We confess that it is a lot ol' viork, but what do we go to High School for? It's worth all the bother iii we call it thatl that we put into it. Not that it's a money-making proposition, because it isn't. We have the Tolo Carnival and our subscriptions to pay for it, but as the printing costs just about balance the other, we never have over seven or eight dollars cleared. - It is issued three times a year. Every class, in fact every pupil, can be represented in this Tolo. When we have three issues, it gives a chance f or more than one class to be editors. ' The first issue fand of course the bestj will be supplied by the Fresh- men aind Sophomores, the second by the Juniors, and the third by the Seniors. Grace Kilby.

December, Nineteen Twenty-Seven 5 CHEWING GUM. The same old worn-out rule-has been made again this year. No gum chewing is allowed in the school building between 8 a. m. and 4 p. m. This rule was posted on the door at the north entrance so everyone would see it. It was put there for two reasons. It was put there to re- mind. those that have gum in their mouths to get rid of it before they en- ter the building. It was put there for those that are not chewing gum as well. They are to warn those that are chewing gum and help them out. Some people have the habit of never reading a sign or anything that will warn them. Some people get in trouble for not obeying the stop sig- nal. They also get in trouble for not obeying this gum chewing rule. They have to write a five hundred word theme, which is not a pleasant thing to do. When they are chewing gum, they are not only disobe-ying one of the school laws but they are also showing ill-manners. So if you want to show good manners, don't chew gum. e 4 y If you see anyone chewing gum, feel as though it is your duty to tell them that they are doing an ill-mannered thing and also disobeying a school law. 1 - .

I was a big pine tree in a forest of the Southern states. I lived by my brothers and sisters for many years. One day a government man came along and stamped a big U. S. on my trunk. It was not long before they built a railroad through the timber and set up a saw mill not very far from me. Soon I noticed that my brothers and sisters had the same stamp on them. A few days later the men started cutting down my brothers and sis- ters and hauling them to the saw mill by train. Then I also was cut down and hauled to the mill pond where I was dumped roughly into the water. I did not like this very much for men stuck big sharp pointed sticks into me, and pushed me into the mill where Istripped off my bark and was put on an endless belt where they sent me to the saw. Here I was cut in strips and then sent to the planer where I was planed and then made into a door. I was kept in a warehouse for a long time before I was sent to a High School and put in as a door. Oftentimes the boys and girls slam me as they go in and out of the room. I do not like this, but I can't help it for I am only a doorb E . .k..1. A PARTICLE OF CARBIDE. I am a piece of carbide. I have many other fellow particles in the can with me, just like myself. I was carried home in a big one hundred pound tin can from Peoria, Illinois. Mercy! I was jammed around so much that I thought I had been mauled. I came into a garage. One of the men carried me in, in the tin can. We had to come home in an old rickety truck. We stayed in the garage for about seven weeks. Two men finally came and carried me and my fellow friends to the north of the house and set us on a big flat stone. They tore the lid from the can with a yank. My! but I was fright- ened. The men dumped us into a bell can and shut it with a bang! I kept saying What will be done next? We were being lowered by this time into the light plant. A great tin lid came down upon us with a loud clap. We were going to be used to give the people in the house light. I said with a frightful tone, When will my turn be ? My! I was scared. Well, good-bye, I will have to go some- time. I only wanted people to know how I feel. I hope that you all can sympathize with me as I am very nervous right now. Most of the rest of my friends have all disappeared and my time is coming! Sarah Biederbeck.
