Girl Scout News
Dear Diary:
Some of the Boy Scouts came
out Sunday morning at 8:00. We
were disappointed, because we
expected more boys than 7.
First they showed us how to i
raise the flag. Then all the boys
went fishing after the flag was
raised, and the girls just played
around.
Then we had our lunch. After
lunch Nelle told us we had to go
on a hike up as far as Dunbars’
camp. When we got there Mrs.
Dunbar made us some lemonade.
When we came back we had
our picture and movie taken. Then
the boys came back from fishing.
After a while we were called in
for dinner. After dinner we played
ball games and then the girls and
boys had a wonderful dance. Af
ter a while the boys had to go
back to town and then we went
to bed. —Mary Louise Lyle.
Dear Diary:
Last night Nelle went up in the
attic and scared us by hitting the
pipe.
This morning we got up at 8
a.m. At 1 p.m. some of us went
berry picking. June and Bunny
went fishing, June got one fish.
After we ate supper we fed the
squirrls and played games.
Kitty got stung when we were
picking berries.
