Along the road one night I walked

And watched the star Jewels high

They seemed to look right down at.

me From their dark blue velvet sky.

"I wonder, stars," I asked of them,

If you would tell me, please,

About the boys and girls you know As you look down each evening so

Around the Seven Seas. But never a word said they to me, Just smiled as if to tease. I passed a grove of maple trees, With beech and elm trees, too. I heard an owl within them say, "Too-wit, too-wit, too-woo." "Oh, please, Sir Owl, will you tell me (And now, be frank, please do.) "If there be any folks so wise That they see more than your great eyes? Who is so wise as you?" And then, with deference most polite, He answered, "Too-wit, too-woo." Special to the Junior Palladium.

The seventh grade girls were to guess the upper class girls, and a ijze

one could guess.

Contests with lollypops and corn and other games were planned for

tne aitair as well as a real ghost walk. The lucky charm that admitted every girl to this party was a copper penny. Miss Kauffman was in charge of the affair. She was assisted by Miss Shera, Miss Buckley and Miss Mawhood.

HALLOWEEN

Oh, boy, what do you know? It's Halloween, come let's go To see those silly looking clowns And the horible sights in the old home town. Get a mask bright and new, Any kind of clothes will do. Don't forget your window dope, Plenty of chalk and lots of soap. Don't forget to blow your horn Every time you throw some corn. Carry a lantern in your hand, ! Get a cabbage if you can. Just before you join the gang. Give a door a bang, bang, bang. Ring the doorbell and run, Oh, boy, Isn't that fun? The Brownies, boys, are the first we see, " ' And Uncle Sam, so tall and lean. Satan comes with a horny head, Dressed In a suit of fiery red. Hurry for Mutt and Jeff, And Happy Hooligan, full of pep. Then cmoes the old woman reaching so high, Sweeping the cobwebs from the sky.

The frightened ghost all clothed In

white, The prowling cats as black as night.

And Charlie Chaplin with a silly

grin, His feet turned out and knees turned in. And two old maids with long hoop

skirts, Once a year they laugh and flirt. Santa Claus and the sailor, too, The Dutchman and the boys in blue. Let's all go home, it'll soon be morn; Say good bye, and blow your horn. This is the Jolliest night I have ever seen, So farewell, farewell, our dear Halloween. Bptty Estelle, Garfield Junior High School.

A Halloween Walk

Dear Aunt Polly: I read the J. P. every time we get it. Am writing an imaginary story which if you think worth while would like to see in your paper. Halloween Story One Halloween night John, Guy and myself went out to have some fun. We imagined there were Jack-o-lanterns and witches and ghosts everywhere. Our hair was standing up all over our heads. A witch went by on a horse. She was looking at us. She started toward us. We were very much frightened and started to run, but as we got up to the little log cabin we saw that the witches and ghosts had surrounded us. We started to climb a tree but in doing this Guy fell. He did not know what to do. Slowly they started toward us, then all at once they disappeared bo we went home but could not sleep. Chauncey Addleman, 8 years old. Whitewater school, grade 3. Dear Chauncey: I like your story very much. Glad you enjoy the J. P. Try writing another story soon. Aunt Polly.

RED CROSS JUNIORS SEND 950 BOXES TO CHILDREN OVERSEAS

Christmas preparations began early this year for many juniors of Richmond. Last Tuesday morning 950 Christmas boxes were sent to the children of Montenegro, Vienna and Budapest and other cities and countries where the juniors have probably almost forgotten that gifts are & part of the Christmas celebration. These boxes were planned and packed by boys and girls of Richmond, under the leadership of Miss Payne In the grade schools and Mrs. G raves! n Garfield and the teachers in each of the assembly rooms. Useful gifts were sent as soap, tooth paste, stockings, mittens and wash cloths, the last named being made in many rooms by the children, were sent and a gay selection of "play" gifts. Among the play gifts were scrap books, necklaces of beads, dolls with dresses made by the girls and toys, many of which were made by the children. Old toys were brought too, those that were outgrown or set aside, and among these were sets of dominoes and blocks, balls and dolls. Toys were made by all the children in Miss Shallenberg's room at Baxter. There was candy, too peanut brittle, wrapped In oiled paper. This was made by the girls of the Vaile and Sevastopol cooking classes. Fifty-five pounds of sugar went into this candy which was made under the direction of Miss Murphy. Packing boxes were made by Garfield boys in which the little individual boxes were sent. Each box will be given to some one child and so Christmas presents for 950 children have set out on their Journey.
