L29-ltc Troop 3 Although the big inter-troop rally is only two weeks off, our efforts are not expended wholly along that line as evidenced by the fact that, at the Court of Honor held last Saturday evening at the Village hall, forty-two merit badges were awarded to the first class scouts of the troop. Scout Todd Wheeler carried off high hon- ors by receiving nine different badges. The other scouts and the number re- ceived --are--- as-- follows: - BueW^ Clepp-4, Culver-3, Kracke-2, F. fcund- berg-3, C. Lundberg-3, McCrea-2, Md- lmgton-3, Osborne-3, Stoker-3, Zim- mertnan-6. This brings our total to ninety-five merit badges and we are one year and two weeks old. As to the Rally, we will say that the most of the teams have been pick- ed and are doing good work. For in- stance, the wall scaling team held a practice Saturday afternoon and suc- ceeded in lowering the time for eight boys to scale the wail, to thirty-three seconds. .â- .â- â- *• The military drill is proceeding very satisfactorily under the direction of Capt.
