit from Mr..
Alverson and Mr.. Price Friday night
and We hope 10 see them more often
sN Ht.l..
welcomed by Troop ;. and rs one OF
the older Scouts said, IT'S a pity we
can't enroll them in Troop for rcgu-
lar bcrths and tcnderfcct."
Say. Scouts. how would you like To
play baseball with other troops in the
city this spring and coming summer
I hear that thcro arc several lively
troops who arc anxious to organize
ball teams and seek games with rival
troops. Why couldn't we all get to-
Scthcr and perhaps arrange a schcd-
ulc OF some Kind and then play for the
city championship?
Nh at last we are able to fathom
Puttcc's long absence from our troop
From recent occurrences, | have found
out that he has been filling tho posi-
tion Of \. :. NJ. for another troop.
Troop > to bc exact. Good thing for
you, George orwell. your hide would
not have been worth tanning after we
got thru with you If YOU had not had

OH Boyl We had some meeting Fri
day; short. but right to tho point
We had n regular trial. One OF the
Scouts was tried for alleged misconduct
Gilmore Freed. the prosecuting attor-
ney, gave some fine arguments, but tho
Jury and the Judge thought that "Er-
mic" Rushmcr. attorney for the de-
fonsc. gave some better ones. so tho
verdict was mot guilty.
Troop went on a hike Thursday. BY
this | mean that three Scouts and the
A. NJ. assistant MASCOT, Tom Bar
bcr. went out near Goodnight and
stayed all night. When tho rest OF the
Scouts heard OF the good time they
had. they wished they had been along.
"Bill' Cannon. Ar Warner. Tom
Barber. "Lcwie" Barnum. were the
lucky four. "Bill'' was the luckiest;
he got to sleep with Mr.. Price in his
sleeping bag. When the wind changed
II got pretty chilly. so all hut "Bilr'
and Mr.. Price went on a hike. This
was about one O'clock. When they
got back 'Lowie" Barnum went to
sleep. but Tom and "1Al' stayed up
ana Kept fire. on the way home We
came thru City Park and tried to iden-
tiy all the trees we saw, and in most
cases were successful.
