lic lx Ji LSI ,KAW ff! 'If A A , h ' I GATHERING WILD FLOWERS One pretty spring day my girl friend, Mildred, and I decided to go pick some wild flowers. We each took a basket with some lunch in it and started off. On arriving at the park we put our baskets on a large rock and began to gather violets. It was not long before we heard the twelve o'clock whistles blowing. We ate our lunch and then picked some more flowers. When we finished we arranged our posies into nosegays and took them to a nice old lady who was sick with rheumatism. She was so pleased to think we remembered her that she put the bouquets into a vase and appreciated them as much as if they were American Beauties. We were so glad to see how happy we had made our new acquaintance that we promised to bring her some more flowers. MARY VIRGINIA EAGAN, Fourth Grade. THE ADVENTURES OF A NICKEL I was sleeping contentedly with my brothers and sisters buried underneath the ground near thq St. Lawrence River. One day I was brought up to the surface by some miners. They called me ore. I was sent to a smelter. Oh. how hot it was there! I was melted into a burning liquid. When I cooled I hardly knew myself. I was a pretty bright metal. Nickel was the name they gave me. Uncle Sam bought me and sent me to a mint at Philadelphia where I was made into a nickel. I was put into a roll with many like myself and sent to a bank. One day an old fiddler came in and asked to exchange a dollar bill for five and ten- cent pieces. I was one of the willing ones to go. I stayed in his pocket for some time. Shortly after he gave me to a boy for delivering a package. I was so pretty and bright he disliked to part with me, but he became so hungry for some candy that he was willing to give me up. Later I was given to a little country boy. This was the beginning of my many adventures, all of which I shall not relate. I am glad now that I am resting in a little girl's bank. There are many of us and we have great times together. FRANCES CONNOR. Fourth Grade. Remember Rachel, said the lady to the new maid. There are just two things I insist upon: Truthfulness and obedience. Yes'm, said Rachel, and 'when you tell me to tell the callers that you are out when you are in, which shall it be, truthfulness or obedience?

Heard in a geography lesson: A cape is something to wear. An export is one who knows a whole lot. The cardinal points are: To love, honor and obey. One hundred .pf . 11 5.-. ::.

.,e,.O-,. eo fig Y , .- .- ,W 4 Q Ill 1 l POP-CALLS I can almost hear you say, What is a pop-call? It is a short visit regularly made by someone whom you love and esteem. We, the pupils of the Redemptorist School, have them frequently. They have come to mean much in our school life, even though we may not have thought of them as pop-calls. Usually during the forenoon, the classroom door opens fif not already sol and the eager faces of the assembled children turn. A smile lights up each countenance. Our beloved Pastor has come in for a brief visit. These little calls are looked forward to by all of us. If due to overwork or other pressing engagements we are deprived of our guest, disappointment may be read on every face. After the usual greeting on a certain occasion, Father Gunn said, How would you like to have a free day? Simultaneously came the reply, Oh, yes, Father. Father answered, You may have two days this week-Saturday and Sunday. Immediately the excla- mation, oh--l was heard and our visitor departed. These little pop-calls have done a great deal to cheer and encourage our young hearts. Don't you think so? JANE O'GARA, Fourth Grade. THE CARE OF A BOOK No good citizen likes to see or to own dirty things. He always does his best to keep clean everything he uses. When his hands become soiled he can wash them, but when his book becomes damaged or soiled in some other way it cannot be made as good as it was before. So it is important that everyone who wishes to become a good citizen and to help govern the country should learn the first rule of cleanliness: Keep yourself and everything about you as clean and neat as you can. You can begin at this very moment by promising to take good care of the book that you are going to use for several years. Make a cover for your book, and write on the cover this promise with your signature: I promise to keep this book from being torn, soiled, blotted, pencil-marked, dog-eared and broken- backedf MARY PHILOMENE.
