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-.

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... Silvery moon that watches me, Watches over land and sea, 'Beautiful shadows you draw on the pine, A path across the sea you shine, As though a ship might travel by A path of light down from the sky. Beautiful moon, oh beautiful moon, Please shine in through my windowe soon e-Jeanne Adams 7B-101 PATRONIZIN G OUR ADVERTISERS HELPS YOU by introducing you to good values, and HELPS US ALL by paying in part for our newspaper LA TORRE Silver Chief M-.7 m. 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. HDick Hucks 7B-109 wO SAILING eleQ-e Oh my Foleby it is sailing! '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! The family wagon goes limit to avoid the dust. Ephraim Crane sits on the front seat, and beside him sit his two small daughters, Brownie and Annie Ephraim's face wears an anxious smile as he looks around at his little caravan. Three covered wag- ons, eighteen cows, sixteen young beef, three men on saddle horses, el- even people in all, not counting the two children. The two girls beam. Why doesnit father start? He is look- ing at the dark caravan behind. It is to be their home for many months. Will they make it? From Illinois to California will be a long and danger- ous trip. They Will meet many un- frierzlly Indians, crosg many mouns taint and miles and miles of perilous desert. Will they ever get to Califor- nia? Will they beat the snows? Many have tried and failed; some have never been heard of again. Read ,lHorses Now and Long Ago and enjoy a good book. This is only one of the many exciting and inter- esting stories it contains. It starts in 1926 with a horse called Dan and tells the life of many famous horses back through caravan days, and so on back to prehistoric times. -Stanley Morse 7B-101 hHmI Silhouettes mgm My hobby is making Scissor cuts of interesting objects-birds, animals, and people. 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.

The big night for Sleeping Beauty! Clad in Grecian costumes, the Glee Clubs pass slowly down the two center aisles, each face illuminated by a single candle, Gradually they form in front, and on either side of the stage. The light from the candles revealing the color of their costumes, which are shaded from a dark blue to a pale green. Suddenly, as with a single motion, the candles are extinguished. The curtain rises upon a royal hall. A trumpeter announces the arrival of the King and Queen who are fol- lowed by their court. After the last of the guests have arrived the nurse enters, an infant in her arms. A winged fairy clad inppink enters and bestows the babe with a. precious gifts of beauty, grace, etc. She has scarcely finished when a cloud passes over them all A witch enters! She. is clothed in 3. long dark robe. A slimy snake is' coiled around her waist. A high peaked hat sets off her hard, ugly face, and long hair, the color of seaweed, flows over her shoulders. The throng is horrified, but their feelings are changed to sorrow when the witch pronounces: This child will be blessed with these gifts. but, when she grows to youthful charm a sn'indle will prick her finger, and she will die! tContinued on Page 5y George 0. Bush January 31, 1935. To the Members of the Mid-year Graduating Class Dear Friends: You are soon to take another big and important step 'in your educa- tional journey. It will be necessary for you to adjust yourselves to new and somewhat strange conditions and situations. Your powers of adaptabil- ity will be tested. Your training and growth during the three years in the Junior High School will be reflected in the manner in which you attack the new problems Which will confront you in the Senior High School. You cannot rely 0n past records for your standing in the Senior High Wheel. You must make a new reputa- tion for 1ndu ltrv faithfiilnes nun - tuality, cooperation, and scholarship. The transition will not be difficult if you will do your full part as I know you are capable of doing. I am tremendously interested in your success and trust thatryour new held of activity will yield both pro- fitable and pleasant returns. Very sincerely, GEORGE C. BUSH Superintendent
