Miss Fisher took orders for new badges and other things the girls wanted to order. After doing that, she told us that Saturday, May 6, we were to sell our Girl Scout cookies. Instead of Miss Fisher and Miss Althoff giving the girls their sections to sell in, Bonnie Page, Elaine Landgren, and Nadine Schaefer were each assigned a part of the town to divide among the girls in that locality. They are hoping it will work out all right. " Since there was no more business to talk over, the meeting was dismissed. Some of the girls stayed and played baseball, while the others went to the baseball game in the park.
