Vanderlip Armistice Day -ono-oe- Armistice Daye comes and goes,.but some of us fail to think of the real meaning of it to those who sufferedin the midst ofithe battle in France, and to those who waited anxiously at home for dear Ones to return. Long days the soldiers fought in the muck and mire. of the battlefield, rushing over dead bodies of their Comrades, but stilliighting: They were tired, very tired, but who of them would quit fighting for the cause as he saw it. And then on the - 11th of November, 1918 the fighting ceased. Imagine the j 0y of the soldiers who for month after month, had been praying fervently for it all to end. And then, later, when the boys werereceived back home with shouts and-cheers, many'mothers who had seen their sons leave for war were denied the joyof a happy reunion. So, When Armistice Day comes With all its pomp and flag wa-V- ing remember not only the football game you are to see, but con- sider the deeper meaning of Armistice Day. e f i O-'-O'.-TO Are You a Barnacle? -O-0-om Have you ever seen a barnacle?

King of the I-Iillsp-Meader Breck Townsend was speeding a- long in his smart black roadster. He was rejoicing as he thought about the other fellows rushing off to school, while he was speeding farther and farther away from Boston to Spend a fortnight in the woods, He did not know that instead of just tracking the king of deer , Scar Back , to take his picture, that he would have quite an adventure and a bit of trouble. Cam MeArdle, the warden's son, was his pal during his exCiting experience. The book I have just told you ae bout is xKing of the Hills , by Mea- der. Other books by the same author ' are The Black Buccaneer, Down the Big Rivertt, ,tLongshanks , ttAway to Sea , and uRed Horse Hill . I liked the book because it kept my interest up all the time.

' It was on a windy night, in August that we decided to go sailing: So when all was in madness we hopped into the gig and went out to the main boat, a snowebird 12 feet long. Putting up the sail We started out. The owner of theeboat, a good sailor, - was at the wheel. Nine otclock, All was well, except we had no light and the ocean was very calm. Oh well, we should worry! Nine-fifteen. A stiff breeze coming up on the port side of the boat. Tighten sheet rope! Ninc-thirty. A boat passing on the starboard, uMiss California , a. fish- ing barge. Seats getting rough out by number 6. Come about! Watch out for the boom! By a quarter of ten it was all the captain could do to keep the sheet rope from getting loose, All possible weight was put on the starboard side, fOr We were shipping water. Now the bottom of the boat inside was being washed by 2 inches of it Caution! Bad storm at sea! Ail hands on deck bring down the sail. Konk! the sail was down and. the boom had hit someone's head. Here it was ten and we were going full speed, west, with the tide up the bay. The water was very Cheppy. While we were spedily drifting along, the cap- tain grabbed a. buoy we were passing. Ten-ififteen, Our parents were pac- ing the walks along the water front trying to hail us who were in the middle of the bay. A wet sail. 5 blan- kets... and 6 frozen howling kids. Fin- ally, it was deemed someone should play hero, swim to shore, get the gig, and come rescue us drowning rats. Strangely enough no one vol- unteered. After a while We began kindly volunteering for one another. All this time the captain was busily trying to hiteh-hike his way to shore. Ten-thirty. A boat was spied carryv ing two seamen, tI suppose one might call them thatJ Up came a trim little craft, none other than a rowboat. Well. better than none. Going- our way? Sure. So our captain was dropped off at the nearest pier. He immediately drove the gig out with the power of two oars. Rescued at last! When we arrived home at a quarter of eleven our parents started in on us. Theirs was a bewildering story of anxious waiting: Then standing there in our sea soaked clothes, we told our thrilling tale. The next morning the sea-worthy snow-bird was returned to her dock with no remaining evidence of the pleasant trip of the evening be- fore. -Alice Conner October'31, 1934 Beak Week Contest Questions wee tContest instruction on page D 1.
