What would you do? There wasn t much tzme to think for I was less than a hundred feet from the train Would you jump out and try to save your lxfe and let the truck go, or would you turn to the left? There was a bank on that side You might roll over, or would you turn to the right and go on a lawn where some trees were and a house not far away? Well you had better thmk quick for that hundred feet is getting short and a train is in front of you About thzrty feet from the train and gomg about fxfteen mxles an hour and gaimng speed No t1me left to think I turned the truck right and went out on the lawn and missed a tree and stopped a httle ways from the house I was stopped ahd all right I backed off the lawn and tram moved and I went on How is that for luck? I wasn t afraid until the next day when the tram was ln town again John Cobb 49 THE RUNAWAY When I was small, I used to run away and h1de and make everyone look for me I have given my folks some pretty good scares, but the one I remember clearly is the time I hid 1n the hen house and got scared myself It was a hot day in J'uly and I wanted to go swin'u'n1ng My mother told me I couldn because a thunder shower was coming up When she told me th1s I was mad but I d1dn't say anythmg, instead, I went out and hid 1n the hen house behind the hen roost I could hear mother callmg for me to come in for now It had begun to rain There were loud claps of thunder and lmghtemng that lighted up the whole sky I got up and sat on the hen roost and listened to her ca.rne afraid of the lightening and thunder, knowmg that I was outdoors all alone I got down off the hen roost and went to the door and looked out I began running toward the house, I was about half way when a flash of lightning came and loud thunder followed I turned around and ran back to the hen house closing the door behmd me I chmbed back on the hen roost and put my hands over my face so I couldn't see the lightning I don't know how long I sat there but it seemed l1ke a very long t1me to me I d1dn t pay much attentzon to the shower for I d1dn t dare look out the hen house w1ndow The afternoon wore away as I sat there on the hen roost I leaned back agamst the top roost and closed my eyes When the door opened and my mother came 1n, I opened my eyes just enough to see who was coming, then closed them tight aga1n as she p1cked me up and carried me mto the house She didn t say anything to me about it for she knew I had learned my lesson and I really did, too, for never again did I hide or ru.n away Velma Alton 50 FISHING A ra1ny day is a perfect day for fishing Ralph, Phyllis Albert, and I had planned to go fishing one Saturday morning and of course it had to rain We st1ll dec1ded that a ra1ny day wouldn t spoil our plans Of course we like to eat so we had some food w1th us By the time we had reached the pond it was not ra1n1ng as hard so we thought sure lt would stop For about 17 , . . .

THE MOST UNFORGETTABLE CHARACHTER I KNOW My most unforgettable character is my grandfather He is a tall big man who all his life has been a hard working man ready to lend anyone a helping hand The Irish Just rings from h1s laughter and beams from his eyes I say eyes, but he has only one eye that really twinkles the other 1S art1f1ca1 wh1ch, with much practice, he has learned to control easily and naturally He lost his eye when hit by a pellet from a B B gun When he was about middle aged he decided to have a business of his own so with a can of paint and paint brush he painted signs which read Beans baked in the ground for sale At once business started pouring in He later built a larger place to sell his beans because business was so great Still later he built a tourist stop and restaurant Then after a nu.mber of successful years he finally had to slow up because of 1ll health Still Grandfather McClain was never contented unless he was working at something Year after year he kept up his farming growing beautiful gardens each year He brought up a large family and even after that, he took it upon himself to bring up a grand daughter He now l1ves on a lar ge hill in Harmony with my grandmother who, if I told you about her, would make another story He also has two dogs and if I told you about them, they would make another story, too I still remember how I used to sit by the fire on cold winter nights and hsten to tne stories grandfather used to tell of the old days If you ever meet him I think you too will agree that he is one of the most unforgettable characters that you have ever met Leo Mitchell 51 ABUSE OF SCHOOL PROPERTY The bell has rung everyone, including the teachers has gone to lunch Everything 15 quiet, then, Wham What? Oh, just an eraser goin through the a 1' Silence C11ck chalk Snap Bang What could that have been? Oh, no Sozr bod brol e my back groaned one seat Who tripped and knocked me over? demax d a second seat An mno cent little seat across the aisle replied It was Dick who did it I saw him He doesn t obey orders like a good pupil does he? You know there are a lot around here just like Dick, they never do as they should If a teacher should ask them to act llke grown ups they would just be all the s1ll1er Some have a terrible attitude don t you think so? Oh quiet I hear footsteps in the hall oh it s Just a girl a girl? Yes but you couldn t tell by looking from the waist down Don t you think slacks should be worn somewhere else besides at school? I guess some people Just don't care about their personal appearance They don t care about us either look at me I look like a leopard all spotted with ink I ve been dug here and there with penc1ls and other objects Some people around here don t have the slightest idea what co operation means if they do they don t show 1t Why do those people bother to come to school anyway?
