IT HAPPENED TO ME Let me tell you of a trip I took immediately after graduating from high school. I went with my French-Canadian guide, lean Baptiste, into the part of Canada known as the Lake-of-the-Woods, so called because of the many lakes in the region, and attempted to find out if the great fish stories which come from there are true or merely figures of the native's imagination. I found out that they were very much the truth and while finding out I had an experience which reminded me of my classmates which I had just left. I took a train from Montpelier to Quebec, where I was to pick up my guide. When I boarded the train I found that I had left my railroad ticket at home. But the conductor had a heart as big as a barn and did not put me off. Thank you, Mr. BARNI-IART, I said as he gave me a sly wink. When nearly in sight of Quebec I heard a hum- hing noise and looked out the train window. I saw a giant dirigible. Probably DE GROFF zeppelin, I thought, as it circled HINER and I-IINER into the air. The loud TINGLEl TINGLEV' of the engine bell then awoke me to the fact that we were pull- ing into the station. A momen later I spied lean and hailed him. When he heard the story of the lost ticket he exclaimed, ZACI'IRICI'I, and laughed long and loud. Then lean explained that he had a friend that he wanted me to meet. UBOYER girl? I wanted to know. Neither, said lean, as he showed me his pet turtle which was to accompany us on our trip. 'lLYKINS? he asked. Not caring for turtles in the least, I prompt- ly told him that he was certainly being a GUMP. The next day we rode to our camp in the Lake- of-the-Woods region. Now I hadn't expected a BAUER of roses upon my arrival but I certainly didn't expect to find what I did. The weather had played havoc with my cabin. There were holes in the roof the size of a pelican's BEEK, the floor boards were loose, and in general it was badly in need of repair. But we came for a rest and were not to be beaten by such a minor calamity. We forgot the damages and while lean went outside and began SHOUPing wood with the axe I had bought from SEARS and Roebuck, I prepared our supper of flapjacks made from that good old Hin- KLE's flour. Once I looked out at lean and he reminded me of the Village BlackSMITH who owned the brawny arms. When supper was ready, lean came in and complained of soreness of his hand from swinging the heavy axe. I looked at his hands for a mo- ment and then exclaimed, Why, that's CI-IAP, MAN. However, his chap did not prevent him doing a good job on the wheatcakes. Later on that evening lean saw what he sup- posed to be a strange bird and called my atten- tion to it. I gave it a good look and immediately exclaimed, Why that's a ROBIN, SON, and chided .lean for his stupidity. Early the next morning I awoke and prepared to do battle with the wily fish of the lake. The weather was very RAINY but I didn't care and immediately ran down to the BEACH to give the lake the once over. The water was being Mc- EANNed by a light breeze which sent tiny ripples upon the sand shore. It looked alright to me so I rushed back, awakened lean, and we headed for our favorite fishing grounds. I recognized the spot before we came near it and couldn't resist a lusty HDARR it isl When we dropped anchor Iean knocked his reel overboard and very quickly said things contrary to the BIBLE. It was BARTLEY your fault and BARTLEY mine, I explained. I didn't fasten it securely to your rod. After an hour of no marked success we opened our lunch of CLARK, O HENRY, and HERSHEY bars and refreshed ourselves. Immediately after lunch I changed baits and on the first cast hooked a big one. I could have COPEd with it better on LAND but after a long and bitter struggle I got him up next to the boat where with his BAER hands lean pulled him in. It turned out to be an enormous Pike, weighing over fifty pounds. It was then that lean looked upward. Black clouds were rolling across the sky. lean was known as a very WISe MAN so he exclaimed, WALLACE get out of here. Sure SINES of a storm, he shouted as he attempted to start the MOTTER. No sound came from it save a few short coughs. That was when we RADLEY needed a motor. A fine time for it to STAI-IL on us, I muttered as I began to thing of GREGG yards and imagine I heard GABRIELS trumpet and think what a KRILL, KRILL world this is. Finally it started and we sped for camp. As the boat ap- proached the shore lean leapt from it with my prize and shouted, PARKER beneath a tree, and hurried to the cabin. When I joined them there I found he h-ad sup- per, which was a MIXTER of fish and BROWN bacon, waiting for me. While I was eating, a bone became lodged in my throat. HKAUF, MAN! KAUF, MAN! he shouted, as he pounded me on the back. When I was BRIM full of fish I called it a day and retired to my bunk, thinking what a RICH MOND I am. By the way, I still have the head of that mighty fish and if you will only come up to my GARRETT some day I will gladly show it to you. O'CONNELL you under- stand what I have been talk- ing about? I have tried to WEAVER my experiences into an interesting tale for you. I hope you like itl TDGR 0'COnne11 DCIU O'C0l'1!1eII Page 20

COURSES OF STUDY IN MONTPELIER HIGH SCHOOL Intellectual capacity is increased through many and varied channels. Our school offers five avenues of approach by which the student may choose that which seems to best fit him for his chosen career, an innovation of the modern school system. From the prepared chart, one may easily see what is provided in each course and justify the selection. We know those who follow in the classical or science field will be the potential adminis- trators of the professional and technical world. For those whose circumstances or inclinations do not allow specific training, We have the general course which will equip them suitably to become good citizens and loyal members of their community. lf you strive to business heights, you may successfully acquire nearly all that is needed for an initial step in the commercial field. ' No longer do we use the hit or miss formulae for the perpetuation of home life but through scientific experiments and formulae we are enable to take the guess work out of living and in this Way make the World a better place in which to live with training offered through the Smith-Hughes and Home Economic Departments. -lane A. Bible STATE INSPECTOR APPROVES SCHOOL Following a recent inspection of Montpelier High School by F. M.
