SQUARE DEAL 5 EXPLORING I'd love to go exploring far, Beyond familiar landsg Go traveling on camel back Across the desert sands. I'd love to visit Africa And see the jungles dense, And catch a great big crocodile That hadn't any sense. I'd watch some chanting native priest, From way upnin a tree, And view their sacred dances there- They never would see me. Then I'd explore a hidden cave, Inside some secret nook, And find a great big treasure box, Like in a story book. I'd love to go to frozen lands And see an Eskimo, And ride on dog-sled at great speed Through the ice and snow. But, after all, it's probable, These lands I'll never see, And my exploring will be done In my geography. -Betty Sclzollcnfbcrger, 'YBLL SEVENTH TO NINTH WITH ALICE Beginning at the seventh I had appointments with both Alice and Ben. Traveling back and forth was loads of fun, but staying with Alice has been more enjoying. Dur- ing the eighth grade I was very excited about going to the ninth for the typing and bookkeeping, but now I am thinking of my future school and its new subjects. I have been a Red Cross representative and enjoyed the work very much. Now for my favorite sports. Baseball takes the lead. I have always loved baseball and just about go crazy when a game is broadcast over the radio. Next is the hit-pin baseball. That is just about all we were allowed to play in the eighth Zllltl early ninth. I have enjoyed my time with Alice and just hate to leave lier.-Frances Lux, 9136. TRAVELIN6 A marked restlessness in my friends and me during the Easter holidays always heralds the approach of summer. During the holidays, johnny brought out his old Hivver which was stripped of running board, fenders, and top and painted crimson. Then jack, George, Bill, and I decided on a trip to Florida. Ive immediately began packing and saving our money in preparation for a hilarious vacation. On -Inne twentieth, we started out equipped with a trusty piece of an old tent to put over our heads in case it rained. All during the trip we had lots of fnin at the roadside cireuses, amusement parks, roadhouses, and barbecues. At all these places one of the fellows, usually acquired a sign or something for a souvenir and pasted it on the side of the car. Upon arriving in Miami, our destination, we all dived into our swimming suits for a plunge in the inviting, warm waters of the Atlantic. After we had tired of this, Bill climbed in and out of the trees like an ape, while Jack, George, and I began searching for coconnts and fruits. Soon our vacation neared its end, so we all piled wearily i11to the Ford and started homeward.-Bob G1'1'j7it11., 9132. BRIEF GLORY A rose appears upon a branch, So fragile and serene, And with its air of hauteur, It appears just like a queen. Above the weeds it seems to reign, An empress over all, Alas, its rule is all too brief, It soon beigns to fall. For now, the petals are all frayed, They lie among the weeds, Which just live in the same old way, NVhite now, the rose impedes. The weeds still liveg the rose is dead, And lies now, on the ground, Yet a memory it has left to me, A queen with a golden crown. -Mary Jmzc' IfVhitc, 9132.

Can you see a human tale of ecstasy or woe? There are many if uncovered by the prying eyes above, Tales of heartbreak, worry, mischief, a11d, above all, tales of love. In the clashing sound of lIO1'l1S a11d brakes the traffic stops and wheels, But over all the clamor thcre's a pall each watcher feels, 'l'here's a mingling of desperation, apprehension, doubt and fear, But emotions all are different, each inside its bounded sphere. -George Rvylloildx, SBS. A TREE I am an oak tree large Zllltl broad, As people pass along the road, I give them shade Zllld watch their load, On countryside. IV hen men are having sport and games, The people sit along my limbs, And all the children praise who wins, On countryside. A heavy man once sat in me, And said, I came the games to sce.', But then he sat and talked to me, On countryside. -Vidar Hobbs. EDISON In my opinion, Thomas Alva Edison did more to ad- vance the progress of the United States during his eighty- four years than any other American. His twenty-tive hun- dred patents in the Patent Office show this. He perfected scores of devices for warships and destructive instruments to help the navy during the World War. Beginning with a chemical set at ten years of age and ending with a large laboratory and scores of assistants at Orange, New Jer- sey, he shows how strong his perseverance was. VVhenever I see a candy wrapper of wax paper, an airplane camou- Iiaged with smoke, or look at a telegraph instrument and note the number of contrivances new in the last Fifty years, .l think of Edisoifs great inventive genius. 1 have taken him as my model. Vtihenever I get dis- couraged experimenting with lenses, gravitation, electricity or other branches of physics, I remember, as an inspira- tion, the perseverance of Thomas Alva EKHSOII.-Cl1lll'l!?5 Rodgers, 9A4. CRAZY PEOPLE School days, school days, Silly girls and fools' days l l have been laughing so hard all day that my sister has decided to give me a padded cell, But I have a reason for laughing. It just struck me today how funny we Alice Dealers are. There is the girl who is always worry- ing about her looks, powdering her nose and putting on lipstick during classes. Then there is the person who always forgets to do his homework and has a hard time borrowing someone else's or thinking up an excuse. VVe all sympathize with the poetic looking boy whose thoughts at spring always turn to those of love. VVe wonder at the girl who always buys a bag of potato-chips and a ehoc-cow every day for lunch. Theres the boy who always brings up baseball, even when the history teacher is explaining an assignment and some of us are made furi- ous by a boy who is conceited because the girls think he is handsome. Sometimes a lazy fellow goes to sleep, only to iind at the end of the period that he doesn't know the homework or the boy in back of him has tied him to his rhair. But the traflic oliicer who tells me 110t to whistle in the halls and then skips steps to his favorite tune makes me maddest. All right, give me a padded cell, but I still think I have plenty to laugh at !--Annu H orn, 9A4.
