Show World Friendship Day (Thinking Day to the older Scouts) program at HMK school was well attended and a little different than past years. The flag ceremony was most colorful with 8 different countries represented by flags of the country made by the girls. France, South Africa, Af-rica, Greece, Israel, Norway, Japan, Taiwan and Mexico were chosen for study and the girls learned games and songs and customs from these lands. Ivy Thompson's Junior troop played a game from Japan, Pam Wylie's Brownies performed the Mexican Hat Dance and Darlene Nelson's Brownies sang "Alouette," a French song. Debbie Nicol's Brownies played a Greek Olympic ball game and Robin Cronk's Juniors sang a song from Taiwan led by Helen Trantor playing an auto harp and the girls using rhythm instruments. instru-ments. The Junior girls in Merrie Gordon's troop performed per-formed the Mexican Hat Dance with a blindfolded girl in the center trying to break a pinata.
