Literally he's in the iifth or sixth gradeg figuratively, he's in every grade from kindergarden to the senior class. Hmm-must be a pretty smart bird, you say. Well, yes, Oscar is a pretty smart bird. Oscar's our pet crow. . Don't think that he's just anybody's crow though. No Sirl He chooses his associates even as you and I, of course, he's courteous to everyone. Every person that passes by can hear his cheerie Caw--caw Cwhich is crow language for What's cooking, good looking? j but only a favored few can ever get close enough to pet his small, blueblack head. Oscar's no ordinary crow either. Now I ask you, what ordinary crow would come to school? What ordinary crow has a hobby? Or rather, several hobbies? For our Oscar has more than one means of passing his spare time. Oscar is a connoisseur of rare objectsg he plays baseballg he tames wild animals, and he sings. Sings! Why, who ever heard a crow singing! Is that what you're asking? Well, to tell the truth, Oscar can't carry a tune very well, but he does hop to the lowest branch of a small tree lOscar' been grounded, you know. His left wing is brokenj. Well, as I said before, he hops on the lowest branch of any small tree and gives out with Caw-caw. Haw-haw. Ah-qua! QThis is really a hot arrangement of the Hut-Sut Song in code., As for taming wild animals, Oscar's a regular Clyde Beatty in minature. Any of the school kids can tell you how wild about birds Old Tom, the cat, is. For a while everyone was rather scared that Oscar would turn up missing one day, because every time Tom Cat looked at our poor, little innocent Oscar, his eyes would burn with a hungry light and he would slowly lick his feline chops. But now! Oscar takes one look at Tom, and Tom turns and walks in the other direction. Now about the collection of rare objects. Oscar is just and about shiny thing and simply cannot resist picking them up and taking them to his private bank, or perhaps I should say banks because he never uses the same one twice. Oscar is quite athletic, too. The other day he made quite a spectacle of himself on the practice Field in back of the school. The fourth graders were having a very line time when up walks Oscar, who parked himself on home base and stayed therel That is until one of the players ran from home to second base instead of to first. Well, our Oscar knew that wasn't right so he chased the boy all the way to second. Then he parked there for the rest of the game. Yes, sir, our Oscar is quite athletic. There is also a miscrievous streak in Oscar. He loves to untie children's shoestrings, and chase them, and tease them. Sometimes he even scares them, but he is so sweet and apologetic afterward that the youngsters cannot possibly hold anything against him. No, sir. Our Oscar is no ordinary crowl
