Hence, under the spirited leadership of Mr. E. L. Gremillion, scout master, Troop 9 was organized last year. At present the troop flourishes. lt is one of the most active in the whole Attakapas Council area, as witnessed by the many calls rnade upon it this year, by the city of Alexandria: parades, football ushering, flag- raising, street patrol duty, etc. Menard's Scouts, Troop 9 opened National Scout Week with a pro gram over the local station KALB

The crowning glory of a Menard graduate is to be admitted to the Mu Eta Sigma Honor Fraternity. A Menardian labors for this great distinction during his entire tour years in high school. Points are awarded for proficiency in schoolwork, participation in athletics, sodality work and all other extra-curricular activities. At the end of his senior year these points are tabulated. It the student is in the upper third of his class, he is given a gold pin, emblematic of his school spirit. MU ETA SIGMA
