Start a bank account. When you grow older, you will be glad that you saved your money, when you were young. Helen Mc Guire, 8A2 Luella Tomrell, 8A1 V99 ,bl V53 Why the Cock Crows at F our O'clock in the Morning Grandfather, asked Dannie, as he sat on his grandfather's knee, before the great fireplace, why does the rooster crow at four o'clock in the morning? Well, began Grandfather, long ago there lived a certain tribe of fairies about six inches high. Every night they would go to the forest and dance in the moonlight. However, they had to be very careful. for if they danced too long. until the day dawned, they would become blind. But one particularly beautiful moonlight night, as a small band were dancing, they forgot to be careful, and the morning light stole in through the trees, half blinding many of them before they could hide beneath the leaves. Now, they were in a very sad plight, for even a fairy 's power could not restore their sight, so they decided to go and see if their Queen could not find a safeguard against the danger of dancing too long. For the next night, they planned a great meeting of all the fairies, to talk over the matter. 'fThe next night, the Queen held court under a large oak in the forest. Several of the fairies had thought of plans, but none were quite suitable. At last, the Queen herself said that she had an idea. She would go and ask Mr. Cockletoo fthe rooster at Mr. Brown's farm yardl to crow at four o'clock in the morning, just before daybreak, so that the fairies could go safely to their homes. HAH agreed that this was a very good plan. The Queen at once flew off to ask the rooster. The rooster, when asked, agreed to crow at the proper time. 'tThe next two nights, the rooster crowed as he had been asked. The third night, however, he was so sleepy that he failed to awaken, and, of course, the fairies did not know how late it was getting. Suddenly, to their horror, the low-hanging moon disappeared be- hind the distant hills, and they saw daylight. They quickly covered their faces, but they were too late. Those who had been half blind before, now became totally blind, and the others half blind. They went and told their Queen at once. She was very angry, and flew to see the rooster. Mr. Cockletoo looked very sheepish when the Queen told him

I4 SHERMAN ANNUAL, JUNE, 1922 a dramatic committee, which should have at every meeting some- thing entertaining to present to the class. Every week at an hour appointed by the teacher, the class meet- ing is held in the room. At this meeting, every one is expected to give some interesting report or current event. If some member does 11ot give a report of any kind, he must hand in a written com- position. After tl1e reports are given, all the business of the class is dis- eussed. lt there is still enough time, the dramatic committee is al- lowed to present their program. Thus the meetings are always en- joyable as well as beneficial. Every two weeks a mayors' convention is held. The president of the student body, who is elected from the eighth grade, presides at this convention. The mayor of each grade from four li to eighth A grades must be present, or they may send a representative. The vice-president and secretary of the Student liody also attends. The meeting of all the mayors is held in order to give the mayors a chalice to report the work oi' their 1'oon1. Matters concerning school business in general, are also discussed. The result of the co-operation between the faculty and the stu- dents has been that the latter have established better habits of self- eontrol, and developed more self reliance. lt has taught them to speak in public, as well as to work in co-operation with each other. We feel that the t'o-operalive Civic League of this school has been a great success. We hope the students will carry the lessons they have learned through high school and will not forget them in later life. By Fay M. Edman, BA2 and King Telleson, 8A1 I J J5 Banking Every school in San Diego has a banking system. Sherman is no exception. This banking system teaches the children to save their pennies, instead of spending them for candy, gum, Eskimo pies, nickel shows, etc. Miss Shaw, the Vice principal, has charge of all the money de- posited in Sherman School bank. She carries this banking on in a very business like manner. All children who deposit money in the school' bank are given a small red book for school banking only. After the money has bee11 taken from the school bank, and de- posited in the city banks, each depositor receives a small bank book from the city bank. During the year. Miss Minor's class has deposited the largest amount of money. The class has deposited two hundred seventy eight. dollars. ' Miss Collier's class comes second with a total of two hundred seventy five dollars. There are three rooms having o11e hundred per cent banking.

I6 SHERMAN ANNUAL, JUNE, l922 in an angry voice what had happened, and hc apologized profusely, promising to always awaken after that. 'l'he Queen said, 'Very well, Mr. t'ockletoo, l'll give you one 1no1'e chanceg and then il' you fail, l will throw a spell over you, so that t'orever and ever, you. and your descendants will have to wake up and crow at Your o'clock in the morning, no matter how tired you may bc.' The Queen went away. For a long timc after, the rooster was t'aithl'ul, until one morning he tailed to awaken, causing many ol' the fairies to go blind. VVhen at last he did awaken, the Queen was beside him. She had come to fulfill her threat. Ever after, the poor roosterhwas compelled to wake up at four, and crow, So it is when you liear the roosters crow in the early morniug,x you will know they are warning the fairies ot' the approaching day. That was a very nice story, Grandfather, said little Dannie, yawning, but l'm sorry that the rooster didn 't have an alarm- cloek. Perhaps he would have waked up then. I Wt'll, l guess you'll need an alarm clock it' you don 't go to bed pretty soon, laughed Grandfather. CThe Endj Rihohy lllerchant, SAL 3:2292 , . The Stars Baseball Game One night the stars gathered together behind a dark cloud. They were wondering what new game to play. - Suddenly a star piped up and said, 'tLet's play baseball as the children ofthe earth play. 'Phe very thing, cried all the others, 'tbut who will we have for umpire ?'l Why, the moon of course, said a little star. Will you, pointing to the moon, be umpire? asked the stars in a chorus. Wl1y', yes, answered the moon. You,'l pointing to a few large stars, be first, seeond and third basemen, and you be pitcher and you be catcher. 'tliut what are we going to have for the bat and ball? asked a star. VVhy, the bowl ot the dipper for the ball and the handle tor the bat, of course, chirped up a little star. K 'tAll right, play ball, . yelled the excited moon. The game Went on all night and the stars liked it so much they have played it every night for years. H , Every time a home run is knocked, the mortals on earth see a shooting star, and exclaim, HOh! see the falling star. I 'wondei why it fell. - -Thyrza Dodge, 7B.
