BARBARA YOUNG-Entered Deal in 9B. Around the World in the Twenty-third Century I have just returned from an all-day visit around the world. We left in my fly-moible at eight in the morning and reached London at nine. It would have been foggy except that the fog clearer kept the day lovely. We stopped and saw a few things of interest, such as the tomb of King Edward VII and the Windsor Castle. Wie got into such heavy traflic flying over London that we went on to Paris. We reached it in Hfteen minutes. Not stopping because we had planned to have lunch in Japan, we started on. We flew over some very old cities: Cairo, Constantinople, Bombay, and Hong-Kong. We reached Peking at eleven-thirty. After having lunch there, we started home. After about five minutes of traveling, we looked down on what was once Japan. There had been a great explosion and the islands went under water. We continued the trip, in due time reaching San Francisco in two and a half hours, and home by five o'clock. Marion Peoples, SB2. Hulda She was an odd mixture of comfortable homeliness and the strictest etiquette. She came to us from the service of Lady Humphries and we strongly suspected that the latter part of her character was acquired in serving that English noblewoman. She was a perfect housekeeper, vigorously polishing and scrubbing until the whole house shone. No longer was our father allowed to smoke in front of the fire in a dressing robe but was found to squeeze into an old and long forgotten smoking jacket. We were virtually Hulda's slaves and we liked it. Tea must be served every after- noon at four whether there was anyone there to drink it or not. Wine was served with dinner and liqueur after. My elders drank or suffered the looks of utter disapproval and disdain on Hulda,s broad face. One day, Lady Humphries returned. Our household once more slumped to a lowly level. Mary Goddard, 9AS.

SQUARE DEAL ALICE DEAL JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL 15 Mysterious Island My father and I were once on a Hshing trip in north- western Maine at a large lake about twenty miles long. It has a great many islands. While on our ishing trip we stopped on one of them to eat lunch. As the guide was cooking lunch, my father and I decided to explore. At one time an old man had lived on the island. We found an old car with brass trimmings. There were seven laboratories, three houses, two boat sheds, an ice house, two underground passage ways, and an old sea wall. Every winter the old man would drive across the lake for supplies for winter and summer. The tunnels led from his houses to the laboratories which he used for experiments. He had one house in which he lived in winter, one in which he lived in summer, and another in which he kept his instruments. Lying around were broken bottles and flasks. One day, while coming across the ice he hit a thin spot, and, lucky for him, a sand bar, for otherwise he would have lost his car and drowned. He lived alone on the island and finally died in happiness because some kin had left him some money. We then came back to where the guide had just finished cooking the lunch which consisted of French- fried potatoes, steak, and cocoa. On our way home the man we were with caught a land lock salmon, and I caught two red speckled trout which we had the next day. Bill Hollenbeck, SA3. Mosquitoes The mosquito is a pesk-y thing- He goes around as though he's king, Buzzing here and buzzing there Until he makes us mildly swear. First we clap And then we slap But all we do Is not a clue On how to catch mosquitoes. Robert Hendon, 8A6. Indians Some of my Irish-Scotch ancestors settled in Penn- sylvania while it was wild Indian country. During that time they lived in a state of constant preparedness. One day while the men were away from the house clearing a piece of land for a farm, my great, great, great grandmother heard a sound like that made by a turkey gobbler. She ran quickly to the rack of muskets over the large open Hreplace and cautiously peered out the open window, musket in hand. In a few moments the Indian who was making the sound appeared at one side of the house. She shot him through the neck and quickly reloaded the gun. The men, hearing the shot, hurried home from the field. ,When the Indians found themselves discovered, they retreated and did not return. james S-utzfon Hardigg, 9A4. - Understanding the Poor Mr. Lincoln came from a very poor family so he could easily understand the poor. One day he was visiting a little country school. Most of the children were well off, but there was one little boy whose mother was so poor that she had to work as a scrub woman. One day the school teacher told the children to be sure to black their boots because they were going to have a very distinguished visitor. John, the little boy, could not afford to buy the polish to shine his boots. He had to use soot from the stove in his home. XVhen he went to school the next day, all the little boys ridiculed him to the point where he started crying, but tried to hide his tears. Mr. Lincoln, the distinguished visitor, noticed the little boy's predicament but did not say anything. After he went away, Mr. Lincoln was not heard of for a long time, but the next time John saw him, Mr. Lincoln asked him if he would like to go shopping with him. Of course John was very glad to go, so he and Mr. Lincoln went shopping. The next time ,Iohn went to school he was the best dressed boy there because of the kindness of Abraham Lincoln. Mable Robinson, 9A1.
