BOY SCOUT NEWS
The boys are now passing their
tenderfoot tests fast and there is
a reason for all of this rush. Last
January a rule was passed that all
hoys who have not passed their
tenderfoot test by March 15 will
he dropped from their patrol and
the ones who have passed their
tests, w ho nre not already assign
ed, will fill their places. All of
the Patrol Leaders and assistants
have passed, so this doesn't wor
ry them. Seoul Master Deck an
nounced that in a Week there will
he a new election of Patrol Lead
ers and assistants "because some
of them don't seem interested
enough in the movement.
With each week the baseball
season comes closer and the fever
is attacking the scouts. The Bob

chosen Captain and Scout Ken
neth Linklater was elected man

good team and Manager Linkla
ter says they want to get in prac
tice as soon as possible so they
can be in shape to whip the Bea
vers and Panthers. The Panthers
and Beavers will hold a meeting
March 10, for the purpose of
choosing their otheers for their
team.
Dr- J. II. Rossman has ordered
a volley ball for the scouts to use
after meetings.
Assistant. Scout Master R. L.
Smith has given us two lessons in
signaling and an exhibition was
given at the last meeting by two
scouts. It is one of the require
ments of the sceondclass test to
be able to signal correctly.
Dr. Helms is giving us instruc
tion on bandaging which is anoth
er qualification for the second
class scout.
Those who have not yet passed
their tenderfoot test have been

be seen that llillshoro students

their success lies in two facts
which are a follows: First,
Hill.sboro has had unusally good
vocal and Instrumental material
students, in other words; sec
ond, Hill.sboro has had a number
of very excellent musical histriie-
Vincent' Engeldinger has join
