Troops 16 and 18 met together
Tuesday, Dec. 16, at the Methodist
Church Annex for our Christmas
party. After delicious refreshments
of hot chocolate, Christmas cookies
and homemade fruit cake, we had
our presents given out. The pres-
ents were piled around a gum drop
Christmas tree made by Mrs. John-
son. Ina Jean Morgan of Troop 18
and Barbara Gresham of Troop 16
gave out the gifts. Each Scout was
pleased with the gift given her by
the person who drew her name
several weeks ago. We then went
down town and sang some of our
favorite Christmas carols to the
late afternoon shoppers and the
people who came after their mail.
Anyone who likes to sing Christ-
