Metropolitan Boy Scouts Win.
Description
“A joint Fourth of July celebration was held by the Community Center of Burville, D.C., last Monday at the school. Basketball, baseball, and tennis and speaking furnished parts of the program. One of the chief features was a competitive drill between the Colored Boy Scouts of the District. This proved to be very interesting and drew forth hearty applause from the spectators. After a very meritorious display the prize was awarded to Troop 512 of Metropolitan A.M.E. Church.
The officers of the winning troop are: Samuel Z. C. Westerfield, Scoutmaster; Milton Larry, Acting Senior Patrol Leader; Rev. C. M. Tanner, Pastor. The members of the troop are Scouts Elmer Johnson, Raymond Butler, James Ford, Leonard Pee, James Hamilton, Joseph Johnson, Robert Smith, Alfred Scott, Milton Brackett, Leon Hatton, Wm. Harris, Arthur Morgan, Earl Gant, and Arthur Williams. This is one of the most promising troops in the District and constantly increasing in numbers and tactics.”
