Q 1936 INK POT Q How the Ti ger Got His Stripes In the African jungle there lived a giraffe who was an excellent artist. He drew all the animals' face Th l' I s. ere ived also a vain tiger who was brown, with white whiskers. 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. The paint would not come off so the tiger had changed his appearance, and that is how the tiger got his stripes. FLORENCE MAVER, Fifth Grade The Ghost Once upon a time there was one irl and th ' ' . g . ere were two boys. One day the children went to the store. There was no man in the store. He was hiding. The children went out. They heard a noise behind the store. They ran back to see what it was. There was nothing there. They ran into the store again and they saw a ghost. They ran away quietly so that no one could hear them. As they were goin home th ' h d f ' ' ' ' ' g , ep ear ootsteps on the pathway. No one vsas in sight, not even a man, not even a girl, not even a dog, not even a bird, not even a cat, not even the ghost. BEVERLY FINK, First Grade Hallowe'e1z Christmas It was Hallowe'en, Oh, Christmas time will soon be here, All the witches were seen, And girls and boys will have much cheer. The owls were in their nests, Then Santa Claus brings lots of tovs, To have a little rest. On Christmas Eve for girls and boys. RAYA SPIECEI., Third Grade PRISCILLA Rose, Third Grade Summer Time Summer time is lovely, The birds are cuddled in their nests, The time when birds do sing. The sun is shining bright. All the children are plaving, The trees and flowers 'are blooming, Their joyous laughter rings. The lake is a beautiful sight. The children go barefoot all summer, The moon is bright at night. Summer time is beautiful For everything within sight. ANNE Scmzvek, Fifth Grade Sixty-three

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. S prin g Time When trees and grass have turned From winter's tawny brown, I find it hard in this glad scene To see a person frown. 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.

He chases squirrels in the Park, He chases them until it's dark. When little brother comes home late, Scottie's ears stand up so straight. I know it's food for which he begs, When he stands on his little hind legs. his PEGGY ELISBERG, Fourth Grade Stars The stars are huge, The stars are bright, The stars are happy all the night. But when the dawn nears, And the night disappears, Then the stars that shone so bright, Vanish slowly in the light.
