111' I IL Z? I3 7' CD IV 13 Cf It grew dimmer as the night was drawing near, and the fog was rolling in from the sea, but I could see an occasional street light. GfThen I heard a lot of whooping and hollering, and I could not imagine where it was coming from, when I realized it was coming from the English boat. CIC Then my light was thrown on the deck. There I saw about twelve men in coats of skin and feathers in their heads. Then in the water I saw acid from tea floating with the current. If Suddenly the men, one of whom was the captain, were running to the shore with buckets of water and axes, for, at that moment, the g'Sarah Constant was up in flames. GK Finally the fire died down and the men trooped up the hill. The captain was as angry as he could be. He declared We will end this yet. Then I wondered what he meant for I think the Boston Tea Party ended quite well. Adele 'Thompson 7th Grade INTERMEDIATE PRIZE STQRY THE FIRST HUNT GCNanook sat quietly in the corner of the igloo, listening carefully as the excited Eskimo men talked. ClQ'LWe are starving , said the chief. The wolves have stolen our frozen meat, and all the strong young warriors have gone to hght in the battle for the White Father. We are but a council of old men and there is no one left in the village to hunt or fish. flf Suddenly Nanook ran to the center of the room, the shadows of the fire flickering across his face, 'II will bring food! he shouted. I am Nanook, son of the greatest warrior of them all, and my spears and arrows have been made from the grandfather of all walruses. They will shoot true. III G'You have the heart of a man, said the chief, but you have only seen twelve hunting seasons. Go see to the comfort of your dog, Mukleek, he added kindly. or ClfSilently, Nanook crawled down the long tunnel to where Mukleek was curled up in the snow waiting for him. My father killed his first seal when he was ten winters old! I can do as well. Come, we will try to find that white bear we saw on the ice two sleeps ago. GI He crept into his igloo and prepared himself for the hunt. Then he came out again and put on his snowshoes. L'Mush! he cried to Mukleek and they ran out over the snow. ' GQ They were walking, when suddenly Nanook stopped and shaded his eyes. Mukleek stopped, too, and sniffed the air. ClfL'See? whispered Nanook, Cut there on the ice. That is the white bear we sawf, He crept close and raised his long spear. It flew from his hand and buried itself in the animal. The bear whirled with such force that it seemed to rock the ice. Then he fitted an arrow in his bow and waited for the bear to get close enough to him. He let go and the bear dropped almost at his feet. page 48

MILESTONE THE SQUIRREL I have a little squirrel that sits upon the wall And chatters at the window and doesn't ever fall. He begs for nuts and cookies the cutest sort of way, He holds them in his little mouth, and then he runs away. Penelope Hall g 31d Grade I THOUGHT OF A POEM I thought of a poem all by myself, Of the animals that live on the mantel shelf. There is a monkey with a big brown tail. He sits by a great big whale. There is a dog, and there is a cat. Also there is a mouse and a rat. And they sit quite near the china cat. They are favorites as you can see, But please excuse me, it's time for tea! Margie Foshay 4th Grade A RAINY DAY On a rainy day in the winter The rain dirties up the snow, On a rainy day in the Spring The rain makes the flowers grow. On a rainy day in the summer Tennis you cannot play, Un a rainy day in the fall Gutside you cannot stay. Nancy Vinsonhaler 4th Grade A FAMOUS PARTY GC There was a rumble and a roar upon the Boston Harbor and waves washed up to the shore and the rocks where I was standing. I thought of a night over two hundred years ago when I was the newest of all light houses and my candle was the brightest ever seen. Clf A big boat was sailing around the bend, and my light was thrown on its deck where I could see a tall man with a red coat and brass buttons shout' ing to the crew. The boat was docked and on its bow were printed the words The Sarah Constant . GI Then I did not realize that on that night in December, 1773, was to be a famous land mark in history, and the beginning of a long hard war. page 47

Bl I IL 1? 5? 7' CJ IV I? If He turned to pet Mukleek and saw that the hair on the animal's back was sticking straight up. He looked up and saw a huge pack of grey wolves coming toward them. He began shooting arrows wildly, but they kept coming on. Then the leader, a long lean brute with one ear missing, leaped at the boy's neck, but Mukleek was quicker. There was a wild scramble. Nanook grabbed for the spear that was sticking in the bear. He then thrust it with all his might into the flesh of the snarling wolf. if Nanook sat down and felt along the dog's neck. You were lucky to have so much winter fur, he said. Clfjust then the piece of ice on which they were sitting hit an arm of land that jutted out into the sea. They scrambled ashore and Nanook began pulling the bear after him. The stars which guided him were covered with blinding, stinging snow. The wind howled and pushed him around with a giant hand. He fell often and each time it was harder for him to get up. llfThen, far ahead in the snow, he saw dark shapes coming toward him. The wolves! he screamed and with shaking hands drew out his last arrow, but in his weakness, he dropped it in the snow. He bent down to find it, but this time could not get up. Something touched him and he tried to iight it off. Do not struggle, Little Hunter, said the voice of the chief. We have been looking for you. flf Gently they lifted him upon a sled and covered him with warm furs. Nanook snuggled deeper into them. Sleepily, he sang to himself, MI am Nanook, Nanook-son of the greatest hunter of them all. Joyce Bennett Sth Grade SECOND PRIZE MOVING DAY CI To begin with you try to find a house. You look in papers, go car riding, still you can't find one. You look at houses you don't like, but you buy one anyway. GI The next step you take is looking for a moving van.

Now you are worried, wit never mind. If Monday comes, the movers are right on time, so they get to work. First, they pick up an antique chair, you hold ygur breath, but they make it to the truck. After everything is in the truck, you'get in your car and you're off. The truck drivers follow right behind so that they will know where to go. CI When you get to the house, the movers start to unload. After everything is in the house and the movers have been paid, you decide to take inventory.
