The darkness creeping across the sky, the deep roll of thunder and the sudden streak of lightning are the warnings of a thunderstorm. To many, it 1s.a welcome relief from the hot, dry weather. Then, like a hand zlpping open the heavens, the rain pours down, drenchlng the land and quenching its thrist. As quickly as it started, it ends, A, rainbow, with all its magnificent colors, arcs across the blue above. Fresh plants burst through the earth, starting a new life. The flowers, dripping with glistening rain, seem to freshen before your very eyes. The delicate perfume 'of each individual flower fills the air, The trees and their leaves appear to shake themselves of the rain, making a little shower of their own. A walk after the rain is certainly breath-taking.. To fill your lungs with the sweet, clean air is inspiring, But, there is always a bad side. Rain causes floods. The water sweeps over the land, destroying anything in its path. Homes and wilde stock are lost, and people are left stranded on some roof, waiting to be rescued. Even so, rain is necessary and without it there would be no growth or vegetation on earth. .But the number of good things will, in time, overcome the bad. l y g Alice sect '44 K

' AI had my bearin's an' figgered I must be somer'es near Ol' Mose's cabin. Accordin' to some 0' the ol' folks, Ol' Moss was a 'sistant to the devil himself so I begun to get a mite fluttery under my belt. V Purty soon I see the light o' his cabin so I snuck up an' tuck a look through his window. Oli Mose,was a chantin' some little ditty an? ever? once in a while he'd grab up one 0' the pins that lay on the bench beside him an' stick it into somepin'. Thinking to get a better view, I snuck around to the other side of the cabin anf what I saw brought the hair right up stiff on my head. , , Ol' Mose had a likeness o? Jedge Granberry an' as he said some awful words, he?d grab up a pin an' sticky it somer'es in the Jedgeo' I Yllow he were sayin' the'Lord's Prayer backwards but I ainlt right sure. Anyhow, after hefd done that fer a while, he ups and lets an awful yell out o' him an' jabs a murdirous lookin? needle right into the heart o the dummy. 'I took out o' there like I had sprouted wings, an' after a good deal o' stumblin' 'round, found my way home. 1 . I kep' my eyes n' ears open the nex' day, and, sure 'nough, there began to be whispered fround 'that Ol' Jedge Granberry was deeds Seems one of them nosey black men had heard nf awful commotion in the Jedgeis room.g As he peeked through the keyhole? a sights to curdle his blood spread before' him. Cominf from the ceilinls was a ghastly blue light all filled with little yellow things, and them little things 'ud come jab into the Jedge an' then disappear.l Over in the corner was 'mother light, kind o' pale, and right in the middle was Ol' Moses' face, all agrin with wicked glee. He kep' a chantin' till fin'lly a great big yellow thing came crashing like a thunder bolt right into the Jedgefs heart. ' That nigger run screamin' down the stairs, an! when the doctor got to Jedge Granberry he was so full o' holes they had to burry him fthout no funeral. , I - ', Ever since then ever'body's steered clear o' Ol' Moses' cabin, and there can't nobody tell me there hain't no sech thing as witchin'. e . - ' Beatrice Lyford 'hh There was a ruler in Italy ' Who ruled his people bitterly. When the Yanks got there, My! What a scare! Now Mussolini doesn't rule Italy. Priscilla Stevens 'hh K 1 , ,

X - WHAT I WISH I WERENYT I am a plus sign, and I am used Cmisusedl in every branch of mathematics:algebra,arithmetic and Miss Treworgyfs class. For xinstance, the- other day a guy named Edwin Treworgy hailed me and samd, WHey, slug, I need you a minute to help do some of this darned algebra that Miss Treworgy asslgned. Come here, will you?W ' So'I went over, and if he didn't have the worst mess of numbers, letters and minus signs you ever saw, I'll erase myself. Then came the job of changing places with some of the minus signs fthey are my enemies, you knowl. Working together we finally got an answer though, so that shows how important I am. y You know, it'sv funny, the places some people can find to put me. Someone usually puts me where a times'sign should be or vice versa, Of course, when he does that, I like to get revenge, so I hide half of me so that all he sees is a 'minus sign. Boy, that gets 'em every time. Once in a while I really get angry and I wait until the person has an exam coming up. Then do I have fun! I haven't any conscience, so it doesn't make me feel bad to cause any- one to lose a few points. I could go on and on telling about my experiences, but there is a paper shortage so Wthat's all there is, there is no more.W - . r Edwin Treworgy 'L7 AINfT A p I I'm that little fellow that lives down Bad English Ave- nue, Yes, sir, I'm Ain't. Being very' popular with, the school boys and girls and most grown ups, too, I don't take a great deal of rest. Ifm always invited out but only stay at one place a few minutes because I must keep all of my appointments. First I go to the home of MT. Theme and then perhaps to Mrs. ESShy or MissvHistory Article. I usually make myself much at home and strangers know me well by the time I leave. Yes sir, I'm all over the place in no time, Gee Whiz! You know there's something that has ,been bothering me though. It's got on my nerves. I 'must tell you about it. Maybe you'll help me. There is one group of people that has it in for me. This group is the English teachers. Goodness knows I hate to see them coming. They will mark me up with a red crayon, cross me out, and then I hear them give the kids o1d'heck' for associating with meg Would you take that? No, sir, I bet you'd put up a k1ckQ
