of I do not think that -o really appreciate the beauty th a bills srour Berkeley, until r: e have been wa i fro them for a —hila, or until ? e hear see one e - p ere is e tb ev , celling our attention to the beauties tna u ’ f e h a v e rro-n accustomed to seeing. d a ' r c Not ver ' long a o in flat count rv. It took a tri a nr scent several , a s orottv in its — a y b u t it as not until our return that we noticed ho- much more beautiful tbe lights ark sunsets are or. the hills as com- cared to flat country. A very interesting feature o the lioht effect re have in the late afternoon is a oeau tiful amethyst coloring or glow, which precedes the sun- set. It is a lovely soft color that I never remember having noticed anywhere else. There is something very friendly about soft rolling hills and they make such a wonderful background for homes, -bich nestle along their slopes. There is always a lovely view to be seen. No one ever having lived near the hills can be satisfied with flat country. toward Lee K8 AN EXCITING KOKENT One day, as I was taking a stroll along a crowded business section, I noticed a crowd gathering at a cor- ner. Being eager for excitement, I hurried along. As I was altogether too short to see anything above the heads of the people, I tried to make my way nearer. After a whole quarter of .an hour’s jostling back and forth, I was up in front, only to see that a large, portl TT man had stepped in front of me. I could not make him. understand that there were others behind him who . wanted to see. Finally he moved and. inch so that I could distinqish a queer looking individual and what do you think he wars doing? Advertising corn plasters! I hur- riedly left the place homing devoutly no one had seen me. Regina Railo H9

One day I was out hording the cattle. Just as it was time to drive the cattle home, the horse I was riding began to prance around and it was with difficulty that I could check him. At last one of the cows ran in the brush and when I started after it the horse whirled around, ran right through the center of the herd, and made for home as fast as he could go. I tried my best to stop him but it was no use, he was going home and that on as besu as was all there was to it. I tried to hang I could, ' then we got up close to the barn, I saw that the horse was going right through the barn door which was open. As the door was rather low I saw that I would be knocked off. I jumped and landed on the ground, sprain- ing my ankle, but I was glad that I had broken no bones. That was the fastest ride I had ever had. Laurence II on km an H7 THE SCHOOL Iff II OTHER ATTENDED lay mother went to school in a little one room school house. The building was made of adobe or sun- dried brick and was small and inconvenient. There were windows on all sides and the walls were lined with the large clumsy benches. The teacher’s desk was at one side of the room. The stove, large, black, and smoky, was in the center of the room. A blackboard stretched across the room in front, with maps and charts on the sides which greatly interested the pupils. The small struggling community was only able to pay a small sum for their teachers therefore one teacher had to teach three or four grades all of their subjects. In those days there were many things they did not have but they did have olenty of room to play. They had a large yard surrounded by a picket fence. This yard was cool and s h a d y , T-i n T !

MY .Ljj ■vFERIENCE JITM a horse One summer day in Sacramento, my u ncle came from the hayfield. He left his horse and wagon outside of the shed. My cousin and I, who were playing near by, saw the horse, so we thought we would go and play in the wagon. The horse r s name was Dobbin, but we thought it was Gidap - Decause we always heard my uncle say that. Af- ter we had climbed into the wagon, we said to the horse, “Nice Gidap, u and the horse began to run. We kept re- peating, u Gidap u until Dobbin was racing around the field. My uncle came and ‘stopped him before we were hur t . Sirkka Niemi H7 JERRY Jerry is a little black Persian kitten. His fur is very long and black. He has very bright eyes and sees everything. Jerry is very playful but a bit too rough. One day as he was playing in the yard, two dogs came up to him, but he looked at them and kept them away until someone came to help him. Jerry is always into something, always exploring. One day I heard him crying. I opened the door of a lit- tle pantry, whore wo keep papers and cut jumped Jerry. Ho probably wondered what was in there and got shut in while investigating. Ida May Guy L9 MY NEIGHBOR’S CAT AND DOG One day as I was walking down the street I saw a dog and a cat eating out of the same bowl. They looked like two good friends to me. But in a little while they started to growl and the cat to spit. Then the fight be- gan. The dog yowled and snapped, the cat jumped and scratched the dog. The cat was the best fighter. The dog ran home and I never saw that dog again. John Silva L7
