14 a-Gfiafcaical Piciaae . . . In scattered communities 'throughout the land stand houses which have the reputation of being haunted. Those buildings have usually been standing vacant for many yearsg the paint is badly peeled: the porch is droopyi vines overun the house: the windows are broken and people, while they don't make a point of it, don't usually walk by that house at night, Among the children of the com- munity. hushed words of scary StorieS circulate concerning the so-called haunt- ed house of the city. Now I may be 21 sentimentalist, but I believe that every community has a house in it which is rgally haunted. It may be old and it may battered, but the older and the more battered it is the more chances are that ghosts inhabit the building. The building of which I speak is the schoolhouse. You may not believe what I sayg but if you your old school house. Don't go to visit new voices and faces will blot out the from that -old building. Simply visit the the summer when the building stands a front -of the building and look around hollows where home plate has been for see the trees, spindly little things perhaps when you were in school, grown in your time. The building looks much thirty-five years. Oh, 'there is a crack don't the odds are that you need to visit when school is in session becauses the voices of long ago that will speak to-you building, not the people there. Go during great empty hulk of uselessness. Stand in you. You will see the old bare spots and so long. To the north and west you will tall the same, if you attended during the last here and there and the white marks on either side of the front door where the tots beat erasers from time to -lime, are still there. The metal fire escapes will bring back memories of surreptitious climbs long years ago. On the south side of the building a little concrete pump house juts which you recognize to be -a relatively new addition. The old giant stride on which you may have received a bloody nose, a knocked out tooth, a bruised body or perhaps even ia broken bone, is gone as is the old teoler-totter. The slide west of the building is also gone and all have been replaced recently with playground equipment located on the block north of the SCl'lO0l. Now step into the building. the recognize-able odor of sweeping compound is there, and the old brass h-and-bell greets you from its little shelf above the ra- diator'to the left. Step up that first flight of steps now, go ahead. Now just whose silhouette would you expect to see against the window at the top of the next flight of stairs, -and just whom would you expect to see standing in line at the Old water fountain, and just which of the many teachers who have stood to the left and right of the door gently brushing their posterior against the two rad- iators frowning severely .at any inisbebavlor in the line of children just come in from a hard tustle at recess on the playground. Could it have been Miss Erickson, Miss Lund, Miss Johnson, Miss Tronness, Mrs Sands, Miss Fosmo, Miss Anderson, Miss Goheen, Miss Noxon-, Miss Larsen, Miss Ritchie, Miss Torgerson, or any of the others. And now as you walk over to the left and begin to ascend the stairs, do you actually see a figure standing at the west window with its hands resting lightly on the sill -and Deering intently out at a cloud of dust on the sec- tion west of town? Was it a mirage or could it have been a ghost? oh, yes, they are there all right. Just stand there and absorb that atmosphere and listen for a 1-vvvsfvxAAfv-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. .fAf.-.-vvvv-.-.-.-.-.-.-Jvvsfvv-.-.-.-.-.-.x,N,vvvd,-v-v-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.V Q,-v-.,-------v-v-.-Q-.-.-.-v-.
