REFLECTOR A SCARY NIGHT QSTRICTLY FICTIOND Some of the girls I know have funny dispositions. For instance, the girls I run around with. One day we're the best of friends and suddenly for some uncanny reason we're slinging barbs back and forth. fThis is not intended as a pun, Barb is small but not that small.J A week or so ago I asked my three friends to stay all night witlf meg they agreed and the date was set. But when the time came, one of the happy group be- came peevcd and wouldn't come. But the others came and we had a fairly uneventful evening. Please notice, I didn't say night. We didn't get to bed 'til rather late. It takes girls a long time to get their hair fixed. If you happened to be listening outside the door you might have heard an occas- ional remark like, Get your mitts off those bobby pins, you lug, they're mine! But finally all was quiet. What an understatement! Since there were only three of us we all slept together. No one would volunteer to sleep alone and we didn't have any straws for Mr. Pring's hat, like the Seniors doj. It would be violating the Bill of Rights to expect three girls to be quiet. There were so many things to talk about, like caps and gowns, the Annual pictures, who do you reckon will get married in our class, and so forth, long into the night It was nearly two before my companions fell asleep. Lucky girls. They climbed into bed before me, leaving me the edge. I didn't dare go to sleep and relax my grip. I think I must have dozed, for after a time I became conscious of a gasping noise. My skin began to creep. Was someone being choked to death? I lay quietly. At last I could stand it no longer. I gave a lunge and turned over to look but wouldn't you know it at that moment the moon disappeared under a cloud! I began to regret my hasty action. Suppose the monster should direct his attention to me. Despite the precarious situation the most incoherent thoughts flashed through my mind. I wondered how a rabbit could sit perfectly still when frightened. I shook the whole bed. When I grew calmer I noticed that the noise that had ceased for a time was now growing louder. I was becom- ing sleepy. As a comparison I was beginning to feel the way I act on Monday mornings. So I determined to have it out with the snarling monster then and there. It would kill me or let me sleep. Believing there is safety in numbers I poked my pal in the ribs. Whuzza matter? she queried sleepily. Shh, I murmured. Listen, what's that rasp- ing noise? My ominous tone had fully awakened her. After a lapse of a second or so she replied, I hate to tell you this, kid, but it's Pinhead over here snoring. With a mut- tered ejaculation under my breath, I succeeded in stuffing a pillow in the cavity from whence the sounds were coming. We had a difficult time in keeping our faces straight the next morning, however, when our friend related a dream of the previous night. Seems like she dreamed a wolf with a wool mustache chased her through fields and over fences 'til she had tripped and the wolf having a faint resemblence to one of the faculty had kissed her fully on the lips.

REFLECTOR A SMILE A smile is such a small thing, yet very big. It only takes a minute to smile and it may make the memory last forever. A smile costs nothing and gives a lot. It makes those to whom you have given a smile feel better without making those who smile any poorer. No one is so rich that he can get along without smiles. A smile brings happiness in the home and adds to your friendships. It helps in business and also helps those. who are sad, discouraged, and in trouble. A smile cannot be begged. It is something that no one else will enjoy unless it is given away naturally. Some people are too tired to smile. Give them a smile, for no one needs a smile as much as the one who has no more smiles to give. -BEVERLY VINCENT 'Q ASKING HER TO GO-THE FIRST TIME It's a hard thing--asking her to go. It wouldn't be so bad, if there weren't always a first time. My, this is going to be terrible. I'l1 just go up and ask her to go with me. But how should I go about it? What if she would say NOP She'd tell every- body and that would embarrass me so. I'll just wait a couple months before I go. But still I have to ask her sometime. There's the first time for everything, they say. I'll just go up to her and say, Would you go with me if I'd ask you? That way if ishe'd gay Nov she couldnit go around telling everybody that I asked her and she refused me. But you have to be nice around a girl, I suppose. You have to be different around a girl than a boy. I'm going up to her and I'm going to say, May I.take you home tonight? Here goes! Did I hear her right? I guess I did. She said Yes . O boy, that's over. Now what am I going to say to her while I'm taking her home. Oh why did I ever get in this mess? Oh I wish I'd never asked her. Oh me! Oh my! -PAUL DALE MYERS u There was a girl from Clay Hi, There was a boy named joe Who was always breathing a sigh Who always leaned on his hoe 'Till one day at last He fell in the dirt She sighed furious and fast And tore his shirt And up came her pie with a fly. And now he has a broken toe. -PHYLLIS CAGLEY -Bon SI-IIVELY There was a teaeher named Flossie There was a little boy named Bill People say she was rather hossy Doctor said he should take a pill She took her whip Up the pill Came And gave it a flip His dinner the same Now she's riding away on her h'ossie . And now Billy needs a re-fill. -GERVASE ANDERSON --WORKED our BY 8TH GRADE 36
