January 16, 1935 - dreyfriars Bobby' g.: HHe was only a little country dog. the very youngest and smallest and shaggiest of skye-terriers. In this fashion the story of Greyfriars Bobby begins. It is the true story of a wee skye-terrier whose life was a symbol fof devotion toward his master, HOld Jock . Many times Old Jock had said, HHe is no mal ain dog, but still Bobby followed him. Old Jock died in a miserable tenement but was al- ways remembered by Bobby. For eight and one half years he slept on his master's grave, through boiling heat and bitter cold. His real owner was found and many times Bobby was sent back to him, but always he es- caped, This and many other exciting adventures of Bobby are told in this book, Greyfriars Bobby , by Atkin- son. I like this book because it is true and proves the saying, A dog is a mans best friend. eJeanne Adams 7B-IOl ease THE MOON ho...

How would you like to be in the Arctic sixty miles from civilization with a broken leg, with a desperate criminal on' your. hands that you were returning to custody, with your dogs dying one by one, and you on the point of exhaustion yourscli? This is the predicament that you would find yourself in if you were Jim Thorne, master of Silver Chief. Silver Chief by OlBrien, is a story of an Alaskan huskie, who was born and rai ed is. the wilderness. O'Brien, the author, went with Byrd on his rrst expedition to the antarctic, and was in charge of the dogs. If you read Silver Chief I am sure you will enjoy it, because it gives a vivid picture not only of the work of a Canadian Northwest Mounted Policeman, but of the life of a brave dog.

'Tis when the channel wind is wailing That I ride my little craft, With my main sail all a-dripp'ing And my little boat a-tipping As I head her for the wind! Boom! a breaker sprays the railing! Many such and weid be bailing, But I take her through the waves; While a joy my heart is gripping, As we ride the waves a-dipping While I tack her white prow to tho gale! -Bill Howard 7B 101 Red 8; White Store 511 Mission St. E, W: SMITH Groceries V egetabies GEORGE ASHBY for Finer Meats Phone HUdson 9245 Page 7 Horses Now And Long Ago m.- They're off!

Instead of drawing them, I like to take my scissors and black paper and cut their silhouettes. I have seen some very interesting children's book illustrated that way. Sometimes when friends come I cut their sil- houettes. -eJune Desmarets 7B-111 ..mt.mwrm Tennis -V.m My whole family is quite interested in tennis. When I was seven years old I started to play. Ever since then I have played every time I have had an opportunity. When the national tennis tourna- ments are being given I listen to them over the radio. I also save newspapw clippings that tell about tennis. I think that tennis is a very health fui and exciting hobby. eMartha Mansfield 7B-11l Q-m m Margaret Bonton: til need glasses.

Page 6 LA TORRE J anuary 16, 1935 Nature + For three years I have been col- lecting all sorts of things to do with nature. I have shells, pressed wild flowers, insects, butteriiies, rocks, and Indian curios. We had a little room that wasn't in use and my mother let me have it for a museum. She gave me some . cabinets and old bookcases to ar- range my things in so that they would be seen easily, The most interesting insect that I have in my collection is a big taran- tula. I was staying up on a desert when I caught him. I went out and hunted all morning until I found him. I put a jar over him and slid a tin under him. I took him home and put Flit in the jar to kill him. I have many :other Spiders but he is the scariest. ' fAnn Stearns 73-101 mea. Guitar + I got interested in playing the guitar for the reason that it can be played solo, duet, trio or in an or- chestra. I found that as I took more lesssons the songs in my music book were getting better and more pleasing to the listener., There is a friend of mine that is also taking guitar and already we have played together at home. We plan to work hard to en- able us to play together at parties for entertainment. eRobert Stert 7B-107 FREMONT PUBLIC , A MARKET Free Delivery 1325 Huntington Drive South Pasadena Pasadena Phone L. A. Phone HU. 1521 BL. 71377 Indian Summer Dream -F The day was quiet. The balmy air which floated through the study hall windows lulled us into a state of semi-oblivion. Outside a bee lazily buzzed his song. Suddenly we were startled by, Mr. Baker! Oh, where is Mr. Baker? Why, isnlt he in his office? we asked. No, he's gone and we think he's been kidnapped, said Shirley run- ning in at the moment with an excited look on her face. uThey would never have gotten very far with me, said Mr. Cooney boast- fully, I would have used that good old right swing of mine, and he demonstrated on Henry who was un- fortunately standing nearest him. The women teachers were already tele- phoning their sympathy to Mrs. Baker. HHe was a special friend of mine, said Mary Ransom with tears in her brown eyes. uI do hOpe they let him go soon. What if they ask f0r ransom? . suggested Milton. uWe shall probably all have to help pay. He uttered his last words with a. tone which did not round as though he would do it will- ingly. HProbably they had a. gun and he couldn't get away. I know I wouldn't try, said Mr. Dale in a frightened tone. I can't bearito think of all the horrible things they might do to him. Mrs. Rydall resembled Felix Cat as she paced up and down the fioor. How they ever got away without someone seeing them, I dontt know, sighed Miss Spellicy. uYou know crooks are .very sly, though, remarked Miss Fischer pro- foundly. Finally, Mr. Douthirt suggested that the men teachers get together to see if something could be done. The women decided on going out to talk it over with poor Mrs. Baker. We were all together forgotten and I can tell you that no studying was done the rest of the time. Brr--ring, Brr-ring, sang the telephone. HWho could it be ? we wondered. HIt might be the kidnappers, some- one said, Finally Mr. Douthirt took down the receiver, HWhatls that you say?!!!, I'Guess what? he asked when he had finished his conversation. That was rs. Baker calling to say that he ir; found. HVihere? everyone asked at the same time. Airplanes a: My hobby is making objects of Wood. I especially like to make solid balsa wood airplanes. So far I have made only six. They are a Fokker triplane, a Spad, a Ncuiport, a S.E.5 Biplane, a J enny, and an Akron fight- er. The Akron fighter is a plane which is carried by a dirigible. The rest ate war time planes of different countries. First, before I can make an air- plane I must have a plan of the plane. Then I take a square piece of balm wood, cut, and sand 'it to the right shape. After I have done that, I cut out the cockpit and put in a little joystick and a piece of paper with little circles on it for the dash board. I also put in a little seat. I make the top and bottom wing and the rudder, and the elevator. Sometimes I make a mistake and put some piece on wrong; and have tto take it off and put it on right. I put a coat of shellac on, and two coats of paint. The airplane is then finished. I got interested in making a'irplane'; at the Orange Grove playground. I like to make airplanes to pass the time away, and for their looks, arr. J think they are attractive. eJohn Dollen 7B 1m 6 Glacier National Park a.. Glacier Park is in Montana and lies between Shelby, Columbia Falls, and Belton. Going from Portland to Spo- kane we followed up the Columbia River. At Belton we took the bus to Lake MacDonald which is a glacier fed lake. The mountains rise from every side of the lake and are covered with timber. There is a great variety of animal life. Many deer, bea '. squirrels, beavers, porcupine, ax d other small animals. A little way up around the lake we found some beaver chips and a tree on its side. The beaver had felled the tree so it would fall across a small stream to help his home. They live right in the water and are very rarely seen. eBetty Arnold 8B-116 .waa He was discovered comfortably Itaking a snooze in his own back yard under the umbrella tree.

Charlie Paddock, weh known track star in the past decade, bays uHe runs -any distance from 50 yards to 5 miles exceedingly well. Reland has tried every imaginable yardage against the stop watch with excellent results for a 16 year old boy, He stands 5 fiaet 3 ihches and weighs 110 pounds. Suenaga, besides displaying ability as a ru'nner, has done well in the high, and broad jump. He hopes to make good in the high school competition and perhaps also in college. He intends to enter California In- stitute of Technology to study mech- anical engineering. His 'spOrts ambi- tion may be- realized as not many good athletes enter Caltech. His hobby is mechanical work of all'kinds and he seems to have a re- markable ability along these lines. To Suenaga, Franklin D. Roosevelt is the greatest living American. -w$. h-.. A-.
