Tl-IE OWL 87 GEORGIE TAKES A HOLIDAY Stewart K. Haring Now little Georgie McConna was just like any other boy of ten. His days were pretty well taken up with swimming, fishing, games, or fighting, and of course in winter there was sledding and school. Especially school, thought George as he reluctantly trudged toward that much hated institution. Here was a fine, crisp, winter day. A light snow had fallen the night before and already it was packed just right for sledding. But, until school was out, the sun would just about have ruined Clemmen's Hill. Just then George saw Willie up ahead and suddenly a bright light illuminated little George's brain. Hey, Willy, c'm'ere aminute. I'll give you my model airplane kit if you'll do me a favor, ventured George. After a brief, secretive conversation, a bargain was struck whereby Willy was to receive the airplane kit the next day, in exchange for a certain note. Not long after school started, a piece of paper was quietly slipped to George from Willy, the best penman in the class. George carefully looked it over. Dear Teacher, it ran, will you please excuse George from school this afternoon. I need him at home. Signed, Georgie's Mother. It seemed quite to satisfaction so George proceeded to the front of the room and boldly handed it to Miss Marlin, the teacher. George felt both fear and regret creeping upon him as Miss Marlin casually glanced at the note. Never- theless, she said, Very well, George, you're excused this afternoonf' George could hardly wait for the noon hour to arrive. The time dragged so slowly. When the time did finally come, after again pledging Willy to secrecy on their agreement, he quickly raced home for lunch. After gulping down his food, it was an easy matter to persuade his mother to let him take his sled to school,

88 THE OWL as he naively put it. So off he went, instead, to Clem- men's Hill. Upon arriving at that place, which was well hidden from the sight of school, he made several trial trips down the hill. But the sun had already gone to work before he had arrived, and the street showed through at places. After a few more trips George began to realize this was not so much fun, sledding alone and having a rutchie all to himself. By two oiclock he was thouroughly tired of it. By three o'clock, the snow melted, and very lonely, George was found waiting along Main Street, for Willie would come home that way. Maybe he could persuade Willy to change his mind about Wanting the airplane kit. The first to come along from school was Betty. Upon seeing George she said, George, it's just too bad you weren't in school this afternoon. This is Washington's birthday, you know. Yeah, said George, what do I care whose birthday it is? 'iWhy, didn't you know teacher is having a party? asked Betty. We had no lessons all afternoon, just games, and ice cream, and cake, and candy. George did not wait for Willy. It was aisorrowful boy who slowly made his way homeward as before his eyes danced visions of lost ice cream, cake, and candy. alle
