CENTRAL JUNIOR ,319 ANNUAL REFLECTOR A90 llLmfFmg9ll UG!-1 Hidden Treasure NNE WANN, a girl of thirteen years, and her brother Don, who was going on iifteen, just received a letter from their great- aunt Dorothy in Boston. This was an invitation extended to Anne and Don to spend a month of their vacation at her large estate. Oh mother l may we go?,' begged Anne. Please let us, mom, we've never been to Bos .... , Don was interrupted. Oh yes I have, smarty, this from Anne. Oh Heck! you were only a baby. Children, children stop arguing. If you're going to act this Way at great-aunt Dorothy's I won't hear to your going, put in Mrs. Wann. Gee ! she's always talking. It was finally decided that Anne and Don would leave the week after school let out. Oh Boy! I'm excited, said Don as he car- ried his and Anne's suitcases to the car. Don't think I'm not. The final words of goodbye had been given and they were on their way. It was a two-day trip. A spacious car was waiting for them at the station. Great-aunt Dorothy greeted them. I'm so glad to see you, I do hope you have a good timefl Oh, I'm sure we will, answered Anne quick- ly. The house was red brick, trimmed in white, and very large and roomy. Their great-aunt had lived there all her fifty- five years and it had been in the family for genera tions. They were busy the first weeks of their trip, but this was a rainy Saturday. Don and Anne got permission to explore the attic. Upon entering it was obvious that it had not been entered for some time as dust was quite .thick and cobwebs plentiful. Anne first discovered an old trunk full of old clothes and hats. Ouch ! yelled Don. What did I hit ? I ll-Iow would I know? responded Anne. Let's oo . It resembles a painting. Let's take it out in- to the light. Okay, come on. After dusting it off a very handsomely paint- ed picture was revealed. They asked their great-aunt about it. It has been so long since I went up there I'd forgotten what was there. Later, they discovered it was very valuable and had been hunted for some time. They were given 55,000 for it. You found it, so the money is all yours, they were informed by their great-aunt. I don't know what to say, was Don's reply. Believe me they were glad it rained that Saturday. Harriette Ysberg CZJWKD Granclma's Rocking Chair I am thinking of a cottage, In a quiet rural dell, A.nd a brook that ran beside it, That I used to love so well, I have sat for hours and listened, While it rippled at my feet, And thought no other music In the world was half so sweet. There are forms that flit before me, Those are the times I yet recall, But the voice of gentle Grandma I remember best of all. In her loving arms she held me, And beneath her patient care I was borne away to dreamland In her dear old rocking-chair. I am thinking of a promise That I made when last we metg 'Twas a rosy summer twilight That I shall never forgetg Grandma's going home, she whispered, And the time is drawing nighg Tell me, darling, will you meet her In our Father's house on high ? She was looking down upon me, For a moment all was still, Then I answered with emotion, By the grace of God I will. How she clasped me to her bosom! And we bowed our heads in prayer Where so oft we knelt together, By her dear old rocking-chair. She has passed the veil of shadows, She has crossed the narrow sea, And beyond the crystal river, Where she is waiting for me. But in fancy I recall her, And again we kneel in prayer, While my heart renews its promise By her dear old rocking-chair. Elaine Brusehafer QJOJD A Fish Story ANSWERS l. Butter and jelly. 5.
