JUNIOR HIGH LITERATURE DARING COURAGE lt was a cool brisk night in April when I was awakened by the faint scream of Help. Thinking it was my imagination,I went back to sleep. Time after time Itagaln was awakened by those same words. Finally, when the suspense grew too much, I got up out of bed to see what was going on. I slipped off my pajamas and put on my other clothes and then crept silently down- stairs and opened the door quietly, so as to prevent awakening my parents. I walked on and on until I came to a large house which looked as if it had been deserted for many years. Somehow, something at- tracted me to the house. It was either the large skeleton which was painted on the door or t.he window which was open on the front side of the house. Scary as it looked, I gathered up enough courage to investigate the place. There had been rumors going around about a mysterious house which people did not dare venture into. The fact was that I was new around these parts and did not hear any information about it. When I looked through the window I saw one of the most horrible sights anybody could see. There were human skeletons hanging about everywhere and dead bodies around on the floor. The thing that really brought my attention about was a large black chest located in a corner of the house. I knew it would be foolish to go into the house without being armed, so I went back home to get my father's gun. When I arrived home I was surprised to see that the gun was gone so I took mother's butcher knife. Getting back to the house I saw from the window a huge monster strangling a young lady who must have ventured into the house. It took all the courage I had to make me slip through the win-dow and creep quietly across the floor to where the chest lay. Once near the chest, I opened the cover very slowly. There in the chest was the hor- rible monster. He started to rise slowly out of the chest, but I took my knife and stabbed it in the heart. Before my very eyes I saw the monster slowly disappear. When I arrived home I called the police to investigate the mat.ter. After a few weeks, peace was linally re- stored, but I will always remember that dar- ing courage will save my life. ROBERT MARTIN MY LAND My land is like a storybook, With pictures everywhere I look, Each scene is like a page to turn, With something new to see and learn. My land is fair for all' to see, And here I always want to beg And as I sit and reminisce, I'm truly thankful for all this. And as I close the book I see, Hills, mountains, lakes and trees. Land of sunshine, land of snow, My land's America, as you know. JANE CooK AUTUMN LEAVES Autumn leaves are in the breeze, Blowing down from all the trees. Their colors, red, orange, yellow, and green, Seem to make them like a queen. Crown of maple, Necklace of oak, Would make a queen a lovely cloak. Autumn leaves are in the breeze, Aut.umn leaves among the trees. SANDRA ROGERS THE PLANET By Beverly Ward The man on the moon Doesn't eat with a spoon. He starves to death When it comes noon. The men on Mars All drive red cars, But watch out They might hit stars. The earth, our pl'ace, Is the best in space, They can't outdo our Human race.
