s The next morning wo locked around in the stores. On.. ■ ng wo discovered was tho time tho shoos open in the morning eu.d close at night. Wo spont tho afternoons attending movies. Wo also travolod to Manchester, Now Hampshire, which is only sovon miles from Springfield, to. shop and to see the Connecticut River, I noticod a big change in different people. There are quite a few Polish and Russian people around Springfield - poople who work in the shops, Tho week passed vory quickly, but I realized how it is for childron in the city who don't have anything to do but sit around all day or got in trouble. I would prdfer a country place any day, - . Richard Wostdot '59 GRANDFATHER1S P tCKAXE Dave had b .en listening to his grandfather' who was tell- ing him about the time he climbod Semoro Mountain and of the dangers he encountered while climbing it. After the storv was over Dave began thinking of how much fun it would bo to climb a moun- tain and to prove that ho was a man, for no was only thirteen years old. Then ho remembered tho cliff ii back of his place - one about 200 foot high and a vertical mass of rock. This, he thought, would be a very good substitute for a mountain. Ho decided to alimb it tho next day. Ho stayed awake most of the night planning what it tako with him and now he was to go about climbing it. The next morning ho awoke early and made sandwiches to out into his knap - sack. He found fifty feet of good strong ropo that ho decided to take with him. Then ho went to the closet, where his grandfather1 a mountain climbing axe stood and took it out, •'•his he thought was what ovory climbor needed. Then he wrote a note so his mother would know whero ho was, when she came home from shopping. It was a long walk to tho cliff and he was tired when he got t ere. On looking tho cliff over ho found a placo that looked hard and yot easy, Tho climbing was easy a way, but then It started to, get harder and jardor. In many places there wore only small ledges four inches wide. In one place he could not reach a rock over his head. He threw the ropo over it and hauled himself up inch b’ inch. He was about fifty foot from the top when ho saw his•grandfather and mother standing on top of the cliff, hoy had road the note and had gone up the other way to holf him if he was in trouble. His mother was yelling at him t to bo careful. Her yelling attracted his attention and he started to slido down tho rock he was on. He was almost to tho odge when the pickaxe caught a pioco of jagged rock and stopped his slide. If the axe had not held ho would have boon killed on tho rocks below. His grandfather lowered a rope and told him to Dut it around his waist. Davo did this 'and was pulled uo to saifty. He could see now that he had worried bota his grandfather and his mother, and he folt ashamed.
