April 14, 1928 WINNETKA 'FALK 45 Six Scouts Made Members of Order of the Red Arrow Three awards were offered to Scouts during the Spring Camp which was held at the Cabin in the Woods last week. One of the prizes was a large and good cake donated by F. A. Wil- son. It was won by the Hoot Owl patrol and the Scouts of the patrol are to have a reunion soon and con- sume the cake. Another award was a novel purple leather necktie. This was to signify that the wearer was an honor camper. Most all of the Scouts in the Camp received one. The last and greatest of the awards was the honor given to six Scouts, membership in the "Order of the Red Arrow." This is a national organiza- tion and a very difficult honor to ob- tain. To receive it a Scout must first be a superior camper and woodsman. He must also be a help to the camp. The awards were made Thursday night. All of the Scouts were awak- ened about a half hour after "taps." They lined up across the room and the members of the Order came in from the other room where they had voted on who was to receive the awards. Then two Scouts, John Betcek, Troop 22, and Bob King, Troop 2, who were members of the Order, passed along the line, carry- ing a red lantern. They stood mo- mentarily in front of the candidates and clapped each one three times on the shoulder and then the old and proposed new members gathered in the next room for refreshments and a program. All of the candidates were required to keep silence for sixteen hours. The Scouts receiving the award were Phil Brooks, Troop 2, Wilmette; Gor- don Cutler, Troop 2, Wilmette; George Bersch, Troop 4, Wilmette; Bruce Sid Jack Kenyon, Troop 4, Wilmette; Davies, Troop 10, Wilmette; DeBeers, Troop 22, Glencoe. --Bruce Kenyon, Troop 4. Girls' Group Sponsors New Trier Matinee Dance The Girls' club of New Trier is spon- soring a matinee dance in the Mess hall of the school this Friday. The music is to be supplied by a radio- trope, which is an amplifying instru- ment used with radio programs and victrola records, and is especially suc- cessful when used for dance music. Proceeds are to go into the girls' club scholarship fund. ALUMNAE ENTERTAIN The Smith College alumnae of the north shore are to give a party on April 24, at the home of Mrs. Phil Barber, 159 Lake avenue, Glencoe.

GIVE RADIOTROPE TEA DANCE Last Friday at New Trier High school, the girl's club sponsored a very delightful form of tea dance called, the Radiotrope. = Radios and victrolas were stationed all over the Mess hall for the young people to dance to. As usual there was a big attendance and the Radiotrope was more than a suc- cess. Mr. and Mrs. S. Scott Joy, Miss Dorothy Joy, and Robert Joy, 370 Sheridan road, returned Friday, April 6, from Lake Wales, Fla. where they spent several months. Miss Elizabeth Joy has been visiting friends in Vir- ginia but expects to return home soon.
