Vacation This is the day, the glorious day, We hail with acclamation, For now we'll run and romp and play, .. Through all the long vacation. Ah! won't we have a Jolly time, When free from recitation! We know there's nothing quite so prime As summer time vacation. And won't the folks at home feel blue, When comes this immigration, This romping, rattling, noisy crew, To stay the long vacation! The teachers, too, will need a rest, When free from botheration; Our conduct hasn't been the best, Which makes them want vacation. We will be free from anxious care, From worry and vexation; No tasks we'll have, no frowns we'll wear, But smile through all vacation. Our school days soon will have an end; And then in life's vocation, With busy care our time we'll , spend, And seldom have vacation. Selected. Hunting Flowers The other afternoon three of us girls went flower hunting. We found violets, spring beauties, and many other pretty flowers. The woods was along the railroad. So there were a great many trains for us to watch. We discovered there was some one in the woods, and found it was two of our playmates. We had a lot of fun. We played hide-and-seek. We did not go home until about 5 o'clock. We took the flowers home and put them in water. They were pretty a long time. Helen Newman. 4 th Grade, Chester, Ind. My Letters! I wish I knew my letters well, So I might learn to read and spell; I'd find them on my pretty card, If they were not so very hard. Now S is crooked, don't you see? And G is making a mouth at me: And 0 is something like a ball, It hasn't any end at all. And all the rest are my! so queer! They look like crooked sticks, Oh dear! Ma counted six and twenty more; What do they have so many for? Chosen by Marguerite Walton from her Sunday school paper, Whitewater school. Why Bobby Got Up Up Jumped Bobby out of bed, Before "Jack Robinson" you could have said; And why in bed he would not stay. Why? Twas because it was Easter Day. Into his clothes he went like that, Scampering down the stair like a cat; You may wonder why he didn't stop to play. Why? Twas because it was Easter Day. Out in the yard ho gathered the eggs. You may wonder why he hadn't a pain In his leg, And why he didn't in bed lay. Why? 'Twas because it was Easter Day. Rachel Jones. Dalton Township. SOLO. Scout: "What instruments make foot notes? Scoutmaster: "Why, the shoe horns.

The flag is passing by. Blue and crimson and white it shines Over the steel tipped, ordered lines, Hats off! . The colors before us fly! But more than the flag is passing by. Sea fights and land fights, grim and great Fought to make and save the state, Cheers of victory on dying lips; Sign of a nation great and strong. To ward her people from foreign wrong: Pride and glory and honor all. Live in the colors to stand or fall Hats off! Along the streets there comes A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums, And loyal hearts are beating high. Hats off! The flag is passing by. Selected by Lester Hilea. Warner School.

"Y" Victors Dine ; Friday evening.

Other boys can coma by paying a quarter. ' Each boy who has gotten one or more hew members will bring those new members with him. A "Y" stick pin will be awarded to each boy who secures one new member, watch fob to each boy who secures three new members, and a belt with a silver "Y" buckle to each boy who secures five new memberships to the Y. M. C. A. A belt with a gold buckle will be awarded to each boy who has a record for perfect attendance at their gym and Bible classes for the last three months. ; Those who will receive stick pins are: Russell Taylor, Tim Sprouse (of coarse he's a boy!), Harold Roberts, Raymond Luby, Maurice Hosier, Floyd Parks, Robert Grace, Lewis Went, Harold LaPrell, Kenneth Yager, George. Darnell, Fred Hunt, Harry Norton, Keith Sharpe, Robert Sharp, Clifford Reid and William Fort.

Splendid Site Is Chosen For Y Camp Down on the Big Miami river near Miamisburg is a place where a bridge used to be. The flood of 1913 swept the bridge away, and it has not been rebuilt, but that just makes it all the better, say the people who want to camp in the beautiful Miami Valley Chatauqua grounds. It gems so much more Robinson Crusoe-like to have to ferry across to the camping grounds, me grounas ana au me accomodations are ideal. It is wilder than the Glen in its natural beauty, which every boy agrees is something a good camping place must have. There are twelve steel boats, a swimming and diving n.e, ftnd what la every bit as imThe camp wm be from june 12 2i, and will be enjoyed by the boys nf ftri the various Bav Scout trooDS members of the Boys' department of the Y. M. C. A. with their Scout masters and Mr. Branson and Mr. Harding of the local "Y." About fifty boys are expected to be in the camp. It is very" sincerely hoped that autos will be donated by "big brothers," friends of the boys who are Interested in them and their camp, for hauling the boys down to camp and back, which will result in a saving of three dollars for each boy. A very interesting and varied program is being planned for the camp. Swimming, campflre entertainments, hikes, scout craft, and many forms of athletics, as well as Bible study, campflre programs and morning devotions will form a part of each day. They are planning to have a real camp bugler, too. But boys in camp never dislike the bugler, for what boy on a ten-day camp in the woods over was heard to sing, "I hate to get up in tho morning?" Boys Learn To Swim When the Y. M. C. A. offered to give swimming lessons to all boys over eleven years of age, free of charge, for a week, it found it had made a very much desired offer to Juniors of that age, for 280 boys took advantage of the lesBons. Out of this number 100 learned how to swim, and are now all ready for camping or hiking or whatever they will do this summer. There were 75 boys from Junior High who took these lessons.
