I hurriedly arose, dressed you,” I exclaimed as I entered my and went down to breakfast, dormitory when I returned from After breakfast Uncle Frank the post office. Doris was sitting went to his work, Diana prepared at her window pondering over a dinner and Aunt Kate and I went problem in geometry. She raised into the living room, her eyes from her book and turn-i Au„„f . ed to me ^ About 10 o clock she accom- ped at the gate. Aunt Kate ran “It is from sister 1 suppose, she said, taking the letter from my hand. to the door to greet the guest. I remained in my chair until Aunt Kate and the guest entered the “But no, it is not from her ;i room. Who do you suppose the was cancelled at Liver-j lady was? Why, Doris’ mother, pool.” She hurriedly opened the i of csurse, and you can imagine letter, glanced over it and read | how I felt, aloud: Liverpool, England November 3, My dearest Doris, 1896. “Where is Doris?” the lady ask ed entering the room. “There she is,” answered Aunt Kate, pointing to me the boys came back and my broth er, sister and I started home. We had walked about two miles when we suddenly discovered that we were lost. I was not afraid, but I had a peculiar feeling about the heart. After a long time—hours it seemed to me-—^we saw an open ing through the woods. We walk ed towards it and found a field. We followed the edge of the field until we came to the road. We then discovered that we were on our own land and not far from home. MILDRED WHITE, Eighth Grade, Murfrees boro High School. The other day I learned thatj “You don’t mean 'to say that you were m school at Hi Point., this is Doris,” the lady responded bince you are so near my home, «why not?” asked Aunt Kate you must visit us. For fear that “Why this is not Doris,” an- ^ >n-!swered the lady. “This is Edna ^ ^ ’ Johnson, a friend of Doris.” Aunt Kate looked very aston ished., Presently she asked, “What does this mean?” At this point I thought best to tell my whole story. When I had completed the tale they both laughed and took it as a joke. That afternoon I returned to i Point, and when Doris returned from the meeting, I told her how my visit ended. EMMA BLANCHARD, Eleventh Grade, Hobb- sville High School. viting you to spend the next week end with me. Be sure to come. Lovingly, AUNT KATE. (Mrs. Frank L. Williams.) “Next week-end,” she said slow ly, folding the letter and putting it back into the envelope. “Spend next week-end with Aunt Kate? I have never seen her. I have often heard Mamma speak of her, and she has visited her, but she has never taken me with her. How can I spend next week-end with her? Furthermore, I must attend the students’ meeting during the week-end. I was absent from the last meeting, and I feel that I must attend this one if possible, as it is very beneficial in training students for the proposed work. But it will never do for me to stay away and not visit her.” She sat there several minutes arguing about her trip. After supper she made a con clusion that she must attend the meeting and suggested that I pre tend to be her Aunt Kate’s niece and go in her stead. I consented, and we made our plans for the trip. On Friday afternoon I busied myself preparing for the visit. About 5 o’clock I went to the depot to meet the train, which left at 5:20. I bought my ticket and at the proper time I was aboard for Liverpool, wondering how my visit was going to end. In about a half an hour we were entering the town to which I was destined. The streets, which were lighted with street lights, were very crowded. The train stopped and I was met at the station by “Uncle Frank.” After many greetings we drove home. Mrs. Williams met me at the door with much delight. She grasped my hand and eagerly kissed me. Then we went into the living room where there was a bright fire blazing in the fire place. She took my baggage and wraps upstairs to my room. While she was gone I glanced around the room. On the walls were several photographs, each one hung in its right place. The room was neatly furnished. In a few minutes she returned into the living room. “And your people are all well?” she began. “Yes’m, or at least they were the first of the week. I haven’t heard from them since Thursday,” I answered rather awkwardly. She then called Diana and ordered her to bring some cocoa and cookies. The refreshments were brought immediately and after they were served, we spent the evening talking about the peo ple at home. About lOo’cl ock she accom panied me to my room and I went to bed wondering what the mor row would bring. AN OPPOSSUM HUNT HIGH SCHOOL TACT And it’s all due to tact.

C. “Bill, do you want to go opos sum hunting with us tonight?” asked Glen, my big brother. “Boy, yes!” I answered. “All right, get the stuff ready,” he answered. I got the lantern, ax, bag and dog, and we started for the woods. The night was dark and we were unable to see three feet in front of us. We had not been in the woods over 10 minutes before the dog began to trail something. It was not long before he began “to tree.” We rushed over to Snooks, who stood barking under a big oak. Glen took his jacket off and started to cut the tree down. I had to hold the dog until the tree fell to keep him from getting killed. When the tree began to fall, Snooks jumped out of my arms in spite of all I could do. By the time the tree hit the ground an oppossum jumped out and started running through the woods. Snooks had him before he got very far. Brother took him and put him into the bag. During the hunt, we met with three boys of the neighborhood. They wanted to go hunting too, so my little sister and I went up to their house to see their sisters. We talked, played and read until about 11 o’clock. After a long time of waiting When you enter High School, By nature you’re green; You study each lesson And write every theme. But when you’re a Senior, You’re wiser; in fact. You’re always marked perfect, Because you use tact. Speak so politely. Always smile brightly; Naught from your fame Can ever detract; Never seem lazy; They’ll think you’re a daisy And give you an A, And it’s all due to tact. In Chemistry always Pretend that you know Much more than you do; You can make a grand show. When the teacher is looking. Work hard for a while And when he asks questions Just bluff him and smile. Speak so politely. Always smile brightly, If you are stupid Try bluffing, in fact, The scheme is so easy; Just talk bright and breezy And you’ll get an A, And it’s all due to tact. In French and in Latin Mount a horse and away, You’ll get the first question If your name starts with A; In Physics and Math It is easier far. Just laugh at their jokes And they’ll think you a star. Speak so politely. Always smile brightly. Keep up the bluff In your glance, word and act. And when you’re in college The sure path to knowledge Is won in a gallop.
