This came from Mrs. Blake, the mother of the family of six who-lived in the attractive white house on Piney Lane.I WHey, Mom,W cried the ten-year old Terry, Wwhere in the dickens did you put my old football? The boys and I are gonna play out back for awhile. What?

I halted to gaze into the North at the scene there before my eyes. The forests- lay in darkness, but there to the north, like a rose tinted pearl on an ebony background, was Katahdin, its snow covered sides reflecting the morning sun's rays that had not yet reached the lower levels of the forests. As I stood gazing at this beautiful sight, my mind wandered back to the early Indians, who, too, had stared in awe at Katahdin. To them it was not just a mountaing it was a living, breathing spirit. Hadn't they heard it speak and sigh when the storms roared down its slopes? Hadnft they seen it hurl thunder and lightning from its' summit? They called the spirit in the mountain Katahdin, coming from the words keght or kit, meaning big, and adene, meaning hill. A great many legends grew about Katahdin and have been handed down from generation to generation among the Indians, Perhaps the most authentic known today are those told by the Penobscots, a tribe of the Abenakis, who inhabited this part of the country. This is one of the most popular of the legends. ' e t H Many years ago there lived a beautiful princess named Red Rose. Although she had manylsultors, she chose none of them. One day, an immense Indian came to her and carried her to the mountain, There, inside the mountain, she dwelt happily with Katahdln for many years. By and by a boy and a girl were born. Desiring to show the children to her parents, she begged Katahdin to allow her ,to return to her people. Katahdin said she could go, and before they left, told her that whatever the girl wished would come true, and whatever the boy pointed at would fall dead, V e When they reached the village they found a great famine

? 5i1T i ZVf n f POOR ME Poor mel I'm the little guy that always gets pushed around.' No one ever uses me very much because I am weak, Folks always use my older brothers, Period and Semi-colon,to fill in the big and important lplaces because they -are stronger than I, When someone does use me, he 'tucks me in anywhere, Ifm ,just shoved out of the way or scattered all over the place. I . A Yes, that's rightg I'm a comma,the little guy who isn't there when I should be, ands when I-shouldnft be there, 17m almost anywhere. My real home is in the English book, the only one that ever uses me right, and I seldom go anywhere else. My usual jobs are to connect series in a sentence and to connect principal clauses, but I have various other uses too. A Q p Although I don't suppose I ever will be any more than a comma, my real ambition is to be a strong guy like my older brothers, Period, Semi-colon and Golon. I have some very important relatives too, whose names are Question Mark and Exclamation Point. ' But all we commas are or ever will be are just punctuw ation marks and to most human beings this doesn't mean much, The minute students get out of English class they go pushing us around again as if we didn't have any feeling at all, Oh dear! I suppose I will have to remain the same for- ever, just a poor unimportant guy, ep v 'Q Maurena Stevens '46 r A ess!
