11 WHAT'S UP ;' ¡ by Tony Diorio

In this week's article, I wou 1d 1 i k e t o point out s o m e t h i n g

wrong.

It concerns the displaying of the American f 1ag . When the American flag is displayed with other flags, it should be flown higher and be bigger than other f 1 ags it is flowm with.

It is ok to display state and city flags, but the Un i t "e d States flag should be higher and bigger than all the rest. This shows that we have respect for our flag, and our country. l:f you know any places that display the U.S. Flag wrong, please let us know.

Thank you!

MYSTERY! oy Nate Cahill This is the answer to iast issue's mystery.

The Professor knew that Mr. Geding was 1 y i ng beca·use he bought Mr. Hal I blueberry pie. Yet minutes later, Mr. Geding noticed Mr. Hal 1 / s 'spark 1 i ng white teeth'. If Mr. Ged i ng h~d bought Mr. Hall blueberry pie, Mr. Hall's teeth wouldn/t have been sparkling white, but stained with blueberries. The, following people got it right: l•latthew Maldre.

Now, for this issue's mystery ............... .

The professor was around town one day. nothing to do, so he break and decided to sights of Boston.

He was dr i v i n g down a sidestreet, when he heard a i ady scream. He. got out and started to calm her down. He finally strained some information out of her. He found out that her name was i·lrs. J i mber. Her husband was cooking barbecued chicken on the ari 11. She had gone out to see how he was doing. When she aot there, she found him dead, ~ i th a knife protruding from his chest. She had called her brother - in-law, Mr. Stevens.

He had just arrived.

Another thing the professor noticed was that she wasn-'t wearing a wedding ring.

Mr. - Stevens came tearing through the · yard, saw the body, and then said,"You k i i 1ed him. d i dn / t you sis! I can prove it." Then he went over to the grill, because he noticed something sparkling. driving He had took a see the

He then reached into the white coals, and pu 1 1ed out her ring.

"See, your ring fei 1 in to the gr i 1 1 when you !,.'ere • struggiing with him."

Then, the professor butted in. "You better think. up a better expl ination, or else I·· 1 1 send you in."

WHO viAS THE PROFESSOR TO, AND HOW DID HE

CHRISTMAS IS COMING!

by Nate Cah i 1 l As a 1 i of you know, a coup 1e of weeks ago , it was Thanksgiving. In a coup 1e of weeks, though, is Christmas. / Thanksgiving originated \Jhen the P 1 1gr 1ms sa i i ed over~ to America.

They met the Indians, and they had a big feast. They a I 1 shared their food. As the centuries passed, we picked up that idea. We alI share our food with friends and relatives, thanking God for everything that He / s given to us. In order to celebrate Thanksgiving, the kindergarteners and the eighth graders shared their vegetables in stone soup.

Christmas, though, is on the other extreme. We do thank God for things, but we give things to others. This all originated when Jesus was born. Great scholars heard of his birth, and they went to worship him. They alI gave him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

So, what I'd suggest for you to do is remember the real meaning of Christmas. Don/t just wait for yourself to get a 1 1 the g i f t s , but g i v e g i f t s to others. They don/t have to be g i f t s that you buy at t he store, but you can give them your company or your help.

So, please remember that as the Christmas season comes.

Wel I campers, it's time once again for TOP TEN. We didn't have enough votes to decide which song was your favorite, so 1..1e had to go to our reserves cwho this week were the 6th grade) to decide . The turnout this time was the worst in TOP TEN history! I hope that next time more votes come in, so we get swamped, so try to put in as many votes as you can!

KIDS SPEAK OUT! I have a friend in my class. She ·only likes me when I have something for her. What should I do?

It seems like your friend is pretending to be your friend so she can get stuff from you. Try to talk to her, teil her how you feel. If all goes right maybe you two can be friends for the right reasons, because you like each other.
