TROOP NUMBER SIX Lincoln Junior High Girl Scout Troop Number Six of the Girl Scouts of America was organized late in the Fall of 1924, under the leadership of Mrs. Foley, Latin Instructor, Who had taken a course in Scout Leadership at the University of Minnesota during the summer. The troop numbers fourteen, of Whom three were transferred from a for- mer troop at Willard School. The majority have passed the Tenderfoot Test, and are now working on the Second Class Test. The meetings are held every Wednesday afternoon and are devoted to Girl Scout activities of varying nature. Hikes are taken when the weather per- mits, giving the girls an opportunity to study nature under supervision. The girls are very interested in the girl scout program, and are working hard to earn proflciency badges in various lines. Several hope to earn Interpre- terTs Badges before June. Since the troop is new, it has not taken part in city activities, but the girls are very anxious to show their interest and to gain their share of the honors. They hope to participate in the Field Day Exercises in May, and are all plane ning and hoping to go to camp in the summer. 41

GIRL SCOUTS TROOP NUMBER FOUR x The Girl Scouts of Troop Number Four under Captain Mrs. Bret Moran, history teacher, was the lirst to invade the new Lincoln Junior High School. The Scouts, eleven in number, came with their principal, Mr. Lewis, from the old Harrison School. Today the troop numbers fifty-six wide-awake healthy Scouts: Tenderfoot and Second Class. This is the largest troop in the city. The troop holds its meetings every Tuesday afternoon after school in the Girls Gymnasium, where Scout activities are taught and carried on. XVeather permitting, long hikes are taken and nature studied. Annually, the Scouts attend the lectures on ornithology and botany at the State University, given by Dr. Roberts. Once a year the Scouts entertain their Parents and Teachers at a HGet-to- gether-meeting furnishing the program and refreshments with the assistance of their Captain. Field Day in May, they always enter the Contests and carry off some of the Honors. In the summer they take turns in attending, for one week, the Camp of the Scouts, where real outdoor life activities are carried on. Many Scouts are always preparing themselves for some of the proiiciency badges. They are always loyal to their school, and boost for all activities of the school in a real Scout manner. Troop 4 is now getting up a play, llTwo Ghosts in White to be given in the near future, the proceeds to go toward our uSchool Picture Fund. If all boys and girls were Scouts, school teaching would be easy. 40
