May Bc Reason for Day Dreams Though schools are now in the second week of the current térmu, vacation memotries stili linger in the minds of Wilmnette pupils. This week JUNi4OR Lmn received. the follow-- ing, vacation stories: This summer I went to Ohio with rnygdad. Ohio has àaayhI;oec the most interestinig is that on which the. street cars go, up and down., You get on the street car at the station and the. car goes for about. a mile and a quýarter before. you corne to the raiway incline. The street car.goes, on a platformn and islocked on so it cannot roll off. A car is ait the top. of -the, hill and one at the bottorn. When thei one at the top, cornes. down, the one at the- bottom goes up. They work on cables. The-enginieer said tihe incline 'was one thousand feet high. Trhat 18 higher>than the observation platform on the s1y ride at A Century of Pors.Mrh Brown, Stolp, seventh grade.. <On my vacation I went to. the home of my.aunt in Arkansas. We did lots of things, including hnting and fishing. My father went hunting and got some fine fox squirrels. One day I found some Indian arrowheads. My uncle told me how the Indians miade thern. They built a ire, got the stones very hot and 'let drops of water faîl on thern. It chipped little pieces off the atone and left the edge very sharp. You'can notice certain places where the Indians mnade their arrowheads. I found a stomne that looked like a tomahawk. I think the Indian was ,naking a tomahawk ont of it.-Milan May, Howard 8A. Trhree -weeks .ago Fred Leeman and' Iwent to the world's fair.> The tling we did that I: liked the most was the sky ride. We got on. at the main-' land and went across in the lower compartment of the car, "Andy." After we had gotten off on the island we decided to go back. That time, I neyer nadaacehinite hobby until I ~began to save stanips. It started this way. One of my uncles had recently died and some of 'his old books. and tools were Sent to us.' Among them was a book of stamps. The book it- self .was not very good but there were some stamps that were slightly valuable., - then decided 1 might like, tsave stamps. I. then got a, new book and started to collect other stamp s. I have been collecting for* quite a while now, so MY father just got-me a new boolç. I amn savi ng only United States. sta mps because it takées too rnucb. time. to save, both Enropean and United States* stamps--George Redding, Howard 7B.

Yes, Once Vpon a Time Once upon a time a woman gave me a littie white kitten. It was pure white. The little kitten had a brown eye and'a blue eye., [t was really a freak and it looked so cute I surely wouldn't give it up for anyth-ing. One.day I was playing with him ad he was .getting, very very angr .y so I kept on teasing hlm, and I teased 1dm a, little too muich and he ran,- downl the steps and- out of the back door. 1I was running behind hum and as soon* as I got outside, he had disap- peared and I guess 1 was a bit too slow.. Ever since that turne I haven't seen' him.-Louise Graham, , How-ý ard 7B Study About Redskins During Indian. Summer We ýare studying..about the- Ameri- can Indians. It has béen sbiown thai the Indians who 'lived in the no'w oipulent Catifornia were the poor .est, Ithink the study of the Plains In- flans is the most interesting. The [ndians of the plains followed the, buffalo which was their main source of, food. There are also Indian wrords in our language such as skunk, pone, a type of johnnycake, and hurricane. The Indians lived a very imple life.-Muriel Janicki. Ho -m rd 8B. si s Pupils Greeted by Old Teachers on First Day The Wilmette public schools started September Il. Many of u tbought that we would have new teacliers, especially for the sixtb, seventh and eightb grades, for they change roonis. But to our big sur- Prise we did not have anv new teach- ets, and that was a. relief. We had a !it1tle home work, the first night and a* ittle more the second and so on, but I wilI say that we don't mmid it; that is, if we have turne to do it.-Ade- laide Koenen, Howard 7B.
