BROWNIE NEWS On December loin Troop 450 had a Christmas Party at Paula Poorman’s. We had a wiener roast. Then we sang Happy Birthday to Becky Sutherlin and Karen Troth and had a birthday cake. We played a game then we gave gifts, to the leaders. After that we sang Christmas carols and each of us got an angel made out of pipe cleaners. We want to say thanks to the mothers of the girls in patrol three for planning the party. We went to hear the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra which presented a Concert for the Girl Scouts. We took two troops as our guests. When the concert was over we all went to the English Foundation Building where we had cookies and punch. We sang songs, talked about things we had done and got cookies with decorations on them to hang on our Christmas Trees. Then we had a candle ceremony. Thanks to the mothers who drove us to the concert. . , We sent cards and candy houses to a blind troop. We want to thank the Speedway Girl Scouts for giving their old uniforms.

Troop 557. Secrets and many extra busy sessions complete with paint brush and paint clothes at the patrol leaders’ homes marked the early weeks of December. Christmas Day revealed what our girls were so proud to give this year for the mothers received huge enamelled black trays with a decal which were made from metal packing barrel tops. The fathers received pocket emptier trays made from tuna fish cans and looking like a dress collar and tie. The girls were entertained after all this hard work at a beautiful Christmas party in the rumpus room of Mrs. Bruce Sherman. Holiday decorations, yummy refreshments with -separate tables for girls and leaders, also carolling were so much enjoyed. The girls gifted their leaders with imported ceramic cooky trays. Many thanks to the leaders for hours of work on attractive and useful Christmas gifts and the troop commitee under the leadership of Mrs. Jerry Tomlinson for a lovely party. December 23 twelve girls attended the Christmas concert of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra which honored Hoosier Capital Council Girl Scouts and enjoyed the music selected for their listening pleasure. Card of Thanks We would like to thank our friends in Speedway for their prayers and thoughtfulness during Jim’s stay at the hospital. The flowers, plants and cards from school and church friends and neighbors helped more than words can say. Orian, Vivian and __ Jim Gabert
