A SNOW-BALL FHiHT ON TOP OK
TUt HILL
(Louise Joyner)
'Twas the 251b of December. A
heavy snow had fallen and the earth
was covered to a depth of from twelve
to fitleeu inches It was cold and clou
dy What an Ideal day for some tun.
A crowd of Jolly young folks gath
ered together, tobogganed^ and hood
ed, ready for a snow ball fight.
"All right, 11m, old man, Ifead on "
they urged. And off they started.
"Where are we going Inquired Alice
Greaves, a girl friend of Mary Green,
was spending the holidays with Mary.
"Oh. we're going to hare the most
fun you ever heard of," replied JoneB
Dean, who walked beside her. "We
are now headed for Wilder's Hill, the
scene of the annual battle of the Mo
hawks, In other words, the snow fight
girls against boys of New Haven."
"How exciting," exclaimed Alice.
"This is the flrst time I have ever
seen this much snow. At home, it just
covers the earth occasionally. We
never have a real big snow storm, as
you all did last night. And we are
going to snow ball. I've always won
dered how it was done. Doesn't the
snow nearly freeze your hands."
Jones replied that she would soon
find out as they were nearlng Wilders.
In fact they then were in sight of
that high mound of snow, which re
sembled a small mountain.
"Heaven! I'll never get to the top of
that hill." gasped Alice.
No sooner had she spoken than she
was grabbed by both hands and with
a running start, practically pulled to
the top of the hill. Laughing and
breathless she looked back down the
the dizzy height.
The boys began work now earnestly
and within an hour, a huge fort about
fifteen feet square had been complet
ed. In the meantime the girls had busl
ed themselves making snow balls.
Poor Alice tried bravely to keep pace
with the crowd but her Southern blood
rebelled'and she often stuck her near.
Iv frozen hands deep Into her pockets.
"All right, we're ready. All aboard!"
shouted the boys and the girls crowd
ed Into the fort.
"Now listen," said Tim, who seemed
to be managing the affair, "we're all
old at this game, except Alice and
Chick, so we know what to do. At a
given signal, we charge up the hill,
in an attempt to take the fort. If you
girls can hold us off for twenty min
utes, then the victory Is yours. If not.
of course we win."
The boys ran down the long steep
hill, and the girls arranged themselves
along the four foot walls, five at each
wall. The boys could attack from all
sides, by agreement. At a signal the
attack was begun. The girls saved their
snow balls until the boys were near
ly up the hill, then they opened Ore.
They had the advantage of the boys as
their snow balls were already made,
and the boys had to make theirs on
the run. For what seemed to the girls
twenty minutes, they held the attack
ers at a standstill. Their ammunition
was now getting low and poor Alice
was hard at work awkwardly making
more. Suddenly, with an echoing war
whoop, the boys made a dash for the
fort. The girls throwed as hard and
fast as they could, but in two minutes
their enemies were running over the
sides of the fort.
"Boys have won! Ray, rah boys!"
they yelled.
The girls now helpless yelled for
quarter since the boys could make
and throw balls twice as fast as they
could.
The Four Dragons
A. H. Fleming, Jr.
"Roaming the world Is a tiresome
thing.
It wears you out and no luck does It
bring.
These two lines seem to daze John
Jacob, a boy of about nineteen as he
gazed into the book he was reading.
Jacobs father bad been killed about
a year ago by a man named Charles
McKay ever since John had been fol
lowing him. even through the jungles
of Africa.
When In Switzerland among the
Alps he lost his man and as the days
passed John seemed to grieve more
and' more over his father.
Trembling with rage and madness
he threw the book down and ran into
the street. A group of people were
standing aronnd a dead man.
John walked closer he could hear
them talking one of them the one who
had evidently killed the man, was
talking "and there's no man that kill
my folks and get away with It. I fol
lowed him up and got him too." With
that he kicked the murdered man,
spit on him and dragged hlin away.
This was too much for John, he ran
to his room and in a rage tore up all
of the bed clothes and broke the furni
ture to splinters. He fell against a
chair and knocked himself unconcioua.
When he came to he heard a npise
In the street he looked out of the win
dow and saw a man of high rank In
military power from another country.
From the "tiate of Hell" as waa
called a care In a nearby mountain
came the fire breathing dragon "crime"
The picture of "crime" was painted
on him. In every breath came forth
"crime." Ugly and hideous waa he
the monster that called all "crime".
Jacob saw him he breathed the mon
sters breath, he was hypnotized by
the dragon and unknowingly he shot
and killed the man.
His guards seized a nearby hunter
Vho had a gun and was suspected Of
the mnrder.
The hunters friends begged the
guards to release him saying that they
would prove his Innocence but the men
refused.
They were also seized by "crime"
and killed the guards to release the
bnater.
The news of *11 this spread to the
murdered mens natire land and the
king waa so baffled and surprised by
tfcla fhkt at first he did not know
what to do.
Then from the "Gate of Hell" came
another dragou' "war.' Even more ter
Irlble thau the first was this time.
He breathed Into the king who Im
mediately commanded war.
The terrible Hound of the bugle whs
heard all over the Qlty. Men rushed
to ihe palace and before daybreak an
arm was prepared and ready to start.
fresenXlx the bugle sounded again,
this time the men marched away over
to Switzerland.
Four days lhe*y marched thru woods
over rivers and lakes. The piercing
yell of - thd wolt was echoed among
ihe vines as he was driven from his
home.
The monster dragon "war" also sell
ed the Swiss people and they too pre
pared for war.
In the first battle the Swiss were
beaten t errlbly and driven back for
fifty miles. In the second battle the
same thing occured only worse.
So unprepared for war were the
Swiss that in every battle they were
beaten until they were driven back
Douton, the village where Jacobs
killed the man.
The firing and noise of the enemy's
guns could be plainly heard in the
village.
A Swiss mother knelt down before
her st&tue of Christ and prayed that
something might happen to prevent
her two babes fnom being killed.
Then as if in answer to her prayer
a third dragon "Famine" crawled slow
ly out of the "gate of hell.'
This one was the most terrible of
the three, from his nostrils came forth
fire and smoke that killed all vegeta
tion around the village. With no food
the troops could not fight.
What little fool was in the village
was given the Swiss soldiers and as
the enemy had nothing they were driv
en back over a hundred miles.
So terrible and fierce was the drag
on "famine" that he killed all the
food in the country. The soldiers were
so starved that they wanted to return
home. .
But from the "gate of hell" came
a fourth dragon "peace."
Peace met the dragon crime and In
a hard fought battle killed him.
A man was riding peace and the
two swords he held no longer shined
and sparkled in the sunlight but it
was stained with the blood from crime
Xext came war who was even hard
er than the first to overcome but after
a while he too fell dead on the ground.
The nxan riding peace no longer
held two swords but the hilt of one
In his right hand and half of one in
the other.
Who was this man riding peace, no
one knew except the mother who had
prayed for peace and she cried with
Joy whe she looked at the two dead
dragons crime and war. Her joy turned
to sorrow when she saw on the hill
top another monster famine. This time
it was not a dragot i\ akolcto:: of
a dragon robed in b!;tvk. tiie t'iri Its
breathed was hot enoughs to melt iro?..
but peace and Its rider fearlessly met
him. For hours they fought and at
the end victorious was peace.
I She slowly came through the vil.
lage and the rider climbed down from
her back.
It was none other than John Jacob.
As the people recognizing him they
gave a yell of delight.
Peace breathed life into all of the
things famine, crime and war had
killed. So beautiful was peace that the
two armies agreed to sign a peace
treaty. They then marched back to
their native land. The people once
more resumed their work and play.
Jacob now a grown man returned
to America and married the girl he
lore*. Six years later he was heard
to read to his child
"Roaming the world is a tiresome
thing
It wears you out and no luck doe3 it
bring."
A Snow Fight on a Hill
Ethel Bartholomew
One morning when I awoke. I was
startled by the sounds under my win
dow. I ran to the window and whom
should I see but all of the boys in the
sophomore, uniors and senior classes
standing out there yelling, "Come on
old boy. we are going to get the fresh
men now. Just well to come out or

we're going to pull you out."
My heart Jumped right Into my
throat. 1 whs do excited that 1 put
nearly all of my clothes on wrong.
1 was scared that If I did not go out
that they would call me u cissy and
when tliey did get me they would
nearly kill me.
Whfn I opened the door to the .hall,
I found all of the boys In the fresh
men class waiting tor me.
When we reached the door all of
the boys on the outside, were yelling
for us to come on out.
Mr. Jenkins a very polssy math tea
cher and a very small man ran out and
said In a very screechy tone. "Boys,
boys, you muBt not do that, you must
not do that.
As soon as Mr. Jenkins said this all
of the boys oened the deors am] start
ed to snow balling Mr. Jenkins and
the freshmen.
Mr. Jenkins realizing that the presi
dent would not like for the boys to
snow ball in the halls of the college,
so he dodged them and ran out on the
side of the qotlege on a large hill. All
of the boys openeA-the doors and start
was where the battle began. Thous
ands of snowballs whized around my
head. There was more noise and hard
er licks by those snow balls than any
chalk has ever hit the board In my
freshman year of high school.
The boys had taken up bo much snow
to fight with that you could neary see
the ground. Something popped Into
my mind, I decided that the next ball
that hit me. I was going to (all down
like 1 was dead. Finally one ball hit
me and I (ell. All o( the boys waited
to see l( I was going to get up but I
never did. Then the boys began to
gather around me they thought I was
dead, but there was nothing the matter
with me, but hal( scared to death that
a snowball would hit me. A(ter they
had taken me to my room I never did
want to see any more snow.
