Mr. Brauer, the director,'could not be present when they played on Central avenue, so George Ward took charge, and directed the hand with good success.-Herald Tryon, B9. The Boy Scouts Although we do not have a Boy Scout Troop in connection with McKinley, we do have many boys who belong to the ditierent troops located near here, and who bring credit to our school in this con- nection. The aim of the Scout movement is to help boys do things them- selves, to promote their ability, and to teach them to be more loving and kind. The good training a boy gets from the Scouts will show in later years. If a Boy Scout is a true Scout he will live up to certain ideals. He is fair and square. While having, a test he does not look at another hoy's paper. lf he does, and passes, it will not help him in later years. If a boy lives up to the rules, it not only makes him a better school citizen and student, but a true, honest American citizen.-Scout .l.

T TYTYYTY1WTTYV??.fY The Girl Scout The Girl Scout organization was started under the name of Girl Guides, which name was later changed to the present name be- cause it was thought to tit better the ideals of the American organi- zation. The purpose of this organization is to bring the girls up to be healthy, clean, and useful. The tests which the members must take show whether one can accept responsibility for different things. Some people think t-hat the purpose of the Girl Scouts is to go on camping trips and hikes, but although we do go on these camping trips, it is just to help us to be healthy and to love out- door life. Although our troop started out with eight girls, we have worked very hard until we got more girls interested in scouting, and we now have a large troop. , The girl who is a Scout gains much help in being a good citizen and in being loyal to her school.-Anna Miller, A8. The Girl Reserves The Girl Reserves is the national movement of the Young Women's Christian Association for girls in the cities, towns, and the open country. Any girl between twelve and eighteen, whether in grade school, Junior High School, High School or business and in- dustry, may become a member, sharing in the good times, hikes, camps, and service to other girls in all the world, if she pledges her- self to accept the slogan, purpose and code. SLOGAN: To face life squarely. PURPOSE: To find a-nd give the best. CODE: As a Girl Reserve I will he gracious in manner, im- partial in judgment, ready for service, loyal to friends, reaching toward the best, earnest, in purpose, seeing the beautiful, eager for lcnowledgellretverent to God, victorious over self, even dependable, sincere at a imesf' The organization is divided into many clubs or triangles. Many of the McKinley girls belong to the Tacoma Triangle, where we have a great deal of fun, but aside from fun we work for honors, which are divided into four main groups: Spirit, Health, Knowledge and Service.-Emma and Martha Delsasso.
