I have a beautiful doll collection. I have dolls from all over and they all wear foreign costumes. The ones I like best are the Irish one and the l{ungarian one. They are both \/ery beauti-ful. The lrish girl wears a see-through blouse and a long skirt that has clovers on it. ?he Hungarian girl is dressed quite differently. She r\7ears a short dress tha.t is,fed with different colored trimmings. There are also ltalian, Spanish, Eskimo, Portuguese, and South Atnerican dolls in my collection. I got these dolls from my grandmother., grandfather, and my parents. Dina i'lorello, Gr. 4 0

Fields they savr the sirield Of golden tight. They atl thought back to the Dreary fight and the thundering Sounds of rifles being clicked, And the sounds of pain, And seeing the lame Crying for help, Watching the other regiment Retreating, and seeing thems elves Winning, fighting, and being Proud, like a cloud they floated Everywhere.

I took a trip with my mother and father to New York City. First we went to the Empire State Building. We went to the top and looked out of the windowThen my father drove to the boat that took us to the Statue of Li.berty. We went in and climbed the stairs inside the statue. We looked out of the windows and we could see our boat coming back. After that my father drove us to a big building that was a museum. It had stuffed animals and bones of dinosaurs and some old small trucks that were small enough to sit on. Then we came home. Kevin Sterner, Gr. I

BOB AND THE PLANE

Bob was going to California, so he went on a plane that was called a TWA 747. At the airport Bob had to go on the plane in ten minutes. When the plane takes off, it goes rzery fast and in the plane they give you breakfast and lunch and supper, and on every 747 they show a movie. Then it was time for Bob to go to bed. In the morning when Bob woke up, he had breakfast. At L2:OO noon the plane landed, but before it landed it had to give a signal to the control tower. The control tower tells the planes when to take off and tells them when to land. tdhen the plane lands, there has to be nothing on the runway, Then, there was Bob in California. Emir Mussad, Gr. 1

My familY once went to Bngland and we had a lot of fun! We watched the changing of the guards. We went shoPPing in a lot of stores. From England we went to Scotland. In Scotla"nd we stayed in a castle. My sister had the highest bed. I had a low bed and my brother had the same height. My mother and father had a middle-size bed. We had a great time in both England and Scotland.

THE ARABIAN

HORSE

AII horses are great. But the greatest breed is the Arabian. Other horses may run fast, not eounting the thoroughbred, but the Arabian beats them all. Other horses look bony, act mean, and are quite dupish. Their heads are thin and their bodies match. They are sloppy and sickly in comparison to the Arabian. The Arabian is the smallest horse and most intellieent looking breed. The tofi of the head of an Arabian is wide. That means there is more room for brains. They stand from withers to the ground about fifteen hands w6ich is about iive feet or more. They are muscle-bound and are quite the right sLze for riding. They are the finest of any breed ever found. They have the easiest and longest gait. The Arabian is kindhearted, well behaved, has a good temper, and of course comes from Arabia. Janet Vlohltmann. Gr. 7

THE G}IERP:

The Gnerp is the most wonderfullest Zea.ler in the whole groLesque world of Gnerdel. T'he Nerd is all right if you

like them with a schnerdical. But the Gerpel is a dorvnright nasty gayool. And the Kingqualla is a. lovely wondgalla with a terrible quackel. But the Gnerp is a beautiful ingalocker. That is why 1 think the Gnerp is the most wonderfullest ZeaLer in the whole grotesque world of Gnerdel. Roy i:orrison, Gr. 7

weird little man named l{ertalodulium. Donrt try to pronounce it, just call him Hertal for short. The first time I met him was in the fall. f was walking down a street and all oi a sudden I thought 1 savr a pile of leaves move. I knew it was ridiculous ' so I kept wallcing. I haPPened to glance back and sar^r it move a$ain. This time I was sure I 6ad seen it. So I walked back, Iifted the leaves, and saw a tittte rireen man with four evenly distri br.:ted ears. BY evenly distributed I mean, one ear on each side of his square he a.d. At first I just stood there Af ter a.ll, when You tift a Pile of leaves and find a tittle green man under them, You sort oe run out of interesting conversa.tionl l The tittle man d.idnrt seem surprisedl He just asked me if I would be so kind as to replace the leaves. So I droPPed the leaves and started to wal[< away. Ivery day for the next three months I visited him. Then one day a big storm came and sca.ttered the leaves in one hundred different directions. Now he lives: in my room under my bed. He is very nice to live with because he does mY homework for me. The only trouble t have with him is food. In the summer it?s easy, but 1 can't find any wilted rose thorns in the winter. David Klass, Gr. 6
