The first Court of Honor at Sank
Centre to be participated in by
three Sank Centre Troops was held
at the Junior High Auditorium Sat-
urday evening. Scouts from local
troops Nos. 26, 81 and 60 received
awards.
The outstanding award of the eve
ming was the Eagle badge to Ora
ham Morgan. This is the honor
most coveted by all Scouts but most
of them never reach this rank, eth
er because they do not follow Scout
ing long enough, or they do not
work hard enough for it. Then
some boys are unable to pass all
the required tests. While there are
no accurate records available local
ly, it is said by the better inform
ed that Graham is the ninth Sank
Centre boy to attain the Eagle
Rank.
The Eagle emblem was pinned up
on him by his father. The presenta-
ton was impressive both to the
other boys and the audience.
Fifty boys in all took part, which
included Scoutmaster J. D. Buffers
Cub Pack (Cubs are boys of 9, 10
and IL who automatically become

as follows: Wolf Den-Robert But
Ter, Denner, Lyle Burt, Warren

son, Loren Potter, Carol Langton.

siderably to the impressiveness of
the ceremony. This was placed in
