A "Sammy" Goes

"Over the Top it Out on the battle fields of France lay an American soldier and his French comrade in a dugout spying on the enemy. Many times they saw the enemy airplanes rise behind the lines and come straight for them. Back farther in their dugout they went for safety, but soon they became restless and came out again. The Frenchman had not been in the war long and was nervous at the slightest alarm, but the American stood up and daringly took the risk. Out of the dugout and across the rough ground he crawled until he was pearly to the enemy's lines. The dark was coming on and it was hard for him to find his way. He soon became tired and crawled Into a bunch of brush and there waited for it to grow darker. In the meantime the Frenchman in the dugout had be'en thinking i why he could not do this and start-1 pl nut to follow the American. He ' crawled and crawled to where he; thought his friend had found safety, but no friend did he find. He had just sunk down in the brush awaiting the return of the American, when suddenly he saw. some one crawling alone on the ground. Was it an enemy or his friend? Should he wait cautiously or jump out and capture the one coming toward him? he asked himself. Suddenly the figure arose and leaped into the brush where he was. Down came the Frenchman on him, but he was soon rolled off. What in the deuce are you doing any how?" cried out a familiar voice and he knew it was his friend's. "What am I doing?" cried the Frenchman. "Why, hunting you of course." "Well, if you're going with me make it quick," he said and started on toward the enemy's lines. Every once in a while he would turn around and wait for the Frenchman to catch up. When getting ready to enter the enemy's trenches the American made the Frenchman understand that he was to stand guard at the entrance of the dugout while he went to get the papers that told of the enemy's coming attack. Everything went well and in a short time the American was back. "Now run for your life," cried he, "for they heard me getting into the box for the papers and are coming after us." Out of the trenches went both of them and soon they found isafety in their own trenches at daybreak. Philip Kessler, 7A, Beautiful Pictures In the Art Rooms They fill two rooms of the Art Exhibit, and they have all been painted by some very well-known artists who live in Richmond, and of whom Richmond is very proud. These artists' names are: Mr. John Ellwood Bundy and Mrs. Maude Kaufman Eggemeyer. What kind of pictures are they? All kinds. There are little woody scenes that makes you think that you can go walking right into them and bo in the woods, and there are long stretches of ields all covered with snow with a few yellow lights from little home peeping out In the distance, and there are great clusters of brilliant flowers growing in gardens by old white brick houses, and there are painting of people, some of you know who the people are, too. Some Juniors have been painted on those canvasses and sit there smiling at you from their place on the wall. Evelyn Carr, a Junior of Vaile school js there. Can you find her? Go up to the Art Rooms, sometime, Juniors, and see them and then sometime when you see a beautiful sunset or a clump of autumn colored trees or a bright garden out of doors somewhere, just see If those pictures don't look Just like what you see out doors, at least very much like the living pictures of Nature. A RIDDLE. Why was Moses the most wicked man that ever lived? Ana. Because he broke all the commandments at once. Madeline Branson.

Boy Scouts Celebrate St Patrick's Day Last Monday evening the Boy Scouts entertained their girl friends with a St Patrick's party at the home of William Marshall on South Thirteenth street. Refreshments were served during the evening, in which the Irish green was the chief color and helped celebrate the day. The hous-i was decorated with crepe paper and flags suitable for St. Patrick's day. The evening was spent in dancing and In games. About thirtyfive people were present and a fine time was reported.

How Do You Do, Birds! They're coming, lots and lots of them! More every day. They know it's Spring and they just simply can't wait any longer to come and choose their home in our treetops. The robins sing and sing and are already beginning to build their nest. And they know how to make real comfortable nests, too. The red birds are flying around real friendly like and letting you admire their beautiful coats as long as you want too, of course, providing you do not get too close. The bluebirds too, like to show you what pretty suits they wear, and we can easily see their brilliant plummage as they fly from tree to tree, we can see them so much easier than when the trees have all put on their new green spring suits. Our plump and merry little friend, the meadowlark is coming out of his winter hiding place. Look up in the tops of the trees for a fat little bird, and not such very little bird either. He sings and sings and sings as if he wanted to tell everybody how wonderful it is to live. But he doesn't always stay way up in the tops of the trees. No, indeed! He comes down in your back yard or in your corn field, and lets you see his yellow breast all covered with black spots, and his soft brown coat. He lets you watch him for quite a little while, not long enough to paint his picture though, and then he suddenly starts up and we see that he has forked white tail feathers, which is different from many other birds, and we hear him sing as he flies far away from us to another tree, "I'm going way over here. I'm going way over here." Latin Class Sells Candy Boxes and bags! Lots of them! They filled about two shelves in Miss Smelser's cupboard. No, Miss Smelser's pupils didn't eat it They brought it After dinner they stacked it all up and had it set out on a table in a hall in High School last Wednesday afternoon. But it wasn't there very long. And the reason it wasn't, is that it was all sold to hungry High School pupils (and we hear that some of the teachers bought some too), who were very glad to get some good homade candy, right then. The Latin class wants to earn the money tor a particular reason. They do not like to see that moving picture machine sitting around not doing anything, and so they are planning to bring a film that tells about that splendid old General Caesar to Richmond and give it there in the auditorium. Last week members of the Latin class collected scrap paper for it. And from the paper that they sold and the candy, they have made $27.55 which is just waiting to be paid out to the movie man, who lets them use his film. Chorus Appears On Friday morning, March 21. the High School Chorus makes Its first appearance In an Interesting and a varied program. Choral singing is always enjoyed and though this chorus la young yet, we hear Its members have been doing some very good work.

ANSWER TO LAST WEEK'S RIDDLES. A star.

WAR SHOWS A NEW WAY

A MINE SWEEPER HOOKS GIANT SHARK

New mine sweeping device with shark it hooked.

The "Paravane" gear, a new mine-sweeping device which was kept secret during the war, has shown that it has a peace time use. It may be used for a shark catcher. Sweeping for mines while a British warship was en route to New York from Newport News this "Paravane" gear hooked a giant shark of the hammerhead variety.

When I Visited In Kentucky Last Summer I went to visit my Uncle and Aunt in Carrollton, Kentucky. My uncle let me ride the horses while he ploughed. The horse's name Is Old Tom. I would hold on to the hames to keep from falling off. I didn't know what to call them so I called them spikes. They all laughed at me calling them spikes. I had my picture taken while riding Old Tom. . From there I went to Glencoe, Kentucky, to visit my great grandmother, uncles, aunts and cousins. The country is very hilly. Coming down a hill the harness broke and we had to walk down a long hill. While there I helped water the sheep and ran errands for my great grandmother. I had a nice time for a week at Glencoe. Then I went to Cincinnati, where I met my mother. Then came to Richmond. Ruth Helen Bromley. 5B, Hibberd School.

3. Spreads and Hikes For H. S. Girls On Wednesday afternoon the last basket-ball game of the season will be played by the High School Basket-ball girls. As the two teams are about equally good players, a close game is expected. The girls will have a spread after the game. At present the Reds are just a few points ahead of the Whites. Sizzle! Sizzle! That's the good sound the High School Gym girls will hear next Friday evening. After school they're" going to tramp out around the hospital grounds. After a good tramp they are going to build a fire and roast weiners and marshmallows. Miss Wickemeyer will go with the girls. Another one of the popular G. A. A. skates is being planned for some time in the near future, too. Perhaps there will be a girls' tennis team at High School. Miss Wickemeyer has published in the Register an announcement that If enough girls are interested in forming such a team, and report to her soon about it, there will probably be a real for sure tennis team. And then, there will be something doing! PRESS AGENTS ASKED TO LEAVE NAMES. Will the Press Agents always write out their names, and the schools from which they come on a separate piece of paper and leave it at the Junior Office when they bring their mall? We want to know who brings in all the mail. William Winner of Warner, Wilbur Pond of Finley, and Dezell Gibbs of Joseph Moore, reported at the office as Press Agents this week. THE SHEEP. Baa, baa, black sheep, Have you any wool? Yes sir, yes sir, Three bags full. One for my master, One for my dame, One for the little boy . That lives In the lane. Selected by Walter Hoffman. Aged six. TO A BIRD. Busybody, busybody, Always on the wing; Walt a bit, wait a bit. And tell me why you sing. Pauline Malson.

Boy Scouts Will Be In Tournament . A new kind of tournament will be held in Newcastle on the 28th and the 29th of March. It Is called the 105 pound tournament, and the total weight of the teams that take part in the tournament must be a total that will mean an average of 105 pounds weight for each man of the team. The Richmond Boy Scout team will be the only local team represented there, although thirty-two teams are entered in the tournament Kenneth Dollins of High School is coaching the team, and Lewis Wilson is manager. Those who will go as members of the team are: Forwards, Dale Harkins, Kieth King, Robert Craig; center, Millard Ball; guards, Thornton Brehm,' Harry Eikenberry and Lewis Wilson. The team is reported to be going through some hard practice, and expect to make the other teams "stop, look and listen." The games will be played in the Colliseum at Newcastle. The tournament is under the management of the New Castle Young Men's Association. A silver cup will probably be awarded to the. winning team, and perhaps watch fobs, to the Individual members of the winning team.

Finley Boys Invite Birds Little wooden houses with pointed roofs and painted a deep sky blue is what the boys down at Finley are building. And then, they are going to set them up In a tree somewhere, a safe and solid somewhere, and wait to see who cornea to live in them. They won't put a sign on them that says, "To let," or anything like that. The birds do not wait for that. All they need to see is that pretty little house without anyone living in it and then they fly In and begin to make themselves at home. Probably a Mr. and Mrs. House Wren will come to live in this house. And such a dear little busy couple as they make. You who have wren houses, watch them and see if they aren't interesting little friends. But that isn't all the boys of Finley. are -making, or rather, have made. For down in a little cupboard in the Kindergarten room, are the most things, all so well made and so eager to be played with, and the boys in the sixth grade of Finley under the splendid leadership of Mr. Tschaen made them all. These were all made last semester. There are beautiful tall soldiers that walk all around and salute you when they meet you or see the flag; and there's a Red Cross Ambulance, all painted red and white, and a chariot, and a wheelbarrow and several sleds. And then the animals! Oh. how they tease you to stop and play witn them! Great big red hens are there, and funny old owls, and little fishes and a tiger that is all covered with wonderful black spots, and that looks fierce enough to be a real one, and then there's the whole elephant family, from the great big Jumbo to the tiniest little Jumbo. These toys are all well made and we think that these boys ought to make some more and sell them next Christmas time. The Thrift Stamp's Story I am a little thrift stamp. I was lying in a store and a little boy came in and bought me. , Will you buy one like me? You can put it in your thrift stamp book. Our monoy that we spend for candy will help win the war ana bring the boys home. Richard Wade. 2A, Baxter School. . . A RIDDLE. "Little Nancy Netticoat, In a red petticoat, And a red nose.
