72 COCHRAN AERIAL i goin' where she does an' wantin' to sit beside her. Well, all I can say is that I hope you can get me a couple. You sure are lucky, Bill. So long. So long. See you tomorrowf' Bernice Bantly, VII NINE INCHES I celebrated my first night in camp by getting up at day break. I dressed hurriedly, ran out of my tent, grabbed a shovel and an old tin can. I dug a few worms and raced down to the stream. There was a ripple on the water. I picked out a fat juicy worm and put it on the hook. I threw out the line and sat down. When break- fast time came I had not felt the slightest jerk on the line. When breakfast was over, I made a bee line for the bank. The line was out. I gave a jerk but to my disappointment the Whale, that I ex- pected to be on, was not ong no, there was nothing on, for when I reeled in the line, the worm had disappeared. The only thing to do was to put another one on. About two hours later I heard my brother calling. He wanted me to go in swimming with him. We had a great timesplashing and ducking each other but we soon were played out so I went down to where I had left my rod. The line was out again. A lNIy what greedy creatures these fish are, thought I, they only eat when their company has gone. I picked up the rod and gave a jerk. This time however there was something on for I saw it leap out of the water. I began reel- ing in the lineg at times I thought he had got off the hook but just as I thought that he would give a jerk. When I landed him I thought he was too small to keep 3 but when I measured him he was just nine inches. -Lincoln Jenkins When Wayne wore white waists, why couldn't Wayne walk with women who want Wayne. fMr.j Holton Has Happy Hours Heading His Harmonious Harkers.

COCHRAN AERIAL 71 sorta pretty and she looked bright. She had on awful funny clothes, high top shoes and woolen stockings an' a funny old long gingham dress, an' her hair was in two long plaits down her back. All the other kids laughed, but I didnlt 'cause she seemed to be such a nice girl. I heard the other girls talking about her hair but I thought it was awful pretty. Talk about crowning glory! Gosh! Heris sure is. It was real curly and long and all fluffy around her face an'- Well say, Bill, give another fellow a chance to get in a word. I don't blame Miss Burton for giving you a C in conduct. What did you say her name is? Mary-Mary-something. I forget the last name but wait 'till you hear the rest of it. Poor Mary! Today she came to school again, an' the teacher sent her to the principal to take her card to him an' you know the cupboard where the teacher keeps the drawing things ? Yeh, right beside the hall door, isn't it? Uh-huh. Well Mary was talkin' to the teacher an' she thought she had hold of the hall door, but she opened the cupboard door an' turned around an' walked right into it an' closed the door after her. All the kids roared, but I went over and opened the door and showed her the way to Mr. Smith's office. Poor kid, she looked so scared. It was mean of those kids to laugh at her like that. It's nothin, to go in the Wrong door. Well, so long Bill. So long Jim, see you tomorrow. The next day after school they met again. Gee, Jim, you remember that Mary Blake I was tellin' you about? You shoulda seen her today. She beats every girl in the whole school building. Yeh, love is blind. Go aheadg rave on, brave knightf' No, but really! Gosh, you haven't seen her yet. Boy! She sure looks spiffy. She's dressed just as nice as the other girls an' she wears her hair in curls now 3 an' say, she lives in that swell house We were looking at the other day. I-Iuh? Gosh, Bill. Yep, an' boy, she's bright! She spelled every one in the class down an' she can do problems that I never saw. An' she said that I was the nicest boy that she ever knew. So she's goin' to be my girl an' I'm going to start saving my money so I can buy her the prettiest valentine I can find. Gee, I'll bet those other boys are sorry they laughed at her. I know the girls are 'cause they're all
