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.

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 ............ ............................................... W inston D. Peake Assistant Editor .......... .......................................................... L illian Peterson Art Editors ..................... .......,.... C onstance Attwood, james McGraw Exchange Editor ................. ..............................................

Archie Anderson, William McConnell Sports Editor ......................,................................................................ james Gardner School News Editors ........................... Florence Falldine, Lura Bucklin Humor Editors ..............,....,...................,................,......... Fred Butler, Paul Coe The Staff for next year is yet to be chosen. 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

28 THE CARDINAL - 1932 Domestic Science Department Our new addition brought to us a very popular department which is used incessantlyg it is the Domestic Science Department. We have two large roomsg one a kitchen in which all of the cooking is done, and the other a dining room. Very appetizing odors often come from the kitchen and are carried to all parts of the building. Our kitchen is very modernly equipped with an electric re- frigerator, four gas stoves, and a row of sinks and cupboards through the middle of the room. In addition we have a china closet in which we keep our dishes. In the room used for a dining room we have new chairs and tables. We have had a visitor for the last few days, who by name was Mickey Mouse. He was our mascot but just as soon as Miss Perkins had built him a home and bed, he ran away. Everyone feels quite downhearted about losing our little pet. In our election of officers, Robert Klock was elected presidentg Betty jane Vernon vice president and Charlottle Klock, secretary. The classes gave a chapel program the 19th of Februaryg the cast for which was picked from all classes. QN. B. We are all rejoicing now as our Mickey Mouse has come back to us., C. K., '35 SEWING DEPARTMENT In january our new Sewing Department started classes under the capable leadership of Miss Perkins. The department is cleverly furnished with every article necessary for a perfect sewing room. The students have made many useful personal articles including pajamas and slips. The class has been a complete success and we hope the desire for sewing in our High School will increase. B I '34 . .,
