The Court of Honor at the Legion hall last Monday was opened with the Pledge of' Allegiance. Seventeen Scouts were present and a gratifying number of our sponsors, the Legionnaires. Post Commander John Dreymiller presented the Scouts with their 1942 registration cards. Then the Scoutmaster introduced the Eagle and Life Scouts. A talk explaining the emergency service patrol was given by Eagle Scout Glenn Peterson. He *lso announced that a meeting will be held tonight (Thursday). The requirements that a Second Class Scout must pass were then reviewed by Eagle Scout Donald Schaefer and the presentation of Second Crass cards by Adjutant Howard Cairns. La Verne Lockwood, George Goranson, Gilbert Artery and Dick Baum were the Scouts •hat received these Second Class cards. Life Scout Robert Richardson then gave thr? tests that a Second Class Scout must pass to become a First Class Scout. The rank of First Class Scout was conferred by Clarence Douglas upon Scotft Harry Mueller and Scout George Goranson. Committeeman William Althoff then presented the Merit Badges to the Scouts that merited them. These Scouts were George Goranson, Harry Mueller, La- Verne Lock wood, Dick Baum, Robert Richardson and Adolph Weideman. Committeeman Althoff made the announcement that there will be a Scout- Oree at Oregon, 111., Feb. 19, tot Scout Leaders and committeemen. The committeemen in Post 491 are William Althoff, Clarence Douglas, Howard Cairns, Ray McGee, Homer Fitzgerald and Elmer Freund. Ray Page presented the Bronze Palms to Eagle Scouts Don Schaefer and Tom Lawson. Eagle Scout Lawson gave the requirements. An old Scout Committeeman, Ray McGee, presented the Gold Palm to Eagle Scout Glenn Peterson, who also stated the requirements. This ended the Court of Honor and we were served with refreshments.

The first part of the meeting was given in Miss Larkin's room where we played games dealing with Valentine poems, hearts, and stories. jWe then went into the gym and played the louder and more active games. The Valentine box, always the main feature of the party, was placed in the middle of a large circle, and the eighth grade Scouts and Virginia Strattoa delivered the Valentines to their owners./ After we had compared our Valentines, read the verses carefully, and had lots of laughs, we marched up to the stage and found our places at the prettily decorated tables. While ate, prizes won in the games were given to Jean Nickels, Elida Page, and Agnes Miller. Miss Larkin and Miss Bauer thanked the hostesses for their efforts which made this party one of the most successful of the year. The evening's fun closed, and we gathered up our Valentines and scrambled for our wraps before going out into the snow and home. Don't forget, Scouts, our next meet* ing is Monday, Feb. 23. We shall continue our knitting at that time. JEAN NICKELS, Scribe. This throueh the generosity of the Honorable Frank O. Lowden, a former Governor of Illinois.
