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

tr at + 1936 INK POT Q November 27, Thanksgiving Entertainment by the Elementary School-Our elementary school displayed their dramatic talents in a Thanks- giving pageant. They dramatized the plant- ing of corn in the New World and the First Thanksgiving. They closed with an original performance of taking each letter of the word Thanksgiving and explaining what it stood for. October 31, The Hallowe'en Luncheon-The Social Committee outdid themselves in giving us a Hallowe'en luncheon. The gym was gai- ly adorned with orange and black crepe paper to fit the gala occasion. A delicious luncheon was served to us, after which we sang songs and played games. A fortune teller was pres- ent to read into the futures of those who were not superstitious. December 19, Lady Windermere's Fan - The Dramatic Group under the skillful and indispensable direction of Mr. Gerald Rey- nolds, presented Oscar Wilde's famous com- edy, Lady Windermere's Fan. The stage settings this year were more realistic and more artistic than ever before. The members of the cast outdid themselves, and the adapt- ability which each person showed in the por- trayal of her role proved the ingenuity with which the play was cast. The production was a huge success and we are looking forward to seeing the next one. February 14, St. Valentine's Party-One more triumph for our Social Committee. This time, although each member of the High School furnished the sandwiches, fruit and cake, the committee served hot chocolate and candy. Afterwards we danced and sang songs to the able accompaniment of Miss Mitchell at the piano. QShe certainly can play.J As a climax to the afternoon's fun we had a Virginia Reel and 'fSnap the Whip. fMiss Wiggin was afraid that after all this strenuous exer- Eise we would be too tired to play basketball or a week.l A The Music Shop Gather Lip-Rouge VVhile You May -Before 8245.
