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?
