22 THE RED AND WHITE the ghost opened the door and swal- lowed the squeak in it. Then, when the mouse came in, the ghost blew in- to the mouse's hand, and told him to swallow it. He did that and he started squeaking. He was happy once again. That is how the mouse got his squeak. How We Get Our Lakes, S treams, and Ponds BEVERLY HANSON, '57 Many years ago, when the earth was lived on by only a few tribes of people there lived a very cruel giant. He was one of the largest and most cruel giants in the whole world. One day he got into one of his meanest moods and all of a sudden the people heard a terrible roar and out of the woods came the giant. Now he was so big that everything he stamped upon was crushed and he just kept going till there was nothing left to crush or destroy. Then feeling very pleased with himself he sat down to rest. As he was resting he noticed how quiet it was. There was not a sound anywhere. He got up and started looking for some other per- son to talk to, but he could not find anybody. He began to feel lonesome and started to cry and as the tear- drops fell they formed little streams and ponds. As he cried harder and harder lakes and rivers formed. He wandered on and on hoping to find some people and there was always more streams, ponds, lakes and riv- ers. So that is how we have our lakes, streams, ponds, and rivers in the world today. i The Day Earth Was Saved ROBERT DALE, '54 Did you ever wonder what would cause the end of the world and who would cause it? To find out let us listen in on a conversation between 1 two men sitting in a large office of an ultra-modern ofiice building. One of the men is Professor John H. Williams, the other is Joe Jack- son of the Planetary Express, a news- paper reporter. What are these men talking about? They are talking about the people of the twenty-iirst century-our children to be. Professor Williams, says Joe, what have you discovered in your latest expedition to the island that due to volcanic eruptions has risen up out of the sea ? Joe, Professor Williams says, You will be the first person other than those who were on my expedi- tion to hear of what we discovered. I've chosen you because you represent the greatest newspaper in the coun- try and it is only fair that the news- paper should tell of the greatest dis- covery in history, or should I say about history! . We discovered that we were not the first people to inhabit the Earth -there were people here long before us. These people were very much like us. They had their faults and their greatest one was war. They had fought several wars and the con- querors. Just because there was no one left to fight with on earth they declared war on Mars. It was then that they made their mistake for Mars was too powerful and they killed all life on Earth. Life then started all over again and that life is us. Professor, do you mean there was a generation of people before us ? I mean just that, Joe. Well, Professor, there might have been generations before that. There might have been, Joe. Professor, said Joe, I just had a thought. We have had wars and we are the conquerors. Only last week a huge bomb came from the planet Venus and now we are declaring war on that planet. Professor, do you CContinued on Page 281

L..,,.l....--1 The Beans Short Tail SHIRLEY KENYON, '57 At one time a little bear was very lonely and sad. This was because he had no tail. Not only that, but all of the big husky mother and fa- ther bears wouldn't let their baby bears play with him because he didn't have any handsome tail. The poor little bear didn't have anyone but his mother and father. All this time his mother and father didn't know how sad and lonely he was. This bear's name was Bobo. He was a nice little bear and went to church every single Sunday. He always prayed and prayed to God to give him a tail just like the other bears. One day he knew that there was going to be a picnic and a swimming party. Little Bobo thought he'd go, too. When he got there everyone was laughing and playing, but they all left in a little while. Bobo was crying, and very sad as he sat on a rock at the shore of the water. The sun shone down on him and also in the water. There was a little breeze blowing by, and it wrinkled little waves in the reflected water. More and more, the reflec- tion shaped itself into the lovely form of an angel. Bobo was very aston- ished. He tore his eyes from the wa- ter to see, in the sky just over his head, a beautiful angel. Bobo knew God must have sent her: She had long, light curly hair and it shone brightly in the warm sun. Her eyes were kind and friendly. Bobo stared at her and knew no harm would come to him. This lasted for about a min- ute. Finally the angel spoke to Bo- bo. She said, 'Do not be frightened, Bobo, I am here to help you. .She touched him with her shining magic wand, and told him to walk back through the streets of his small town. Then suddenly she vanished. So Bo- bo walked through the streets as she had told him to and everyone was noticing his beautiful tail. From then on he had plenty of friends and fun, and Bobo had the best tail of all the bears and was very happy. .........1-.....L..-- How the Mouse Got His Squeak JUNELLEN OSBORNE, '57 Once upon a time there was a mouse who lived in a haunted house. He felt sorry because he could not squeak and all the other mice could. He tried and tried to make squeaky noises but he couldn't. There also happened to be ghosts living in this house. Sometimes these ghosts were kind and other times they weren't. But, this time, one of them was being kind. He went up to the mouse and told him that if he'd help him haunt everybody that went into the house, he'd try to give him a squeak. The mouse thought for a moment and then he thought he'd try out this plan. The mouse carried out his part of the bargain and did it well. The ghost was very pleased. The ghost was now going to keep his word, and he told him to go and run around the tree, then come back to the house. While he was out doors,

, I NEED OF PRAYER CARLENE WIGGIN, '53 There's great turmoil in our nation, And precious blood is spilled, In a war in far Korea, Where our boys are being killed. And parents' hearts are asking, Must we suffer this againg Must our sons continue dyingg For the greed and hate of men? There's a great need of our leaders, In the nations of today, It must be they've forgotten, To kneel to God and pray. If each person in this country Would take problems to our Lord, He who is one almighty, Gives promises his Ward. That a nation undivided, Ever trusting in the Lord, Would never be forsaken, But be saved through love of God. So let us at home remember, While there's trouble everywhere, To support our boys and nationg With the greatest power, Prayer. pf ff' gras Hd. 4? .Z xx 'P mx THE ONE THING THAT DOESN'T The And The But CHANGE FRANK Pozzi, '52 wind and rain may come and go colored leaves fall to and fro. sun may shine, the sun may hide one great love will e'er abide.
