3.2 yi WITH THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR approaching, Scout troops will be holding their court of their scouting year. Last week, Junior Girl Scout Troop 633 Shaver- town, hosted their: parents at a lovely court of awards ceremony at. St. ‘Paul’s Lutheran Church. The girls presented a short skit on what Girl Scouting means to them followed by a lovely tea. Many thanks to Mrs. Karen Adams and her assistant leader Linda for giving the girls a wonderful, fun- filled year. Many people don’t realize the time and effort leaders must put in to make a troop year interesting and exciting. Special thanks to all scout leaders for their hard work and concern for young people. GATE OF HEAVEN SCHOOL CAFETERIA is operated by a won- derful staff of three women, Bar- bara Hagen, Betty Dowd and Carol Yatsko. As anyone who volunters in the cafeteria knows, they are very appreciative of any time given. Recently to show their apprecia- tion for all the volunteers, the cafet- eria staff treated us to a gourmet luncheon, Turkey Wellington, green beans almondine, sweet potatoes, tossed salad, strawberry cake, blue- berry pie, and lemon squares. The food was absolutely delicious. So, a special thank you to the cafeteria staff, Sister Davida and Father Cusick for a marvelous luncheon. -0- BEST WISHES TO MARK KUNKLE, former Kingston Town- ship Manager who has assumed | duties in Centre County, near State | College Borough.
