Rendezvous With A Ghost
Juniors,Seniors Study
Moby Dick,Clas sics
Carol heard the down
stair *s clock strike
twelve Tl/aVE O'CLOCK
MIDNIGHT ! No sleep had car
essed her eyelids tonight.
Yes, sir, she was as wide
awake now as she had b^en
three hours ago when she
and a group of friends
met and told ghost stories,
"Oh-o-h-u-m" sighed Carol,
"The wind makes the old
pine moan and groan as if
it is an owl that I hear.
(Pause), Or maybe—No I I
won't think of that! I
know as well as I'm in
this nice warm bed that
there are no ghosts, li/hy,
the gang would laugh at me
if they knew my thoughts,"
With that she turned over
and tried to sleep.
But her efforts x/ere to
no avail. The fury of the
wind beating the submis
sive trees frightened her
and made cold chills rim
up and down her spine. The
0x^1 hooting at her window
seemed as a harbinger
warning her of some dread
ful misfortune which v;as
to befall her.
"1 know what is the mat
ter with me", Carol ex
claimed, jumping upright
in bed. "xt is that I'm
co]d. That's the reason
I can't sleep. I'll put
the vdndov/ dovm.
After slipping into her
warm housecoat, Carol ad
vanced toward the window.
But before reaching her
destination, she was con
fronted with a strange fig
ure in a long ;/hite robe,
speckled with blood. The
intensified whiteness of
its face pierced the dark
ness of the room, and the
silver horns on its head
shone with a ghostly light.
Unable to speak, Carol
moved slowly toward this
object; and, to her aston
ishment it advanced to
ward her I Finally finding
her voice, she let out a
blood-curdling yell
"M-O-T-H-E-R I"
In a few minutes the room
was illumined, and her
mother was by her side.
In place of the ghost,
Carol saw her own reflec
tion in the mirror before
her. The ghostlj/- white
face of the supposed
ghost was the beauty mask
she had put on earlier;
the long! blood-sprinkled
robe, her o\m red polka
dotted housecoat; the
horns, her curlers, .
The moral of this little
story I'D, I'ljr • friends.
Plans for the six-week
study period of literature
have been made by the
teachers of the sophomore,
junior,and senior classes.
"The sophomore literature
class is making a study of
poetry, rhythm, rhyiiie
scheme, types of poetry,
and figures of speech",
says Miss V7ilma Johnson,
teacher, "Besides having
to do memory work and scan
poetry, each student has
been assigned a special
poem or life story of a
poet to road and study
from an outline on the
'At>preciation of Poetry'."
MCBY DICK
Mrs,Howard Farmer,teacher,
states that the junior
class is studying "Moby
Dick". Each student is to
map the course of the "Pe-
quod" in its search for
Moby Dick, and important
events, of the trip will be
illustrated. Special empha
sis will be given to why
lipby Dick is considered
one of the best novels of
modern literature.
By each student's reading
and discussing three clas
sics on class, the senior
class will me.ke a stvidy of
classics. As a result of
this class vrork, the class
will become familiar with
20 to 25 outstanding clas
sics, Plot,charactcrs- and
why the books are classics
will be featiircd in the
discussions.
never toll ghost stories,
before goin^; to bed,
