Stuffed animals are my favorite. I ' ve col- lected since I was a lit- tle girl. Without the lion I received from my great-grandmother, I don ' t think I would have grown to love stuffed animals as I do. Deb- bie Hamlin, junior. V A B H ago, ■■ B school dis- trict not so far away, there was a land called Arlington High School. In this land, little boys and girls could play and frolic without a worry. Then one day, a big terrible monster named Maturity came and took away all of the chil- dren ' s belongings. He took the teddy bears and re- placed them with stereos; he took the dollies and re- placed them with curling irons; and he even had the gaul to take the big wheels and replace them with GES 3 UP HOLDING ON TO CHILDHOOD MEMORIES something called auto- mobiles. But he didn ' t take everything. Some of the chil- dren managed to save at least one thing that was near and dear to them. Many people kept toys that were popular when they were kids. These toys have regained popularity. Senior Pierre Charles commented, I kept all my hotwheels and still like to play with them. The funny thing is that kids today are still playing with them. Some of the toys that people have kept for sentimental reasons have become valuable. I kept all my building blocks and old trucks from when I was a lit- tle kid. The reason that I kept them is because they were handed down for many generations; from my great- grandpa to me. They are also very valuable, stated Tim Harris. Although the Maturity Monster has taken away most of the toys from our childhood days, we still have our memories. I wish I could be a little kid again be- cause there wasn ' t as much responsibility as when you get older, added sopho- more, Cathy Fagan. by Doug Corbitt and Frank Shelton.
