Letter To The Editor
The Editor:
I finally decided to come
out and tell you. I am not
using my pen name (Juan
Juando) any more. My real
name Is John Hall, and I'm
a student at Texana School.
Here Is some more of my
work. I hope you accept It.
THE FUTURE
I wonder what lies In the
future for me.
But what Is in the future la
not for me to see.
If 1 only knew what was In
store.
The things I do now 1 would
do no more.
Will 1 lead the life of a hobo?
Without a home;
No place to go,
No where to roam.
I still wonder what lies In
the future for me;
Maybe I'll go to college and
get a degree.
What, oh, what la to be my
fate?
Oh well, I guess I will just
have to sit and wald
John Hall.

Tinsel on the Christmas

when spiders covered with
webs a tree that had been
decorated by a mother for
her many children.
To reward the woman
for her goodness to her

changed the spider webs
to gleaming silver.
