f f I CREATIVE COMPOSING From the simple beginnings of letter and word recognition and learning to write their names legibly students acquire a basic writ- ten vocabulary that grows and develops as years of training feed their receptive minds. Second graders begin developing self-ex- pression in their writing by writing in their own words summaries of books and stories they have read. Progressing through the elementary grades, more emphasis is placed on using accurate, concise, descriptive words. Assignments not only include traditional grammar but also spontaneous writing assignments which stim- ulate constructive thinking. Junior High School students reinforce their previous training with creative writing in re- search papers dealing with history, science, and literature. Additional opportunity for high school students with journalistic interests are the school publications. The Hi-Lites, school paper, is a credit course offered to graduating seniors but with contributions solicited from all the student body. The Diplomat is the school yearbook open to high school students as an extra-curricular activity.

Africa I have iust goten off a boat and now I am travling in a ieep. I an traveling in the Sahara Desert. I can see Cairo now. The people wear very colorful clothes here. We are traveling at a pretty fast rate because it is very hot in the desert. We see alot of animuls. Right now I see a man on a Camel. We hope we will not run out of gasoline .There are alot of sand dunes peeking up here and there. Now we are going across a bridge. Under the Bridge is the Nile River. In the distance we see a little hump. We come closer and closer. Now we know whut it is. Its Job'z Great Pyrumid. It is big- ger thun I thought. Now we see a fewer Ostriches. We go for many miles. Now we are going into the grasslands. The first animal we see is a giraffe. All of a sudden the driver stopped short. Why did you stop , I asked him. Then he pointed. I saw what it was.

It is the longest desert in the world. ln Africa they have different kinds of animals. You can see tall short people. They are called Egyp- tians. Job built a Great Pyramid. lt is the biggest Pyramid, It is a thing where kings get in it when they are not living. When you go on grassy land you can see ele- phants. Also when you see things in Africa, you can see Egyptians. Geva Dutton My Trip to Antarctica I went to Antarctica in summer. I saw these animals: penguins, blue whale, weddell seal, killer whale. They use a submarine and a airplane. There is a lot of pack- ed ice down there. Richard Byrd was the 6th one to go down there. Most of the ice burgs are 50 miles wide Capt. Robert F. Scott was the lst one to go down there. Most of the animal have to fly or swim. There are some ice bergs down there. Antarctica is a continent on the South Pole. They were building a Scientist Station. The End -Scott Smith Feb. 10, 1966 Exploring the Iceland Antarctica is like a world of ice. Ninety-five persent of the world's ice come's from Antarc- tica. Poeple live down there, Scien- tist's. They have a scientist station. Man doe's not know how much ice is down there, but it reache's farther than the United State's. There is animal life there too, seal's, penguim's, 81 whales, Capt. Scott was first to land on Antartica. Richard Byrd was the sixth one. And now Antartica is a world of ice lust on-to-of the sea.-Barbara Ellis Feb. 10, 1966 A trip with Admirle Byrd As we were preparing for a flight to thee antarcti I was think- ing this will be the sixth trip to the antarcarcti. When we landed it was mid- summer but still 25 below. When it was time to go as I recall the ice on the windshield 3 inches thick. We stayed there no longer than I hour. Since, we have learned that MY RABBIT by David Rothwell Second Grade I had a little rabbit Who had a bad habit He eats too much cabbage And eats like a savage He is rude at the table To make him quit I'm no So he remains rude But always in a good mood A Pet That Had to Die Once our family had a cat. One day mom and I went out into the garage and heard a squeaking noise. The noise was of kittens that the cat had had. The kittens were about 3 inches long a 1 inch wide. They were cute. When the kittens were pretty old, the cat was doing things craz. Dad said that she should not live, so we were scheduled to take her to the pound. We took her in a box, where she was cozy enough to be satisfied. The wind was blowing, and that was what she liked. When we got there, we looked at many animals, Finally it was time for her to die. We saw them put her in her cage and saw them put her to sleep. Dad said that that was all we needed to see, so we left. at home, we cried. John Flynn Jan. 27, 1965 t able nothing lives there except it can fly ore swim. Some ice borgs were 100 miles long. Also the largest animal on earth lives there- the blue whale, It is biger than all dinnasors it gets to be 100 feet long and 125 tons in weight. In the center of antarctica it gets to 145 below zero! It is the coldest place on earthe and ant- orctica is bigger than the united states! -Kenny Rothwell Feb. 10, 1966
