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.

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.

"You are deluded."
"The reason I remember it so well is that -- "
"You lie."
"He played one of his l favorite funny, funny jokes on me. Which was to arrange a meeting and then totally stand me up. Which was super super funny. And then he would completely deny it. The first time he ever did this was in 1979. In Harvard Square."
