After leaving school at 2 o'clock, we drove down in our car, Hlled with enthusiastic girls. We stopped in front of, the five-and-ten-cent store to get our school colors, and decorated our car. While decorating it, about a dozen people stopped and asked us if we were going to a wedding. Of course we had to explain why we were so enthused over decorating the car. After the last piece of decoration was put up, we piled in, and drove up and down the streets singing our school songs at the top of our voices. When we got to the game, we were so excited we did not know what to do. St. Catherine's got ahead, and then Collegiate would get ahead, but finally St. Catherine's win the victory. RENA GREGORY, '31. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII The Little Flag-A True Story HERE were once two little girls named lVIeta and Janet. They lived in the time of the Civil War. When the Yankees went through the town Janet and Meta were made to stay indoors. But the little girls liked to hear the bands and see the beautiful uniforms. So one day they went across the street to a neighbor's. One of the big girls dared Meta to stick a little Confederate Hag in her hat. She did it, and after awhile the army came to a stop. A general dismounted and walked up to Meta and commanded, Give me that flagll' I won't, she returned stoutly. He insisted. She took the Hag in her hand, tore it in half, and said as she gave it to him, There-l The day after the doorbell rang at their house. The mother of the children answered the door. The soldier asked, Where are the little girls that were across the street when the army was coming through the town ? I am sorryf' she said, but my little girls were in the house at that time. The soldier said, The little girls said they lived over heref' I donit think my children were out, but I'll call them. They came. P Their mother asked them if they had been out. Yes, they said. Little girls, said the soldier, I am ashamed of the general that took the Hag from you. I want you to make a little Confederate Hag for me, and I will come for it tomorrow. He did so. About thirty years after my grandmother, who was Janet, wrote the little story and put it in the paper. Some one wrote to her and said that her father had carried that little Hag all during the war, even though he was a Yankee, and when he died it was found in his vest pocket. lVIy grandmother begged her to give it to her to put in the Confederate Museum, but as it was her father's she would not give it up. JANET R. TURPIN, '32.

They build them out of blocks of ice and snow. They H11 the cracks with loose snow. The igloos are low and round. The Eskimos have to crawl through a tunnel to enter their homes. T ALICE C. HORSLEY, '34, The Eskimo's Sled Eskimo children do not have sleds like their father. Their sleds' are made of blocks of ice. Eskimos freeze fish in the ice to hold it together. Dogs pull the sleds over the snow. Sometimes the children coast down the hills of snow. I MARY MORRIS WATT, '3-P. The Eskimo's Boat Look at the Eskimo's boat! lt is long and narrow. lt is made of skin and bone. Eskimos paddle the boat swiftly over the Water. JUDITH P. Honces, Primary, '3+.
