I I I L... . . U .., A' f-QL. THE VISIT TO THE BENJAMIN FRANKLIN INSTITUTE The Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth classes visited the Benjamin Franklin Institute. Among the many sights we saw were the airplane that Amelia Ehrhart flew when she crossed the Atlantic and set the record for the hrst woman flier to cross this ocean. There was also a war plane that we could get into. It had a metal stick coming out of the floor. We pushed it back and forth to make the tail tip, and sideways to make the wings tip. We saw the first Dell helicopter and the only Wright Brothers plane that can fly. We were permitted to climb into a steam engine and we each had turns working it. All this was interesting but I thought that the lightning was the most exciting. The guide pushed a button and a bolt flew at a post and as it flew it made a terrific crash but when it hit the post nothing happened because the post had a lightning receiver. I enjoyed the trip thoroughly. I hope to go on another one soon. VALERIE HANS, IV Class TO THE SECOND CLASS AND ITS MISTRESS The Secretariat of State of His Holiness is directed to express the Holy Father's sincere ap' preciation of the devoted message of good wishes and prayers addressed to Him, and to convey, as a pledge of abiding divine grace, the paternal Aposf tolic Blessing of His Holiness. ISignedI PIUS XII WHAT I VALUE MOST IN A FRIEND Friendship is something you feel inside of you, deep in your heart. A friend is someone who stays with you in time of danger, and prays for you when you need help badly. One should be able to trust a friend even with one's life. A friend's love is something you cannot acquire over night. It takes time to find someone whom you can call a real friend. When you find one, you should cherish her love and do things to make sure you do not lose her friendship. Do unto others as you would have them do to you. This is the greatest proverb ever written, for it expresses so much. Sharing with someone, giving up your turn in line, are the little things that make friends and keep them. PATRICIA MAYER, VII Class MY FIRST HORSEBACK RIDE My first horse back ride was at Camp Teckaf witha two years ago. The first time I was on a horse, my instructor told me to trot. I thought I was trotting but I was just bouncing up and down, up and down. After a few lessons, how' ever, I did trot and could ride hiirly well. At the end of the camp season I could really canter. Now I want a horse of my own to canter and to trot as I wish. LORETTA WILLIANISON, VII Class
