A LEAP IN THE DARK About three years ago, Billy Ferguson went to visit his grandfathe r who lived on a farm. One evening as the dav had been very warm he had taken o1r' his shoes and stockings and was jumpino- around the kitchen in his bare fe~t when all of a sudden he bumped the edge of the dishpan and . knocked it off of the table.

His grandfathe r was a very_ strict old gentleman who hated n01se, so when he heard the clatter of falling dishes he started for the kitchen.

Swiftlv deciding he had better be o-one from there before his granda ther arrived on the scene, the startled boy made a dive for the door and ran out into the yard and around to the dark side of the house. On that side of the vard was a cactus bed.

Billy had forgotten abou_t this a1:d plunged right into the II1;1ddle of it.

For the rest of that evenmg you can imagine what our hero was doing.

BERNICE SCHELLENB ERG.

A FUNNY EXPERIE NCE One day while I was visiting at my neighbor's home, we became aware of the fact that her small daughter had become very quiet. We went to the bedroom door and peered in. There we saw a funny sight. The little· girl had gone into the bathroom and taken her mother's false teeth from a glass of water and now she was trying very ' • ' them into her ba b y sisters hard to get mouth. 'when her mother asked her what made her do it, she said, "Baby can not eat chicken without any teeth."

F.IB STREET.

BROTHE R 0' MINE "Let me wash my teeth ," sa1'd my brother who is about two and a half years old. I replied "No, you are too little" so Harold ran on out to play.

I w~shed my teeth and being in a hurry went off and left my tooth paste lying on the sink.

After awhile Harold came into the kitchen to get his ball. Seeing the tube lying on the sink, he spread the paste all over Donald's hair brush.

That evening my big br_other_ Donald came in and brushed his h:ur. Not noticing the paste on the brush or in his hair. he came to the supper table. '\Ve did ·have a good laugh on Donald for he did not know how he got that stickv stuff on his· head. Naughty account this on Har~ld eo-ot off easv l ., until that night when I went to was 1 mv teeth and found the tooth paste tube empty and the contents spread on my hair brush too. MURIEL STITH. A NARROW ESCAPE Last summer, when I was out on a farm for the first time, I had an adventure that I will never forget. I was walking up the hill towards the house when I heard the gallop of horses coming up from the field from their dav's work. They came upon me so quickly I didn't know what ~o do so I started running up the hill towards the house, followed by the team. My sister, seeing me, took pity on me and told me to get out of their way. I tried her advice, and to my surprise it worked. I was the victim of the laughter of e,very one on the place for a week after that.

Rip Van "'Winkle.'' .A costume party came as the climax of the semester's work.

Perils of a Rainy Day At noon one dav after an extraordinarily hard rai1{, I started to cross from one side of the front steps of "'\\Thittier to the other side on the "board ,yalk." I had no more than .'tarted when I sa,,~ some boys come racing down the steps toward me. ,Jumping back, T allowed them to go on and vaguely wondered where I would haYe been if I hadn't seen them coming.

Starting again, I was alternately pulled and pushed by others until I found myself in the middle of the walk and suddenly isolated.

Looking toward the steps I sa"· the cause of the clear space.

A fight was on !

First a cap whizzed oYer my head and landed in a mnd puddle below.

There was a ,,·ild rush for the cap. and before I could step back I felt myself swept off my feet and carried downwards. In a few moments boys and caps disappeared, and I found m:n~elf seated in the middle of a great p~ddle with my hat on one ear and everyone abovE:> laughing at me. At least T had become the center of interest for the moment.

There wa a young fellow name Hall, ·who never missed hitting the ball.

When he hit it a whack, He said, '' Fielders, stand back, Or you can't ever find it at all.''

THE STANDAR D FLAG A standard flag made of silk, 24 inches wide by 36 inches long, has been adopted by the Loyalty Committees of the Boys and Girls Civic Leaguf's. This comes equipped with a cover and bracket. The bracket when fastened above the blackboard bolds the flag out of the way and in plain sight. At night the flag is removed, slipped into the cover and put away.

Rooms 107, 212, 216, and 218 already have the new flags installed in their home rooms.

Gladys worked, and never shiT"ked, But never had a thing to say.

There was a young Barber named Oril, ·who one day got into a quarrel, He knew how to :fight So did the thing right, His opponent thus learned a good moral.

There was young girl called Ruth Pentico, Who most always said, "I want to go."

But when she went Her money she spent, So she very seldom got to go.

Bad Boy Now Bobby, be good or I'll keep you tonight, You've been naughty as can be all day.

You've pulled Susie's hair with all of your might, And you've troubled and troubled poor May. Yon 've thrown paper wads that were covered with ink, And when reciting you'd rave, Of things you don't know a thing about.

Oh, Bobby, Oh, Bobby, behave!
