BOY SCOUTS
A Year of Construction
Troop No. 7. Boy Scouts of
America. completed a moderately successful vear. From a material standpoint· the troop prospered. taking unto itself much ne·,· equipment including a new stand of colors. complete with appro - priate capitals for the poles: much ne\\'·furniture for t he scout cabin. and a new paint job in-;ide and out. The troop treasury end- ed in the black with a fair hal- ance to start the ne\\' year next fall.
From the standpoint of pro- motions the troop did not do so well. Sublett was the only boy to advance to First Class rank. Uo,·d and Gormlv the only Second (la'!;s scouts. Tlo\\'ever tl~e membe•·shiP of the troop included in gencr~l
a much higher ranking group of boys than in previous years.
During the year the troop par- ticipated in a city wide mohliza- tion in February, the annual Bm· Scout service in the chapei o;, February 11th, and t!te ~remorial Day, Seventh \V ar Loan Parad<' this \\'eek. Several short hike~ \\'ere taken. but the \\'Cather nn•n
and school activities conspired to cause postponement and eventual abandonment of an overnight h ike.
Good Turns
Early in the fall the troop was
a~ked to do a good turn to the school by giving up its commodi- ous cabin so that the negro ser- vants could occupy it. .\s a sub- stitute the troop \\'as given the

much smaller cabin back oi the infirmary. Through the efforts <,f the boys themselves. assisted by professional j)ainters, the cahin has been fitted out so well that it is now one of t he most ship-shape buildings on the campus.
As an additional good turn to 1he school. the troop erected in the main hall a new bulletin board to be used for the postin~ of notices about extra curricular activities.
Next fall it is planned to re.. organize Troop i-Jo. 7 into a Senior Scout Unit. a type of organiza- tion which it is believed will he more fiting for a school most oi whose bovs are fifteen vears old or over. ·The exact bet;t of the new organization has not yet been determined. The possihili- ties include A ir Scouts. Sea Scouts. Explorer Scouts. and
Service Scouts of various kinds. For the first time, Troop ~o. 7 had a full troop organization this
vear with \Veaver as Assistant Scoutmaster: Sears Harris as Junior Assistant Scoutmaster: 13arge. Senior Patrol Leackr: and three patrols, the Crow. the Flying Squirrel. and the Hawk. of which Gormly. Sublett. and Sen- eff are patrol leaders. W ither, and fTughes have handled the fi- nances of the troop, while Car- penter has served as scribe.
