Virginia Over beck Tells Juniors of - Molding Prehistoric A nimals in Clay

HONORABLE MENTION

, We wish to thank the boys and girls whose names are given below, for sending in contributions, but which we are sorry to say, we were unable to publish, beci use they were too nearly like stories which have already been published in the Junior Palladium, or because they seemed more like stories and poems which we have read in books and liked, than like real "made up'' stories. We ask each of these boys and girls to try again real soon: Their names are: Grace Hamilton, grade 4B, Starr school; Crystal King; Ethel Cox, 7A, Garfield;

Thelma Taggart, 6A, Starr; . Dorothy King, 2A, Finley; Mary Mitchell, 7, Jefferson township school; Ralph Gildenhar, 3A, St. John's; Betty Morgan, 7B, Garfield; Sara A. O'Maley, Garfield; Thelma Feltman, Morton High school; .Dolores Dill, 5 A, Finley; Ina Mae Lahman; Robert Shelley, 5B, Starr; Larraino Stegman, St. John's; Roland Fulle, 6, St. John's.

New Madison, O. Dear Aunt Polly: . Every summer I visit my aunts, who live in Cambridge City, Ind. My aunts make pottery. I like to too, when I am with them. Among other things, I like to make prehistoric animals. No one knows exactly how they looked, so I am safe in giving prehistoric names to my birds and animals. A couple of years ago-1 made the "Prehistoric Big Horn," the "Plumed Turtle," the "Ing-Tailed Bird," and the "Hippolasorious." The last named is a kind of horse glazed in black. He ha i a rose Colored mane, wings and s;ldle Maaliosaurious Is a queer looking Urrd which has a long tail. "Hjppophant" of last year's crop, isTuler of the menagerie, just now. Magalosorious, Hippolasorious and the Long-Tailed Bird, have slight injuries received during battle. I made these of some soft clay,

which had been thrown. It is very easy to "squeeze" and "pinch" a lump of clay into any desired shape. After this has been done, they are dried and then put in the biscuit kiln to bake. Next, the piece is sprayed with chemicals to give color. Another firing is necessary .to fix the color. Accidents sometimes happen in the kiln; then some pieces will be cracked or broken. Yours sincerely, Virginia Overbeck, age 10, grade 6. I Ed. Note: Virginia is a niece of the Overbeck sisters of Cambridge City, whose pottery and designs are known and admired in many parts of the United States. Seeing their work, she became interested, too, when she was 8 years old. The Junior editor saw some of the little play animals in the Overbeck home recently, and asked Virginia to write a little about net

work (or, was it play?) for Junior readers.

ST. JOHN'S NEW RULES When the pupils of St. John's school moved to the basement in the church, the school board had Mr. Zimmerman tell the children the new rules they had made. Some of the rules are as follows: Keep off the street. Keep off the lawn. Do not go around where the workmen are building the new school. The first week- we were there, many of the rules were broken because the children coidd not remember them. Dorothea Bode, grade C, St John's school.

TWO GIRLS 'EASTER Once upon a time there were two girls, whose names were Maire and Mildred. , Maire was eight years old, and she was good. Mildred was ten years old and she was very naughty. When Easter came Maire and Mildred went td bed. Maire went to sleep.'but Mildred stayed awake. So the Bunny saw Mildred awake. WTien Maire and Mildren came downstairs in the morning, Mildred saw nothing in her nest, but Maire saw four boxes of straw and colored eggs. Mildred was sorry she was bad. That night Mildred was good. She went to sleep, so the Bunny brought her two boxes of chocolate and colored eggs. Mildred was always good after that. By Lorraino Stegman, St. John's school.

The Dog's Story I was walking by the sea. A lit-

! tie girl was playing there. It was I Mary, my little mistress. A great wave rushed up around her and I carried her away. I jumped in quickly after her. The waves were so strong that I could hardly swim. 'I swam a long way and finally

caught my little mistress' dress in my teeth. It was harder to swim back, but I got to land again. I was too tired to go for help and so I barked for some one to come. I

saw some one fishing. It was Mary's father. He took her home. He let me go in the house with her. I saw the doctor come later. The doctor said, "She will be all right soon." I licked my little mistress' hand. Then I ran out of doors and barked as hard as I could. My mistress' mother hugged me and petted me. My master gave me a big disli of meat. We were all very happy.
