18 ALICE DEAL JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL SQUARE DEAL A Locker Talks On the top steps as twilight softened the halls of Deal, locker 257 sat waiting for friends. All lockers on the second floor were to meet in the gymnasium to talk about their pleasures and sorrows. One locker said to some others, I am kept nicely and I am not kicked by my owner. He throws no trash in me, he breaks none of my structure, and I hope he still will keep his temper and keep the floor around me clean and tidy. I hear there is to be a war, and the lockers are going to war on the pupils who kick and hit them. I hope they will stop it because they will have no place to keep their books. The boys and girls will have to keep their books by themselves and will have to carry them to all classes. Then they will be so tired of doing that they will be sorry that they kicked us. Bell Allison, 8A1. Adventures at Alice Deal I was not at school the first semester because of illness. When I did come back I went with another girl who by that time had learned her way around the building. One time when that girl was not at school, I went by myself and got all mixed up because I couldn't Rnd the lunch room. I went down the wrong stairs. At last, however, after ten minutes of running around to wrong stairways, I found the right one. The first day I 'did not like the school as I was homesick for my old school. The week following, I learned my way around and got to know all my teachers. Then I liked the school much better. Zona A p pelbaum, 7A3. PIERRE R. HARRIS 6. CO. HAmDRr-zsssn IEWELERS Inc.

SQUARE DEAL ALICE DEAL JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL 17 A Mexican Donkey Boy One hot summer day a Mexican boy was to be seen slowly jogging along on the bare back of a gray and white donkey. His face was bright red with the heat, and his broad sombrero wasipushed far back on his head. He had dropped the reins and was so slumped on the back of the donkey that, at a first glance, anybody would have thought him asleep. Finally, Pedro raised his head and gazed sleepily in front of him. He saw a clump of trees, and slowly pick-ing up his reins, he clucked to his donkey. The animal, whose name was Tortilla, started into a trot and they soon reached the shade. Pedro dismounted and took, his lunch out of his hat. He promptly gobbled his tamales. He was so tired from having slept all day, he slept again. When at last he reached his hut, he promptly slept again. Susan Lazo, 7B1. An Unexpected Visitor One summer while up at Mt. Rainier National Park, I was lying on my cot thinking of the numerous bears that prowl in that vicinity at night. The head of my cot was at the back of the tent so I had a fairly good view of the opening. My mother and father were sleeping on the ground with their heads at the front of the tent. When I had thoroughly frightened myself at the thought of a bear entering the tent, I heard a slight rustle of some twigs. A moment passed and I saw four huge brown paws under the flap. Another moment passed and I saw the large brown head of a bear in the flap of the tent. If my mother had awakened just then, she would have been unable to see beyond a paw which was poised directly above her head. just as I screamed, my father awoke to see a mother bear and two cubs running as fast as possible from the camp. jean McKinley, 8B3 .

SQUARE DEAL ALICE DEAL JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL 19 The Snowman's Smile I. Snowman, you,re so round and fat With your crushed and tattered hat Smiling through the rushing snow What's the merry joke you know? XVith your broom you stand so straight- A snowy sentry at our gate. II. Smiling at the people passing With a smile that's everlasting When the birds come back to sing, They bring a warm and flowing spring. Snowmen can not stand such weather, So you and winter flee together. Marion Nierlermair, 7A5. A Wet Experience One cold fall day I decided to take my dog, Puddy, for a walk in the park. We were following a trail that led along Rock Creek, which I noticed was frozen, when my dog's nostrils began to quiver and he started to run toward the creek. When I turned to see what caused his excitement, I noticed a dark shape on the ice about ten feet from che shore. When I drew closer to the scene, I saw that the dark object was a duck-, frozen and quite dead. Puddy ran along the bank whining. Finally he tried to crawl out on the ice. He crawled about five feet when the ice broke, and he went down only to come up again wet and shivering. Quickly he swam ashore. Then we hurried home at the end of a wet experience.
