Notes by Leona Churchill
Tuesday morning the high school
«... was called upon to give at least a five
minute talk on the life of John Green
leaf Whittier. We have been study
ing his beautiful poem “Snow-Bound.”
We thought that by becoming ac
quainted with hi3 life it would help
us to know the circumstances which
inspired him to write this idyl of
New England family life.
* * *
A surprise was in store for us
Thursday when we went into Miss
Keever’s office for English. What
was there upon the 3helf but a beauti
ful set of “Historical Talcs,” by
Charles Morris, fourteen volumes
■nicely bound arid in perfect condition.
The school hardly knows how to
thank Mrs. C. H. Lamprey for this
generous donation. In them are chief
events from the history of all the
leading‘nations, and in reference work
they will be invaluable to us.
¥ ¥ ¥
An interesting rapid calculation test
was held in the sixth and seventh
grades on Thursday. Bryan Lamprey
w,on honors in multiplication, and
Headlee Lamprey carried off the laur
els in addition. The pupils did ex
cellently, considering that this was
the first test of that kind this term.

There has been but one tardy dur
ing the week in this room.
¥ ¥ ¥
For opening exercises, Miss John
son has been reading Booth Tarking
ton’s “Penrod and Sam,” the sequel to
■“Penrod.” Both books are great fav
orites with the pupils.
¥ ¥ ¥
One hundred and twenty-six books
have been added to the circulating
library. Barth O’Loughlen tendered
his resignation as librarian and was
succeeded by Matthew O’Loughlen.
A great deal of time was spent in re
numbering and cataloging the books,
in which Alice Daggett and Elaine
Bollinger assisted our present ef
i ficient librarian. All of the pupils are
i proud of this exchange library.
¥ ¥ ¥
Ruth Donahue was enrolled in the
sixth grade this week.—E. O’L. -
A very good record has been made
by Miss Joslin’s pupils, there being
no tardies and but a single absence

some continent. With closed books
they write in the names of plants or
animals.

fourth grade are studying “The Land
ing of the Pilgrims.”

Miss Joslin has been drilling her
fourth and fifth grade pupils on com
position for the past week. All of
them did exceedingly well, although
their teacher discovered some en
tirely new ways of spelling words,
The following are some examples of
their work:
One night about 5 o’clock William
and I went out seeking brownies.
There was a full moon, for, you see,
that brownies never come out except
when the moon is full.
After a long walk we came to a
cave. I was frightened, for I thought
that some savage animal lived there.
There was an old owl who lived in a
tree near by. He made a noise like
this, “Ooo-ooo-o,” and seven brownies
Came out and one said: "Do not be
afraid, little girl, nothing can harm,
come in!”
We went into the cave. There was
one big room. There were beds ol
rose-leaves. They gave us some
mushrooms and let us lie down on the
leaves. When we awoke they told us
to sort out the gold and silver. We
sorted it without taking a single piece,
Then the brownies nodded their heads
to one another and smiled at us. They
gave us beautiful presents. After
breakfast they showed us the way
home.—Irva Call.
* * *
One day when the sun was shining
very brightly my brother and I went
out to pick some flowers. As we
walked on I remembered that mother
told me that the brownies lived in the
forest, so we walked on to see If we
could find the brownies’ home. As
we walked along we came to a dark
cave. I looked up and there was a big
black owl. I was frightened and tried
to run home, but Harry would not- let
me. Just then I looked down and I
saw three brownies. One of them
said, “Do not be afraid, little girl, we
will not hurt you. Come right In to
our cave.” Then we went in. The
oldest brownie said, “Go and sort
those jewels, please.” We did and
they gave us some nuts to eat, and a
rose-bed to sleep in, for we were very
tired. When we awoke one of them
gave us each a sack of gold, which,
they told us, not to open until we got
home, so we ran home, full of joy.

ALASKAN DOG MUSHER
WAS AVIATOR HERO
-1—
The following clipping from an Out
side paper concerns an Alaskan,
Kenneth Marr, who, the article states,
was a former dog musher.
"American aviators, returned from
Europe, have entered into a conspir
acy of silence regarding their ad
ventures in Europe. Ken/ieth Marr,
formerly an Alaskan dog team driver,
now a major, in charge of a field at
San Diego, who was fighting Frit* in
France, long before the United States
entered the war, and who was credited
with bringing down many boclie
planes, for which he received the
Croix de Guerre and other decora
tions, passed through Washington a
few days ago, but his closest friends
could not induce him to say anything
about his experience. William Thaw,
another distinguished member of the
Lafayette escardille, preserved a like
attitude.
“The cause of all this modesty has
now developed. A couple of under
strappers, with a gift for literature,
returned to the United States several
months ago, and recounted through
the columns of the leading magazines
the thrilling adventures of the real
heroes of the war as events in which
they themselves had played the lead
ing parts. In other words the real
heroes were beaten to the publishers.”
