The school started a drive for
the Red Cross last week. Each
class has two Red Cross represen
tatives which will collect money
from their room to aid Red Cross
organizations around the world. To
join the Junior Red Cross the pu
pils are asked to give one cent or
more. Miss Lindsey, who is at the
head of the Junior Red Cross in
the Elementary school, said, “In

Seeing Things.
Our class went for a walk. V\ e
went down to Flat Creek. We saw
many tiny fish. We saw a little
waterfall. Bruce caught a grass
hopper in the grass.
First Grade.
The children in Mrs. Whitaker’s
room are learning to work, play,
and live together at school. They
are learning to follow directions
and not to be selfish, by sharing
things with each other. At recess
they share their fruit with some
one that does not have any that
day, so that everyone has some
thing to eat. When they have ice
cream once a week, everyone has
some because they share.
Stephen Earley brought every
one a pencil with an eraser that
his dad had given him. He and
Dick Whittington shared candy
with the children one day. Barbara
Bartlett, Stephen Early and Marty
Dickerson brought Kleenex to
share with their room. They find
there is happiness when they do
all these things.
Second Grade.
In Mrs. Alene White’s class the
children have a tadpole in their
classroom. They have been read
ing stories about tadjoles. They
have their tadpole in an aquarium,
and they are going to see if he
turns into a frog.
Second Grade.

Mrs. Mann’s second grade a sur
prise party after they had finished

Seventh Grade.
Mrs. Sorrell’s pupils have had
an interesting art lesson. They are
learning to arrange flowers at
tractively. They copy most of
their flower arrangements from
the Japanese who were very ar
tistic in arranging flowers. Here
are a few rules they have about
arranging flowers: U-e few flow
ers rather than two many for
pleasant results; cut flowers with
as long stems as possible. Have
some buds, open flowers, and
leaves in the arrangement. Choos
most suitable containers for flow
ers as to size, color, and type. Col
ors should blend and there should
be some contrasts rather than all
of one color. Light, airy colors
look best at the top and sides while
darker flowers look best at the
bottom. Don’t scatter your col
ors, but mass them. There are.two
styles of arrangements: one, the
old fashioned bouquet called mass
arrangement, the other, line ar
rangement. According to the Jap
anese, you should have three
s hich rt present man
earth, and heaven. Flowers should
be one and one half times a lal!

Mrs. Cunningham’- class -..
ly wrote stories for English. Hen
are two of them:
“ The Little Rah\ N\ ho
Wasn’t There.”
It was back in January duiim
the early day- of World War 1
when this event took place. Sorm
boys had joined the army, am
some had joined the navy. Other
had joined the marines, hut 1 wa
riding around in a baby carriage.
Black Mountain had just had
four-inch snow, the biggest of th
season. The snow plows had cleat
ed Montreat road, but nobody ha
) cleared our driveway which w
deep in snow. Mother had pushed
me down the drive, without too
much trouble, to the clear road;
and 1 had a nice long ride down
to the post office and back.
When w< got back to the driv>
way trouble occurred. Our drive
was uphill, so mother found it dif
ficult to push the carriage through
the snow. She turned around and
pulled me up. When mother got
to the top of the hill she looked in
to see bow the baby felt about all
this, l.o and behold, the carriage
was bare; the baby wasn’t there
1 had “bailed out” through a small
hole in the back of the tilted car
riage and was lying in the snow
with a “what’s-going-on” look on
my face. 1 have loved to play in
the snow ever since.
—Alan Taylor.
‘"rhe Beast”
What was it? Something in the
air had everyone gripped with fear,
everywhere you went. On every
