Each pupil had the choice of representing a wealthy busi- ness man, or a farmer of about that period. The best in each case are be- low. They contributed by Martha Spring, and Erwin Larson. Box 415 Punkinconter, N. Y. Jan. 26, 1790 Dear Si; I ain't heard thy much about this here plan you call a Funding Bill, but I dont want it. I had three 10f these here government bonds and some critter on horseback came out here and bought the whole bunch fer fifty cents. I payed three hundred dollars for them bonds and I thought they were- n't worth anything and when a man came out and offered me fifty cents for three pieces of paper, I thought he was crazy. But I wasn't goin' to argue with him so I sold 1em to him and now I find out he's gettin' six dollars apiece each year fer tem. I am writing this letter fer tall the folks here in town and they say fer you to vote against it 'cause they think it ainit fair fer the people who - bought the bonds from to get the money that should be theirs. The whole town sends greetings. Yours truly, Joshua Hayseed Dear Representatives; I am a well to do East New Yorker and I think that the Funding Bill should be passed because I think that it is the only way that public credit can be sustained. No country could endure unless its people and foreign countries have confidence in its gov- ernment and assurance that it will pay its debts. We are greatly in need of confidence at home and abroad. The soldiers who fought and se- cured for us our independence should be given assurance that our debts to them will be paid. We cannot encourage or stimulate foreign tarde unless foreign countries have confidence in our ability to pay our debts. The exchange of bonds will revive business and put a lot of money in circulation, The people will gain more confidence in their government and more goods will be bought and sold. gold and silver will start to cir- culate among the people, and business Will soon become prOSperous. Therefore I hope you will cast your vote for and not against the Funding Bill. Respectfully yours. Erwin Larson

Barbara re- straining violent internal disturban- ces declared that enough was enough. Luila Welcoe of circus fame created a sensation in bicycle shorts when she thundered out of the baggage ens trance. The learned Professor William Estil Moore Einstein and Bud Sherman the Petroleum Engineer for the Dinky Corporation came out appearing not to notice anyone else since they were deeply engrossed in a mathematical calculation to find the price of lima beans in Lima, Peru. Suddenly the attention shifted as down the steps floated the distinct aroma of a hospi- tal ward. Headed by Doctors Martin Hannum and Virginia Smith came the famous nurses, Catherine iBaby Facel Nelson, Eleanore iGoo Goo Elesl Pierce, Anita tWhat a womanl Malcolmson, and Shirley iSnakey Hipsi Green. Amid the bablings of their eighteen children in came his highness Ho- ward Kucera, and his Queen Mary Ida Knight, of Finland. Mary said she liked married life back in SP. J.H.S.

Fairly floating down the staircase came Rear Admiral Ralph Deems fol- lowed by Donald Broilier, Lloyd Kelly, Paul Bloomquist and Bill Goodloe all midshipmen. Then these members of the navy had their past catch up with them. Down the steps every fiber in their bodies swaying in the tan- talizing rhythm of the hula came Dor- othy Guinn, Violet Gibb, Jean Kil- grove, Marjorie Prucia, and Hilda Round. t t A blast of trumpets, a blare of drums, a blowing of schnozzles and hand springing down the stairs came Walter Archibald Bales, coach of the Tarzan Tumbling Team attired in pink shorts. After him slightly cover- ed with oika dots came the team in cluding Robert Greene, Marshall Ben- net, Paul Kepler, Earl Lingle, Wayne Schooley, and Foster Minear. Zion Bob Yankee Nebechenezar Sultan of Turkey, Hindustan, Under- stani and Magazine Stan, having left his dwelling on a- holl overlooking his vast domain appeared dressed in a turban and the traditional turkish bloomers. He was followed by favor- ite members of his harem of 75, Mar- jorie Norris, Nira Potter, Louise Dougherty, Virginia Bertch. and Sarah Cunningham. All five were sriantilv hovered with those sparkling little nothings. The great French actress Rene' Harris was ushered in with her con- sort Leland Wright. Ambassador Yorgi tEgle Hethlandl Yorgisen of Norway and his wife Mrs. Ruth Wetchel Yorgisen were the next arrivals. The religious strains of Ave Maria filled the room. A pious silence fol- lowed 'in which could be heard the steady tread of feet, Heading the proceSsion of missionaries was Mother Betty Belle Mann. Behind marched Robert Morlan, Evan Smith, Howard Clark, Earl Landon, and Sammy Mad- ley heads bowed in prayer. Other guests were Wayland Small, Bob Stampley, Dudley Brandenburg, Leon Darrah, Lois Lanning, and Bar- bara Mortisen. Her Imperial Higness arose and majestically clapped her hands. Music began, down the steps came Dorothy Amland, Catherine Harring- ton, Patricia Larkin, and Dorothy Myers in a suitable ecstasy of rhythnL bending every supple muscle in their bodies in the glorious snake dance. Vodka flowed freely. Lights glared. Hilarity, youth, and enjoyment of life to its full extent reined throughout. The wine bearers tBill Campbell, Bill Beomont Beggs, Jack Cammack, Jack Morgan, Bud Norton, and Reed Ringstroml ran frantically to and fro. It was a reunion none should for- get.
