Admiration. Third grader Grant McKay was admiring Tom l'hclan's trophy he won for his winning car in Troop 533's Pinewood Derby, Scout's surprise. As a Christmas treat. Mrs. Sue Ellen Roberts gave Scouts. like third grader Nolan Buffalo. a collapsible toothbrush. Scouting arouriol What do Gerald Ford. Jimmy Stewart and Shawn Camp all have in common? Give up? They're all Eagle Scouts. Third graders like Grant McKay may very well follow in there footsteps. Scouting fiourished in the third grade with 47 students participating in troops. Scouting wasn't exclusive to boys. and third grade girls got in on the fun through participation in Brownies and Indian Prin- cesses. Cookouts. badges and field trips composed a year of fun and excitement for third graders. Cub Scouts attended bon fires and cookouts as the iris '4' ,. ve -ai PQ year began. Field trips to the Toltec Mounds and the zoo helped young scouts earn such things as wolf or Arkansas Heritage badges. Although camp outs and once a week meetings were great fun. most cubs agreed the Pine Wood Derby was the event ofthe year. Winnners like Dustin Smith and Tom Phelan created a car from a block of pine and won a trophy fortheir design. Brownies had a full year going to the Arkansas State Courthouse and to Showbiz Pizza Place. Troops enjoyed baking cookies and making ceramics. Troop 99 visited Hot Springs with its leaders Mrs. Terrye Brosh and Mrs. Carol Langston. What was so much fun about being a Brownie? Tiffany Shirey explained. Every month we get to do something special. Another new group similar to Brownies was lndian Princesses sponsored by the YMCA. Girls attended meetings and planned activities with their fathers. Scouting had been happen- ing for over l00 years and kids had been enjoying it for that long. Brad Parker summed up his feelings by saying, l like winning prizes. making cars and getting badges. Sc0ut's honor. Scout Jason Wilson flips through his Cub Scout manual to check requirements for badges.

But instead of learning them at school. they added these words to their vocabularies on the court. the field and the dance studio, which were the homes of many second grade boys and girls after school and on weekends. On the basketball court you could find Scott Tatom and Spike Hiller among others. Spike also enjoyed baseball and football. but basketball was his favorite. I'm the best at basketball. he said. lt's easier and you don't get hurt as much as football. On the field would be Adam Nelson, Stuart Ray and Scott Tatom. Adam and Stuart enjoyed football but were more partial to soccer. Adam said. l'm good. Our team got second place. I like soccer because you can shoot with your feet not your hands: your feet are a lot quicker than your hands. Stuart Ray, who played fullback for his team, said. l almost made two goals once. but somebody blocked them. Football was Scott Tatom's game. He wanted to grow up and play for either the Arkansas Razorbacks or the Alabama Crimson Tide. He thought football was the funnest because there is more action. While the boys kept in shape with sports. most of the second grade girls took dancing at Tommie's Dance Academy, which met after school. The girls would go one day a week, allowing one hour for each class they took-be it tap. ballet, gymnastics or jazz. Sarah Smart and Michelle Smith both took tap and ballet. Sarah enjoyed tap but was more at home in a tutu. She thought it was the best. l like the turns, she said. While Sarah was in her tutu. Michelle and others were tapping away in their tap shoes. Why did they enjoy tapping? The general answer was, l like to make noise. The more daring girls took gymnastics where they could learn to do flips. front and back handsprings. round offs and more. B.J. Tucker was among these girls who took gymnastics. You get to do handstands and stuff like that. I can do a back handspringf' she said proudly. And this is what these sports and dance programs were all about-giving the students that special feeling that went along with accomplishment.
