Gladys Iingvall was chosen as president, Dolores XYilczek as vice-president and Rena Young as secretary. The purpose of the Ushers' Club is to usher for school activities held in the evening. The Ushers' Club has had a guest speaker to talk to them on good-grooming and etiquette and in future years hope to plan more activities for the girls participating in the club. RECORDING OUR SAVINGS The bank tellers' club is com- posed of pupils who are interested in checking the banking in the school. The pupils volunteer for this job. This club does all the banking in the school. Ifvery Tuesday morning, the tellers and cashiers go to their assigned rooms, and take the money the pupils wish to bank. The money envelopes are then collected, and put in bags to be taken to Auburn Savings Bank. Through this savings plan. the pupils learn the value of saving money. The club, which has beer. in existence for four years. has done a fine job banking for the school. .f3.. Ak ,A an ...K Row It N. Young, M. Burns, I.. Yan Fleet, K. Baker, R. Graf. ,l. Smith S. Carey.

The Ifxplorer Scouts are scattered throughout the world. Richard Curry of l'ort Byron is the field executive in Cayuga County, and David Tyler is the scout executive for the Cayuga County of the Hoy Scouts of America. BREAKING THE TRAIL Row li D.

The Port Byron Iloy Scouts are recognized throughout Cayuga County, as the largest. most active scout group in the county. They have at least two representatives in every or- ganization in the county, as The Order of the Arrow. These scouts seem always to have the majority vote on all scouting problems and debates. These scouts also seem to have more leadership than the whole county combined, as shown by the staff at Camp Rotary last year. Over three-fourths of the staff were from l'ort liyron. This included the Program Director, Craft Instructor, two unit leaders, assistant cook, dishwasher, canteen attendant. and bugler. According to the reports from the central office. the l'ort Byron Scouts are leading the Northern District in advancement, The I'ort liyron Scouts. if they continue to adi vance. will be one of the finest groups in the state. if 'A ,D Row 2: II.
