he Rocking Chalr The old rocking chalr s1ts 1U the parlor,st11l and unused I wonder as it sits t ere,if it's thlnking about all the things it has seen About the time when Grandmother's niece nearly died of whooplng cough and Grandmother sat and rocked her all n1ght And the time when Johnny,playing cowboys and lndians jumped into lt and broke both it's rockers And all the merry times at Chrlstmas when the famlly was there together I wonder lf 1t's th1nk1ng these tY1HgS and many others Don't you9 Joyce Dean '51 1-Q I N7 u '1 5 Quick Thlnklng Joe owned a falrly new garage It had been built about a year ago and it was ln good condltlon Tt had a cement floor furnace and was well equlpped w1th tools And automoblle supplles One nlght Joe was alone and worklng late in an effort to get Doc Jones car repa1red 1n case og an emergency call Pe had Just crawled out from under the car and smoked about half a clgarette when the telephone rang On his way to the phone he passed an old panel truck whlch the owner had driven in to be fixed This truck had been sltting there Just behlnd the closed garage door for about two hours and as the roads were covered with snow there was a puddle of water under the truck Joe tossed h1s cigarette 1nto this expect1ng the water to put lt out Much to h1s surpr1se the water seemed to exp1ode,1mmed1ately the garage was fllled w1th smoke and the water covered with flames Joe grabbed the small f1re extlnguisher hanglng on the wall close at hand Fe d1rected the nozzle toward the flames but the extlngulsher was not equlpped to combat th1s type of f1re At once he thought of the water faucet behlnd the truck but he did not dare go behlnd the truck for fear the heat would blow the gas tank up Suddenly he thought,ran to the door on the other side of the garage through it and around to the garage doors behind the truck Breaklng the pane of glass in the door,he reached through and turned on the faucet full force Fe knew that the waterwould wash down the floor draln and take the fire with lt IIS thoughts proved true and thus saved h1s garage,equipment and several people cars George Plerce '50 I Q 66' w F m .
