16 THE MARGARETTA THE MISTAKE 'It all began in a city in the West, or at least that is the way the story goes. It was summer and everything was in bloom. The trees were especially beautiful along the road in the country but not so in the city In the city things were different There were no trees no flowers nor brooks Houses that was all not cozy houses with flower gardens These hous es were seven or eight stones high and crowded together so you couldnt even w alk between them Sally was what all the kids called her She and her mother lived in two rooms on the svcth floor of one of the apartment houses Sally was an ordinary girl about 14 years old with dark hair and brown eyes and was five feet three inches tall I have already said she was ordinary except for one thing she was a Negro Of course that wouldn t make too much difference in some places but in that city in the West it did Things were going hard for Sally and her mother Sally s father had dned when she was ten and her mother had to work hard for a living Fall was drawing near and school would start soon The very thought of school sent a shiver up her back She hated to go there and have the girls and boys laugh at her because she was a Negro On the first day of school things went as they had last year and the year before that Sally went about her studies with out speaking to the others at school Study study was all Sally did The teachers all hked her because she studied so hard and got such good ranks The girls were talking about her She could tell but she didnt bother with them She lust went about her w ork The other girls had formed a club but Sally had not been asked to Join Not that it mattered, anyway, she didn't want to belong to an old club. The days went on. One morning Nan- cy, the leader of the club, came up to Sally, who was surprised to have Nancy of all people speak to her At first Nancy talked about school work and then finally brought up the subject of the club Nancy always had a w ay of beating about the bush before saying what she really want ed to say The girls and I were wondering if you would join our club Of course she hadn t heard right They couldn t be ask ing her to loin their club But then Nancy was speaking again We really wish you would join Sally It was too good to be true' They were really asking her to yoin their club Oh Id love to yoin said Sally too excited to think straight VVe were afraid you wouldn t Join You nexer would speak to us and we thought you didn t like us Oh no I would love to be a member of your club I thought you girls didnt like me because I was a Negro That s w hy I never spoke to you We re haxing a party tonight Sally Why dont you come?

18 THE MARGARETTA WHY THE GIRAFFE HAS A LONG NECK A long time ago when lupiter was king of the earth, there were new animals com- ing into existence every day Once in the country of Syronia a very thick yungle like country 1 strange long legged animal was born This type of animal kept multiplying until there were large numbers of them that traveled in huge herds Now this animal couldnt make any noise and cons erse with the other animals as the rest did All the others had secrets and talked back and forth but this new animal nes er knew anything that was go ing on When the others talked or looked at something he would crane his neck as far as possible to see what was happening This kept on generation after generation until the neck of the animal started to be a bit longer As time went on his neck kept lengthening until he was able to stand a little higher than the others and could look down upon them He dis cox ered that by reaching he could get different food and much better than before The more he reached the longer his neck grew At last he found it uncomfortable in the Jungle because of his long neck ind decided to live in another part of the world. This animal now' has the name of a giraffe. He moved to Africa, south of the Sahara, where he still lives. He is eight- een feet and sesen inches in height H has to straddle his fore legs to drink H eats from the high trees His tongue is sometimes eighteen inches long VIRGINIA Wnvsrow 55 HARMAE Another of upiters many loves was that of Harmae As always uno was very iealous of this beautiful maiden Harmae w as endow ed with a charming voice of which she was xery proud Her voice was so pleasing to uplter that when she sang he w ent into a trance and would punish sex erely anyone w ho dared to speak or interrupt him during the singing As the years w ent on Harmae being a mortal began to grow old and lose her beauty and charm upiter didnt want this beautiful soice to die so he decreed that w hen she died her voice would live oi Upon the death of Harmae Iupiter kept his promise He gaxe her beautiful voice to the birds that it might live on foreser BARBARA CARROIL 55 PQETRY IHV SILIJX HAI L XX here studcnts nun stutlx their books Or whisper ilmout thc littst fuls Xnd txchanf c SlL.llll1LlIll'lUUlxS The few w ho rtallx w int to trx I o 1 ct their horncw ork dont.
