64 THE CHRONICLE in connection with the study of good ex- pression and enunciation in the reading program. .i. 1-il-1 U. S. A. It is hard to describe America. From its rolling hills to its pounding surf, it is all beautiful. From California, land of sunshine, to Maine and its rockbound coast, you are filled with love for its beauty. Fields and fields of amber grain, rich and ready for harvest, or- chards upon orchards of rich, ripe fruit: gigantic mountains of beauty with high peaks above the clouds, towering red- woods and green graceful pines, are all part of America. From the High Si- erras to Death Valley there is such grandeur that can't be compared. From the clear blue waters of the Great Lakes to the mad rushing rivers that go on their way to the ocean, there is beau- ty. From the high Appalachian Moun- tains to the vast heated deserts of Ari- zona, beauty can't be compared. The high peaks and cliffs of the Grand Can- yon and the soft rustling of the palm trees are all in America's beauty. The great cities with their tall sky scrapers are some of the largest and the most beautiful in the world. The United States of America is the most beautiful country in the world and we must al- ways keep it that way. -Astrid Sundwall COURTESY IN SCHOOL During the fall, winter, and spring months a great deal of your time is spent in the little red schoolhouse . You form many habits that will stick with you throughout the rest of your life. If you have good manners in school, later in your life elsewhere you also will have good manners. A few things we should remember in being courteous. When in the corridor you pass in front of someone, excuse yourself. Try to avoid going in front of persons talking. Never interrupt persons talking to ask them something, tell them something, or show them something. Never draw a person away from his friends to tell or show him something private. Wait until he is alone. In the classroom don't talk to some- one when someone else is reading or speaking to either an individual or the class. When in study hall, don't chew gum or candy, be quiet, and don't move all around. If you are asked to do some- thing for a teacher, do it cheerfully and not grouchily. When the bell rings and you are pass- ing to another class, in or out of the building, or to study hall, don't push. shove, or shout. All this has a bearing on your getting a good job later in life. An employer likes to ask a teacher for references. If a teacher writes and says you are 1 ide, your employer will not want you. It always pays to be courteous in the end. -Nancy Bourgois MY RETREAT A large two story log house is tucked away between the roaring ocean in front and high mountains to the rear. Lo- cated back among the firs and unpaint- ed, it is invisible from the ocean or the air. The only telltale marks on the face
