Girl Scouts December 1-December 8 The weekend convention at the Drake hotel, December 1 .and 2 was a great success. The programs were unusually fine, and the Girl Scouts had a great time both in a "fun" way and in an inspirational way. It was great fun to see the movies taken at ·OUr camps last summer and to see old friends again at the reunion. The Scouts were happy to meet Mrs. Rippin, our national director, and enjoyed her talk and stories at the Scouts' Own Service Sunday immensely. The message which Mrs. Rippin left with us was "Have dreams and ambitions, but at the same time 'be yourself'". William Walton Elected Class Officer at Ames William F.
