THE FABLE ABOUT POQUOSON ' S FUGITIVE Everyone in school has at some time seen the big bell which stays on the radiator outside of Mr. Thomas ' office, but few know the story which connects it with our principal ' s habit of punctuality. This be!! was given to the school over twenty-five years ago by Dr. William Royal, a minister in the community, and has called Poquo- son pupils to their fate ever since. FROM THE TROLLEY SONG On one occasion Mr. Thomas was a little late in taking in school and when he picked the bell up to ring it, it cracked down the side. He duly applied to the school board for a new one but they were unable to get one as they did not have a high enough priority. Therefore, to keep this one from cracking again, Mr. Thomas has been careful to take in school on time. H. M. FIVE
