The Senior Girl Scouts have
started out to be a very active
troop in the community with
leaders Mrs. Jo Ann Conklin and
Betty Shamblin.
This year we have divided into
four patrols, the Beatniks, Old
Maids, Silly Sooth Sayers, and
the Starlings. Each patrol will
have one money-making project
and one troop - sponsored party.
The Silly Sooth Sayers assisted
with the PTA booth at the Arctic
Club Carnival. The Beatniks had
a November party with the theme
as Beatniks. This was held in the
multi-purpose room at the school
after the USO show on Friday,
the 11th. Quite a number of boys
and girls were present and re
ported the party a success.
The Nome Chamber of Com
merce has agreed to sponsor us
in helping to get our new Senior
uniforms.
Last Wednesday night the girls
packed boxes of fudge, cookies,
and fruit cake for four different
isolated White Alice sites for our
service project. We are collect
ing information on Nome’s past
and present to aid us in our in
