36 Tl-IE. PELHAM PNYX ON GRADE IX NAMES By Lilly Kinach, GRADE IX MINOR Brown rode over the Hill into the Dell. He soon came to some Brooks where the bridge was caved in over a small branch ofthe Fraser River. He thought that he could cross as the water was not deep, but as this was the thirteenth day ofjune, an unlucky day, he got stuck. Let's hire a Hague and she will pull us out, said Junior Brown. The Hague was procured but she was too weak to pull, but she gave some good advice, A Tokar can eas- ily be obtained! Minor Brown phoned HeinriCh's Garage from Staley's home. The Tokar soon arrived but with much diHiculty the car could not be pulled out. The Leppert driver began to cuss, Mosley me, this car weighs a Morton, I cannot pull her out. Junior Brown began to cry, But you'll have to for I Whan a go home. As it was getting dark a Lampman was fetched to light the way and soon pulled the car to dry land. Brown paid the full sum CFulsomD and said, You are a Weller and not an Ulman by helping me out so much. And the Leppert replied, And you, my good man, are not a Misener but a Goss by being so generous as to give me a tip. Minor Brown and Junior thanked the Leppert and went on their way. They neared the village where they lived and soon rode beneath the Bauer, which was the entrance to the estate. As soon as they stepped down from the mud covered Car they made ll dash for the pantry. They were very hungry and quickly ate some Burnham, Crowe Pie and other Bradley Specials. Minor Brown cleaned the mess up with a Bissell sweeper and Junior began to play with a Shaughnessy Dahl which he called Gordon. ,fl-7,7 aifmf f,r .gs .ii pm L 'Qs Qu fenfaefr X, 'hell -'7 A W R TJ .

My Adventure with a Peasant Woman as told by King Alfred By Arnold I-Ieinrichs, GRADE ix xX7HEN the Danish invaders were victorious against mv arinv I had to flee and hide. In the woods I met a peasant who proved to be loyal to nie and who took nie to his hut. Gf course I was in disguise and he didn't tell his wife who I was. She didn't think anything of me but went on with her baking. The woodsman went out to spv on the Danes. Soon after the woman went out to gather tireivood and asked me to mind the cakes while she was out. I consented to do this because I was hungry. I soon became so absorbed in making arrows for my bow and thinking about my scattered army that I completely forgot the cakes. All at once I smelled something burning and before I knew what had happened the woman was at me and was boxing my ears. Then she commenced scolding me and calling me all sorts of names. I doubt if she would have been so hasty about scolding nie if she had known my real identity. However I took my scolding, gathered my bow and arrows and left, resolved to beat the Danes at any cost.

THE PELHAM PNYX 37 BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF AEROPLANES By Joyce Gordon, GRADE IX ONE SUNNY summer morning, if you had been paying any particular at- tention at all to the bird activities in the old orchard, you would have seen Mr. Carrier Pigeon, the rural mailman, reluctantly stopping at every single nest on the route to deliver an important looking blue envelope. Well, seeing you apparently weren't looking at that particular moment, I will let you in on what those important looking blue envelopes contained. First of all there was an important looking blue card on which was neat- ly printed: ALL MEMBERS OF THE ORCHARD LADIES' AID ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO COME AND BRING THEIR FAMILIES TO A SPECIAL MEETING RoR THE DISCUSSION or AERGPLANES, AT THE NEST OF MRS. JUDGE CHRISTOPHER ROBIN, AT 1:50 P.M. Well, that alone was enough to bring scores of bird folk, but another little notice below which read: HREFRESHMENTS WILL BE SERVEDH seemed to settle the matter, and everyone planned to come. Jenny Wren took a bath in Eau de Feather, and Sally Swallow, another gay belle, smothered herself in Cherry Blossom Powder. Grandmother Sparrow and all the English Sparrow Clan piled into the old flock formation and sailed over to the old apple tree, the home of Mrs. Robin. When the sparrows go any place they chatter so much that the noise tells everyone when to come. As a result the birds soon arrived by the tens and dozens. ' Mrs. Robin opened the meeting, and after a few minor details, moved that the rest of the meeting be set aside for the discussion of aeroplanes. Sat- ah Martin seconded it, and at once the juniors all broke out into a wave of conversation but were soon pounced on by their elders, and the tree was quiet once more. judge Christopher Tobias Robin, began Chrysanthemum Canary, I would like you to state your opinion on the various collections of flying ap- paratus known to the human race as aeroplanes. The Judge wiped his spectacles thoughtfully and tried to hide a smile, for Mrs. Canary greatly amused him by het flowery phrases. Finally he spoke, Well, Mrs. Canary, I think that it is just another of those foolish human inventions to try and copy some other creatures' original ideas. Well, gasped Jenny Wren, jumping up with such violence that it knock- ed her bonnet off, It seems to me that those men-things are always copying every peaceful, law-abiding creatures' notions. How would they like it if we carried their homes off for science classes, and put nests on wheels and went crashing all over the place? After that violent speech, Jenny fell back exhausted into the appreciative arms of Ned Kildeer who fanned her understandingly. Then up spoke Grandmother Sparrow, The things those men make are only some fool's conception. Those aeroplanes are great, big bulky affairs with a lot of useless gadgets that make a great noise. The whole outfit is the most clumsy affair I've seen in a long time, and believe you me, I've seen a lot of things in my time. All of a sudden Sammyjay broke loose from parental moorings and screech- ed When do we eat? Then all the minors asserted themselves in that respect and confusion reigned. Mrs. Robin wisely said, I think we had better follow Sammy's sug- gestion, as we are all tired of the discussion, so if you'll all just go over to the stone wall, you will find a picnic supper all ready for you.
