COCHRAN AERIAL , ,, the neck and then double grip on one wrist and back strangle hold. These you must be able to break. The fourth thing I had to do was my carries-the head carry, the hair carry, the cross-chest carry, and the tired swimmer's carry. As a reward you get a diamond shaped pin, a diamond shaped emblem, and a membership card to the Junior Life Savings Corps. JACQUELINE CARMES, Term VIII. 0 A COLLECTION OF CANES Most people have hobbies. One of my father's is collecting canes. He has collected quite a number of them from different countries. He has two from the United States. One is an orange stick made from an orange tree in Los Angeles. The other one he made himself from an oak tree in Quakertown. One of his collection came from Mexico. This cane was made by a Mexican Indian and is very brilliantly colored and skillfully made. On this is carved a snake and a lizard and the Mexican coat of arms. Another one of his collection is the black thorn cane from Ireland. There are two which he prizes very much, these came from the holy land. One is from Palestine made from an old oak tree, the other is a cedar cane from Mount Lebanon. These are very roughly made. This completes the collection. He soon expects to receive one from the redwoods of California. KATHRYN HEEBNER, Term VIII. ll0l THE SPOILED CHILD Percy, darling, called mother. Oh, what do you want? was his snappy reply. You know you must practice your music lesson now. I am not, I practiced my music lesson last evening, and I'n1 not practicing it to-night, dad said I didn't have to. Oli, all right, dear, you run along and play marbles, then, if your daddy said so, she replied. Gee, kids, that's another time I got out of practicing, why clon't you try lying a little bit, it don't hurt you any, said Percy. A Yes, said John, but all of us don't have a mother like yours. ALVERTA COY, Term VIII. BABY BARBARA Little Barbara is the most cheerful person in our family. As she stands clapping her little hands, her brown eyes twinkle with laughter. Every feature of her face seems to smile, for even her little nose wrin- kles as the corner of her mouth turns up. Her slender little body fairly quivers with excitement. She is the baby and rules the rest of the family with her smiles. PI-IYLLIS LEHMAN, Term VIII. 0.i NANNY HAS A COLLISION As I entered the kitchen of my aunt's house, there seemed to be much excitement. There, in the doorway leading to the dining room, sat Nanny, a fat roly-poly negress with skin like patent leather. Her cheeks were smeared with white frosting. In her lap was a mass of lumps and crumbs, which at one time had been a large, white, layer cake. I had a wreck wif my choo-choo, said Tommy. After that I then realized that Nanny had stumbled over Tommy in the doorway. After many groanings and gruntings, she rose to her feet. I's so skeered I's turnin' white, she said, glancing at herself in the mirror. And look at mah cake! All de frostin' am done slid off it! ETHEL BIRK, Term VIII. fsixty threej
