IN THE FRONT LINE TRENOHES Five figures emerged from a dugout and made black outlines in the darkness. They crept out across No-Man's-Land. Each was carrying two oblong things called hand grenades. They crept out towards the German trenches and every once in a while they had to duck to escape being seen in the light of the skyrockets. When they were about ten yards from the Germans they lay down and waited. Each man could understand German. Translated, the ,Germans said: Hey, Bill, that scheme the Old Man worked up is going to be good. Yes, when we sneak over to those 'Yankee Pigs' ' trenches, they'll get the surprise of their lives. A Tom, the corporal of the squad, made his muscles stiffen at the words Yankee Pigs. , - When are we going to sneak? This morning? '4Yes, was the answer. . That was all that was needed. The men crept back and woke up their captain. They're going to attack this morning, said J ack. Then wake up the men. Wei ll beat 'em to it. The five figures disappeared in different directions. In a few 'minutes all the men were crowded in dugouts, all with guns. Who will volunteer to go and see when they're going to attack? Jack stepped forward. I will, he said. Jack crept out and just as he was upon the Germans a volley of skyrockets shot up and he yelled at the top of his voice, . Here they come! . And they did come. . He ducked into a shell hole. Just then a shell from a German gun killed him. But the Americans won. R- W- B- Forty-seven

' . h H clifeiiaiifcto fliiiiilz them for their ready response to the call for material, and sug- gest that the Upper School take a lesson from them. . I Original Narrative ,M.Ll- THE STILL ALARM V, Once there was a very brave fireman whose name was Jack Manly. He drove the hose-wagon. The horses' names were Ted and Dick. Jack- loved the two horses. A The alarm sounded. There's a fire some place. Hurry up, yelled Jack. They were off at full speed. ' The fire was at a factory, a large one, too. The flames were terrific. There were a few wagons there before Jack's. They were holding a big blanket out for the people to jump into. There was an old man in the factory who was afraid to jump. Jack ran up the stairs to get the old man. Just as he got up the stairs, they Went down. Jack made the old man jump from the window onto the blanket below 3 then Jack jumped. V A young girl called Jack over to heriand said, You were very brave to get the old man out of the factory. My father owns that factory. Jack at once fell in love with the young girl, and to tell the truth, she fell in love with Jack. J ack went to see her very often. One night while Jack was on guard, a man came in and asked Jack to tell him all about the fire alarm. Jack told him if anybody cut two certain wires they wouldn't know when a fire was on. Jack had to go away a moment to do something. The man cut the wires while Jack was gone. The girl Jack liked was home alone. The man that cut the wires ,set fire to the girl's house. When she saw the flames, she telephoned to the fire-house that Jack was in and to some other fire-houses. u Jack beat all the others to the fire. He jumped into tho hguge and took tho girl out of the house at the risk of his life. Then they were married and lived happily ever after.

THE POTTER SHIELD MAKING FRIENDS WITH A SQUIRREL ' O , .1 , 1 Wqs in the country I saw a little squirrel. He was very cute. I me xx men ame rett close to me. hid in the grass for an hour. He was very mme- He C p y The next time he came I had a lot of acorns for him. He ate them out Of my hand Then when I went home he was in back of me. He followed me into a cage- lilie ql001' of the cage shut and the squirrel and I were in the cage. I got Out and Went to see my mother to tell her about him. But when I came back he was not Ehere. After a little while I found a little hole In the ground. I said to myse , It is the hole that he went through. Just then, on the other side' of the fence, the ground was moving. I got a little bit scared, but out popped a little head. It was the mother to have the gardner make a squirrel-cage. She said, If the gardner has time you may have him make you a cage. The next week we were working on the cage. We bought some wire netting for the sides and an Iron plate for the floor. It was a wonderful cage when it was finished. We put the squirrel in there and he lived for three years. Then he died. All the people on the place cried. We made a little coffin for him. We shall never forget the squirrel. , C- R- MCC- KEEPING RABBITS - I am making a trap to catch rabbits. Yesterday I caught three little rabbits. I made a little cage for them. Their names are Bill, Mike and Pussy. When I caught them I was behind a bush. I heard a little noise and I turned around and there were two little rabbits in my trap. When I had put the two in the house I hid behind the same bush. I heard another noise and there was another little rabbit in my trap. But when I went to get him I saw a tramp coming down the road. He turned around to see if anybody was coming. Then he began to chase me and I didn't get my rabbit. When he turned around I sawehe had 392 on his back. So I went down to the guard house and told them that there was a prisoner in the trees. They sent a lotof soldiers up and caught him. I went back to my little rabbit and took him home with the others. I I still have them in my back yard. My father said I could keep them until they grew up. Today I am going to catch some more. I think I shall sell some of them- J. o. D. MY TRIP TO THE' YOSEMITE ti . Itstiged Early 0119 Monday morning in March.
