THE SEA BREEZE Squid. Ahal thought Wil- liam, he will be good eating. At this he began to creep up on Oscar. Just as he was about to pounce upon Mr. Squid, Oscar reached out with four or five of his legs and enveloped poor William i and then started for the ocean. Once entirely submerged, he began to swim away, but Wil- liam put up such a fuss that this wats impossible, Therefore Os- car decided to let Mr. Leopard go with a good scare, and some- thing to remember him by. Then he proceeded to spray him with the ink-like liquid that Mr. Squid is able to eject and let William go. All this washed off when Mr. Leopard took his monthly bath, but, sad fate that it should be, when the fur thait he had eaten off hard grown out, it was all black. Thus did Oscar Squid reap his revenge. Now, little children, I will stop, and hope to see you all again to-morrow evening. Once again before I close, don't for- get this nightly bed time story is presented through the cour- tesy of Sleep and Co, makers of that great little white candy insomnia tablet. One little tab- let and you will sleep all night long. Good night. Henry Fales, '31. if fPage 263

THE SEA BREEZE F call and left. Looking at Jack sorrowfully, Mrs. White said, Aren't you glad to see me? Jack wagged his tail and held out his paw. He was a black and white fox terrier. E. Woodcock, '33. Don't Rest on Your Laurels When a pupil enters high school a-s a Freshman, he feels inferior and is conscious of his greenness. So he studies hard to show the upper class- men that he's not so dumb. During his Sophomore and Jun- ior years he continues to study, though perhaps not quite as much as he might. You know, he feels grown up then. However, when he becomes a Senior, and especially after the class parts have been awarded, he breathes a sigh of relief. He thinks, Hurrah! Now I can rest. I won't have to study any more this year. I can graduate without studying. There are two reasons for his taking this attitude. One is because he just naturally becomes lazy and thinks he knows all there is to know. The other is because his rank then wonit count for any- thing towards the Class parts. He doesn't realize that exams, rank cards, and class parts don't amount to a thing as far as his future is concerned. What really counts is the knowledge he has obtained in hfigh school. So, under classmen, when you are Seniors, won't you please surprise your teachers by study- ing just as hard as you did the other three years? If you tried very hard, you might possibly learn a FEW more things. A. Maloney, '31. RADIO STORY This, my little children, is Mother Goose talking over sta- tion B-O-O, about to give you the nightly bedtime story, pre- sented each night at this same hour through the courtesy of Sleep and Co., the makers of that little white candy tablet for insomnria. One little tablet and you will sleep all night long. My story this evening will tell how little William Leo- pard got his spots. Now before I begin, Don't forget Sleep and Co.'s Insomnia Tablets. Once upon a time, many years ago, little William Leopard's great, great, etc., grandfather was wandering through the for- ests of Africa in search of his dinner. But all this was in vain, because, on account of the great business depression, brought about by the election of James Elephant to the Presidency of tht United States of Animals, iso the people of William Leo- pard's party sai'd,l food was scarce. After walking for many hours and finding nothing William de- cided to try his fur, as it was summer, and his fur was not needed. Finally he came to the large ocean and there saw re- posing on the shore Oscar fPage 253
