S A Al A R A 23 deal of enjoyment. In the afternoon we held a party. Marilyn brought a record player and a selection of Victor Borge records. We also brought a large selection of food and pop — sandwiches, cake, cookies and candy. We ate and ate and ate. Finally the bell tolled telling us Free Day was over. Mrs. Watson had a head ache but she was sure a good sport. We have had some trouble with Words are Important . For example, in using words in sentences to show clearly the meaning, one Christmas test showed up like this- The man tried to consolidate the unhappy women. The hall was not big enough to accininilate all the people. The Story of Edith Cavell Edith was born in the small town of Swardeston, England on December fourth, 1865. She was one of four children and was brought up very strictly for her father was a vicar. At the age of thirty-one Miss Cavell de- cided to do something worthwhile vith her life and went in training to be a nurse. Eventually she became the supervisor of a hospital and finally reached the top of her profession when she became matron at a home in Manchester. Several years later Nurse Cavell was asked to be the directrice of Dr. Depages ' Chnic in Brussels. When she returned home for her vacation, she received serious news that Austria had declared war. The Germans rushed into Brussels soon after Nurse Cavell ' s return. During the First World War she and the nurses helped over two hundred Allied soldiers escape. A good friend of Edith ' s, Phillipe Barcq, was also helping towards the same cause. No. 149 Rue de la Culture were the magic words whis- pered to the escaping Allies. Everything went well for quite a while until one day the news leaked out that 149 Rue de la Culture was the means of escape for many British soldiers, and soon the Ger- mans came to arrest brave Nurse Cavell. She spent many long weeks in prison until the day of her trial. Louis Huliez, Phillipe Barcq and Edith Cavell were all found guilty, but it was Edith and Monsieur Barcq that were to be shot that cold October morning. Her friends tried every way they knew to save her, but it was all in vain. The night before her death, Edith ' s pastor, the Reverend Graham came to visit her and they sang one

SAMARA About noon of Alarch thirty-first, Thomas ' birthday, a strange man in a dark blue trench coat quietly darted up the porch steps of his house, rang the doorbell, and fled When Thomas answered the door, he asked who it was. Receiving no reply, he be- gan to close the door. The door bumped into something as it closed. Thomas reached down and his hands felt a soft, wooly animal. It was a little German Shepherd puppy dog. Thomas decided to keep the puppy and to call him King. As the dog grew, he and his master be- came close friends and companions. King would guide Thomas along the street, and stop at every red light. One day, a near fatal accident happened. While walking down iVIain Street, King and Thomas stopped for a red light. On crossing, a driver carelessly drove on, hitting Thomas. In one moment of terror, King rushed madly away. In the hospital, the doctors announced that Thomas was critically injured, and in his de- lirium the old blind man kept on calling, King, King! So the doctor in charge called the Humane Society, to try and find a dog that would answer to the name of King. In a week ' s time, the Society phoned back, saying they had found a German Shepherd who came to them when called King. The Society had taken the dog to their shelter, fed him, and dried him, and later took him to the hospital. When King saw Thomas, he jumped on the bed, wagged his tail, and was obviously delighted at finding his beloved master. After that Thomas was ever grateful to the Society for finding his devoted dog, and he soon recovered from his injuries. Debbie Duval 4A When we began class in September we all sang: Hi-ho hi-ho!

The day of the year we most enjoyed was Free Day . We played the Television Quiz, Live a Borrowed Life , which proved to be a great success. In this several girls portrayed the lives of famous people such as Prince Phillip, Shakespeare and Ellen Fairclough. This quiz increased our general knowledge of these characters as well as giving us a great
