FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1934-1935 SCOUT NEWS .5'ummer Term, 193-l. During the line weather the Scouts met either on the Mountain or on the School playground. When it rained we held our meetings at Troop Leader Barott, and Patrol Leaders Barclay, P. Little, and Lewis passed in their Sphinx Training course just hefore Easter. In May a few of our Scouts acted as ushers at the Montreal Repertory Thea.tre's play, The Inspector General , at the Victoria Hall. A number of Selwyn House Scouts marched in the Queen's Birthday Parade on May 26th. On May 30th the whole of the Troop ushered at the Boy Scouts' Annual Spring Display at the Percival Molson Stadium. The Troop had its annual half-holiday on the Mountain on June 12th, when we had an exciting paper chase. and took our tea on the Cricket ground. .1'wfzrd.ff0r 1933e3-l: The Philip Mackenzie Cup, Inter-Patrol Competition: - .-Xwakus rox 19336-l. f Buffalo Patrol: Patrol Leader YY.

The Troop began its activities with meetings held on the Mountain. For the first month there were six patrols, as during the previous year. The newly appointed Troop Leader was YY. Barclay, and the Patrol Leaders were D. Lewis, C.T. Johnson, P. Mackenzie, H. Patch, J. Hodge, and E. Chambers. Membership increased to a total of 52, including Scouts and Recruits, necessitating a reorganization. It was decided to divide the Troop into halves, each half consisting of four patrols. Boys from the 3rd Form and higher Forms went into the 'A Yellow half, and boys below the 3rd entered the Blacks U. Experienced Scouts were appointed as Leaders for the Black half. Each half was to meet once a week. The new plan proved a success. Sroulnzzzrter - Mr. S. GREENLEES. Troop Leader - W. BARCLAY. HSELLOVV Half Palrols Patrol Leader: Sefozzdx. Liox C.T. Johnson M.
