As I was nearing my destination, I per- ceived a gray tuft of green grass trotting along at a galloping pace. It seemed bliss-' fully unaware of my existence on this terrestrial sphere, so I grabbed me up a c1ub'and hit the thing a wallop on the cranium. All at once, like a streak of greased'light- ning, a striking rattler, or a bolt from the Wblewn, the thing turned on me with a ferocious growl that made my hair stand on its roots. I put up my guard and turned to do battle with my adversary. I took it by surprise with a blow to the middle. fHe folded up like a'NbustW balloon, a groggy pug or a deflated gas bag. I, think- ing he was dead, laid my hand upon his caudal appendage. I with-drew my hand at about ninety kilocycles per horse- power and found several spears with buried barbs embodied in my flesh. With excruciating pain and exotic patience I extricated the arrows. The wounds were awful. It seemed that my opponent had come to, for he sure- ly looked as mad as u wet hen, a jealous lover, or a mad woman. I felt several stickers all at once and looked in the direction they came from. The thing was shooting quills at me like a tom y gun gone crazy. I had to get out of his range, I knewg or I would be sorely inflicted. When I moved to one side, he just lined me up and plugged away with undaunted courage. I was powerless to return his fire. All I could do was to take it on the chin until he ran out of amm nition. But he just seemed to get all the more angry at me for Nbustingn him one on the head with that twelve foot pole. He moved his big guns up closer and I quickly ordered a charge putting into use all my manly powers. I just as quickly countermanded my order as I heard him sound a call for reinforcements that were already closing in on me. I saw that he was out of ammunition so I made a long running jump and catapulted over his lowly form. But at the top of the orbit of my leap a shot hit me from behind. I felt my life blood leaking out in numerous onenings so I ordered full speed ahead, and when I got home it took me one hour and fifteen minutes to remove the barbs from my bodyg and, as soon as I was finished, I took one quart of chloroform and blissfully bid the cruel world adieu. --Maxine Holifield, '58 45 1' s 43 if Q? 65 if it 65 ik 9? 6? 6? 45 55 49 Q? 49 49 65 46 it 4+ 99 6? 1 -... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 108 -o--n-'-u-was-4-s-n.-Q--.uuc--una-pm--nqn-:-a-.--a-a--.1

We were having a good time swim ing around when sudden- ly it got so cold the water froze solid, and everyone was in it when it froze The man at camp had to chop us out. Boy was that close. The next morning I went fishing. I took a hand line, some meat for bait, and an axe. I chopped a hole in the ice, tied the line on my wrist and went to sleep, when suddenly I was awakened by a strong jerk on my line. I was no more than awake when that fish gave a pull that pulled me right into the water through that hole in the ice. All the time I was trying to get rid of the line but my fingers were so cold I couldn't do anything. The fish was cruising around at about 400 miles per hour when he decided to get rid of that thing following him around. He started going in circles right up next to the ice. He went so fast that the ice caused my coat to get on fire on account of so much friction, and my coat melted the ice as we went. When I finally got rid of him, all I had to do was to pull myself upon the ice. When I got to camp they had to treat my back for burns. One day I was out hunting when I sighted a polar bear coming across the ice at me. I started shooting when suddenly I found I didn't have any more shells, although I had some powder in my pocket that I had been using or blasting holes in the ice. All of a sudden a brain-storm struck me. The bear had scared me so badly that large beads of sweat were popping out on my face, then freezing. I put one of these beads of sweat that was frozen and some powder into the barrel of my gung then I shot the bear right between the eyes. The bear then died because the heat of his body had melted gheiice and had caused him to die with water on the ra no We visited an Eskimo village where the women wore grass skirts and danced. Then we went back home. I was happy because my boyhood dream had been realized. --Kenneth Ward, '58 it-45-'36-itl.-'S' 6'Lj1-itnii'--it-wiP-6?'..i5-if-41-45 -it -PS 41'-.if 63' 'Z' 'H' -N' 'N' 9?

Of course I am no exception. New for instance, there's that chunky little blonde. He's drawing pictures of brawny football players. An- other exemple is that little brown-eyed girl furiously writing away. NGoshN, I thought, nwonder why she's so industrious. Probably thought she was 'gonna' flunk and she is doing some 'cramming'.H Confidentielly, I leaned near her desk to ask her why she was working so She said, NOh, I'm just writing Johnny e letter hard. N In this case Johnny was the boy friend. Across the aisle from me was another girl, listless- ly drawing pictures of glamorous looking ladies on the fly leaf in her English book. It's a crime the way some people can waste e lot of good time. In front of this girl sat 3 boy who was seriously studying. Listlcssly my eyes flickered over him and lin- gered on the blackboard li front of the room. I thought wonderingly, Hwhy did they cell it e blackboard when it wus green.W I looked disconsolstely :t 1. the pictures on the Study Hell wall, Washington, Lincoln end e framed copy of the Decluretion of Independence. I had been look- ing st these same pictures ever since I had entered high school. I glared at the clock, then, not because I had any special desire to know what time it mms, but it would help to pass the time sway. Over nerr the windows r girl was furiously scratch- ing fingernail polish from her fingernails. I looked be- yond her Qt the thick cement dust which cofted the gym- nasium roof. Just then I heard the bell ring. I looked quickly at the clock. My mouth fell open from astonish- ment. This study period was over, my lest one today, end I didn't have that theme finished! I groaned inwardly Qt the thoughtlessness of some people. Why couldn't they give us long enough study periods in which to do our work if 'I U 'I 'I 'I 'f 'I 'I 'I tu 'I 'I 'I 'I 'II 'I 'I 'II 'I 'II 'I 'I 'I 'I 'I 'I 'I 'I 'I 'I 'I 'I 'I 'I I I I --Roberta Mullin, '57 I I I 1 I I tjLsLegyLnLsnQ-w-weswehqweigienigfgQgf+Q-?Ji4Q4Q4f-?JQjQjQjijqj 109
