The dog was by himself. He came over to the children and said, Bow-wow, bow-wow, how-wow. One of the girls said, I would like that dog. He is talking to us. He wants a home. Billy said to the dog, We will take you home. Bow-wow, said the dog. Billy said that he would name the dog. He took him up in arms. Then they all went home. When mother saw the dog she said, Where did you get the dog? We got him in the woods, they all answered. We want him for our dog. Mother said, I will get him some food. The little dog said, Bow-wow-thank you. They all lived happily together.

The flowers poke their heads to see The sunny sky, then dance with glee To welcome happy girls and boys Among the pleasant springtime joys. to green SALLEE Fox.

But when the dawn nears, And the night disappears, Then the stars that shone so bright, Vanish slowly in the light.

0 1936 INK POT ' Sally's Trip Once there was a little girl. Her name was Sally. One day Sally's mother said, Sally, we must go to England. We must go Friday. It was Thursday then. What time are we going? said Sally. We are going at twelve o'clock, said Sally's mother. When the time came they went down to the dock. They got on the boat. When the whistle blew the boat started. Sally's mother said, Sally, we are going to have lunch. Sally was up on the top deck. Mother called. Sally came walking down the steps. They walked into the dining- room. They sat down at a table. They ate their lunch. After their lunch a storm came up. The boat shook. Sally was on the deck. She was frightened. She called her mother. Mother said, Do not be afraid. It started to rain and Sally and mother went in their cabin. Soon the rain stopped and Sally looked out of her port hole. She saw what she had never seen before. She said, Mother, what is that in the sky? Mother said, That is a rainbow. It comes out after the rain. JEAN SHERWIN, Second Grade A Day in Florida I went on a trip in a glass bottom boat. Through the glass you could see all different kinds of fish. First, there were the sunfish. They are round and yellow except for a small border of black, and the eyes. Then we didn't see any large hsh for a while. Of course, we saw fish, but they were of no importance. We were watching the color of the seag it was a gorgeous turquoise blue. The coral of pale pink and blue, seaweed of the brightest green, also the moss and sponge of all sizes and descriptions added to the beautiful picture. We were hungry and sat down at a table to eat. All of a sudden someone cried, Baby saillish! Many people crowded around the rail of the boat, but we managed to get a glimpse of it. It had a gorgeous silvery, scaley body with the most beautiful baby sail of rainbow colors. But now it was time to go home, and so home we went. IRMA NEWMAN, Fifth Grade The Little Engine Once there was a little engine. It was built in a foundry. It was the lirst steam engine in New York. Everybody wanted to ride in it. Only a few people could go in the train, because it was so small. The name of the train was De Witt. GLORIA BARNETT, Second Grade Dirty Hands Bubbles Before we eat we wash our hands A bubble is a fairy ball And wash our faces, toog So very dainty and so small. To touch our food with dirty hands Away, away they all do float- Is what we must not do. Past the rainbows, across the moat. My washcloth and my towel The fairies blow them till they break. Are hanging up, you see, This, of course, is a mistake. My mother put them there Soon the bubbles fade away. For no one else but me. Now, I know how the fairies play.

One day the tiger went to the giraffe and said, Mr, Giraffe, I have heard of your wonderful painting and I h ' - ' ' i axe come here to have my whole body painted. Try to add dots or anything to my body, for I want to change my appearance. The giraffe was drawing the tiger when a can of black paint slipped and fell on the tiger's body in stripes.

Summer time is beautiful For everything within sight. ANNE Scmzvek, Fifth Grade Sixty-three
