Washingtons theme for language arts Members of the 6A language arts class of the Milford junior high school recently wrote themes on the step-children of George Washington, Jackie and Patsy, children of Martha Curtis Washington. Some of those themes follow: JACKIE CURTIS DIARY February 18,1759 — Pa just died and ma married another man; his name is George Washington. Me and Patsy didn’t meet him yet. March 20—1 finally met him; he’s really nice and he fought in the French and Indian war. Wow, what a dad! June 21 — The first day of school — yuk! but pa made me go. Today I got in trouble for bragging about him. I got a whipping from the teacher. I explained to pa, and he understood. Whew that was close! July 4 — Summer! at last me and pa went fishing; he fell in, and I had to get him out. He caught one fish. I caught five. Poor old pa! I guess fishing isn’t his thing. November 22 — It’s finally Thanksgiving; me and pa shot a nice fat turkey and Patsy and ma fixed the rest. Boy was it good! December 10 — Ma and Patsy went to our cousins. Me and pa got the house to ourselves. We had a pillow fight; the feathers

came out, boy what a mess. December 25 — Christmas! Papa George gave me a real gun; boy what a present! I gave him a pipe. We had a real feast. — Roger Hawn PATSY CURTIS Mom and Mr. Washington got married in 1759; it was a happy wedding. I got to be the flower girl; it was fine until I tripped and fell on mother’s gown and knocked her over. Everyone ran to pick up my mom and left me sitting on the floor. I was mad. After mom and Mr. Washington were married, we had tarts, pies, homemade ice cream, wedding cake and lots of other things. I ate a piece of apple pie with some ice cream; it tasted good. When we moved out to the farm I got to ride my dad’s horse Snowy Ruff. All through the summer I would ride Snowy Ruff through the woods, over the fields and on the road. And in the winter I rode him over the ice. One warm sunny day I was riding Snowy Ruff by the river. We were walking along quite peacefully, when Snowy Ruff saw a snake. He reared up, and I fell off the horse and into the river. Snowy Ruff ran home and got my father and he picked me out of the river. When I got home dad wanted to talk to me. I thought for sure he would scold me very harshly and whip me, then send me to my room. But when I went

to him he said that Snowy Ruff was mine for good. I was so happy I ran outside and rode Snowy Ruff again. It is nice having a man like George Washington for a father, I surely am lucky. — Lori JACKIE CURTIS Good morning! Today I’m goen hunten with my pa. He’s George Washington! The famous Ingun fighter. “Jackie,” pa shouted, “are you ready to go hunting?” “Sure thing pa,” I replied. I slipped out of bed unbuttoning my nightshirt as I went. Did you know I’m rich? Yep. Sure as shooten. My pa who is dead now left me $32,000. All the girls at school want to marry me now. I slipped on my shirt and pulled up my britches and started running down the marble steps, skipping every other one. When I got to the dining room, Patsy, my sister, and Jody, our Negro cook, were serving breakfast to ma and pa. We had flap-jacks and grits this morning. After breakfast pa and I pulled on our hunten clothes, got our flint-lock rifles and went out into the cold, blustery day. Not too long after that it began to snow, and in a little while it was up to our ankles. It was then that we sighted it —a gigantic cougar [Tint. We followed it into the heart of the forest. Suddenly I slipped and started tumbling head over heals into a snowbank.
When I got out I saw in front of me crouched on a branch, the COUGAR! It sprang towards me. I heard a gun shot and felt a bullet whiz past my head. I thought it was meant for me at first, biit I saw it was for the cougar. It hit its target. The cougar gave a terrific scream as the bullet pierced his tough hide. The body fell limp at my feet. Pa ran to my side as I bent over the cougar. Pa had hit him right above the left eye. We took the cougar home. It was twice the size of me! We skinned the dead carcass. I couldn’t help feeling sorry for it. Just think — this huge animal stopped by a musket ball, some powder and an awful good shooten eye. — Scott Arnold PATSY’S DAY AT THE WEDDING In 1759 my ma married George Washington. It was a day I could never forget. Well, it started when ma got married. And after the wedding we had cider and cookies and cakes. While ma and father George were talking with friends, we had fun. The kids and I played hide and seek. I hid under the fancy table. Others were hiding everywhere. Ma and George were taking with their friends about land. We wanted to play hide and seek, but the boys were taking girls hair and sticking it in their cups of cider. The girls took cake and crumbled it in boys’ hair. Then the boys started a cooky fight against the girls. Them ma saw what was happening and she saw a cooky hit papa George. He turned around and smiled at us and said, “You young ones had better get this room cleaned up.” Everybody laughed. We had fun cleaning up the room too. When we were done, it was dark and everybody was leaving. It was a fun day for all of us. — Kelly Hoover fKsCHQOLO kSTlunch e/P A MENUS t LAKELAND COMMUNITY SCHOOLS March 5-9 MONDAY — Hamburger sandwich, potatoes with savory sauce, buttered corn, cherry cobbler and milk TUESDAY — Meatbail chop suey, rice, cole slaw, applesauce, bread and butter, cookie and milk WEDNESDAY — Ravioli, lettuce salad, French bread and butter, fruit, cake and milk THURSDAY — Fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, carrot and celery sticks, fruit salad, bread and butter and milk FRIDAY — Macaroni and cheese, ham salad sandwich, buttered peas, fruit jello and milk Story hour Friday at * Syracuse library A story hour is scheduled for 3:30 Friday afternoon at the Syracuse public library with all age groups welcome.

Art Festival Presented At Syracuse A Syracuse elementary fine arts festival on the theme, “Fifty Nifty United States”, was held last Tuesday evening, Feb. 20, in the boy’s gym in the Syracuse elementary school. Each grade, one through five, portrayed in music, art, and dramatic representation, a section of the United States. A guest brass ensemble from Syracuse junior high school opened the program with the national anthem. First graders portrayed the eastern section of our country with a marching drill, “Carolina Moon,” and “Old Virginny.” The southern section included “Yellow Rose of Texas” and some “Cotton Pickin,” by the second graders. The cowboy’s life in the west was the subject for grade three with “Night Herding Song” and “El Rancho Grande.” Grade four students were fortyniners headed west to look for gold and indicated “How the West was Won.” Civil war songs from the north and south included “Dixie,” “Goober Peas,” “Battle Cry of Freedom,” and “When Johnny Comes Marching Home,” all sung by the fifth grade Drug abuse prevention “Younger and younger children are becoming involved with dangerous drugs,” according to reports received by the National Institute of Mental Health. They suggest that developing appropriate attitudes in children about drugs and medications may help reverse this trend. First, remember that aspirin, vitamins and cold tablets are drugs, too. Your doctor should advise on these. At home, you control your child’s medication. Don’t let a young child open his medicine or get it for himself unless you are there to guide him. Do not let the babysitter give

students. Ji The elementary choir presented a song b,y Ruth Artman, “It Happaned on July the Fourth” and the theme, “Fifty Nifty United States.” The grant! finale was “You’re a Grand Old Flag” by George Cohan, by the entire fourth and fifth grades. Elementary music directors are Mrs. Richard Ditmer and Mrs. Richard Roose. Mrs. Roose also planned and directed student activities in art for the festival. The dramatic representations and staging were directed by medicine to your child unless it is absolutely necessary. In that case, write down complete instructions. It may help to examine your own attitudes and the example you set. Do you take too many medicines? Are you dependent on any drug (including alcohol)? Do you have a lot to say about how much better you feel after taking medicine? Do your children see you run for the bottle of aspirin, tranquilizers or alcohol when you get angry or upset? If so, you should consider changing your approach. Show your child that you can stand a certain amount of pain or emotional upset without turning to drugs or drink for quick relief every time. Try to set up good drug use habits so your children will learn to think of drugs as medical aids, not sources of pleasure.
Mrs. Matt O’Hare, a teacher in the fourth grade. Mrs. Jack-Darr was guest accompanist. Elementary principal, Robert D. Hamman, estimated the audience size to be about 1,500.
