BLUE M Dino -ji' Boy Scouts The Boy Scouts of Troop No. 2, were organized 1924. The most of us well remember when a stranger came to the schools of Higginsville, and stated his business as a Scout Executive, and said he was going to organize a troop or more here. Our first council was the St. Louis council. At this time Mr. Neff and Rev. Heusi served us as Scoutmasters. Later Mr. H. L. Lee took the work as scoutmaster. It was under him that we were registered under the Kansas City, Mo. Council. Then advancement began very rapidly. During this time our troop took part in many scout activi- ties. We went to Kansas City twice to see the Kansas City scouts' roundup. We went to Lexington to put on a stunt for a scoutmasters' conference. Later we went to Richmond for a field meet and returned with several pennants. In '26 and '27 some of our boys went to the scout camp, close to Noel, Missouri. When school commenced in September, 1927, the posi- tion of Scout Master was taken up by our Principal, Mr. W. P. Slayton, who has well performed his duties. The fol- lowing officers were chosen: Senior Patrol Leader, Court- ney Jenkinsg Four Patrol Leaders, Townsend Hader, Clar- ence Heusi, Clyde Oney and Edward Linebachg Assistant Patrol Leaders, Ernest Prueitt, Oliver Schindler, Byron Stoll, and Birch Hunt. Under our new and able Scout Master, Mr. Slayton, we have progressed greatly. All these points summed up shows that the Higgins- ville Boy Scouts have been a success. COURTNEY JENKINS. -QP!
