to see who speaks the best and the poorest
English, We do not know who is the best
speaker. But for sure we think we know who
is getting'a booby prize. We will find out
in a couple of weeks who is the best and
who is the worst.
__ My FootPaul Fete, 6th G
“On Friday I cut my foot. It was .qpril 12. It
was after school, when I went down to Pete
Ewan’s place I stayed there a long time.
Then I decided I should go home. I got up
and went out the door. When I got on the *
side of the house there was a nail but I
didn’t see it. Then I walked and I stepped
-right on iti It didn’t hurt too much then.
So I pulled it out. rhad my tennis shoes
on. I bandaged it up and went on home...So
that is how 1 got a nail, in my foot.
ScienceLinda Spencer, 6th
We made pictures of solids, liquids, and
gases. These were fun for we put hands, and
faces and legs on them. I drew a tree and it
looked like something furious. For liquids
there were oictures of soda, water, milk,
and other things; for gases, a balloon, a
rubber ball and the sun. Donald Lorgan had
a weird looking table and chair and Lynn
Craig made a friendly looking airplane with
a big smile, the milk bottle had long
fluttering eyelashes.

the store I saw something sort of dark
brown walking across the road. I ran to
where I saw it. By the time I got there I
could see it a little closer. It looked
something lile a seal. man from the Griz
zly Gift Shop stopped and told me not to
throw rocks at it. I found out that it was
a land otter ’.

How many felt the earthquake last Wednesday

The world is full of problems; but to those
who won’t look past their own backyards,
there is no '• world, and the only problems
are those of their neighbors, which these
people discuss endlessly and usually ill
naturedly. For minds shrunken thru lack of
use are discontented minds, and what is dis
contented is not apt to be kind.
”To thine ownself be true, and it shall
follow as the night the day, Thou cans’t
not be false to others.”
