Around here have that much on the slopes, for nine or ten inches of any hike up the hill behind my place, and then there are several hills and knolls before I reach the bottom again. I liketolook at the town far below and imagine myself in Sun Valley, Idaho or on Whiteface Mountain. Soon I'm on my way down. I try difficult turns and find myself inastretched out heap. How I would love to just be a medi- ocre skier and someday go out West to the high slopes where the sun shines so brightly that a heavy coat is not needed. Anothergreat advantage would be the absence of the weary trudge back to the top of the hill. YGS. Gveryday I like to have more and more snow so that the skiing will be excel- lent.

One morning I asked the boy who was sit- ting across the aisle from me what he was doing He said that he and his buddies were on their way to the moon. All three of them were going through the motions of flying a rocket ship all of the time they were calling instruc- tions to each other and making the noise the ship would make besides. Sometimes the boys behind you are helping the other boys get to the moon and sometimes they are doing some- thing else. One other time I asked them what they were doing and they said they were driving racing cars, and they told me to get off the track before I got run over. All the time they are going through the motions of driving the racer and making the noises racers make. Some of the other things they do are to fly airplanes, drive stock cars, drive bob- sleds down steep runways, and play cops and robbers. Sometimes I hear a fellow shout, 'Bangl Bangl', and then tell the other fellow that he is supposed to be dead. Riding on the school bus 1sn't such an easy life as it may seem to be 'If 'gg X ' VE ful' - ' ...... c E - -- U g- . -- and our class meetings we learn self-govern- too much,so we thought--sown ran andleteased, . - do. .
