I hope you will enjoy reading the rest of the story. SINCLAIR KORMAN, 4Al. 469591-'55 When We Were Very 'Young K'When We Were Very Youngn was writ- ten by A. A. Milne. It is a book of poetry. The poem that I like best is, If I Were King. It is about a little boy who said, Ulf I were king of Spain, I would take off my hat in the rain. I am sure you would like to read the rest of the book yourself. You would enjoy read- ing it because poetry is so interesting. SHIRLEY PLOTNICK, 4Al. 96 -JG 95 96 Adventures of ci Brownie The book, Adventure of a Browniefl was written by Dina C. Mulock. The story is about amischievous Brownie who always got into trouble. The story I liked best was, 'fThe Brownie and The Cherry Tree. One day mother said to Ned, Bob, and little Nell, 'lYou may go out into the orchard and pick cherries, but do not climb the tree. unless jack gets them for you. When they reached the orchard, jack was nowhere to be seen. But read the rest of the story and rind out if the children got the cherries or not. ADELE PFEFERBLUM, 4AI. , MANHATTAN-I UNE, l930 Myths of the Red Children The stories in this book are Indian legends. They were written by Gilbert L. Wilson. The story I like best is How the Bear Lost Ilis Tail. A fox once stole some Hsh. As he was carrying them a bear came along and asked where he had gotten them. The fox, think- ing he would play a trick on the bear, said, 'fOh, I just put my tail into the ice which covered the lake. The bear did this and the ice froze so he couldn't get his tail out. He pulled so hard that his tail came off. I like this story because it is humorous. HOWARD IVIARKS, 4Al. if 45 95 -JG Historical Plays for Children HHistorical Plays for Childrenn was writ- ten by two men named Bird and Starling. It contains plays about Magellan, Colum- bus, Marco Polo and other famous men of the past. I liked the play of Marco Polo best. Marco Polo lived in Italy and wished to go to Cathay. He knew that everybody was rich there and that he could bring home spices, gold, silver and other precious things. Ile started off and went over the Swiss Alps. I am sure you would enjoy reading the rest of it because it is very exciting. ELLIOT HAUPT, 4Al. G CD CD CD Page Twe1zty-.tefuelz

PUBLIC SCHOOL I73, MANHATTAN-JUNE, 1930 Our Pictures Every Tuesday, Class 5133 and other fifth year classes go to the moving pictures to see our Geography lesson given in motion. One picture I liked especially was about Hsh. It showed three ways of catching Hsh, spearing by natives, using fishing rods along the New England Coast, and by nets or fishing-wheels for catching big fish, such as salmon. Also, we were taken on journeys through national parks, canyons, valleys and pla- teaus. Don't you think we are lucky? DAVID SHAIR, 5B3. -JG 46 -36 45 An Illustrated Lecture The Society of The Children's Humane Army, sent a lecturer to our school to give the children of the lower assembly a lecture about some of our animal friends. She told us that if we wanted to join The Children's Humane Army, we must pledge ourselves to be kind to all living things. We were shown still pictures or slides. The thing I learned from these slides is that an eagle makes his home in a dead tree be- cause lightning does not strike it. Our class enjoyed the lecture and pictures and some children joined The Children's Humane Army. GLADYS GRANAT, Open Air Class. -19964646 The Days of the Dutch in New 'York Our assembly this morning was very pleasurable. After the school sang a song, Miss Hynes introduced us to Miss Halsey, a member of the City History Club, who showed us some slides, and also explained them to us. The picture was about the his- toric days of long ago, in the sixteenth cen- tury when the Dutch settled New Amster- dam. It was later named New York, after the Duke of York, who captured it in 1664. Some of the boys made a speech of thanks. The girls can speak to visitors, too. JULIA LEVY, 6Bl.
