To those whom we have neglected, we would say, be comforted, your turn may come next year.n As one reads NThe Maroonn of 1912, one thinks of the material changes that have evolved in the interim, but as the thoughts and the attitudes of the writers peek through, there appears a basic philosophy that rings true even today, a philosophy which is charac- teristic of our own boys and girls. The esprit de corps is high, attitudes are wholesome, and the thoughts are sincere. It is a good philosophy and one found only in a country of free people. William P. Robbins, Principal 1 8 X X . 111' 1 5' '. fff asff. X J , ,A -fm.4,,,,,,,h'-Msw k-f NWA-ffy ' i:vgj?:fiq ggi 4 ,.,., Q f f War hi? ' 1 Q.-Q 2 i 1 2 Q5 2 l g 1 2 I V :1,m f , L, 1 S-'f ,, - --.

Money for our trip to Washington, D.C., has been raised through many activities. Last fall we sponsored a Community N every Monday night. It was held in the gymnasium. No ight nearly ad ission was charged. Basketball, ping-pong, and dancing were on the program. The seniors sold soda and fudge. Community Night was held until basketball season began. During the year our class ha s had several food sales, on each of which we have made a good profit. Money has also been raised from the Senior Play, from our share in the profits of the 1950 and 1951 yearbooks, and from our other activities during our four years of high school. Money for our graduation announce- ments, for a gift to the school, and for rental of our graduation caps and gowns will be raised when we return from Washington.

The class adviser was Mr. Allen. Plans for the Freshman Initiation were made and it was held on October 6 in the gymnasium. The freshmen were dressed as characters from the comic strip Archie Andrews. Robert Recos was Archie, Carolyn Douthit was Jughead, Clyde Perkins was Betty, Judy Cooper was Veronica, Clarence Young was Reggie, Wayne Elliott was Mr. Weatherbee, Flora Brown and Charlie Perkins were Mr. and Mrs. Andrews, and Lee Cunningham was Miss Grundy. Everyone had fun--even the freshmen! Eva Adams '55 eeeeeeaaeeeeeeeeaeeeeeeeeeeeeeae FRESHMAN CLASS NEWS On September 6, 1950, nine apprehensive freshmen entered Petersham High School.

Our class advisor was Mrs. Phillips. To our grief Freshman Initiation came early in October. It was not as bad as we had been led to believe it would be. It was in the form of an Archie Andrews program. We felt honored when one of our members, Robert Recos, won the program cover contest for the Tri-State Basketball Tournament this year. Flora Brown left school early in November and Clarence Young left early in March, leaving us with seven in our class. The Freshman Sports Dance was held April 6. It was the only activity sponsored by our class this year. Carolyn Douthlt '54 vi' f' f f0 4914, N cy? 09? UHDERCLHSSIHEH fl .. S M ilf?

The seventh grade started the year with the following students: Claire Anderson, Bernard Baldwin, Elaine Banks, Kay Burnham, Richard Hood, Paul LaPo1nte, Robert Mack-Hale, Fredrik Marsh, Charles Pettit, and William Russell. Harriet Dame joined the seventh grade in January. In March Charles Pettit left us because his family moved to another town. The following were chosen as officers of the Civics Club: President, Dorothy Recosg Vice President, Kay Burnhamg Secretary, Marilyn Bryant, Treasurer, Beverly Dorow, Assistant Secretary, Richard Hood, and Assistant Treasurer, Paul LaPointe. Most of the members of the group brought in twenty-five cents a week to save toward the trip which they hope to make when they are seniors. The seventh and eighth grades took part in the Christmas pro- gram by singing nwhite Chrlstmasn and reciting a poem called nThe Night Before Christmasn. At the conclusion of the magazine drive the seventh grade had to spend a period in study and the eighth grade had to entertain the seniors by putting on a skit. These were forfeits we paid because we sold less in the magazine drive than the seniors did. This year we presented our annual one-act play on May 4, in the town hall. It was called The White Phantom. The cast was as follows: Dorothy Recos, Ronald Adams, Elaine Banks, Beverly Dorow, Claire Anderson, Myron Bates, and Richard Hood. There was dancing after the play and refreshments were sold. John Mayes Paul LaPointe ALJ JL2' 'J 1.

THIRD AND FOURTH GRADES When school opened in September we had an enrollment of thirty- seven, with nineteen in grade three and eighteen in grade four. Flora Newton, who had moved to Petersham during the summer, moved to Ware the last of October, thus making seventeen in the fourth grade. In January Donald Risatti, another pupil in grade four, moved to Athol, leaving sixteen in that class. In that same month Harry Baker entered our room. He was in the third grade, and came here from Grafton. Our present membership is thirty-six-twenty in grade three, and sixteen in grade four. Miss Reid wusuuwwwwsuawuwwwwswa I FIFTH AND SIXTH GRADES When school opened in September we found that three new families were represented in our room. The new pupils were Richard Brown, Barbara and Rollin Newton, and Vera and David Pettit. Later in the year Robert Goodale and Shirley Carrabba joined us. Our enrollment at the present time is thirty-two. Our school program was just about the same this year as last year. One variation was that a food sale was held in February. The money received was used to pay for our trip to Barre to the annual Audubon lecture. The money remaining will be used to purchase nature study material for the school.

I like to lie outside at night, And watch the moon and other sights, I see the swooping owl, the fleeing rat, And, suddenly, the fluttering bat. There's one thing only I can say, And that is that it surely pays, To stay out for a while at night, And get up early in the day.

Girls' Basketball The first of November found thirteen girls out for basketball. Mr. Allen, our new commercial teacher, was the girls' coach. Three times a week were set aside for girls' practice. Shirley Dorow, a senior, was again elected captain of the team. Our having the use of the gymnasium again this year made it possible to have home games This year the girls' team won eleven games and lost only one, to win the championship of the eastern division of the King Philip League. C On February 17 the girls' team met the winner of the western division, Thayer High School, at Turners Falls, to determine the championship of the league. The game the teams were not used to playing on in a tie. Thayer High School now has for six months, after which Petersham WHS 8 a larg hard and tiring one, as e floor. The game ended the trophy and will keep it will h ave it for six months. ' So about September we should see the King Philip League championship trophy at P.H.S. A Bo s' Basketball ..1L............

After an up-hill fight the P.H.S boys lost the game by one point. At the eighth annual Tri-State Tournament, held in Turners Falls the boys won two games and lost one, to capture second place in the championship division. In the first game they easily defeated Northfield, 45-14. ,The second game was not so easy, but the P.H.S. boys won 56-48 over Wilmington, Vermont. In the championship game the P.H.S. boys lost to Barre High School, 55-36. On December 26, the P.H.S. boys? basketball team went to Boston Garden to play Marlboro CNew Hampshirel High School. Our boys won by a score of 46-25. Robert Thayer was high scorer, with 11 points. That same night the boys watched the Boston Celtics whip the Syra- cuse Nationals, 102-100. Cheerleaders The cheerleaders this year were Barbara Barnes and Marjorie Harper. Helen Peltonen and Beverly Dorow acted as substitutes.

HCTIVITIES Sueuta MAGAZINE DPIVE On September 15 the familiar face of Del Obert appeared once again in our school to organize the annual magazine drive. Again this year the drive was conducted by the junior high and high school. It lasted twelve days. The total amount collected was 3655.55, a sum which exceeded our goal of 8620.00. 'The school's share of that amount was, after the money for the prizes was taken out, l91.87. The two highest salesmen were Sally Harris, who brought in 59.90, and Carolyn Thayer, who brought in S55.55. Special prizes were awarded as follows to Marjorie Harper for bringing in the most money on the first day, a pen and pencil setg to Fredrik Marsh for bringing in-the largest amoum of money among the boys, a magic pen knifeg and to Carolyn Thayer for bringing in the largest amount of money among the girls, a wallet. TRIPS On September 30 some of the members ef the fifth to the tenth grades went to Springfield to see the Museum of Natural History. The trip was in charge of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Babbitt. 'Transportation was provided by Reid's and Davenport's busses. The trip was paid for by anonymous contributions. On Septemler 30 nine members of the junior and senior classes went to Amherst to visit the University of Mass- achusetts. Mr. Robbins and Mr. Bagley supplied the transportation. It was High School Guest Day and students attended from all parts of Massachusetts and from other states as well. On November 3 most of the high school students attended the play Much ado About Nothing at Clark University, presented by the Clark University flayers. Reid's bus provided the transportation. . GYMNASIUM On returning to school in September we were very glad to find our remodeled gymnasium ready for use. It was remodeled last year. The ceiling had been raised, a raised platform for the bleachers had been made, a new heating system had been put in, and new lights had been installed. The town is going to purchase some new bleachers for us of a type that can readily be dismantled. This remodeled gymnas- ium has made a big improvement in our school. HILLTOP NEWS The Freshman and Sophomore Classes again this year have had the privilege of putting out the school newspaper. It has come out about once every two weeks. The writing for the paper has been done almost entirely voluntarily. Mr. Allen's typing classes have cut the sten- cils, run them off on the mimeograph, and put the pages together. A copy of each issue has been sent to neighboring schools, including Barre, Hardwick, New Salem, and Athol. In return some of those schodb sent copies of their papers to us. 'Il In if -5 .

It just wasn't fair. Jo one should expect her to go to the dance of the year in a thing like that. The fact that it was royal purple and robin red was bad f enough, but lately the only way to get into it was by crawling in through the bottom on your hands and knees, slowly straightening up and then simply squirming around until everything was in place. Oh sure, it was all right if you were going just anywhere with the gang, because they never minded little things like that. It didn't matter then that you had to practically hold it together, so it wouldn't Fall apart at the seams. But gee whiz, thought Sally, the least Jim :ould have done was to borrow a decent car to take her to the dance, lnstead of using that ancient thing. Marjorie Harper '51 -:2fLa'a+aeeeee OPERATION HOPE CHEST Girls, I have a problem. Undoubtedly most of my female readers :ave been faced with it. The problem is that of mothers and their lueer fixation concerning hope chests. Sound familiar? fPersonal1y, I've never understood why the minute some mother is blessed with a baby girl she starts looking over the eligible young men.D You under- stand, I have nothing specific against hope chests themselves: it's :hat they stand for that bothers me. I guess I'm just not the npot- xoldern type. I'm assuming as I continue this that I have the inter- nst and sympathy of.a major part of my readers. I decided on this particular subject mainly to be informative to the younger set Cages six months to sixteen yearsl. You see, dear reader, mothers! campaigns may be successfully combated if the proper techniques are employed. You ask for proof? I'm proud to say that I have an empty--or at least sparsely filled--hope chest! There are several approaches that you must always be on the look- out for. They won't necessarily come in they will be none-the-less vicious. One remember came when I was quite young and peated at frequent intervals. It can be is, it is one of the most frustrating of the order I present them, but of the first attacks I can is the type that may be re- very effective and when it all. It is very simple. Mother will go on a colossal shopping tour, promising to bring some- thing she knows you want. It will make little difference whether you're at the age when you like lollipops or at the age when you fancy something new in lipstick, it will be no less maddening to be pre- sented with a half-dozen packages of attractive, useful dish cloths! 'I simply couldn't pass up the opportunity,dear. There was a sale. Two for the price of one.n This will be her excuse. You, naturally, can't tell your loving parent what you actually think. No! On the contrary, alwa s accept the situation with grace! Her intentions were undoubtedly flne and Eonora5le.' I'm sorry, but I must tell you that the only way you can keep this from changing the empty status of your hope chest is to quietly give them away. I must also state that you have to be slightly sneaky to put this across. For instance, to fifth cousin, twice removed, Hattie, who lives in Brazil, for a wed- ding present. This is the only successful method of disposal. The next approach is indirect, but fully as troublesome. It starts when some long-lost relative puts in a welcome K?J appearance. After being on the scene for five minutes she will fall madly in love with the darling daughter of the family and will start promising her life away. fThe first protective measure is fairly obvious--whenever possible make it a point to have male long-lost relatives.J On your guard, girls! Soon will come the question, nwhat would you like most for your next birthday, dearie?n If you're not nfast on the drawn, your loving mother will come forward with some of her most thrilling suggestions. nShe'd love one of your lovely, hand-made doilies,N is one likely example. nSuch things come in so handy to a girl later on, you know.' KI always make it a point to worry about the present, my- self.l The best possible way to take care of this is to have a long and detailed list of things you really do want. Always carry it on your person! True you have only one birthday a year, but there's a ways Christmas Another attack may come in a most distasteful manner. One day some friendly person will suggest that your mother join her for an excursion to a cloth mill or remnant shop which lurks nearby. Mother will go and will later come bustling home with scads of enthusiasm, plus a quantity of materials and ideas for little odds and ends for the hope chest. nCome with me to the sewing machine,n will be her constant refrain for the next few days. The only thing you can do is to have a conveniently full schedule. HA lot of homeworkug ul promised Sue I'd come over and help her paint the housen--any simple little excuse of that type will suffice. lose her interest too. U Slowly, but surely she will I realize I haven't covered the entire situation, but I do hope I've made some of these things clearer. If you have had this same trouble, I hope my solutions will be useful to you. If not-- congratulations! June Legare '51 ON LEARNING TO DRIVE So you are sixteen and want to be able to drive a car and have a license! Well, my dear fellow female, do you know what you're getting into? In order to save you from going completely berserk while learnd ing to drive a car, I present the following essay. Finding the right teacher is your first problem. Always pick someone who knows how to drive and has a license, but never, never pick your father! In two weeks for less, depending on how strong his constitution is and how long his patience will last! he will be raving mad and you won't be any closer to getting your license. I know, because my father taught me. Though I did get my license, he is now residing at one of the better asylu s. It seems he went crazy as a result of banging his head on the dashboard every time I did something wrong at a crucial moment. The rule book is another important item that you must have as a beginner and that you must keep with you and learn. These little books may be obtained at the nearest police station without any trouble--unless you happen to have a record, of course. But now I have a word of advice: go into the station alone and do not take with you a friend who has a license. If you do, you are likely to be there for hours while the policeman asks your friend many questions to find out just how well he for shel can drive. He will also add the usual words of advice. Now that you have a teacher and a rule book, find a car and hop in. If you have planned well your car will have four wheels, a moton and various other things a car ought to have. You get in--on the driver's side, naturally. No, not in back--in front! After four or five days of lessons, while your teacher has been explaining to you how to start the car and shift gears and you have simply been sitting there with a dumb look on your face, finally it will all sink in and you will be ready to take off. At first, of course, you will be driving only on back roads because, after all, you can't be permitted to cause complete bedlam on the highways just yet. Though you probably are ready to forget the whole thing at this point--don't! You really are progressing a little, though not much. Right now your main object is to remember what you have been told three hundred times. You have been told how to start your car and how to shift--please remember these fundamentals! They may prove to be very important to you as you go along. Of course, if you are a normal human being, you are bound to forget once in a while, but try to cover up your mistakes as they are likely to irritate your teacher and make him feel terribly frustrated! One thing you must remember is to slow down before you come to the corner that you are going to turn, or the place where you are oing to stop. Db not slam on your brakes at the last moment when ou desire to stop--you are likely to throw your teacher through the indshield, and that might be extremely messy! While you are driving, always signal before you turn or stop. hese signals are very important and must be learned well. Do not et them confused, or you will be signaling for a left turn and :urning right, and other such mistakes. This could cause some acci- ients, and is sure to cause bad feeling and profane language among four fellow drivers--all directed toward you, of course! Something that is hard to achieve, and is most likely to drive your teacher insane, is turning around, especially on a narrow road. fou must be awfully careful while doing this, or your bumpers will be- :ome horribly scratched and mangled. It would be much simpler to Find a driveway into which you could turn, but that would not be at all sporting. No, you must pick a narrow road with high curbs on both sides Kor ditches, if you preferl and go about your turning, doing as Little damage as possible. Once started turning around, be sure to io it fast, and above all don't stall your car in the middle of the road as a dear friend of mine once did. Such a happening could easily land usually doesj create a mild traffic jam. When stopping and starting on a hill, be sure to put your emer- gency brake on. Do not let your teacher convince you that you don't leed the brake. Without it you will be forever rolling down hills-- :ackwardsl I don't know as I have discussed all the things you should learn while taking driving lessons, but now I shall skip to the day when you go for your license. I'm assuming that you haven't given up in des- peration before now and are willing to see this thing through. As your teacher is undoubtedly a nervous wreck by now, you may aave to get someone else to accompany you. You probably know all the rules now--quite well, in fact--but I'm willing to bet that you will become a gibbering idiot when the inspector asks you three of them. lThank goodness they make allowances for gibbering idiots or I'd xndoubtedly still be walking.J Try to answer the questions as sanely as possible, but if you can't, be sure to know at least your own name and address. After putting the questions to you and finding out whether you are blind or not, you and the poor unsuspecting inspector and the :eacher will go out to the car. Now please don't get so excited that fou forget which car is yours--that might count against you! If four car is locked, take time to unlock it before trying to get in. Plnally, after twenty minutes of complete chaos, you are settled and ready to take your driving test. First you will be taken around the Jack roads of the town, being made to stop at all stop signs, signal, atop on a hill, and turn on a narrow road. Then you will go back :hrough the main part of town--if you are still able to navigate! Vhen you know that you are headed back to your starting point, you :robably will breathe a sigh of relief. Well, the worst is yet to some. Your friend, the inspector, who hasn't said much, but has just sat there with a look of fear stamped upon his face, asks you to park your vehicle. Things then become very confused, especially since you 1ave never parked a car before. After scraping the fenders beyond repair, you finally come to a stop. All is complete silence for a vhileg then with a groan the inspector climbs shakily out of the car. Lgain silence reigns. Then the inspector hands you a little pink slip. Hooray! You've made it! And the inspector will say as he Leaves you: nThere, that wasn't so bad after all, was it? Carol Cooper '51 TH NEWS STORY The story made the,headlines of all the city papers and took up a reat deal of room on the sports pages. The Toledo Tigers had traded ion Evans, who was one Of the best defensive hockey players in the league, to the Columbus Cubs! The Tigers had received two young wing- nen on whom they had had good reports and whom they believed would be- come high scorers. The Toledo fans had not liked the trade because Evans was one of their favorite players. But it had said in the papers that the Tigers thought Evans was getting too old to play the rough type of hockey that the Tigers played. On the other hand, Columbus was very glad to get Evans because their team was made up.ent1rely of young players, who had not yet come into their best playing form. And the Cubs manager thought that having the older and more experienced Evans on the team with his young players would give his team the boost that it needed. When Ken Evans reported at the rink where the Cubs played, he fdx cold, hurt, and slightly angry to think that the Tigers should have traded him after so many years of service. But the fact that they had let him go to such a low-standing team left in him a hollow, helpless feeling. Ken knew that the young players on this new team would look lp to him for help and leadership. But he did not know how he would like playing for this team, or just how much help he would be to it. He had thought that he might retire from the game. But then he had thought that the Cubs must have really wanted him if they had let two af their best players go to get him. So he had decided to give this new team a.try at least. Ken entered the Cubs rink. He was surprised to find that there nad been much remodeling in it since he had last played there as a men- oer of the Tigers team. There were new seats, refreshment stands, a new scoreboard, and the players' dressing rooms had been made modern-- more modern, Ken was happy to see, than even the Tigers dressing rooms. Ken saw that the stands were rapidly filling with fans. He Looked up at the clock on the scoreboard and saw that it was time for 11m to get dressed for the nlght's game. As he started down the vunway which led to the Cubs dressing room, many of the fans recog- mized him and shouted words of encouragement and praise to him. This :leased him even more than the hearty greetings he received from the Tubs manager and the players when he entered the dressing room. He iecided he liked everything about this new team, and a few minutes Later when he had finished getting into his new Cubs uniform and had gone onto the ice, he was determined to help his new club get up in :he league. As it happened the Cubs were to play the Tigers that night! The seams lined up for the start of the game. Ken started in the game at .eft defense for the Cubs, and his all-but-inspired play led his team lates to hold the Tigers at bay for the first period. Though Mitchell, fhe goalie for the Cubs, had to make several good saves, the period vnded with the score nothing to nothing. In the second period a fast 'igers wingman got past Ken, who missed a body check on the man, and hile the Cubs fans groaned, the wingman skated in on Mitchell and ired a blistering shot. But Mitchell made a spectacular save and hrew the puck aside where Ken picked it up and fed a Cubs wingman a retty pass and the player skated in on the Tigers goalie, shot, and coredl In the third period the Cubs scored twice more, with Ken getting one of the goals. The Cubs won, 3 to O. After the game Mitchell came up to Ken and thanked him for the defensive help. Ken answered by saying, NI was glad you were back of me, kidbn It was a very good story that the newspapers had to tell the next day. Ernest Phillips '51 eseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeae A DOG'S LIFE r Many dogs have miserable lives. They are always Win the dog house' for one reason or another. They never have clean water-- something which is very important to a dog. They are not allowed in their masterfs house and they can never run loose. But I, thank heaven, do not fall in that category. I believe I am the happiest dog in the world. My name is Brownie, and I live in the little town of Ipswich, Massachusetts. There are four people where I live.-Mr. and Mrs. Jones and their two daughters, Carol and Sally. I really am Carol's dog but no one ever thinks of that. My favorite is Mr. Jones. He always will play with me and we have wonderful times together. I love to go for walks with him. Next to Mr. Jones CFred is his name! I like my blue ball best. This ball has a little bell in it and I love the sound that it makes. It's a rubber ball and it is very good for my teeth to play with it. My family is always teasing me because that ball is forever in my mouth. I don't take it outdoors by myself because the dog next door would take it. But once in a while someone will go out with me and throw it. That I love very much. I will never stop till they tell me, nThat's allln I would play till I dropped if they would let me. I have the run of the whole house. I used to sleep on the sofa but they put folding chairs there and broke me of that habit. Now my favorite sleeping place is in Sally's room. I like it because she has scatter rugs and I can make a nice bed for myself. The window is al- ways open and I get plenty of fresh air--something I like very much. Another thing that I like about that room is that in the morning, when I want to go outdoors, Sally will always wake up cheerfully and let me out. All I have to do is stand by her bed, which is a cot, and wag my tail. Sometimes if she is very sleepy I have to lick her face. She ever minds that or the fact that the house is cold. I guess she loves e a lot. One of the things that I love very, very much is my freedom. I cave two big fields and a lawn to run and play on. I can go all over he woods and roads too, as long as someone is with me. Yes, now that I think of it, I am surely the happiest dog in the world. After all, look at all the things I have to make me happy. Judy Cooper '54 GENUINE HAUNTED HOUSE All my trouble really began many years ago, but it started to some to a head two weeks ago with the arrival of Sticky. Sticky may seem a funny name for a little boy, but I called him that because of :he way he looked when I first saw him.. It was just twilight when he wandered up to my back door, exactly two weeks ago today. I happened so look out the window and there he was. At first I thought he must 1ave been caught in the rain, for he looked quite wet. Then I looked lgain and to my amazement discovered he wasn't covered with water, but vith molasses. I asked him in and when he came in, I looked at him more closely. At some time in his life he must have been a very cute Little boy, but now he was thin and a livid white in color. One strand of black hair fell down in his eyes. Then I looked at his :lothesg there was something odd about them. At first I couldn't make :ut what it was. Then I realized they weren't like the clothes people vear in these times, but like the clothes people wore many years ago. Suddenly it dawned on me that he was a ghost! Yes, after I had been without friends for one hundred and fifty years, another ghost had ?inally come to keep me company! We sat down together and talked. He told me his death had been :aused by an odd accident. It seems he ran away from home early one morning and set out for town. It was late when he reached the town and he was very hungry, but all he had with him to eat was a piece of iry bread. As he walked along, a sweet odor came to him. He stopped ind sniffed, it smelled like molasses. Looking around he discovered I barrel of molasses in front of a store on the other side of the street. It was a great temptation. When he could stand it no longer 1e went over and tried to take the cover off. It was stuck: so he :limbed up on a box and began to pull. The cover came off so quickly 1e lost his balance and fell in, head first. That, strange as it may seem, was how he died--by drowning in a barrel of molasses! When we finished our talk, I showed him around the house. It was rather a large house with about thirty rooms. The roof leaked, the Tloors had rotted out of some of the rooms, half of the windows were :roken and the porch had collapsed, but otherwise it was in pretty good condition. A little later I left Sticky and went to pay my weekly visit to :he cemetary. Just before I left, I told Sticky to pick out any room le liked and make himself at home. If I'd had the slightest inkling af what would follow, I would have taken him with me instead. It was early in the morning when I returned, but there outside my mouse was a group of gaping, bug-eyed mortals. The imbeciles were sayb Lng it was a menace and an eye-sore and should be torn down. My house, mind you, my house torn down! Just thinking of it made me turn purple vith pink spots. When I turned purple with pink spots, it had a dras- :ic effect on the people. They took one look at me and ran off shout- .ng that not only was the house a menace, but it was haunted as well! I immediately went in search of Sticky to inquire into the matter. I found him in the kitchen. He looked at me, but said nothing for a Loment or two: then he told me what had happened. It seems that after .ooking at all the rooms he had decided to stay in the attic. Now in 'ne corner of the attic there was an old four-poster bed. When he saw The next morning Sticky and I sat in dejected silence trying to it, it gave him an idea for a game he could play until I returned. He would start running from the far end of the attic, then jump on the bed and see how high he could bounce. About the tenth time he did this the bed suddenly went through the floor, down through the third floor, and on until it reached the cellar. On its way down the bed had weakened the supports in that side of the house so much that it was sagging at a very dangerous angle. Most of the people in the neighborhood had heard the noise and had come to see what had happened Some of the braver ones had investigated. Finally they had decided to go to the mayor and demand that the house be torn down before someone got hurt. . It was late in the afternoon before I thought of a definite plan of action. I waited until almost midnight and then left to pay a visit to the mayor. As I recall, I had up to that time seen the mayor only once, but that was enough. He looked about seven feet tall and couldn't have weighed more than one hundred and thirty pounds. One peculiar thing about him was his cigar. I learned later that he has them made special. They are extremely long, black stogies. It was one minute of twelve when I floated in the mayor's bedroom window. I sat on the edge of his bed and made a moan sufficient to wake him up. As he opened his eyes, I turned my weirdest shade of purple and pink so he could see me quite plainly. He sat there and stared, then his hair stood on end and his eyes popped out. All in all he looked worse than I did. I stated my business and he didn't save my house I would haunt him for the rest of such as they were. told him if his days, think of a place to move to if the mayor About three in the afternoon a truck men got out and put up some new supports did not keep his word. drove into the yard. Two to brace the house. In front of the house they put up a sign that read, HGenuine Haunted House,n printed in b1g.ghoulish, red letters. After that Sticky and I had a home for as long as we wanted--that is as long as we appeared in full color on the porch once a month. That was to keep the people from thinking the mayor was crazy.
