BOY SCOUTS-TROOP 53 Never having had lhe pleasure ol meeling Ivlr. Cassard, lhe new Scoulmasler lor Troop 53, I decided lo slroll over lo his house aller school and engage him in a conversalion. As I ambled across lhe school driveway, I heard a vicious whirring noise. Suddenly il be- came louder, and a lhree-lool winged monsler hovered over me and suddenly dived al my head. I ducked, and il splinlered al my leel. Il was a model airplane! As I slooped lo pick il up, a voice shouled, Hey, lherel Where is il?

Nor a club organized primarily for social purposes, lilce - he paused delicalely and I leaped info lhe gap. I undersland perleclly, Mr. De-Jonge, and I agree wilh youf' I-le grinned happily.
