I had forgotten my Chi- cago relatives and was glad to hear the news. It seemed strange that all of a sud. den we were going to take a trip on a train and I was immensely happy as it seemed as though we had lived in Fayetteville all my life, although it was only four Years. I was so overjoyed that I ran out to tell my friends soon after dinner. When Doro- thy heard the news she became so un- happy and surprised that she sat down upon our steps and cried. As I put my arms about her she vowed that she would come along if it were to the other end of the world. My last night in Fayetteville was spent at Dorothy's house. When I came home ln the morning, all of our fur. niture had been packed and we were to be ready that afternoon to leave our house. As I came with my mother, sister, and brother, to say goodbye to Dorothy's folks I was told that Dorothy was playing and that it would be better not to see her before we left. As our train pulled out of Fayetteville I did not realize that at that moment I was leaving the best years of my life be- hind me. PEARL KOSECKE, ' ANOTHER REASON FOR SABIN'S PRIDE We were proud indeed, while looking through the Daily News to find Pearl Kosecke, of room 106, SA, announced ln the W. A. B. C., a book club, as the wln- ner of a prize presented for writing the best weekly report. The prize book report was written on Tranquillity Houself, a mystery story. We are proud to reprint the following report which recently ap- peared in the Daily News. The pnize this week goes to Pearl Kosecke, 1505 North Hoyne Avenue. She writes: 'Tranquillity House', by Augusta H. Sea- man, is a delightful story of mystery and adventure for girls. 'Elslleth Curtis and her sister, Con- stance, are the chief characters of the story. When they are very young they come to live at Penryd, New Jersey, a dear, little, old-fashioned village cozlly situated on the banks of a tiny, lovely river. Next door to their cottage is old, rambling Tranquillity House. They spend much of their time there with the owner, Mr. Benham. One day Constance, while get- ting a book for Mr. Benham sprained her ankle. Mr. Benham insists that they stay there, because, he says, that it is his own fault. The spraining of the nnkle led to the discovery of an old chest, then the mystery begins. Constance and Elspeth, after working hard, finally solve the mys- tery and bring back to Mr. Benham his long lost nephew. At the end all are happy andkMr. Benham rewards them for their wor .' 'I enjoyed this book because it is mys- terious and adventurous, but most of all because it is mysterious. I am sure every one likes a mystery, at least I do, don't you?' 'The W. A. B. C. Club shall welcome newcomers to their club. Several mem- bers of the book club have written to say that they hope to see it reinstated in Sen. tembcr. Let us have votes from the rest '1fyou, so wc shall know what to do. GOLDEN KEYS A bunch of golden keys are mine, To make each day with gladness shine: Excuse me, Beg your pardon, too When by mistake some harm I do. I'll use my little Thank you key. Good-morning. is the golden key That unlocks every door for me. And close the door of each glarl day: When evening comes, Good night, I S9-Y. When at the table, If you please I take, from off my bunch of keys. When friends give anything to me, Or if unklndly harm I've given XVlth Sorry! I shall be forgiven. On a golden ring these keys I'll bind This is its motto, Be ye klnd I'll often use each golden key, And then a child polite I'll be. Hearts like doors swing wide with ease When I insert my little keys. And don't forget that they are these. I thank you, slr, and If you please. Lillian Sanuk, 2 0 3.

Large audiences witnessed all three of the presentations, offered Wednesday after- noon, Wednesday night, and Thursday night. The beautiful scenery and elaborate cos- tumes delighted the spectators. The sing- ing was the keynote to the play. Some- times it was stirring, sometimes pathetic, and sometimes romantic. The students and faculty members who strove to produce a successful graduation play have had their desire realized. A v Jiiiex- .gm -may Y gg, G iga The synopsis of the story follows: King Alonzo of Castile is celebrating the anniversary of his coronation. In addition he is giving the people an opportunity to see a very rare jewel which has come into his possession and besides this he has de- cided to give his daughter's hand to The most faithful in all the realm. It develops that Don Hernandez de Cas- tile, a rich nobleman and sultor for the hand of the Princess, sent the jewel to the King as a gift and comes to the festival to win the hand of the daughter. A wandering Troubadour happens to come to the celebration and his song at- tracts the attention of the princess. A moment later the King is told that his jewel has been taken and they decide to send for a wise hermit who llves in the forest who is to try to flnd the culprit and if possible recover the gem. The hermit arrives next day and tells the king that his donkey has the mysterious power of discovering evil-doers. The donkey is taken into a dark passage and all are asked to pass through and stroke his hack which has been blackened with soot. As 'hey come out of the dank passage all the people have one hand black. The trouba- 'lour has neither hand black because he did not stroke the donkey's back. This 'mrands him as the culprit and he ls taken to the judges to whom he admits having 'alien the gem and hidden it because he 'md recognized lt as the ill-fated gem of Boabdil, the last of the Moorish Sultans 'n Spain, which had an evil spell cast over it years ago and that misfortune would pursue the owner. The troubadour re- fuses to tell where he hid the jewel and 's sentenced to the dungeon for llfe. The princess tells the court jester, however. that she saw him hide it and they find it. The hermit notices that the evil charm which had rested on the gem has been lifted because of the youth's noble inten- fContinucd in Next Colmmll THE SULTAN'S JEWEL-Cont. tion.

Since she was staying she wanted to solve one problem. I P Janet and Elsa were two of the great- est chums, but Janet was quick and clever whlle Elsa was slow and dull. Both ate lunch at school and so Miss Brant decided one day to eat,lunch with them. The two girls were overjoyed and when they opened their lunches, Miss Brant saw that Elsa's lunch contained all sweets and coffee- Janet envied Elsa for having such good tasty lunches and when Miss Brant looked at Janet's lunch, she saw milk, cheese sandwiches and nuts. The lunch hour passed happily and the next day Miss Brant came to school with a box. The children were eager to See what it contained and Miss Brant opened it and they saw two white mice peeping out. Oh's and Ah's were heard throughout the room and Miss Brant an- nounced that as long as Elsa and Janet wre eating their lunch at school they were to take care of the mlce, feed them with their own lunches, etc. Janet's mouse was named Rosie and put in a blue, cage and Elsa's mouse WHS named Josie and put in a yellow cage- Days went,by.

A mongrel all tan and white, With a senious eye and a friendly mein, And an incessant love for a tight. He was known for blocks, this Roamer, Loved by every child, And the grumplest man in all the town, Had looked at the dog and smiled. He died on the morn of Christmas, And all was hushed and still. As they buried this dog, this Roamer, In a grave, on the top of the hill. And on top of the hill, on the tomb- stone, ls carved an inscription bold: Was this a dog? No, a comrade So true, with a heart of gold. By Sid Harris. THE SABINITE STAFF wants Original Stories, Articles, Jokes, Drawings, etc. ,,, , What I enjoy more than anything is to see a baseball game between the Chicago Cubs and the New York Giants, Brooklyn Robins or Pittsburgh Pirates. I like especially to go on Ladles' Day , because then there's sure to and lots of fun. I remember on Ladies' Day, and heard remarks. A woman sitting shouted out: Just look at that man on second trying to run when the pitcher's back is turned! Isn't he a coward? And one ln front of me ther favorite player must have been Hack Wilson, the Cub's center flelderl said: C-ome on Hack hit a homer when one of the Robin's was up at the bat and the Cubs were out in the fleld. And another lady somewhere from bo- hind fafter Hartnett hit a three baggerl: Oh. look at the man running around the pillows. He's past the second one now. That's two we've got. Now he's past the third one. That makes three! And now he's golng to make one more, Cas Hart- nett slides for the plate and is called out on a close decisionl. How much does he get for that? The Cubs had to go ln for extra innings because the score was a tie. In the eleventh inning with Cub runners on second and third, two outs, one woman suddenly got up and said to another who was with her: My word! It's after six o'clock, I've got to run along. The lady who was with her said: What, yon're not going now, my dear, just when it's most exciting? The other lady: I can't help lt. I've got to go. My hushand's getting dinner tonight. And If I get in after it gets cold, I won't get any at all. Stephanie Zakolskl, 311. WINNING CLEAN-UP LETTERS-Cont. best towards spring.
