FOR THF SCHOOL YEAR 1930- 1931 We have been assigned the ' maze-marching' in the annual Spring Display, which is being held at the Forum this year in .-Xpril g and are at present doing our best to become proficient in this art. On january seventeen a Patrol Leader's Training Course was held at Head- quarters for Central District P.l.s. All our P.I.s. attended, and we feel certain that all of them have passed the first part. Part two of the Course, begins on March l-lth. In February a successful paper-chase was run on the mountain, points being awarded in the Patrol Competition. Our P.I.s. attended in full force the annual banquet for Patrol Leaders held at the YYindsor Hotel. :Xt this time there are two King's Scouts in the troop, G. Miller, and Il. Powell. A Kings Scout is a First Class Scout who has passed the .-Xmbulance and Pathfinder prof- iciency badges and any two of the following : Cyclist lor Horseman l, Klarksman, Signaller, Fireman, Rescuer, Interpreter and Public Health Man. He is re-examined annually for these four badges. THE SCOl.'TS' WEEK-FND .-XT ST. NI.-XRG.-XRI'fT'S COUNTRY CLCB. On Saturday, February 28th, forty three Scouts of t'ie School Troop 1-llstl, with Mr. YYanstall and Mr, Maycock l,Scoutmasterl. entrained at Mile Pnd Station. After a comfortable journey in a private car we arrived on time at St. Marguerite, and made all speed to the Club. Baggage having been dumped, and billets allotted, as Cfesar would say, the more energetic immediately donned skis and streaked off in all directions. Messrs. Pattisson and Counsell, who had come up on Friday evening, were discovered cooling otf after an early run. ln the afternoon the majority went ski-joring to the Chalet Cochand, and the experts sampled the ski jumps, while those remaining at the Club followed the trailsround about. After dinner various games were played, High Cockaloruni and leg wrestling proving popular. :X good breakfast the next morning preceded the division of all boys into two classes according to their skiing ability. The elder group chased a very fast pair of hares over a still' trail and caught them after a view. Mr. Pattisson followed these hounds, while lX'Ir. YYanstall and Mr. Counsell followed the junior hounds, who did not catch their hares. The hares were S. Johnston, H. Peck, tl. Powell, C. Goodfellow. Mr. H. P. Douglas, President of the Montreal Ski Club, who had arrived in the morning, led the whole party to a hilly part of the Golf course, where a Slalom contest was held. The boys were divided into groups as before, and each essayed to ski round pegs placed in difiicult spots. ll. Powell won the Seniors with the fastest time of -H . tl. Burke was successful in the juniors with a time of SWS . .-Xfter dinner Mr. Douglas presented the two cups, which he had kindly given, to the two winning Scouts. Between the foregoing events, the toboggan slide and bobsleigh were popular, whilst inside the Club pingpong and table football provided amusement. The weather was perfect on both days, though skiing conditions were rather heavy in the sun g this, however, was overcome by a liberal use of ski-wax. We were fortunate in having no casualties to carry home in our private car, which would soon have become a public coach, had we not begged the Coadactor to lock us in, which he kindly did. Eventually we were disgorged with innumerable skiers at XYindsor Station at 9 p.m. :X most enjoyable outing, and we wish to thank Mr. Dwight Brainerd very heartily for having made it possible. l ll l
