16 ALICE DEAL JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL to Europe and Spain, and still he had not found any dia- monds. One day Ali I-Iofed was standing on the Bay of Barcelona. He was very disgusted and decided that the sea would end his troubles very quickly. A short time later the farmer who had bought Ali Hofed's farm was watering his camel. He noticed some- thing shining in the water. He picked it up, thinking that it was just a pretty stone, took it into the house and put it on the mantel. XV hen the old priest was passing one day, he decided to stop. As he reached the door, the lirst thing he noticed was the stone shining on the mantel, and he asked if Ali llofed had returned. The farmer replied, No, The priest said, W'eIl, there is a real diamond on the mantelf' But the farmer laughed and said it was just a pretty stone. The priest took the farmer out in the yard and they dug up many more precious stones. If Ali Hofed had looked in his own back yard instead of going so far away, he would have found acres of dia- 1'l1O1lClSn.-JFIIIIIIIC E'UlIIIJ . SB5. THE SENTINEL No one ever thinks of me, Or all the dilterent things I see, People wreathed in happy smilesg Or people low in sorrow's wilds. To honest ones l give help. Dishonest ones my powers felt. The latter fear with great dread, My ease to guard the streets, 'tis said. VV hen the sun has gone to rest, The insects play about my crest, Till morn comes and drives them back, To every tiny hole and crack. Then I go to sleep till when, The night shall come and go again Then I'Il make the darkness, brightg I'm just a lonely old street light. -Howard Hatter, 9133.

Tom Brown was a small boy about ten years of age, who had very strict parents. His mother and father were always careful to see that he had plenty of sleep. In the evenings, when he was told to go to bed, he would sit in his room and gaze out of his window, wishing he could be out doors playing. Tom was very ambitious, and best of all he loved the outdoor life. Some of his friends had started to sell newspapers. Isle asked his mother if he might do so too. After a lot of urging she linally consented. Tom's paper had to be delivered at six in the morning. Having to get up at six, he was glad to go to bed early. Tom delivered newspapers until he was eighteen, then the company gave him a job in its ollice. He had such line health and ambition that he was soon promoted to a better position. At the age of thirty he owned a newspaper of his own. He retired at the age of forty-live. His friends always spoke of him as the wealthy, wise inan.-Jllury Slzirw, SB6. R. HARRIS 8: CO.

ENGLISH STUDENTS ln the morning when I choose my clothes to wear to school, I am glad l don't have to wear uniforms as the English children do. On our trip to London I was in- terested in the uniforms of the student at the private schools. At one boys' school, Eton, the boys wear high silk hats and swallow tail coats. At another school, the boys wear straw hats and brown and white striped flan- nel coats. At a girls' school in Brighton we noticed a simple uniform of a dark blue or black dress and a simple felt hat. I am glad that I don't have to wear uniforms to school as the English children do.-Edith Davis, '2'B5. when all of a sudden she decided that she wanted some- one to get the book from the library. She had to have someone very interesting to tell about the book so she chose Frances. The subject was then dropped until the following Thursday. On that day the teacher called on Frances to give the report. She told about the book and when she had finished the teacher said, Frances, that was excellent. Frances said, hlllll glad it turned out all right, but let me tell you about the foolish thing I did. On Saturday I went down to the library and spent half of the morning looking for the book but it was out. Monday when I came back to school I was passing by our library upstairs and I decided it might be in there. I went in and sure enough it was on the shelf. The teacher answered, NVell, you certainly did have a hard time. Frances replied, You know, Mrs. Myers, I think your best opportunities are always at hoinef'--Lillian IfI -iIkc1'- Jon, SBI. THE STORY Oli ALI HOFED Ali I-Iofed was an ancient Persian farmer who lived near the Indus River. Ile was a very happy rich man who was rich because he was contented and contented because he was rich. He ow11ed a big farm with orchards, grain fields, and beautiful gardens. One day a Buddhist priest came to see Ali Hofed and told strange stories of beautiful diamonds which made Ali very discontented. VVhen he went to bed that night he did not sleep because of wondering where he could find those precious jewels. The next morning he asked the old priest where to get the information. The priest told him to look for water that ran over white sand which was between two mountains, so Ali Hofed sold his farm and left his family with his neighbors. He started his long journey by going to Palestine, then

SQUARE DEAL iv GIRLS CAN BE HEROES There is a well known legend of how a little boy saved Holland, by sticking his finger in a leak in the dyke. But not everyone has heard of the story about a little girl who saved Holland, too. Iiatrinka Pirre lived in I-Iolland, a land of dykes and canals. Her little orange home stood on the outskirts of Amsterdam. VVhen Katrinka was ten years old, France started her long war with Holland. A Amsterdam was on the seacoast, but it was not on very fertile land. in the opinion of the French. So France de- cided to build a huge dyke across the middle of Holland, and then break the barrier on the seacoast and flood the land up to the big dyke. Under cover of a barrage of shells the French soldiers managed to raise the dyke. One day liatrinka and her playmates Went to pick flow- ers, for their mothers, on a hill near Amsterdam. As they were merrily gathering huge bouquets of flowers, they were startled by the sound of marching feet. The other children ran away but Katrinka, frightened as she was, stayed. On marched the soldiers right up to the dyke. Then Iiatrinka understood. They were going to break down the dyke! As fast as she could, she ran to the city to warn the men of danger. Quickly an army was gathered together, and out they marched to prevent the falling of the dyke. The French was taken by surprise and were soon over- powered. The long war was ended, and again a little child had saved il'I0ll2lllCl.-ffllll Larrimer, SBI. THE ALLIGATOR THAT CHANGED ITS SPOTS My father was going through the Panama Canal. The ship was to be in Panama for several days. Some friends asked my father to go hunting with them the next day. The following morning they left and in the evening they returned with many trophiesg one was an alligator. They kept it on board till they returned to San Diego when they sent it to the zoo where the keeper put it in a pool with the other alligators of the zoo. The next morning the keeper found all his alligators dead and discovered that the Panama alligator was a crocodile.-Mary Louise Gil- lette, 7136. THE MORRO CASTLE DISASTER VVhile on vacation i11 Asbury Park one Saturday night, last summer, I heard a boat whistle blowing as though a ship were in distress. The family and I thought the whistle was blowing to avoid an accident at sea. We went to sleep not knowing a ship was on fire. Early the next morning we saw people rushing down to the beach. Every- one dressed hurriedly, went down to the shore and saw great clouds of smoke coming from a burning boat, which we found was the Morro Castle. Everyone was rushing madly to this scene. Men were fixing a small cable to carry men to and from the boat. There were newspaper men shouting and screaming exciting headlines all about the disaster. Life boats were constantly coming in at shore with many survivors in them. A woman was swimming with a child clinging to her back for many miles until she reached the beach. After our dinner we hastened back to the scene. A newspaper man informed us that many people lost their lives. Asbury Park, which was usually a quiet summer resort, was then a hubbub of wild and exciting noise.- Edna B l'Cl-1'flI'ZUllIif 0, SAI. MONTANA MOSQUITOES Malta, Montana! VVill I ever forget that town? Last summer on our Western motor tour we stopped there over- night. Malta consisted of three churches, one movie house, two drug stores and two hotels which were really just rooming houses. The temperature registered 105 degrees and the mosquitoes were plying their trade vigorously. After dinner we decided to take a walk. Along the streets we would see people slapping each other, trying to kill the pests. NVe finally gave up the struggle and decided to retire. I had the largest number of bites, sixty to be exact. Mother was worried because she was afraid I would develop malaria, so Dad looked for a drug store to buy rubbing alcohol. It was Sunday and the drug stores were closed. Dad then searched the car and found some iodine, with which he painted me. I looked as if I had a serious case of chicken pox. The night was spent listening to a heavy thunder storm, but mostly in scratch- If I ever go there again it will be by accident, and mos- quito netting will certainly be an important article in our supplies.-M'm'cia Swofie, 9135.
