26 THE CARDINAL - 1952 The Cardinal Notes H OW School Newrpaper In the spring of 1931 the Hi-Y Club resolved when school began again in September to start and sponsor a school newspaper which would be per- manent. We made plans to ublish ourselves the first three or four issues in order to see how the student body would take to it, then it would be handed over to a regular staff. Setember rolled around and everyone in the club helped in gathering news for a mimeographed four-page paper which was issued three times, being given out in Chapel. It seemed to meet with favor. Meanwhile the possibilities of having a printed paper were being looked into. A printed paper would require advertisements which would be especially hard to obtain at a time like this. Since the financial part of a newspaper means its existence, we thought it best to mimeograph the paper thruout the year, hoping that next year a snappy little printed paper could be published. So we handed the paper over to a regular staff which we had appointed. From then on a larger paper, usually eight pages, was put out and three cents a copy charged for it. Almost a hun- dred subscriptions for the year at thirty cents each were acquired in the first drive. The name The Cardinal Notes was chosen for it. None of us who worked on the staff to put out the paper every month had had any experience. We looked upon this year as a starter and did not expect much better results than we received. A number of changes were made with the members on the staff and the following is a list of those who have held positions. Editor-in-Chief ............ ...............................................

We hope to have a fine and snappy little printed paper from now on. This year has seen the beginning and the hardest part of publishing a school paper done. The student body is interested in the paper and the staff has a year's experience behind them. All indications favor the steady publication of The Cardinal Notes from now on. W. P. '32

A. in the high school which is made up of the students: Its purpose is: To create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. Along with this is our motto or slogan- Clean living, clean speech, clean athletics, clean scholarship and contagious Christian character. We began the year by printing the Football Schedules, attractive little cards, which were given to any student 'wishing one. Our second large project was to sponsor a school newspaper which should be a permanent feature in our high school. The Club published a small mimeographed paper for a short time and then handed it over to a regular staff. We have watched with great interest its success and believe it to have been well worth our while. Our meetings every Wednesday evening in the school have consisted main- ly of discussion of school problems and their remedies and programs of various games. Every month we held a supper meetingftureen style. Twice during the year we held initiation ceremonies, each time admitting four new members. About Christmas time we entertained the Chautauqua County Boys Forum at the M. E. Church where discussion of the Hi-Y and its relation to school problems followed a dinner. The last meeting was a Weiner roast held several miles up the lake. .There was a general program of games and all the fun which accompanies an evening by a roaring fire. W W. P. '32

THE CARDINAL - 1932 27 Scouts of Troop 31 The Boy Scouts of Lakewood Troop 51 have been very busy doing things this year. At the first of the year the scouts had a contest selling candy to raise money for the Troop to pay each scout's way to camp. The Scouts were most interested in making belts and shields of leather which they decorated with their camp awards. Wheii the Troop meetings started again in the fall the main objects were passing tests and earning merit badges. The new scouts worked on their ten- derfoot tests, the others succeeding in getting four or five new second class, a first class and one star. In February the annual Court of Awards was held at St. Luke's Church in Jamestown. Two Lakewood boys, john Bootey and Charles Guertin received the Eagle Badge which is the highest rank awarded to any scout. Charles Becker already an Eagle Scout received a Bronze Palm for his extra work. The troop was awarded twenty-five merit badges. Lakewood was presented with a streamer for the flag as a special award as most outstand- ing Troop of the council. At the present time the patrols are preparing for an Inter-Patrol Contest which is to include Signaling, First Aid, Fire by Friction, Knot Tying and the Oath and Laws. Each patrol enters one or two persons in each event. There are metal badges for the first places. Soon there will be a Camp Bree held overnight at Allegheny to which the Troop will send its representative patrol to enter different contests. Later a larger event called a Jamboree will be held at Rochester and the best Patrol will represent the Troop there. This year the scouts will hold their summer camp on their new site on Chautauqua Lake near Light House Point. It will be a great improvement over the previous camps. It is hoped the Lakewood scouts will all be present. ROBERT BOOTEY, '36 GIRL SCOUTS The Girl Scouts have been exceptionally active this year. There are now two Troops. Mrs. Iver Anderson is captain of Troop One assisted by Martha Nelson and Mary Gardner. Miss Dorothea Scheible is captain of Troop Two assisted by Bertie Anderson. Troop One meets Mondays after school and Troop Two meets every Tuesday evening. Throughout the year both Troops have done quite a bit of hiking. In November Troop Two spent a week end at Camp Newatah. Lakewood was well represented at the Rally in December, several girls receiving badges. In the spring the girls of Troop Two visited the journal Office. At present we are looking forward to the big Spring Rally to be held at Camp Newatah the second Saturday in june. ALBERTA ANDERSON, '32
