We had 4 poppy meeting last Tues
day. We were called to order by A.
, s. NJ. Hopkins about p. m. Scout
master Walters collected the maps
which VIC had TO draw for the meet
ing. Then We had n few minutes of
drill and a talk on discipline. Two
| old members Of Troop l were with us
and talked to us about their two
| weeks hike around Colorado Springs.
| These members were George and Phil
ip Self. They said that one thing
| the old Troop / lacked was discipline
and that S. NJ Walters was right
about having strict discipline in the
| troop.
Then We were invited to n party
| that was being given upstairs, so we
i went up in column of files. When we
| got up stairs we had to do right about
dress and then we were dismissed. We
| played games for while. Some of
them were pin the arrow on the
valentine" and bean race. Then we
i had n race to where valentines are
put on the floor and you step on
| them all tho way across the room.

of the blue laws. For refreshments
We had cocoa and cake. The party

our fellows have been practictng for
that contest and we expect to be near

nounccd.
Next meeting each scout must give
directions for different cuts and
bruises. \ prize will be given for the
best explanations. Also the prizes
for tho birds, animals and maps VIII
be givcn at tho next meeting.
But best of all I want to tell you
| who gave us the party in our church.
| About 1880 We heard n noise up
stairs and wondered who had broken
into the church, so Scoutmaster wal
! kins to scout around and find What
IL was all about. When he returned
he was all smiles and told us that
the ladies' of tho church were upstairs
party. After n few minutes OF anS-
ious waiting. thoy invited us upstairs
| and they gave us n real party as I
have already told you about. Dom,
YOU wish that tho ladies of your
church would give you other scouts
n party7 Hurrah for the ladies OF
