The idea of buying a snake came from Troy’s stepfather. He knew the family was afraid of snakes and he wanted to get over this fear. This snake would not bite. In- stead it would squeeze something to death. Its diet consisted of thirteen mice per day. Troy did breed mice for a while to help cut down on the expense of buying them. Soon the cost was too much which caused him to get rid of it. The snake was seven feet long and weighed fifteen pounds before he let it go. Plane flying was a favorite astime for Kelly Car- michael. Two or three years ago Kelly started flying his line controlled plane made from a kit. He flies mostly in the summer and on u ekends in his yard or at a friend’s field. Kelly staned working on another plane in his practical arts class towards the end of school which he hopes to perff by summer. Seventh Grade 15
