LITERARY [Continued] Katrinka decided on her next move, dinner. Katrinka began dinner with caesele and ended with the favorite—schtrudel. Ru¬ dolph had not had such variety of German food since his Mama passed away. Having within his limits all he could contain, he was contented to relax and talk. “Ach. Katrinka! If but I could have you gife me such vunderful food efery Sunday I vould be in Hefen. Such kuhoos, id was so ligd I thought it vould rice up und go! Katrinka, thinking a little headway was made, answered blushingly: “Gowan Rudolphie, such foolizh zaying. I vouldn’t doubt iff you zaid dot to efry girrl who gifz you zomting to eat!” “Katrinka,. you knows I know no odder girl, I like as much as you. For not only haff you mon ... I mean charms, but you can cook like a anchel. Vhat more could a man vant?” “Yeh, yeh, vhat else, Rudolphie? prompt¬ ed Katrinka, for she had nearly reached her objective. In her eagerness, she por¬ trayed a very attractive picture in the eyes of Rudolph. She was rather small and plump, and her black hair was braided quaintly around her head. The excitement had put red roses in her cheeks, and her eyes had a strange glow. “Katrinka, my dear, ve—ve—haff knowd each other a long time, and I haff growed very fond of you. Vould I have a chance if I asked you to marry ...” “Why, Rudolphie, it iz zuch a zurprize. I never dreamed you taught of zuch tings. Of course I vill marry you! She rushed over to Rudolphie, who had nearly burst with joy at the answer. To herself Katrinka thought, “I only hope he vill last longer than the lazt vun!” . „ —Anne Yewusz, X-17. My Little Wooden Shoes I have a pair of wooden shoes From Holland, far away; They are painted red and white and blue To make them bright and gay. They seem to tell a story Of those people over there. Who have such different customs And such lovely yellow hair. They tell about the peasants, And the tulips which they grow, About their neat and tidy wives Whom I should like to know. They tell about their children, Of that land so far away, Who wear their little wooden shoes To go to school each day. These little shoes tell many things; Some sad, and others gay; But most of all, they tell me Holland’s where I’ll go some day. —June Horne, Room XI-13. “THE JOKER” It had been a very dull physics period, indeed, that Mr. Grusz had been conducting with XI-4. Archimedes’ principle just didn’t see m to “sink in.” In desperation, the maes¬ tro had finally asked the class, “Well, what does happen when a body is immersed in water?” Was there any answer? Yes, for a voice from the back of the room quickly retorted. “The telephone rings!!” —Doug. Tesch, XI-4. Home and School Association The Lord Selkirk Home and School Association wishes to con¬ gratulate the 1947 Graduating class and wish for them all a pleasant and successful life of service and endeavor.
