IHI IIIIH IIIIIIIII AN EXCITING ADVENTURE It was Sunday. Jane and Sue had just gotten in from church. NLet's go on a picnic todayf, said Jane. HPlease may we go, mother? Finally their mother consented. After everything was ready, they set out after lunch for the beach. They had planned to take a swim first and then have their supper there. After waiting a while after lunch they got into their bathing suits and went in. They found it fun, but they also found there was a big undertow. After swimming all day they got ready for their supper. HPlease, Sue, while you gather some wood, couldn't l swim a while longer?,, said Jane. MAII right, but donit forget, don't go out farf' While Sue was away, the tide came in. Jane did not care, for she went out farther and farther. All of a sudden she realized how far she was from shore. A big wave was coming, too. If she did not swim away, she surely would be crushed against the rock. But she couldnit swim in, and the wave was getting nearer and nearer! 'I0hI l wish Sue would come. lf only l could swim in. Suiddenly she decided to dive through it. She did, but she was much farther out and nobody was around. The undertow was getting the best of her. What was that coming down the beach? lt was Sue! HJ-lelpl Help! screamed Jane. Sue saw her, but she was running away. Surely she could not be deserting her. Sue was running for help for she knew she was not a good enough swimmer to save someone. The last thing Jane saw was two people running down the beach. Then every- thing went black for Jane. Slowly but surely, she opened her eyes. By that time a crowd had gathered.

THE Ill HTH IIHAHE HOW THE MANHATTAS LIVED The Manhatta lndians lived on what is now Manhattan lsland. Their houses were made of thin sticks and little trees bent over and tied together, with bark over the frame. They grew corn, beans, pumpkins, and squash. They wore clothes made of deerskin. The men made dugout canoes by cutting down a big tree. They built a fire in the log and then took a stone and scraped out the inside. ln the evening they wrapped themselves in robes made of skins and lay down on piles of furs. The waves fell quietly against the shore. S ir THE MANHATTAN VILLAGE WE MADE One day at school we made a Manhattan Indian Village on the sandbox. The village was a group of huts made of twigs and brown paper. We made the lndians out of clothespins and dressed them in crepe paper. We made some clay pots. We also made some canoes out of clay. We used twigs to make a rack for drying meat, and for meat we used small scraps of brown paper. Then we got some pine twigs to represent trees and arranged them around the village. Some of the lndians were in canoes and some of them were drying the meat or cooking at the campfires. ANNE MCINTYRI-3, Fourth Grade ir OUR TRIP TO THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL One day we went to the Children's Hospital. Miss Bancroft showed us around. First we went to see the childrenis school room. It is a very nice room. There is a blackboard, and on it, Miss Bancroft drew a picture of the hospital and told us why it was shaped in such a funny way. Then we went to see the nurses, and doctors' dining room. lt is a big room. Then we went to see the nursery. l like the babies best. There was a little colored baby and l thought it was the cutest. There was also a baby that could stand up in bed. He was cute too. SALLY F RY, Fourth Grade 'k THE WIND PLAYS WITCH ON HALLOWEEN NIGHT The wind plays witch on Halloween night. lt bangs the shutters. It whirls down the chimney. lt turns the umbrellas inside out. lt whistles through the tree tops. lt flies the clothes up and down. lt shakes the last apples off the trees. It groans and howls and makes a fierce noise. FREDDIE MAUE, Fourth Grade T 'k A SNOWY DAY When l.woke up The sky was grey. Everything was silent.

BARBARA GRAF, Fifth Grade 'A' A MYSTERY As I was looking out the window, ' A little bird sat near.
