Oil During the 1952-'53 school year, the Milton Academy Troop of the Boy Scouts enjoyed one of their most active seasons in recent years. Chief among the accom- plishments of the 25 boys comprising Troop 9 was the establishment of the Scout headquarters in the former skate house on the shores of Lake O,Hare. In the spring months, the room was painted gay hues and the equipment of the organiza- tion was removed from the gym. The proj- ect was culminated by a gala open house late in May. Another major change instituted this year concerned the renaming of the patrols. The four previous units were done away with and three new patrols, the Sabres, Scorpions, and Baccoons were set up. Meetings were held as before every Fri- day night when there were no other school coats events scheduled. The agenda often in- cluded talks by guests after the opening exercises. At other times, discussions and sessions in knot tying and other subjects were held. Each meeting included some contest between the three patrols, and re- freshments were often served afterward. In addition, there were a few week-end trips and hikes to nearby points of inter- est. The Scout cup was awarded to Phippy Weld at the end of the year in recognition of his attainments in Scouting. Many thanks are due Mr. Remick for taking over the job of Scoutmaster, and supervising the reorganization of the Troop. Much is also owed the Patrol Lead- ers and Harry Cratwick, the Senior Patrol Leader. Best of luck to Mr. Bemick and his Troop in ,53-,54.
