THE WALL STREET CRASH The day was warm and bright. Now and then a cool breeze rippled through the trees. The village was quiet except for the low conversation of the shopkeepers. Down the dusty road came Mickey, whistling loudly as if to announce his coming. HHey, Nickey,W someone cried, Ncome here a minute.W Mickey walked across the street and planted himself in front of the village postmaster. HYou want me?H he inquired pleasantly. NUell,H the postmaster replied, dragging the words out as slowly as possible, Wsome rich stockbroker is going to move into the big house on the hill, and he wants a boy to tend the lawn for him. Do you think you might want the job?N WSure thing,H cried Mickey, Hhow much do I get?H The postmaster grinned, HA dollar a week, you little rascal. what are you doing with it all?H WAh, gee, I don't know. How long is he staying?N HNine- ten weeks, he wasn't sure.H HOh boy, wait until I tell the kidstn That night Mickey had all his plans made. Thinking them over, he smiled happily. A dollar a week for nine weeks would add nine dollars to his life savings of seven dollars. And sixteen dollars would buy the blue bicycle that was in the window of Steven's hardware store. It would be his very own, which he himself had bought. He pictured himself riding proudly down the street. He would let his friends ride it, he assured himself, but he would be very fussy as to who were his friends. After all, a fellow with a bicycle was pretty special. One day as he was strolling through the center of the little village, he saw the postmaster frantically beckoning to him. Think- lng, perhaps he was going to tell him when the man was going to move in, he crossed the street whistling merrily. An hour or so later, Hickey's mother saw her son sitting on the back porch. He looked as if he had lost his last friend. NNickey, dear,n she asked, Hwhat is the trouble?H The boy stood up, lifted his arms in a gesture of despair, and sighed. Hwall Street has ruined me. That rich fellow that was going to move into the big house on the hill went broke.N Bernice Neumann, '45 A CURVE IN THE ROAD We met at a curve in the road There seemed to be room for us all The day was bright, the road was broad, We heard the future call. we have passed the curve today, The road AHEAD is RIGHT The time has passed for play Virginia Benton, '43 We have strength- our hearts are light.

Once there was a bo NY HOBBY: GUNS when guns were first made in the early days, they were shot by using a flint and a hammer connected to one side of the gun. A little later a flint was not needed, and these guns were successful They were made of wood and metal. The powder was put in the gun by a stick with a small piece of cloth at the end of it. This type of gun, called a musket, was used in the Revolutionary War. There were guns guns that were made in very heavy and crude. in the old days. They is the back of the gun there is a metal piece inserted. after that which did not need a flint.

It shoots five bullets without reloading. There is another rifle that shoots twenty bullets. The shells fly out of the gun as it is shot. This is done by a piece of wood which is connected just below and also beyond the trigger. THE, ,BOY AND HIS GAR Teddy Smith, Grade 7 APRIL HEATHER It was a sunny April day, 1 Y . His name was Bob.
