October 1940 pa;:e Ten STRUGGLING YOUNG AUTHORS GOME WITH m TO A FOOTBALL GUilE Sarah Morgan Earner Football is AnerlcaJf? most exciting game. Having looked I’or- ward to this game for weokc, we were at last almost there. ,.In the midst of the crowd we hurry cn toward the stadium. After reach ing our seats, we lo.:k about xis at the colors of the teams in the crowd and hear the fl’iendly argu - meni: as to who will win, Sudden ly there»s a hush| the bands come marching from the end of the field, playing the college songs. The crowd joins in singing th3m. Soon the teams enter c.nd take their position. The whistle is blown and the game has begun. Watching each move v'ith spell bound interest, there is scarcc;- ly a sound from the crowd, Loo^^i a player has the b?ill and is running down the field. He's there just in time and the crowd roars. Again there is silence; probably the next play will de cide the game, IVe watch a be:n.itl- ful pass down the center of the field and see the man safely over the line. For a split sec ond there is silence, and then a great cheer rises from the crowd. INTERESTING HOBBIES Carl Walker Jr. Hobbies are educational as well as enjoyable. Radio, a most interesting hobby, is a field that needs men and women today. To collect flowers and grasses is also fascinating. Collecting old money, stamps arrow headg, anticques, and old books in in teresting too. Franklin D„ Roosevelt, the president of our nation^ collects stamps. Model airplane building is a hobby that will be sueful to boys who wish to become airplane mechanics and designers. The United Statss Ar?n3:" and Navy need these men for the National Defense Program. A HAITI:TED HOUSE Maude Lewis A haunted house is a very gruesome and frightfu.1 place, indeed,when darknes:^ covers the eartVi with its velvet coat of bl.acrncss, and quietness has sdi- tled over all the land. Upon the hill beyond the woods wh>.TO leafy shadows are nov/ growing in to never ending darlmess, across a stream v/ho»3 water is nov/inl^r black, there is no taind oxcopt the gushing of the stream and the croaking of the frogs as vie ap proach the haunted hoiise. With fearful steps v;e make our way vp the hill acrosa the unkept lawn clo3e to the bordering hedge which is toy/oring far above our heads„ We stand and stare in utter fearfulnSss at the houB where ao luany strange and grue some things had happened. Up the numerous steps, then upon the wide veranda we cross and stand before a heavy carved door. Vifith almost numb fingers we turn the rusty knob, Ghe door opens noisi ly on its screeching hinges. Wg step into a wide hall, where those who died in the old house are said to come as white- clad ghosts to guffrd the treasure, which is hidden s anev/here in the haunted house. We aove steathily for there are many trap doors’,.: secret passages, and hidden stair- casjs. Ai! 'ro brush against a wall it slides open and we find ourselves in a large room. We open one of the numerous doors, and find we are in a long, nar row hallway at the end of which is another door. Opening it, we see before us a long circu lar stair-way, Aftur a hard clmb we find ourselves faced by a bl;.uik wall. O’.-'.r candles flicker and go out. ’7o :..p0 loft in dark ness. Stvj;:bling we find a door, open it and. find thrt It 'b'oens into the lawn, •'.'e run down the hill, glad to get away.
