How many of us know how the Brazilian nut, commonly called niggertoe, grows? Sixteen or twenty nuts are found in one shell somewhat resembling a coeoanut. lt would be quite disastrous for any one to be struck on the head with one of these because of its weight. Thre are many more displays of minerals, woods, butterflies, plants, flowers, shells, fish, birds' eggs, cotton and coral, but while all are interesting it would take too long to tell about them. Last, but not least, are the pre-historic animals, among them the Duck Billed Dinasaur which makes us glad we did not live in that age and leaves us to wonder what we should do if we should meet one today. Ruth Daniels, 8A'2 .99 U9 3 Sherman 8A's 1 We belong to the Sherman School, And are very happy, as a rule, But some days are so terribly hot, We do the things we really ought not. Il But we always have a little fun. Until the old school bell has rung, And then come in so straight and good, And do the right things as we should. III We never laugh, or talk, or play, And always mind what teachers say, We study our lessons as hard as can be, For we're the 8A's as you see. IV Our class is clever, and very bright, For we think of our studies day and night. Our many lesso11s we always know, In that way pleasing the teachers so. Helen Jorgensen, 8A1 J or .3 Mythology in Astronomy Often times the study of the sciences demands the use of many materials, which-are often hard to obtain. But there is one science the study of which one may begin, without the use of instruments and with the material ever at hand. This subject is astronomy. On any clear night you may see the heavenly bodies which have interested mankind for over four thousand years. The Greeks were so impressed by the planets and constellations, that they gave them the names of their gods and goddesses. v v

Then too, there is the mighty Jupiter, who ruled the early Roman world, and whom the Greeks called Zeus. You have noticed Mars, the god of war, Mercury, the messen- ger of the Grecian gods ,and also Neptune the god of the sea. In the northern sky may be seen the Pleiades, the messengers of the heavens, moving from east to west. and the Milky Way, once called the pathway of the gods, which is composed of a great number of small stars. Children thrill with the story of Orion, the mighty hunter, as they see him pictured in the western heavens. We nmst not forget Castor and Pollux, the Immortal Twins, whom we see near Orion. These names explain the impression which the heavens made upon the Greeks and Romans, and other early people, but today we give the scientific Xplanation. rather than the mythological one. Helen Jorgensen, 8A1 5 .fer 3 Stars One night, years ago, three giants met to play ball under the moon's shining rays. Their bat was a mighty tree, their ball a huge lump of silver. The game started, with the moon smiling down upon them. There were no stars in the heavens as there are now, but the moon shed enough light for the ball players. Two of the players struck out. The third giant was now up. He gave the bat a mighty swing. Away soared the hall, out ot sight. The other two giants were very angry and went away, leaving the other one behind. The giant left behind sat on the grass and wept. lt hurt him very much to have his companions angry with him. Looking into the sky he saw the ball, now a tiny speck in the distance. But what had happened? The hall had burst, sending shining little pieces of silver in all directions. These burst also, and soon the sky was filled with silver stars that gleamed and twinkled in the night. The giant was so surprised that he sat on the grass and gazed into the sky as if it were falling upon him. He could hardly believe that the ball had sent those shining stars into the sky. All night the giant watched them, thinking they would soon fall to the ground. But the moon knew better, and, smiling down upon the scene, thought with gladness that she now would have the help of the stars in lighting -the world at night. Ruth Seidel, SB.
