Girl Scouts Entertain
Mothers at Pot Luck
Monday evening the Girl Scouts
were hostesses at a pot luck sup
per to their mothers and teachers.
Twenty-seven plates were served
The table was decorated with mari
golds and chrysanthemums and the
holiday napkins. Several people
found topics of discusión under
their plates und some of them were
too deep to be discussed intelligently
without more time for research. A
puzzle was also worked out during
the meul. Miss Moore told five dut
ies of a troop committee. Mrs. Hol-
derness spoke of some of the pro
jects to be carried out in the future.
When ilessert was served everyone

is hoped some more mothers will be
able to attend.
