On the trail of Crazy Horse
Scout Steve Grutzik and sculptor Korczak
Ziolkowski are both men of vision. Ziol-
kowski hopes one day to chisel out of the
Black Hills of South Dakota a gigantic
memorial, a representation of the Sioux
Indian chief, Tashunka Witco, Crazy
Horse as the white men called him. Grut-
zik's eye was on the Eagle Scout award he
hoped to earn in part by mapping and
marking a trail for people to follow so they
could admire Ziolkowski's handiwork.
Ziolkowski's work is far from finished.
But Grutzik's foot path, now complete,
runs about five miles long and is marked
with wooden standards bearing miniature
silhouettes of the Crazy Horse memorial,
an Indian mounted on horseback. When
the sculpture is finished, it will stand out
boldly from a mountain 563 feet high,
competing in size with the famous Mount
Rushmore figures of Washington, Jeffer-
son, Lincoln, and Teddy Roosevelt. Ziol-
kowski, incidentally, was a protege of the
Rushmore creator, Gotzun Borglund.

Steve's father, Lt. Colonel Bob Grutzik,
an Order of the Arrow adviser, assisted
him. Steve also used fellow members of
the Crazy Horse Order of the Arrow
Lodge. A guide booklet resulted from
Steve's service project. It gives historical
background of Crazy Horse and data
about trees, flowers, rocks, etc., of the
area. Eagle Scout Steve's hope is that
someday the Crazy Horse path will be
included among those listed in the BSA's
official roster of approved historic trails.

Fortran V joins troop committee
There may come a time in the not-faraway
future when every Scoutmaster is able to
summon immediately from the unit's
computer an up-to-date record of what
requirements Star Scout Phil Jones needs
to earn Life Scout progress award, or how
many troop meetings Tenderfoot Fred
Smith has missed since March 1. For
Troop 87 of Nashville, that time is now.
Thanks to the expertise of Assistant
Scoutmaster Dr. Julian Gibbs. most of the
essential record keeping of Troop 87,
chartered to Belle Meade United Meth-
odist Church, is stored in a Vanderbilt
University computer. Gibbs works for
Vanderbilt and the loan of equipment is
