BOLIVAR HIGH SCHOOL BLIZZARD” 18 ming, diving, cooking, rowing, canoeing, hiking, and every other form of entertainment both protit-able and enjoyable. The whole camp was organized into groups which looked after the details of camp life such as cooking, dish washing, cleaning up the grounds, planning meals, etc., and, by changing around every day, each one had valuable experience in the things mentioned above. Perfect discipline prevailed, and, when the time came to go, all were sorry that there was not a week more. Troop 1 upheld the traditions of the organization when several of its members were responsible for the saving of two women from drowning, a thing which should make every Bolivar scout proud of his troup and anxious himself to add to its good name. The year following the camp has now nearly come to a close, and every scout looks forward with eager anticipation to another camp this summer. The interest has been kept alive and even increased by frequent hikes and over night camps. The number of second class scouts is steadily growing larger and this summer should be the opportunity for many to become first class scouts, which is the iirst goal of all scouts. From this enviable position, they can look forward to becoming Eagle scouts, life scouts, etc., and also to be wearing the coveted merit badges, the mark of scout achievement and attainment in various useful arts and sciences. Finally, in closing, the Boy Scouts of Bolivar wish to thank one and all for any help that they have given, or any interest they have shown and appeal to all for their co-operation in making con- ditions better in Bolivar especially for young people, and what could be a better plan, along this line, than to make it possible for their boys to become future scouts and the girls to become members of similar worthwhile organizations. The members of Troop I at the present time are as follows: Scribe, Lawrence Wightman; bugler, William Osgood. Otter Patrol—Patrol leader, William Osgood; assistant patrol leader, Lawrence Wightman; and members: Frank Henderson, Fred Maxson, Howard Shaner, Melvin Shaner, Nelson Shavalier, Howard VanCuren, LeRoy Seely.

The team of 1924, light and inexperienced, achieved the distinction (if such it may be called) of going through the season without scoring a point. Seven games were played. The Alfred Frosh game was the best of the season, the score being 26 to 0 in favor of Alfred Frosh. Alfred scored three touchdowns and two goals in the first quarter. Bolivar then settled down to work and held Alfred until the last quarter when Alfred received one touchdown. The Hornell and Glean games were the poorest games of the season. Bolivar was both outclassed and outweighed. Bolivar was outweighed in every game of the season but they were classed as one of the best fighting teams in the county. Boys’ Basketball The B. II. S. basketball team, season of 1924-25, fared as good, if not better than the teams of several preceding years. Although slow in getting started towards a winning streak, the boys ended up in a fairly good season. The first game of the season which was played with the Alfred Frosh on the latter’s court was not a high school game. Bolivar was outclassed from the start by the players of Alfred who were to be classed as a first class sub-college team. The contest closed with a victory for Alfred, 35 to 16. The second game was played with Friendship at Friendship and the local boys were again defeated by a score of 24 to 11. The game was very loose the first half, which enabled Friendship to gain a lead which Bolivar was not able to overcome. The third and poorest game of the season was played at Cuba. The cause of the defeat was due to lack of practice. The score ended 52 to 7, favor of Cuba. The fourth was a repetition of the first game. It was played with Glean H. S. at Glean and ended in their victory, 52 to 12.
