SFLWYN HOCSI-1 SCI-IOOI. NIAGAZINP Ilfillffl' Tami. We held our meetings on the school grounds and on the Mountain, until the weather became too inclement. We then repaired to Scout Headquarters on Bishop Street, but Toy Shop activities in December forced us to seek shelter elsewhere. Through the kind- ness of the Rey. Dr. G.H. Donald we used the Kildonan Hall during this month. Orfobfr. The Nlontreal Central District held a Treasure Hunt at Montreal Wiest. Scout Grier had the good fortune to be in the winning Patrol. The Scouts were directed entirely by typed instructions over a course of about a mile, and the use ofa compass was necessary. The outing ended with refreshments and a singsong around the camp fire. Part l of the Sphinx Patrol course vi as held at H.Q.: all our P. Ls. attended together with the T.l.. .Vo zwzzber. The .-Xrmistice Day Silence was observed by the customary Troop Parade at ll o'clock. This year, the bugler blew the Last Post from the balcony of the iNIaster's Common Room. The success of the Sphinx Training Courses led to the organization of a Seconds' Rally which was held for the first time this year. Most of our Seconds attended, and we hope they learnt exactly how to be helpful to their P. l.s. DFC6Illd67'. The Scout Toy Shop again claimed our attention. However, we did not put in as many hours' service as last year. The total number of toys repaired this Christmas amounted to 16,600 The end of the term saw all recruits invested, except 3 who joined after half term. All the P. Ls. had passed Part l of the Sphinx Training Course. :Xt this time 331 ofthe Troop had their Second Class Badges. Once again we managed to send Christmas hampers to poor families. Ezuler Term. At the beginning of the term the standing of the Patrols in the Competition was in the following order: Hyena, Fox, Wolf, Buffalo, Cougar, Eagle, Bulldog, Lion. During January, February and March we skated at the Coliseum and occasionally on the School Rink, on Tuesdays, and held our meetings on Fridays at Headquarters. Yarzzlazy. All our P. Ls. attended Part 2 of the Sphinx Course, at this time. 5 P. Ls. have passed this test and P. Ls. Henderson and Johnston have completed their final test. We hope all our P. Ls. will finish this course. February: VVe attended the Central District Rally at the Montreal High School, taking part in the Relay Race and the Tug-of-war. P.L. Henderson and Scout Grimaldi amused us by their efforts at blindfold boxing. The Troop Colours were carried by P. L. Birks and P.L. Patch with Scout I. Barclay as Colour Guard. The T.L. and all our P.Ls. went to the annual Patrol Leaders' Banquet. They listened to a very humorous speech by Mr. John Stiles, Chief Commissioner for Canada, but did not see anything so inspiring as the Rope Spinning of last year. l7l
