COSTUME PROGRAM CLIMAXES STUDY BY GIRL SCOUTS Girl Scouts of Roanoke Rapids climaxed a study of the Latin American Countries by presenting a representative program on the vacant lots adjoining the scout hut at Eighth and Hamilton Streets Friday evening. Prior to the program, the troops laid fires on the grounds for the five troop suppers. Immediately after the supper the scouts joined together in sing ing and dancing folk dances. Fol lowing the recreational period, the varied program was presented. The theme of the program cen tered about the Pan-American en campment of girl scouts with the North American girls as host esses. Mary Clark, member of the senior troop, introduced the scouts who represented the various countries studied. Troop IV, representing Mexico gave a short dramatization of farm life in that country and sang several Mexican songs. Troop H, representing Argentina and Guatamala, gave a dance used by the natives of the former country. They also presented a highly decorated wagon, repre sentative of the type of art used on festive occasions in Guatamala. The Brownies presented their cook-out program in an inter esting setting with wigwams and fires among the pines. They re presented the Incas, fierce In dians who settled in Peru. These “little Indians” presented, in na tive costume, a Peruvian dance and game. Troop III made a study of the countries of Bolivia, Brazil, Col ombia, and Uruguay during the study period this spring and intro duced foods and customs of those countries to the other scouts. The girls prepared foods re presenting Uruguay and Brazil, They had also Devil food cakes with iced designs like the side walks in Brazil. Girls in bathing togs and carrying roses repre sented the capital of Uruguay, Montevideo. Another girl was dressed in a costume containing much tinware, representative of Bolivia, where the United States gets a great deal of fhe metal. The girls in troop III a.so showed a bit of theatre etiquette of Co lombia. There the people, when they do not like a show, simply start calling for something bet ter. In order to quiet them, the management has to provide better entertainment. Troop IV, representing the North American scouts who have been studying folk dances, presented a dance to the tune of “Yankee Doodle”, characteristic of the square dances of this country. Taps was sung in conclusion. The program, planned on a much larger scale than that pre sented. was curtailed by the part the scouts played in the recent fc Rock Fish Festival. The scouts from all the troops spent one afternoon cleaning up the vacant lots on which the programs were presented. That oc casion ended with a nose-bag feed, well earned by the scouts. Many of the girls have expressed a desire to see these and other vacant lots in the city made more attractive, at the same time af fording additional recreational I space.
