come. She tried to get us out but she could not so she called to her winged monkeys to come. They came buzzing and grabbed hold of my three friends. They did not bother me at all. After a while the old witch went into the house and forgot to take her cap in with her. So while she was in the house I sneaked up and got her cap and called the winged monkeys. They came and killed the old witch. I lived in her house for a long time. Then I went and found my three friends. One day a little later we became sick and called the doctor and asked him what was the matter with us. He said we were homesick. The next morning we started out for home. We walked and walked and at last reached the white paved streets. 1 he people at home were so glad to see us that they gave a big party in our honor. —Vivian Shore, Grade 5. The Indian Deer Hunt Once upon a time there lived a tribe of Indians. They were going to hunt deer and so the tribe got together. 1'hey started out sneaking around the trees and there saw a deer. 1 hey surrounded him, one shot at him, and lie started out like the wind. All of them started after him, the chief shouting, “Ug! Ug! Ug!” at the deer. After a time they were attacked by another band of Indians who killed two of their best men. I hey lost their deer and were compelled to return to their camp without two of their best fighters. After they got back to camp they had a dance and out of another deer skin they made their chief a pair of trousers like the white men wore. The chief was very proud of them and would often remark, “Me big man now.” They lived at peace with white men for many years. Glenn Clarence Shimp, Grade 4. Dodge Ball I he day was warm and the birds were singing in the trees. All of the children in our room were out in front of the school house. We were playing Dodge Ball. Dorothy was in the center. I tried to hit her but she dodged the ball. Then the hell rang and we had to come into the school room. —Elizabeth Beehner, Grade 3. My Wish I wish I were a Brownie. It would be such fun. I would dress in brown and wear a brown peaked cap. 1 would go anywhere I wanted to. I would change myself into a mouse and gnaw a hole. 1 would wash the dishes for people. Audra Flinn, Grade 2. The Bird I Saw 1 saw a bird. 1 was out on the sidewalk. It was flying in circles in the air. It was black. I think it was a hawk. —Edward Lyons, Grade 1. Page twenty-one

M. M.: “Do you know Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address?” Chuck: “Sure! He lived in the White House.” Wise: What is it that was yesterday, is now, and will be tomorrow? Dull: I dunno. W: Today. One day “Eddie” was walking along the street and came upon a sign which read “Everything Sold by the Yard.” Eddie, wishing to play a joke upon the store keeper, went in and called for a yard of milk. The boy in charge immediately dipped his fingers into a jar of milk and drew a line a yard long. Eddie not wishing to be caught at his own game replied, “All right, wrap it up. I’ll take it.” Who can give us the solution of this? M. Y. (). B. “Smile you Freshie.” Said the bald headed man to the waiter hold, “See here, my lady, my cocoa’s cold” Said the waitress then, “I can’t help that. If the old thing’s chilly, put on your hat.” Sam: “Why is a horse that can not hold up his head like next Wednes- 1 : ! dayr Grandpa: “I have heard it before but I have forgotten it.” Mother: “My land, son, your head is sopping wet.” Morton: “Yes, ma, I guess my roof leaks.” A doctor once doctored a doctor who wanted to be doctored in the doctored doctor’s way. But the doctor doctored the doctor not the way that the doctored doctor wanted to be doctored but the way the doctoring doctor doctored. S.: “Because its neck’s weak.” G’pa: “Oh Yes! I heard that a week back.” Talking about tongue-twisters, have you read Geometry? “In a series of equal ratios the sum of two or more consequents is to the sum of two or more antecedents as any consequent is to its corresponding antecedent.” “Every bounded increasing sequence has its least upper bound and every bounded increasing sequence has its greatest lower bound.” Page twenty-three
