Centerville's Cub Scout Pack No. 54 held its monthly meeting in the vestry of South Congregational Church Saturday evening, March 27. Cub Scout William Souweine led in the flag ceremony and Cub Scout promise, opening the session. Under the theme South of the Border, Mrs. Edwin Gourley, den mother, showed colored slides of Mexico and exhibited several of the Uourley family's Mexican treasures including blankets from various sections, a child's toreador, outfit and Mexican pottery.
Pinatas made by den mothers Jane Anne Gonzalez and Mrs. Gourley had been filled with candy made by boys of the several dens.
Boys of Den 4 (led by Mrs. Harry Johnson and Mrs. Gerald Hurd) marched around the pinatas singing This Little Cubbing Light and boys of various dens were blindfolded and each given two opportunities to break the yinatas with sticks.
The feats accomplished resulted in furious scrambles for candy by the Scouts.
Cub Master Louis Jacobucci led in community singing.
