Suddenly a wind came up and blew the tree over or. her mother. Little Audrey just laughed and laughed because she knew her mother couldnlt Carioca. One day little Audrey and her mother and father went to: a walk in the woods. Suddenly some cannibals appeared and Little Audrey climbed a. tree, but her mother and father were captured and Little Audrey just laughed and laughed because she knew there wouldnlt be enough pieces to go around. h One day little Audrey's mother told her to go for a tramp in the woods, and little Audrey just laughed and laughed because she knew there was- n't any tramp in those woods. One day Little Audrey went to see the lady who lived next door. The lady asked her how her bouncing baby brother was. IJittle Audrey ran home and got her baby brother and took him out on the cement sidewalk, and dropped him.

Out of the oven, crash! -down to the floor, There to rest for evermore. Poor heart-broken housewife was sorely tried, So down she sat and cried and cried. Oh! what to do? Oh! what to say? Why, make another pie some day. Alex FrasereBA + POSTMAN Some postmen sit inside all day, Giving lovely things away, Packages and bundles tied, With the best of things inside, And letters, too, all clean and white. They hand to you with great o'i'e'ht. They like to sit there all the ' And give the pleasant things xymty. But other postmen walk outside, Along the city far and wide, They take the bundles that they give. And letters, too, out where you live They do not mind to walk at all, They are so strong and glad and tall. . Such pleasant things some people do, They must be happy all dav thmuehl Nenita Dumoa7 B May 24, 13133 Enclosed Clearing Creeping jungle looking vines cov- ered the clearing on all sides. Blue kept trying to show its face through the thick heavy vines. When the fiery sun arose it did not lighten the closed clearing but made the blue bell car- pet dance with joy. The dew sparkled as if it were giving the vines and blue bell a bath. Then a jungle bird would screech trying to scare the little deer who made their home in the enclosed clearing. They liked that place be- cause the seen would not keep the sun would not keep them awake. When the deer lay down the blue bells would lie down as if to lay their heads down for the deer to Sleep up- on. No one could ever attack the deer, for on the outside there were leaves on the ground. They were last years. This yearls blanket was just begin- ning to fall and all the leaves were held in suspense, wondering who would go first and when it would be time to go. If anybody tried to get in their enclosed clearing the deer could hear the dry leaves crackle. When the slightest breeze would come the Whole forest was in time with the trees, swaying back and forth, back and forth. eJean McMillan OPERATIONS We had so many operations Iive saved the doctors their occupa- tions.
