The other Cub Scouts were, left to right: Tommy Thompson, Jerry Lerum and Benny Gallagher. The dinner was to be held at the Dash Point Dock on Saturday July 23rd. The program began at 2 pm with contests in swimming, diving and greased pole walking. At 9 pm a dance was held at the Dash Point Community Hall, with music provided by the Walter Rostedt Orchestra. The boys were on the staff of the Crestview Cub Reporter, which was published twice a month by Troop 72. (T.Times 7/21/1938, p. 3).
