SCOUTS GO ON
MYSTERY TRIP;
HONOR TO TROOP IV
WHIPPOOR-WILL
On Saturday, May 7, the Girl
Scouts from all the troops of this
city went on a “mystery trip.” Each
troop decorated a car or truck, sig
nifying something in the life of a
Girl Scout. For instance, one troop
decorated a truck and inside the
back of it they had a scene from the
life of Juliette Lowe, the founder
of Girl Scouts in America. The ef
fective manner in which the Scouts
dramatized the scene and decorated
the truck, merited this Troop 11 the
first prize, which was the honor of
getting their picture, with the truck,
in the newspaper. Another truck was
decorated by Troop 1 which won
second prize. It illustrated a forest
scene with all the Scouts camping.
The third prize winner was Troop
IV of Junior High, which had a
green open automobile with red up
holstery, making the red paper deco
rations very harmonious. In the back
of the car, a three-leaf clover, which
is the Girl Scout trefoil, was placed
with the initials G. S. on it.
The cars all left Junior High,
where they had been judged, and
started on their “mystery” trip
which they found out was Camp
Uwharrie. After they arrived, it was
almost time to eat, so after playing
awhile, the Scouts picked out a cool
spot in the woods to eat. After lunch
the Scout councillors made punch for
the Scouts.
When everyone had finished, the
contests started. Each troop had two
girls for each contest, which includ
ed bed-making, first aid, fire-build
ing, signaling and nature study. The
first contest was fire-building. The
two girls that got the fire built and
the water boiling first, won the
honor of first prize. Troop IV was
first, which gave them a certain
number of points. That troop also
won in the first aid, which was dem
onstrating different bandages. After-
all the contests were over. Troop IV
had the most points, therefore win
ning the honor.
After a very enjoyable time at
Camp Uwharrie, the Girl Scouts re
turned to High Point, saying that it
was the most fun they had had and
a typical Girl Scout outing.

When the air is still.
Comes the song of the
Whippoor-will,
Whippoor-will.
From March to May,
High and shrill.
Night and day
When all is still,
Whippoor-will,
Whippoor-will.
No music can compare.
That flow-s from the stream.
Soft on the twilight air.
Can complete one’s dreams,
Whippoor-will,
Whippoor-will.
O feathered body creature.
Whose home is the mill,
And God is your teacher.
On night air still comes
Whippoor-will,
Whippoor-will.
BOOK CLUB IN 202
(Beulah Tedder)
Looking back over the year, room
202 is certainly proud of what they
have accomplished in their book
club which was organized on April
12 and has met regularly every
Thursday since then.
During the first meeting on April
12, officers were elected as follows:
President, Grady Summey; secretary,
Eunice Mitchell, and critic, Brooks
Ridge.
Also committee chairmen were ap
pointed. Book committee. Brooks
Ridge; program committee, Mildred
Yarborough; author committee, Lu
ther Winslow, and current events
committee, Doris McMahan.
The program chairman worked
constantly in getting up interesting
programs.
Probably the most interesting one
this year was based on a debate,
“Resolved, That Country Life Is
More Interesting Than City Life.”
The affirmative side won.
Another interesting program was
given in May. This was a program
describing characters in books which
had been read during the year. Every
pupil took part in that program.
QUALITY SHOE STORE
CORRECTION!
(Hassalyne Brewer)
The aquarium in room 206 is not
on the road to recovery! It’s getting
worse! One afternoon it was filled
with water with fish in it. The next
morning there was no water in the
aquarium or on the floor and the
fish were struggling for their lives
Where did the water go? Who will
solve the problem of the missing
water and help the aquarium recover
from its long “illness” ?
Who Are They?
(Freda Carter)
During home room period one

INCIDENTS CULLED FROM
LIFE STORIES
Below are a few excerpts taken
from autobiographies written by
people in 104:
Mildred Welch told us how she
wanted to see the "birdie” when she
had her first picture taken. She also
told of her disappointment when she
didn’t see the “birdie.”
George Moser informed us about
one of the worst things he ever did.
It was practically burning up the
house in which he lived. George has
always been something of a prank
ster.
Estelle Leyton said once when
she was small she was crying and
her sister threw her on the floor.
After Mrs. Leyton found out that
Estelle was not injured, she asked
Estelle's sister whj'! she did that,
and her sister said: “Well, I do it
to my doll, and it stops her cry
ing.”
Wanda Smoot told us about the
time she dug up her aunt’s flowers.
Wanda’s aunt had worked for an
hour planting the flowers, then
Wanda dug them up and ran away.
Her aunt never has mentioned the
flowers to Wanda who has been in
misery ever since.
There were many more amusing
things told us, such as Ruth Hodgins
being bitten by a crawfish, Billy
Brown trying to ride the waves at
the beach, and Clifton Surrett being
punished for putting his mother’s
silverware in an oil can.
Isn’t it fun to remember things?
We’re very young yet, but we cer
tainly have a good start in life.
—Winifred Wall.
