PUBLIC SCHOOL I73, IVIANlIAT'I'AN-jUNE, 1930 Stories fl Nlodcm Tom Sawyer It was marble time and Ilenry had no marbles. His father had said that if he wanted any he would have to earn them. Henry wondered what he could do to earn some money. He could always shovel snow, but, just now, there was no snow. Then a thought came to him. On his corner there were always a great many babies in carriages. Couldn't he take care of them? He knew all the boys would laugh at him, but what else could he do? He carried out this plan, and in a few days had earned over a dollar. He now has many marbles. Soon, other boys followed his example, and they no longer laugh at him. BETTY Korr, 6BI. 44 if -X -X My Dream and Wish On the night of the Doll's Festival that was held in japan long ago, I had a dream while sleeping in my bed. I dreamt that a beautiful doll came into my bedroom, and said that she would grant me one wish. I thought for a moment and Hnally answered, I wish for good health, for I know that in japan the only wish they have is good health, especially the small and weak people. The doll then said to me, You have chosen a very good wish, Kiyoko, and it will be granted. K1YoKo NONAKA, 6A3. fl Saturday Rush john walked into school late every day. The teacher said, Hlf you come in late again, you will have to be left back, because you always miss your arithmetic. The next morning, there was a rush. Hurry up, mother. It's eight o'clock. I've got to be in school at eight-thirty! said john. Why are you in such a hurry? asked his mother. I might be late, said john, rushing for his coat and hat. But, john-. john rushed out before his mother could say anything. When he got to school the custodian chased him out. What are you doing here on Saturday? he asked. SIDNEY BERGER, 6B2. 'N -36 -X -Z- A Wlix-up Everything was ready for the picnic. There were two boxes on the table. I took one box and went into the car with the rest of the family. After we had driven far enough, we thought we would have a bite to eat. We opened our box. To my surprise, it held a pair of slippers. I said it was my fault for having made such a mistake. I should have remembered that wise saying, Look twice before you leap. ELLioT BROONES, 6B2. Page Eleven

PUBLIC SCHOOL I73, MANIIATTAN-JUNE, l930 My Dilemma A scratchy pen is the worst thing I know, Especially, when the ink won't flow. And when it flows, it flows too fast, And on the paper makes holes, at last. The pen stops and starts and jumps and scratches, And so my writing shows in patches, I cry and scream and tear my hair, And hnally give up in deep despair. Pnvtus REUBEN, 4Al. -X- 'X' if -5. 'Yesterday Where we live and play today, Forest trees used to sway, There were no skyscrapers that are so tallg just trees and log cabins that was all. BERNARD Sci-xusTER, 4Al. -JP -Y -'C -X Rest Period We come from lunch at quarter to one, We move our seats one by one, We give out blankets and draw the shade And lie down when the cots are made Here we stay from one to two, Helping little bodies their strength to renew. A composite poem composed by the Members of Open Air Class. Washington Heights In the old days of Washington Heights, When we did not see bright lights, When birds were fluttering, And old men muttering, And farmers brought in the hay, On a sunshiny day, Now look at Washington Heights this way MILTON KAMINSKY, 4Al 'X' M' K- -56 Washington Heights Washington Heights, Washington Heights The scene of some of our greatest tights, 'Twas here 'neath an open sky, That American men did hght and die. SINCLAIR KORMAN, 4Al 92 -X -39 -X- My Queer Dream As I was sitting upon the ground, I heard a most mysterious sound, But quick as I was, there was no one in sight But only the moon that was shining so bright I was seated again upon the ground, And again I heard that horrible sound, Suddenly I heard a great big noise, And what do you think? It was Mama and the boys. Wake up! Wake up! they called to me, You've stayed in bed 'till almost three! MILDRED HANANIA, 6133 0 O I O 49 Page Ten

I learned that last night, when I was trying to make a clay map. First, I collected my materials. Finding a piece of oak tag, I started looking for my clay and water colors. After having laid out all the necessary materials, I began to work. I drew the outline lightly, and then out- lined the separate states. I smeared on the clay, spreading it as much as I could. Down near the Panama Canal, I placed a small ship. When I finished putting the last touches on it, I stood back to see if I could Gnd any mistakes. The water coloring was soon done, and then I had my map work Gnished. This map helped me more than I expected. I studied from it at home, and in school I often had it before my eyes during a Geography lesson. VERA GUNNING, 6133. W-K-X-M Eskimo Land I dreamt I was in Eskimo Land and saw the men digging holes in the ice to get fish. The Eskimo dogs were skimming over the snow. When I came nearer it became so much colder that I said, No wonder the Eskimos wear furs. Suddenly a blizzard blew up. I was thrown with full force to the ground. The Eskimos ran into their igloos and were safe. When I woke up I remembered that I had been reading about Commander Byrd. SONYA juskowirz, 4A I. Page Twelve s.4e-snxuxnvsavs,ox4vs.ux.-ns.ns4rs4-s-vsn-xnas.4rg4vs.4 :- The Fighting Temeraire The beautiful picture of 'fThe Fighting Temeraire was painted by j. IVI. W. Turner. One evening Mr. Turner and his friends sailed down the Thames River in London. They saw this battle-ship being pulled by a tug boat. The sun was just setting at that time and it made a beautiful picture. Mr. Turner kept it in his memory and when he got home he painted it. The Hrst thing that draws one's attention is the beautiful sun which is setting and is reflected upon the water. The tug has a black smoke stack and that also casts a re- flection. In a distance is a large sailing vessel. If you wish to see the original picture you will have to go a long distance across the Atlantic Ocean. The picture is in the Na- tional gallery in London. ABADEL TILL, 6A3. 'X' 45 95' 9: My Diary l'm a young lady now. My, but it feels ine to be nine, after having been eight so long. At least, I think so. I awoke later than usual. I suppose it was because I was excited. Mother greeted me before I realized I was awake. I wonder that I wasn't late for school. Mother promised me a present of a sub- scription for a magazine that I have always wanted very much. This is the happiest day of my life. EDITH LIPSKIN, 5A5.
