Manchester school lighting aid to be recommended

Dr. Rupert Spencer, chief of special services for the state Department of Education, will recommend state aid for renovations to Manchester Elementary School’s lighting system. The local board authorized Griffin Electric Co. to start work with a projected cost of 12,267 dollars and expects completion by September. The aid would cover costs beyond the 10,000 dollars raised at town meeting, with straight state aid potentially 3,000 dollars. The board met Tuesday and Kayatta stated the recommendation would justify aid due to student benefits.

Norfolk Council Scouts Enjoy Sunrise Camp Program Highlights

Fran Stacy of Farnham Whittier formerly led Arlington and Shaftsbury schools in the early 1900s and toured rural schools. Allan Sands earned the G Bar at Camp Sunrise while leading the Order of the Arrow tap-out team. Ricky Harrington earned two merit badges canoeing and swimming and was tapped for OA membership. Troops 331 and 108 shared a site as 108 lacked a leader. The week featured many merit badge classes, first aid films, fitness contests, a water carnival, campfire, skits and songs. A New Jersey troop en route to Canada spent a night nearby trading patches and neckerchiefs. Participants included Lynn Bunk, George Sandquist, John Paddock, and others, with Robert Fletcher and Henry Freely assisting.
