The boy was rushed to the hospital and that was the last I saw of him. I saw a woman climb a wall on a motorcycle, and saw monkeys do many stunts. Then I paid ten cents and got to ride a large elephant with some more children. I saw movie stars act on ropes and saw them dive into water from a high ladder which was about the height of a three story building. I rode on a merry-go-round, and saw a man and woman whose height was two or three feet. There were many interesting things I saw there which I had never seen before. I sure did enjoy myself, very much. Margaret Glazener, 7th grade. The Old Bridge There was an old bridge at the lower end of town. It has been torn down. This makes it inconvenient for townpeople going to church and for the people below Rosman, when they come to town. Now thoy have to travel the muddy road to the new. upper bridge. Helen Summey, 6th grade. December The trees are bare. On the moun tain sides, hove and there, a dark pine may In- seen. The holly trees are bright with berries and the mistletoe glistens in I he sunlight. Inside the tires burn brightly and games arc played. December is the month in which all hearts are merry. Alfred Gillespie, 6th grade. Our Room Our room brings thoughts oT Christmas to us. On a little side board we have a scene of the Wise Men following the star to Bethlehem. On another board there arc pictures drawn of children ? decorating trees, with Santa peeping around the cor ner. In one window there are stars. In the others there are pot flowers, some of which are blooming. The bulletin board has pictures of famous paintings on it. A Christmas tree completes the joyful thoughts. Margaret White, 5th grade. Why I Like. December There are several reasons win- I like December. Usually our first snow comes in this month, and we al ways have fun throwing snowballs, and making snowmen. We get two weeks vac?' ton ? Christmas, and of course we like that. W,e draw names and each gives the one whose name . tlv.y ; present. We have a pretty tre 1 in our room where we put th ? pres :)'??. Our teacher gives us a nict- treat ;-.i ? last day before the vacaMon. This i the beginning of Christmas fv i: ? Of course we have to help our i.:o'h ers make Chri: tni > ; e-.;Ve atvl - dies, and taste of all of it v> . . . that it is just right. At Christmas our relatives alv.;:: come to see us, and bring us p; - ents. But best of all we have the fun of hanging up our stock ? for dear old Snntr to *"11. TV. ^ ?? slva.\ decoy;-': ? with holly \vi . : 1 V ar bells. '1 hen, too, we have a I ?' : tree, such fun ?' we have guessing what is in the packages. Who wouldn't love December, th happiest month of the ycr.r? Lucille Galloway, 5th grade. Christ ,,'as Morning On Christinas morning as soon f ? our last dream is eniVd we jump oi; of b-'d, never thinking of the e- '. room. We hurriedly half-dress ar " run to the Cliristmas tree and stock ings. We cannot wait for mother niv father to get up to show them ou> presents. All through the day we cat or anges, nilts, and candy, and play with our toys. We must always remember to be kind on that day, for if Jesus had nor been born, we would not have such a happy day to celebrate. Marie Wa'.drop, 5th grade. The Snow Rird ?^.Saturday I heard a chipping snow bird. It was saying, ''Chippy, chip py, chippy." The bird was in my cherry tree. I watched to see what he would do, but he only said, "Chippy, chippy, chippy." I wished to see more of him, so 1 opened my window, but this frightened the pretty bird and he flew away. ? Earl Powell, 4th grade. What We Found Ono day Daddy, Mother and I went into the woods hunting for a hen's nest and our little dog followed us. While we were hunting for the nest, the dog began brrking at something in the ground. We went to him and helped him dig into the den. We caught an old o'possum and five baby o'possums. We caught the little ones first and put them in the top of a bush and the dog caught the old one. Then we cut the little bush and car ried it home like an umbrella. Eva Israel, 4th grade. Letter To Santa Clans Dear Santa Claus: I am ten years of age, and in the fifth grade. I am very anxious for Christmas to come.

Instead of decorating with it the people dec orate with real flowers, for i( is warm in Italy at Christmas time The children do not hang up stock ings.
