Rosman Elementary School News AflK UNLUCKY DAY One morning after mother had cal led me seven times I got up an ! dressed quickly. I put on one so?k and hunted all over the room for the other one but could not find it. As breakfast was ready I put on m? other shoe and went to eat. Just as I started to reach for the butter I upset a whole glass of milk which van to the end of the table into daddy's lap, causing him to say some big words. As I was taking the ccw to the pasture she got loose and ran into a mans garden. Then I had to pay him fifty cents I was saving to buy a baseball for the damage she did. I also lost my knife, all my marbles, and tore my pants. Then I sat down or. the grass to rest, but didn't sit long as I sat down on a bumble bee. That night when I started to bed I found my sock. I had them both on one foot.

EVA ISRAEL Fifth Grade. A BUSSING GOAT While we lived at Oakland I was picking some flowers one morning when I saw a billy goat. I started to run, but 1 didn't run fast .enough for the goat had four legs while I had only two. The goat hit me with his head and knocked me down. As I pumped tip and started running again I knocked down a hornet's nest. The hornets began to sting the goat. In a lew seconds the goat was gone. After that, every time the goat saw rie, he ran like the wind. J. L. NICHOLSON Fifth Grade.

HAZEL L. MOORE, 7th grade 1 I LEXANDER THE GREAT MAN j !' AND HIS HORSE ! One of the most famous of the ?eks was Alexander the Great, I . ho made himself master of a large i > >art of the world. He had a splendid . I iorse which he always rode when he . vent to battle. He won this horse I ?.vhen he was a boy, by his wisdom ( nd boldness. This is how he won it. j ! nhe horse was sent as a present to Cing Philip, father of the young I >rince Alexander. The king went to i ? wide plain to try it, and his son i nd all his great men went with him. J ' iut it was soon found that the horse ; ' was very wild. It kicked and rared : o that no man could mount upon' ' ts back. The king was angry that so : vild an animal should be sent to i im, and gave orders for it to he , ' aken back at once. The prince was vexed to hear this. ' It is a pity to j ose such a fine horse because no nan is brave enough to mount it," 1 aid he. The king thougM his son ? poke without thinking, "Your words , I >re bold." said he, " bu^ are you , j old enough to mount the horse your- ? 1 ;eif?" The young prince went up to i i ihe restless animal. He took the ' bridle and turned its head toward > he sun. He did so because he had , ?een that the horse was afraid of . ' ts own black shadow, which kepi I moving upon the ground before its j | yes. With its face to the sun, the j I orse could no longer see the shadow, j ' ?hich -now fell on the ground behind ? i t. It soon became quiet. Then the j j irince stroked it, and patted it gent- ! ] y. and by and by he sprang quickly | . ipon its back. The horse at once i ;et off at a gallop over the plain, : vith the boy bravely holding on. The ; j ing and his men were in great fear 1 j 'or they thought the prince would j j e thrown to the ground and killed. "ut they need not have been afraid, j ' loon the horse grew tired of its , I ailop and began to trot. Then Alex- ] j ;nder turned, and gently rode it j | back. The men shouted, and the kir.g . J ook his son in his arms and shed , j ears of joy. The horse was given to the ycung [ nrince. It loved its master, and would j neel down for him to mount, but ; t would let no other person get up >n its back. The books tell us that :t last, after many years, it was uivt in a fight. But it carried its mstcr to a sale place. Then it lied down and died. Alexander built a city at that i ' -ilaic, and gave the city the horse's j -.ame, Bucephalus. HILDA GALLOWAY "NGLISH CHANGE THE WORK Since I have been large enough to 1 rform even the easiest task j round the house, T have been haunt ' Hv the word, "hurry."

I was frightened for l>-> wind was tossing the airplane in M directions. Just as the piano t' ted downward toward the ocean, -d was ready to sink in the angry ?vaves, I awoke.

ROOK REPORTS Tuesday, September 27, Mr. Kim zey said all of the pupils of the sev enth grade would have to make a book report for this month. He gave us a Library to report on. If the book had more than one story 111 it you just had to report on one of them. Some of the pupils finished their book reports Friday and they were on exhibit Saturday in the seventh grade room. The seventh grade pupils are to make six book reports this year. The pupils had never made a book report before, so it was rather hard for them. At first they didn't know how to fix them, but Mr. Kimzey told us how, and it wasn't so hard then. Most all of the seventh grade is trying to learn as much as possible so it won't be so hard when the mid dle term exams come. Mr. Kimzey is proud of all of his pupils.

CELEBRA TINC WASHINGTON'S 200 TH BIRTHDAY The school I went to celebrated Washington's birthday in an odd way It was a good way though for many people were out of work and hod no garden lots. The school owned about '0 acres of land about the school which was vacant. The city brought i big tractor and a plow down to the field one morning and three days 'atcr the ground was plowed up. Then came a job of measuring out lots 50 by a hundred feet and put broom ?>oles at the corners that were paint "J red, white and blue. The garden's vere a great success for many people id no money to buy provisions with. We _got our idea for the garden be uisg 'Washington was a farmer hirn elf. J. C. PARSON.

He wants to go with i mo everywhere 7 go, now. I When I come from school Spot ; runs to meet me. lie jumps and plays about me until I have to make him stop. He is a very handsome dog. RAY WINCHESTER, Sixth Grade. OCTOBER I think that in many ways October is the loveliest month in the year. Frost comes about the first of the i month and the leaves turns red, yel low, orange and brown. The moun tains are at their prettiest. The chestnuts and chinquapins, walnuts and hickorys are dropping their nuts, and as we walk through the woods we see the squirrels running to and fro gathering feed for the winter. The red and yellow apples are hang | ing on the trees. There are so many ! beautiful things to see and enjoy >n I October that everyone should be hap ! py I LUCILE GALLOWAY, Sixth Grade. j A DREAM The other night I dreamed that I i was in the "Half Moon" crossing the ocean. The ship ran against a rock and soon began to. sink. As it went down I was swallowed by a big fi3h. When I jumped out of bed I awoke. You can imagine how glad I was that my dream was not true. ELMER GALLOWAY, Fifth Grade. JACK FROST'S VISIT Jack Frost came to visit us the other night. He made the ground white and bit the grass and flowers. Every plant that he breathed on dropped its head when the sun came up. As I was going to school he bit my nose and tried to bite my toes, but I had shoes on. Then, he said, "I won't try to bite boy's toes I will find a boy who does not have on shoes." J. L. NICHOLSON, Fifth Grade. I A NATURE WALK Last Thursday our class went for ' a nature walk. We went into the woods. We saw many pretty trees. ; We saw Maples, Oaks, Chestnuts. ; Dogwoods, Laurels, Sassafras and Poplars. Miss Ballard told us many ! things about them. Their bright col- j ors were very preitv. CURTIS CHAPMAN, Second Grade. TWO VISITORS Miss Deavers and Mr. J. E. Jones 1 visited us Tuesday. , Miss Deaver gave us three points ? of good reading. They were: Know! the Words, Read Loud enough to be J heard distinctively. j We arc working very hard to be-' corne good readers. We should, like to have others visit i us, esoecially our parents. SECOND GRADE CLASS. ! j NEWS ITEMS We have moved to a new room, and ! I like it fine. It wasn't like I thought I it would be, though. I though that we j were going to be in the fourth grade, J and that all the other fourth grade i children would be in here, too. EDWARD CHAPMAN. ? Mr. McCall's bus broke down this; morning. I waited and waited for it to come along but it did not. come. Mr. Whitmire had to come after me. All the children got in this one, and he pnlled the other bu3 in. It was just like a train. RUBY WHITMIRE Rosman, N. C. October 17, 1932 Dear Henry, How are you liking your new room? j We are learning to <*tvcc and see, oqe and <un. We miss you v?ry.' much. Come to see us. Your Friend, BOBBIE JOE GALLOWAY First Grade AN IMAGINARY TRIP When I went to South America I visited the ABC countries, v.-hich are Argentina, Brazil, and Chile, These countries have free schools railroads, and telegraph lines. The most interesting sight, of Ecu : ndor and Peru was the weaving of j the Panama hats. A ride on the moun ; tain railroad to Lima, the capital of ] Peru was a very exciting trip. I also .visited a gold mine, which was very \ interesting. The high peaks of the Andes, white with everlasting snow, were beautiful. I saw many wonderful sights as I sailed down the Amazon river and into the Atlantic ocean, but I was v.-ry glad to get back home. V. H. WINCHESTER, Fifth Grade. JACK FROST Jack Frost came to visit us early this year. He killed all of the pretty flowers. Jack Frost gave leaves some of their beautiful colors of red, yellow and brown. All the leaves- are soon g-iing on a long journey to make I a blanket for the earth during the ? cold winter days. ; MARIE WILD, j Fourth Grade. AUTUMN J Most people think that spring, is tthe prettiest time of the year, but I j don't. I think Autumn is the prettiest. I In the Autumn the trees are all col . lors, red, yellow, crange and brown, i In the apple orchards the apples fall to the ground.. The corn turns to a rich brown. RUTH RICE, 1 Fifth Grade. OUR LEAF FAIRIES Our teacher told us to bring all kinds of leaves to school. We studied FIRESTONE PEOPLE MAKE BIG RECORDS TelJji Of A. A. A. Vietorie$ And Records, All Ok Firestone Tiret. The five A. A. A. Championship Races) of 1932 and the Annual Pike's Peak Climb? the big events of the automotive racing worid ? have brought new records and a new crop of young dare-devil drivers, according to Carl McCrary Firestone dealar in this city. "The Indianapolis 500-Mile Cham pionship, May 30, brought to tfee front ranks Fred Frame, who came from Los Angeles to sfct up the amaz ing record at 104.114 miles per hour ?three miles faster than record that had stood since 192fr7^Howdy' Wilcox, an Indianapolis boy, was sec ond. "The 100-Mile Championship Race at Detroit, June 5, was won by Bob Carey, another daring driver who came from the Pacific Coast, and won iourth place at Indianapolis even after a delay caused by a crash into ^''cox again was second. The 100-Mile Championship at Ro>y, Ind., June 20, was won by H. W. Stubblefield, who also has forged ? into the limelight as one of the most icrmidable racing drivers. The 10Q-Mi!p Championship at Syracuse, July 2, witnessed another victory for the intrepid Bob Carey, and 'Stubby' Stubblefield roared into the second prize money. I r> ^0-Mile Championship at Detroit, September 10, the fifth of the series included in the 1932 A. A. A. computations for championship ra.ing of racing drivers, was won by ham Kose, adding another new name p.rr". ng the major victors. The mcst spectacular and coveted victory outside of these did not gj to a newcomer, but the veteran Glen bchultz sot up a new record for the hazardous, jagged 12 1-2 mile grind in the Annual Pike's Peak Race. The amazing time was 16 minutes, 47.2 seconds compared with the old mark of 17 minutes, 10.3 seconds. All of thess daring drivers chose Firestone tires, which have won for ? thirteen consecutive years at Indian apolis and s?x'at Pike's Per".
