"Throw Another Log on the Fire" was the theme song at the Boy Seoul,
camp-out Saturday and Sunday at Saline Valley Farms and the voices of Nature,
if any, were drowned out by the sound of chattering teeth. In all fairness to the
Scouts, however, it must fee noted that they stayed for two days, despite blizzards
and below-freezing temperatures . . . while the photographer stuck it out only
for an hour. Determined but chilly members of the Eagle patrol, above, are Dave
Hatfield (left), Mike Schuette (seated), Barry Fritts (behind Mike), and Robert
Hatfield.
Almost hungry enough to eat the foil, members of the Bat patrol retrieved
their dinners from the flames and prepared to dig in: Dennis Martin, Keith Martin, Bill Hanselman, and Dennis Bishop.
More photos of the Scouts' chilly weekend will be found elsewhere in this issue.

At the annual meeting, the

they felt that an earlier facilities study had under-emphasized the importance of the agricultural  program  here.

Phillips, representatives of the
Board.
