- 15 - After we had finished our refreshments Jack Frost showed us his castle. It was very beautiful. Jack then showed us his garden. Flowers that looked like white roses, flov ers like daffodills. Oh I What a beautiful sight. We sighted a bench and stopped to rest, for we were tired. Jack told us about snowf lakes , ICou know droplets of rain are formed vrhen the water from streams, lake, puddles, and the sea evaporates. This cycle goes on during the year and finally when winter rolls around these tiny droplets freeze. When they freeze, they become the tiny snovrf lakes we see. No two are the same. As the snowf lakes fall they cover roofs, church spires, fence posts, and other normal everyday objects and transform them into visions of beauteous joy, Jack took us home again and it was hard to say good-bye, but he promised to visit us again. Good-bye. Good-bye. Jack floated away, and we watched ' till he was out of sight. My, but it was nice to get back into bed and snuggle down Jack Frost helps form this beautiful scene. He paints our windows with his paint box of particles of the rainbow. He breathes on the window and, before it can fade away, he quickly paints on his designs. If you awaken early on a cold morning, you will find bis pretty pictures of castles, fairies, and dragons which offer much enjoyment. Maureen Latler Prep, 6 Age 11.

If I were a settler, I would come across the ocean in a boat. I v ould call it the Mayflower . It would have a large crew, and the group of settlers also. The village we made would be called Plymouth. We would have log cabins and in the winter they would be very cold. In time, the village would grow larger. We would often be attacked by Indians. If they burned down the houses, we would go to the ship for safety. Emanuel Jannasch Prep. 3 Age 8. THE FOUR SEASONS In early spring, it may rain, and then freeze. And in autumn the leaves fall from the trees. In summer the leaves are green, In winter nothing can be seen. George Clarke Prep. 3 Age 8. THE SVJORD Many years ago there was a boy called Peter. He lived in a small house with his grandfather xn the land of Drag. One day a king declared war on the king of Drag. The King needed many men to help him in battle against his enemy, but Peter ' s grandfather would not let him go, so Peter ran away to join the army. On the way to join the army he found a magic svjord in a scabbard. He joinea the army and went through training easily; then the day came when they went to battle, Peter had never yet been hurt. He wont to battle and killed at least 20 people, with his wonderful sword. When Peter came back, he was made a general in the army. Then he went out to war again. When he returned, he found out that the King had died. The people made Peter king, and he ruled the country fairly, Matthew Burnstein Prep, 3 Age 9.
