Socrates . . . asset QFD during literary staff meetings . . . headed for the medical profession . . . unpredictable. How vividly I recall the time my brother and I performed a crude operation on a small garter snake. After administering an anesthe- sia Cwith a shovel handlel we proceeded with the operation. After the instruments were ster- ilized and laid out as they would be needed, we stretched out our patient upon the operat- ing table-an old fence post. As an added pre- caution we secured his tail with an ice pick. After liberating a cramped toad, which was in the snake, we grew weary of the stench and tedious work, and suspended the operation.

It was quite an eventful day for my brother and me when we received our shiny new bicy- cles. After some help I was able to ride around the yard alone. I thought I could ride quite well, so we decided to have a race. At the end of the lane my bicycle decided it didn't want me any more. I and my bicycle both tumbled down, a sad looking sight.

It was just another of those days for a four- year-old girl. I was on my way to the next farm to get the milk for Mother. I usually crossed the meadow, but for some reason I took the road that day. Alas, just as I started, two large red fire engines came screaming to- ward me. I was so frightened that I turned around and ran as fast as I could, right back to Mother's arms. She went for the milk that evening.

All went well that day when my brother and I rode the ponies, that is, until we started home. Even though the pony was old she could really go. I soon realized that she had the bit between her teeth and that my saddle was loose. Next I found myself beneath the pony. Then after her back hoof caught me in the jaw, I hit the earth. I was scared. The pony ran to the barn. I walkedf' RHODA JOY GLICK Smoketown, Pa.

During my third or fourth summer, my uncle and aunt and their family visited us one day. After we cousins had been talking about our goat for a short time, I told him I'd teach him to milk it, if he wanted me to. Upon his consent, I was soon on my way to the pasture after the goat. I explained the technique to him and in a short time he also had his Engers sticky with milk. That afternoon two profes- sional milkers scampered back to the house.

Some of the most outstanding school-day happenings which I still remember are the times when we went hiking. We liked to dis- cover and observe new things in nature. One time two of us girls went ahead of the big group, trying to discover which way two other boys had gone. They had left signs showing which way they had traveled. At the lake all of us went wading and played games.

One Sunday morning, when I was quite small, I decided that I was tired of sitting on ordinary benches, so when my parents were not watching I left them. I went straight up the aisle and sat on the pulpit bench. It fell my brother's lot to come up and bring me back. After a few unsuccessful attempts he led his laughing little brother backlto his seat. ? i 1 l ANNA LOIS GRAYBILL East Earl, Pa. I.

One event that stands out in my girlhood memory is the time when we journeyed to Missouri. We had traveled there to attend the wedding of my brother. As a ten-year-old, I thought how wonderful it was to visit Mark Twain's home in Hannibal. I also remember the fact that we had so many teachers in grade school. In fact, we had a different teacher each year from grades one to eight. But I suppose the old saying, 'Variety .is the spice of life,' is true. ' V ANNA LOIS GOOD Routel Columbia, Pa.

On my fourth or fifth birthday, Papa came home with a new tricycle. Although it was my bedtime when he arrived, I had to try out my new vehicle in the kitchen. My parents, hav- ing decided I should go to bed, thought they could terminate my play by turning out the light. To their amazement I kept riding to and fro in the dark, singing, 'I will guide thee with mine eye,' a song I had learned in Sunday school.
