This became a big joke to mem

A PRACTICAL THOUGHT
One day I saw a foolish bird
cavorting with a cat.
The cat was set upon his prey,
the bird should have known
that.
I watched with great anxiety and
said, “Why don’t you fly?
Do use those wings God gave
you to wing up in the sky.”
Then as I thought upon the scene
that I had witnessed there
It caaae to me convincingly I
had a thought to share.
That is the way we human folk
so often fall in sin
Cavorting with the enemy when
we should flee from him.
The wings of faith God gave us
are meant to use you see
To seek the shelter of His love
and its security.
Arise my friend when tempted
to compromise with sin;
Remember then God's gift of
faith and you will surely win.
For there is not a force on eartli
that can really make you sin
When you are fortified by faith
and fly direct to Him.
Let’s not be tricked or trifled
with, but stand secure and
strong;
"The Crown of Life” is promised
to those resisting wrong.
—Sarah May Garrett

By Tommy Dillard
The biggest news on “the hill”
this week is the same as any
home with children this week—
Spring Vacation! With three
days off from school, there will
be time for skiing parties, mov
ies and various other forms of
recreation. One added treat
came when the rising bell
sounded an hour later Wednes
day morning!
The igloo and igloo founda
tions visible in the door-yard are
not the beginnings of new dor
mitories, but the climax of a
contest between the “B” boys
and girls to see who could con
struct the best “ice” house. The
boys were selected as winners
by Mr. Lee, but the girls were
commended for their diligent ef
forts, which resulted in many
beginnings, cold noses, disgusted
grunts and discarded piles of
snow. The prize is a choice for
each boy of either one dollar in
cash, or fifty cents and a trip
to Moose Pass in the new station
wagon.
Just to prove their faith in
their handy-work and in their
own stamina, three of the boys
slept out in the “prize-winner”
Tuesday night, and even cooked
breakfast in their new quarters.
As well as being a good time,
this outing served some of the
Scouts as the test of overnight
camping for their badges.
Rev. Boe from the Seward
Lutheran Church spoke in the
Vespers service Wednesday,
March 3. He presented the
“sermon in a nutshell” (John
3:16), and illustrated his points
with symbolic ribbon rolled up
in a real nut shell. He and Mrs.
Boe were supper guests before
the Chapel program.

CLUB
NEWS
The Mixing Bowls 4-H Club
has been pretty busy for the
last month. Mrs. Davies visited
one of our meetings while she
was here. She gave a talk and
then answered any questions we
asked.
At one meeting, when the
weather was nice, we went ice
skating by the radio station.
Then we had cocoa and cookies
for refreshments.
When the harpist, Nicanor
Zabaleta, was here, we took care
of the reception following the
concert. At our meetings this
month, we have baked ginger
bread, date bread and nut bread,
and some of the girls have done
extra baking at home.
