THE HARBOR BEACON I was saying, my mistress thought she wanted a catg though why, when she had a good dog, I can't understand. One day she shut me in the stable and went away Now if I wasn t a disgusted dog never you mind' My mistress seldom left me and when she dld I usually had some one to play with I explored the stable though I knew every nook and cranny of it then I sat down and howled my self hoarse At last It seemed a week my mistress came home and let me out Oh' But I was glad to see her' I forgot the mischief I had been planning up all the after noon I was so glad to get out of that old stable I raced into the house ahead of her and started to Jump lnto my chair I didn t' I stopped in mid air and fell to the floor There IH my chair on my cushion was a cat' The biggest ugliest lazlest ir-ost dlsreputable looking cat I had ever seen in my life I backed off and prepared for a running Jump on top of that cat My mis tress saw me and got hold of my collar and tied me Now to me tying is a horrld disgrace But worse than that my mistress took that good for nothing cat in her lap where I be longed petting it just as she pets me I was so angry I thought to goodness I should burst a blood vessel Just to see that cat in my mistress lap I thought of what I d do to that cat when I got loose and felt better Finally she put that cat down took me in her lap and gave me a good lecture on cats ln general and this one ln particular I didnt understand all of it but I did learn that the cat was going to ln e wlth us that I must be good to It and that it had a long name pedigree they call it ln dogs and that I had one I don t remember the cat s name but It was some kind of a coon Id heard of coon dogs that chase coons up trees and bark for some one to come and kill them I thought I d like to be a coon dog My mistress also told me that I was a selfish Jealous dog and she was ashamed of me That made me angry and I decided she could have her old cat, but she needn't expect me to look after it. My mistress still keeps her cat. The cat and I don t bother each other much Once in a while I tease It a little but we don t fight I think It s what men would call armed neu trahty D W 20 mQQGQC 5 3EQQQ3gQDDC5C lnzals EBEMEDQBBEDQBQCEQDCXXKDQQDBKQQDM Sullivan High School began their soclal functions for the year on Nov 23rd with a Senior social held at the High School building There was a large attendance and everyone enjoyed the program also the candy which was on sale Games were played until a late hour About eight dollars were realized Shortly after this another social was held A farce The Mlrth Provoklng School Poom was presented This was not very successful financially On March 16th the operetta The Isle of Chance was pres nted by the school under the direction of M1 s Jones It was a great success Following IS the cast Greed King of the Isle of Chance Morton Havey Captain of the Good ship Ease Ronald Tracy Subjects of lung Greed FIFSC Folly Agnes Hglt Second Folly Helen Springer Third Folly Daisy Mllne On a Crouch a derellct of the Isle Kennard Haskell Despair his shadow Ma ,fnard Watson Survivors of Good ship Ease Lord M hat the use Wilton Hanna Lady F rlvolous Hope Perklns Slrnpellta Marjorie Springer XX ho Cares Hugh Pettee 1 . , . . . . , - 1 , . . . . ., H ' - 11 1 - 1 . . 1 - 1 , . 1 1 . . . . , .
