The camp, it is reported by the boys, was a "glorious success." The 31 Scouts were divided into four patrols and an organized program was followed each day. The inter-patrol contest, won by the Hoot Owl patrol, was one of the big features of the outing. Although it rained--to be exact--two and one- third days out of the four days spent in camp, the showers failed to dampen the Scouts' enthusiasm and not one word of complaint was heard at any time. Scout Executive Walter McPeek re- ports that the boys "really placed the 'co' in co-operate" by working in com- plete harmony with their Junior Offi- cers and Camp directors despite the bad weather. A purple leather necktie was given each "honor camper," an award that won great favor with the boys. The four patrols were as follows: Hoot Owl patrol--Bruce Kenyon, 4, patrol leader; Craig Stoddard, 4, assis- tant patrol leader; Mark Stoddard, 4; Jack Sinding, 13; James Laing, 13; and Bob Fletcher, 2; Raven patrol-- Jack DeBeers, 22, patrol leader; Paul Sterner, 4, assistant patrol leader; Walter Hughes, Walter Roberts, Cam- eron Brown, Harry Keator, and Bur- ton French, all of Troop 22 of Glen- coe; Cuckoo patrol--Bob King, 2, patrol leader; Philip Brooks, assistant patrol leader; Harry Shank, Bud Howard, Bill Youngquist, Davis Lott, and Gordon Cutler, all of Troop 2 of Wilmette; Bob White patrol--John Betak, 22, patrol leader; Kermit Simon, 6, assistant patrol leader; Tom Tem- ple, 1; Billy Klein, 3; Jack English, 2; Allan Rossman, 2; and David Hender- son, 4 George Bersch of Troop 4, Wilmette, served as Senior Patrol Leader and supervised the eats. Sidney Davis, as- sistant Scoutmaster of Troop 10, as- sisted the camp directors in the direc- tion of the program. Gordon Cutler served as Scribe. Kenilworth Boys Motor Away During Vacation There was quite an exodus among the high school boys of Kenilworth this spring vacation and the wander- lust was in the air. Among those for- tunate enough to have cars at their disposal and the consent of their par- ents to satisfy this hunger for adven- ture were Bentley McCloud, George Kingsley and Hinman Bisbee. These boys headed south with the Mamouth Cave as their objective and they amazed their families by arriving at Louisville about 4 o'clock of the day on which they started. On their trip they not only visited the great cave but saw races at Louisville, visited Lexington, Ky. and did numerous other things. Others who took trips included Tom Hicks, "Butch" Keith, and Bill Reed, who motored in the Hicks' car to Champaign to visit the University of Illinois, to Lafayefte to see Purdue university, and then drove on to Ohio. Ralph Johansen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Johansen, 158 Bertling lane, re- turned home from the University of Illinois, where he is a freshman, for the spring vacation. He came home last week, and returned to Champaign Tuesday. 7 --O-- 4 Mrs. William Modes, 915 Oak street, entertained a number of friends at luncheon and bridge April 12. _
