The prize was a silver cup on which will be engraved the name of the school. Martha Towne won a bronze medal for placing third highest as an individual. The team went to Syracuse on May I5 to compete with winners from other parts of the state. The outcome of the contest, however, was not known at the time the book went to press. J IMMY'S fl DST MCVI E Since it was Jimmyls fifth birthday, I thought I would take him to see his first movie. Little did I realize the embarrassment that I was to suffer in consequence. I made my first mistake before we had even reached the theater, on our way I innocently bought Jimmy a bag of peanuts with shells on them, and we then con- tinued blissfully on our way. When we reached the theater, I bought the tickets and gave Jimmy his, thinking that he would like to hand it to the usher himself. Jimmy, however, didnit see why he should give up his ticket and the usher, firm and relentless, wouldnlt let us in without it, even though he saw it in Jimmy's hand. Matters seemed at a standstill, with me standing helplessly by, when Jimmy suddenly seemed to de- cide that the ticket was of no value anyhow and so gave it to the usher who haughtily waved us into the lobby. I held my breath as we passed through it, not knowing what to expect from Jimmy. Fortunately nothing happened so we started into the theater proper to look for our seats. We didnlt get very far though, because Jimmy simply refused to step an inch farther into the place when he saw it was dark. I felt like grabbing him by the collar and yanking him to a seat, but I knew what would follow if I did, so I refrained. Instead, I meekly recrossed the lobby with Jimmy and humbly and tearfully begged the haughty usher to secure a flashlight and to accompany us to our seats. He glared at us and seemed to be on the point of throwing us both out when the manager appeared so the usher, too, had to pocket his pride as I had done and help us to our seats, pushing us into them a little roughly, I think! but then who could blame him? Thankfully I sat down with Jimmy beside me, thinking that things were all right at last. They were for about two minutes, and then Jimmy started rattling the paper bag that held the peanuts. Not satisfied with this, he started cracking the peanuts and then crunching them between his teeth. Never before had peanuts made so much noise. People turned and glared at me, and one lady even hinted that shc would go to the usher unless the noise was stopped. The mention of that usher was too much for me. I grabbed Jimmie and bore him, yelling and shrieking, out into the lobby and so out into the street. There a policeman grabbed me, thinking, I suppose, that I was kidnaping the still shrieking Jimmy. Had it not been that two friends of mine came along just then and assured the policeman that I was Jimmy's uncle, I think that Jimmy and I would have spent the rest of the day in jail. Doubtfully the policeman finally let us go, and after our release, my two friends grinned and went laughingly on their way. As for Jimmy and me, disgraced and subdued, we slunk home and went to lied. . Dorothy Wenz.
