Brownie Troop 7S
Closes Busy Year

The girls of Brownie Troop No.
rs are looking back on a very
busy and happy year just finished
Each OF the many projects the
girls embarked upon was an ad-
venture that either meant happi-
ness for others, or fun for the
girls.
One of the first projects the girls
started and worked on through
out the year, was a scrapbook
filled with clippings of Brownie
activities.
Around Thanksgiving, the girls
decided on and made some very
pretty place settings for the
patients at Milford Memorial Hos
pital. This project, knowing that
it would add to the happiness of
i'll ones during the holiday season.
brought to the Brownies a feeling
of much satisfaction.
For their mothers, at Christmas,
each girl made a gift. They were
given list of gifts they could
work upon, and each made his
own choice. Half the troop made
some very decorative and sparkling
earrings which proud mothers have
been wearing around town. The
other half. turned out unique dolls
fashioned from dishtowels. Since
this project was faithfully kept a
secret from the mothers, the happy
surprise was enjoyed equally by
mothers and Brownies.
Early in May came the Mother
and Daughter Banquet, held at
the Calvary Methodist Church,
a fine, pleasant affair Each Brownie
and Girl Scout Troop present per-
formed some interesting skit, and
credit was given to the various
troop leaders and committee men,
bers who, this year, gave so gra-
ciously of their time and efforts.
The tables were beautifully decor
ated, the food good, and all spent
a most happy evening.
Another project which caused a
great deal of merriment among
the girls was the gathering to-
gether of material for their Recipe
Books. Without telling their
mothers what it was for, each
Brownie had 10 get,' write down
and bring in her mothers favorite
recipe. When all the recipes were
in, they were collected into book
let with all the recipes inside, and
presented to the mothers as gifts.
The Brownies, this year, will
remember several outings with
pleasure. Towards the end of April
the troop was taken to visit Mr..
and Mrs. Simpsons Bantam Zoo,
in Frederick. and had very pleas
ant afternoon admiring all the
animals, especially a tame monkey
for whom Mrs. Simpson had made
a complete wardrobe, including
even a full dress suit. Mr.. and Mrs.
Simpson very kindly presented
several of the girls with surprise
gifts. The girls wound up the after
noon with refreshments at Ruth
Anne Abramson's house, and a
tour through DR.. Abramson's Ami
NAL Hospital where they enjoyed
especially watching a baby pig be-
ing fed with bottle and nipple.
The last week in May the girls
walked to the home of Judy But
Ter Zone of their troop, on Clarke
Avenue, and had a lovely party
there Mrs. Martha Butler, Judy's
mother, served hot dogs, potato
chips, ice cream and drinks. The
Brownies finished off a very salts
factory day playing in the Buffers
back yard.
