CHRISTMAS EVE It was wonderful, that nice, brisk night, Christmas Eve. It was so lovely being on Beacon Hill, the oldest and nicest part of Boston. just think, every Christmas Eve the persons who live on the Hill let the people from all around come to sing carols and see the lovely creches and Madonna scenes in the windows. When we came out from under the State House arch, it was like going into a heaven with all those lovely scenes, crowds of people singing carols, candles shin- ing in the windows, and snow all about. A5 we went farther down the Hill, there was the nicest street of all. There we stopped the longest to sing. Bell fingers with old English bells played sweet old tunes to our singing. We saw lovely old lamplight lanterns passing by. In the middle of this was a tiny green. In one of the windows we looked down at a big long table with lots of fruit on it and lovely mural paintings in the background. It just seemed out of nowhere. Girls in their party frocks were standing looking out at the crowds. A man near us said, They look like a painting by Sargent. They looked so lovely. On the third floor stood a little girl looking out at us, her silhouette just showing. Her father came to the window and brought her into another room probably saying, Time to go to bed, Betty Ann. Sleep tight so Santa can do his work, because he has to visit many places and I'm pretty sure he will come heref' Walking on we saw lovely creches. The last and nicest thing of all was a pic- ture of Madonna and Child placed against a dark background, and a single rose in a little vase. I Joan Wilson Grade VI Did you ever see a wagon Go down the hill so fast? Bumpity! bump! And every bump it jumps. John Murray Grade I HOW I CARE FOR MY PET I have a canary. He is yellow and white with a little gray spot on his head. He sings to meg Ilike him. I feed him song food and master seed and peas, carrots, and dandelions. He loves his dandelions. I have gotten him tame so he sits on my hand and eats from it. I cover him up at night. He wakes me up in the morning by singing to me. I gave my canary a ba-th yesterday. The first thing he does is to dip his head into the water. Then after his head is clean he very carefully puts his two feet into the water. He flutters his wings and gets very clean. Then he hops out of the water. Betty Crane Grade IV Seventy
