A meeting of the troop was held in Hannan Hall on Friday evening, April 28rd. Mr. Herbert Goff, eommisaoner, of Delavan gave awards to the eight Tenderfoot candidates so that they have become full-fledged Scouts. It is hoped that the Boy Scouts here will always Ik- a prosperous and permanent organization. The Playtime Club The Play Time Club was organized in December, 11 47, for the intermediate girls. During the past year twenty girls were members. The officers were: President, Betty Sanderson; Secretary, Dorothea Schwebke; Treasurer, Joy Erickson. Meetings were held once a week on Thursdays after school. The purpose of the club was recreational. When the weather was nice, there were outdoor meetings and at other times the meetings were usually in the girls’ gymnasium. During the year a variety of games were learned and played not only for the immediate fun and pleasure, hut with the hope that the girls would use these games on their own at other times. Among the games were relays of all kinds, stunts, dodgeball, basketball, indoor baseball, various partner games, fox and geese, hop scotch, prison and beckon. Other activities included tobog-gar ing. swimming, hiking and picnics with weiner roasts and marshmallow roasts. The club leaders were Mrs. Dunham, Mrs. Duick, Mrs. Gant, and Miss Ilaivor-son. Junior Red Cross The Junior Red Cross is the newest organization. It was started two years ago. The membership committee was made up of Edward Czcrnieki, Robert Nichols, Mildred Shawanokasic, and Jean Hauser. Most of the pupils at W. S. D. from the third grade through the twelfth grade joined the Junior Red Cross and, with only a few exceptions, were glad to have their names entered as members. Early in October under the direction of Mrs Lowe and Mrs. Storey, the membership drive was launched. More than one hundred and ten pupils signed up. This year the Junior Red Cross at W. S. D„ from dues collected, paid for four boxes that were filled with articles that, the American Red Cross told us were in demand in European Countries. The boxes were turned over to the Red Cross Field Headquarters and later sent to needy persons overseas. Red Cross members, under the direction of Mrs. Storey, made napkin holders, nut cups, menu covers and posters for disabled veterans. Badgers The boys from nine through eleven years belong to the Badgers. The Badgers want to be honest and kind. They want to Ik- well and strong. They want to become Boy Scouts when they are twelve years old. The Badger meetings were hold once a week in the Badger Club room in Cochrane Hall. This year the Badger program consisted of regular meetings, picnics, and parties. Games were played and scrap books made for the hospital. Other handwork was done. The officers were: President, Stanley Helgeson; Vice-President, Leon Bongey; and Secretary, Donald Du Bois. The Badger leaders were Mrs. Pynn, Mrs. Stewart and Miss Neesam. Hollister Club The Hollister Club has been an organization for the hoys in Bray Hall for twelve years. Mr. Kastner is the supervisor of the Hollister Club. The boys hold regular meetings once a month. All the twenty-eight boys of Bray Hall are members. The officers for 1947-48 are: Leonard Peacock, President; Keith Richardson, Vice President; Phillip Plocar, Secretary; Robert Nichols, Treasurer; and Robert Turluck, Librarian.
