12 THE SHIPBUILDER GR.-XTITUDE One cloudy day we were very quiet. hut the delicious smell of a rice cus- tard hroke the stillness of a gloomy Saturday. Mother was humming hap- pily making it. For me, my mouth was getting very moist. After I got it. I started eating very rapidly. My sister asked me for some, I thought a minute and said to myself, XYhy should I share it with her, Then something inside of me seemed to say, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. So I gave it all to her. I felt very much happier af- terwards. -Iohn Comes, Grade VI IYHO IS THE Most ronular girl? Ruth Knapp Most ropular hov? Ilill Hanson Rest dressed girl?

THE SHIPBUILDER 11 mine-bordered wrap of the King, all play their part in this scooping drama of true life. The directing was carefully planned if one may judge by the smoothness with which the picture progresses and the photography is beautiful: each background is accurately studied as to appropriateness and its aid to the dis- tinction of important characters. The picture starts with the persecu- tion of his second wife, Anne Boleyng the first one, Catherine or Aragon, be- ing omitted because she was too good and therefore uninteresting. Begin- ning with his third wife we follow the King through his other four marriages leaving him happily eating cihickeng his sixth and last wife had forbidden him to eat it because of his age. Here again we see an example of excellent costuming. The transformation of the young King into the old, brings out to the best advantage the modern abil- ity of the art of making-up. This picture would have a definite appeal to some people while it would be deadly revolting to others: the mere mention of the name King Henry would be enough to send them in the opposite direction. XYhile going down the isle of the theatre I overheard a man saying, I think they could have added a little more of the political problems of the reign and taken out some of the divorces and head-cut- tingsf' Ile may have been right but I doubt that many would agree with him. Of course the major policies adop- ted during his reign would have some influence on his home life, but if his entire existence were shown including his private and social activities, the pic- ture would have been much too long. However it seems as though a happy medium could have been reached show- ing a few of the measures adopted and their immediate effect upon England: this would have furnished material for some very beautiful scenes and would have rounded out the picture consider- ably. F. NELSON THE CARE OF MY RABBIT My rabbit is kept in a box built to protect him from the rain and cold. It is well ventilated and easily cleaned. It is at least three feet long and a foot and a half wide and high. The ends of the box are draft proof and the floor is raised above the ground. A sleeping apartment is partitioned off at one end and is bedded down with fresh straw or hay. My rabbit has an outdoor run made of fine-mesh wire set into the ground at least two feet to prevent him from burrowing out. I feed him hay, clover, cabbage, and especially' carrots. I thing he likes the way I care for him. Geraldine Dowd, Grade VI A VERY EXCITING NIGHT Ship Ahoy! Bill was asleep in his bunk when he heard the cry. In a minute he was on deck. He heard a shot. and a shell whistle over his head. He gave orders quietly. Ready! Aim! Fire! .Xnd Boom! XYent the three inch gun. XYe heard a shout, YVe surrender, .-Xmeriean! I came from the other boat. IVe lowered life boats and in half an hour they came back. The boats were fill- ed with men. NYe had sunk the larg- est boat in the German Navy and had captured five hundred and fifty-one men. XYhen we got into port, Bill received a medal and the titled of .-Xdmiral. XValter S. Crane
