l, December, Nineteen Twenty-Seven 9 In the Grades my course was selected for me, and I was required to take it whether I wanted to or not. These are a few reasons why I like High School better than Grade School. Robert Griffith. 1-.fl THE ADVENTURE OF A BOOK IN THE FIRE. Mr. Book was lying in a desk where he had been left by someone when school was out. He was not alone in this desk, but had two companions. Mr. Book and his companions were asleep in the desk. The night was very warm and of course the windows were closed. This made it hard for the books to sleep and breathe. So Mr. Book got up and walked to a win- dow and raised it. This let the air in and they could sleep very much more comfortable. They were awakened by a terrible smoke that enclosed them. They could not see and the room was getting warmer and warmer. All of a sudden the room began to light up as if someone had turned on a light. They wondered what all this could mean so one of them got up out of the desk and looked around a little but could not find anything wrong, only that the room was full of smoke and was lit up. The Books did not know what to do for they did not like this terrible smell of smoke. They all three got out of the desk and walked around through the building looking for the Mischief Maker. One of them came onto the fire and hurried back to tell the other Books what he had found. They all decided to get out of the building as quickly as possible. They all started down the stairs and when they were at the top of the other stairs a great mass of fire fell just behind them, trapping them there in. the midst of it all. They knew they would all be burned to death, so they yelled to oneanother to try to get out. They all made a wild dash through the fire, but only one got away, while the other two burned to death. He ran out of the building and ran to a safe place and sat down to rest, say- ing to himself, I sure had a narrow escape. Miles Frail. iiki.. RAH! RAH! RAH! The one big thing that this School needs is an organized .cheering body. Other Schools come here, and have their yell leaders, and everyone yells for all that's in 'em. We have a very good yell leader, and everyone wants to yell but no one yells. Then everyone thinks Toulon has no Spirit. This is my idea upon the subject. Everyone should try to think up new yells. The yells that we have now are the sameyells we have had ever since Toulon has had a High School. Everyone must get influenced, and then they will stick together and yell. School is dismissed at 3.15. If everyone stayed at least fifteen min- utes aifter school and met in the Study Hall, or some other convenient place, we could then have an organized cheering body. Let's try. RAH! RAH! RAI-I! Philip Beamer.
