Ever smce the f1r st day of school ch1ldren have been abusmg the poor old bu1ld1ng It s a wonder our schoolhouse hasn t balked and refused to let scholars mn but 11fe and learmng must go on, so for 180 days of every year the schoolhouse has been tortured On hot summer days w1ndows were ra1sed, but not slowly They were often surpnsed by groaned as they h1t the top Then rf a shght breeze blew, someone would g1ve lt another Jolt trying to get lt down and the w1ndow creaked and groaned as before Couldn t the students have raxsed and lowered lt slowly? And what about the floors? They have been trodden down for f1ve days a week for the past thirty s1x years unt1l they were almost worn to a sphnter Dxd they compla1n or refuse to be walked on? No they Just grew darker and darker every day w1th rage In the fall students brought ga1ly colored leaves mosses, and 11-lsects to school wh1ch after a certa1n t1me were thrown to the floor where they had to be swept up After a party at the schoolhouse the floor could hardly be seen because of b1ts of cook1es or 1ce cream or scraps of paper Thank goodness they couldn't walk on the ce1l1ng Couldn t the students have been more careful and not stamped the1r feet l1ke roclf crushers'7 And the walls wxth httle messages and notes prmted on them These were wr1tten by the students as they went by to a class for h1s or her fnends to read and answer on the wall also Oh yes let s not forget the doors Why how would we be able to come and go from the bu1ld1ng w1thout doors? But they, too, have been abused Themr faces have been smashed and wr1tten on They have been slammed, yanked and pulled but they absolutely refuse to be pulled from the1r h1nges Couldn t students have enough w1ll power to restram themselves from near ly knock1ng them over when they leave school for a two weeks vacat1on'7 The l1ghts used to be so t1red from overwork when they weren t needed then when we needed them they fl1ckered and went out Could you blame them? The desks, too have had the1r share of rough treatment In1t1als 1n hearts carved on them, m stamns, and ch1pped corners were just a few of the tortures our desks went through Couldn t the students have wr1tten on paper or chewed on the1r f1ngerna1ls'7 12 ' '50 the sudden jolt given them, but did the windows refuse to be raised? No, they just creaked and o . Q . u Q - A little while ago our schoolhouse got a face lifting. She's proud of all of it: her clean walls, wide awake lights, unbroken windows and above all, her scholars. So lets keep her proud. If she's proud, we'll be proud of her, too. Janice Chadbourne '50 M Y PROPERTY The second day of last September I started for school with three nice yellow pencils ink pen and a new bottle of ink When I got to school most of the seats were taken, but I found a little old one with a bent hinge on the desk cover I put my things inside, then went and started talking to a friend Soon the bell rang and I went back to my desk and sat down After the morning exer- cises were over I took one of my pencils and went to class Whenl got back from class I noticed that one of my pencils was gone I d1dn't think much about it but in the weeks that followed when not only the other two yellow ones disappeared but a green pencil with a nice eraser, a red one and a blue one, I thought it was time I did some thinking as to where they were going Now that my own pencils were all gone I got a short green one from my brother and put it on my desk It didn t stay long, for it soon disappeared like the others had I looked around for it and one day in History class I found that a friend had just borrowed it for awhile I took it back and when I left my desk again I let the friend keep it, knowing that he d take it anyway I thought my troubles were to end here, but I was mistaken for my ink followed the pen cils and my desk s bent hinge was soon broken, and the cover was left Just holding to the desk by the other hinge This Just goes to show what some people will do to other people s property Of course I don t mind if someone borrows something from me if they ask first, but when they just take it and never bring it back, besides breaking my things I m going to give it right back by Keep killing my dogs and I ll do the same to your cats Velma Alton BAC KSEAT DRIVERS It s a beautiful day in June and you have just decided to take your family and best girl for a ride out in the country You and your best girl sit in front, and your mother and sister sit in back As you put your foot on the starter, your companions yell out, are you sure 1t's out of gear Don t flood it, and numerous other things But finally you get the motor started and get ready to go As you re backing out of the garage there comes a din of instructions from the back seat, and the one beside you, Cut your wheels this way no that way and watch out for the garage doors, trees, and dog or anything within a hundred foot radius of you Finally you re out on the highway cruising along about forty miles per when simultan eously from the three throats of the car s other occupants to Lookout for that car What car? The one down the road about a quarter of a mile It 1S moving right along and on your side of the road, but he has plenty of time to pull over to his own side before coming anywhere near you But from the noise of your passengers you would th1nk a crash was unavoidable As you near the turning point of your ride you encounter a very long, steep hill Your nerves are racking by this time but you say nothing The car slows down and coughs once and from our passengers come cr1es of Give it more gas, Put it into second Don stall It and other annoying phrases You get to the top of the hill and drive along to the first gas station and step out saying to your companions Since you know so much about driving you can drive home I 11 take the first bus As you stride into the station, you leave the yurls ar puxng as to who will drive home They finally agree and try to start out Hav mny not noticed the gas regxster shows empty they don t get far and come pleading for you to drlve them home 13 . .

I m sure I can't but maybe if we lost our Jamtor for a week and, had to do the work he has to we d wake up and try to help him more 1n the future We could throw our waste paper 1n the waste cans ust as easily as throwing it on the floors, which would save him a lot of extra stooplng Our Janitor has really helped the school a lot during the past years, not only by keeping the school house 1n good condition, but by com1ng to our school soc1a1s and plays To him we are indeed grateful for keeping l1tt1e old Harmony High still standing Erma Brown 49 BARBED WIRE It was a wonderful pasture There was a woven w1re fence with two strands of barbed wire over that, something which no cow could pos sibley get through not even a human be1ng, unless he didn t mind being torn to bits Watchmg the cows graze for a moment, Bob and I came to the conclusion that the beasts were quite docile Not not1c1ng a bull among them, we entered the pasture expectmg to get a better view, wh1ch we did No sooner had we gone with in the fence then we heard a great starnpmg of hoofs My heart sank' Bob only had time to utter two words We'd better then he turned to me or where he expected me to be but I d left a second before and was now hanging on the top strand of barbed wire by my dungarees It was a good thing for me that those two strands weren t charged Mal Boulette 49 14 . . . . . . . , , . . . . , 9 . . . . , .
