made me happy.

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

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. I want you to
bring me a football, a blackboard, a
fountain pen, a pair of overalls and
a shirt. Please do not forget that I
am very fond of oranges, bananas,
raisins, nuts, and candy.
Your friend,

Our Santa ? Claim Jumping Jack
' The third grade has a Santa Claus
and he will jump. He spreads his legs
and arms. He has a long white
beard, a red suit and cap trimmed
with white fur. He has on black boots.
He is a jolly fellow.
Kathleen Wilson, 3rd grade.
I Christinas at My Home
On Christmas Eve night when I
am fast asleep in bed, Santa will
creep upon the house top. Down the
chimney he will come to find my
stocking hanging on a nail by the
fireplace. When he sees it, he will
fill it with toys and candy. Back up
the chimney he will then go to visit
other little children.
Howard Lance, 3rd grade.
Our Christmas Decorations
We have a very pretty room. We
have a Jumping Jack Santa Claus
and a pretty Christmas tree. The tree
has pretty decorations on it. I think
the whole class enjoys it. We also
have a Bethlehem scene which repre
sents the Birth of Christ.
Envilee Chapman, 3rd grade.
How Christ mas Is Kept hi Italy
There is no holly in Italy. 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. They find presents all wrapped
up and in a big jar. I like the way
we keep Christmas better, don't you?
Mary Rogers, 2nd grade.
How Christmas Is Kept
In Germany
We have been reading stories of
how Christmas is kept in other lands,
i Gel-many is a land of pine trees.
I Sometimes the trees are so small
that they can stand on a table.
They decorate these trees with
many pretty things such as red ap
ples, oranges and nuts, covered with
gold and silver paper.
There are candies too, decorated in
pretty colors, also many kinds ot
cakes that we do not hav;- h r
Sometimes they have a country .-cent
made under the tree, or a No:;h'.
Ark. The children stand around 1!;
tree and sing together a Christmas
song.
I. V. King, 2nd grade.
Christmas In the Second Grade
Our room is very pretty with
Christmas decorations. A large red
and green bell hangs from the center
of the room. Red and green paper
chains are attached to this bell and
run to the four corners of the room.
We have a sand table. It has a
.Christmas scene on it, with a house
a green forea?, two small lakes and
a Santa Claus. All the children en
joy this.
Our Christmas tree stands in one
! coi ner of the room. It is real pretty
with many decorations. A silver star
i is on top of the tree.
The blackboard borders are pretty
One of them has Santa Chus an
Christmas trees. The other one is
Bethlehem scene with the shepherds,
sheep, the wise men, and Bethlehem.
On our bulletin board we have
