Glad School Is Out
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
1 am glad school is out.
When l first started in the sixth
grade 1 did not mind it. l went a
while, then L heard we had to go ten
months. When 1 heard that L got
discouraged.
About the ninth month l thought we
We're going to get out but we did not.
We had to go one more month. Now
we have only eight more school days.
Another reason L am glad school is
out is because l cannot understand
the grammar and geography very well.
Whenever we whisper we have to
stand on the floor half hour. If we
whisper twice we have to stand on
the floor one hour.
We had to go to school five months
without any vacation.
1 would like to go to work If school
ever gets out, because | am getting
tired of it.
/ have been to school for six years
without being tardy or absent. 1 have
always passed my examinations, but
/ doinot know whether l will this year
or not. EARL YANT.

Dear Aunt Laurie:
w HEN the last day of school ar
w rives the children either speak
or sing. The mothers also at
tend school to hear the children's
pieces. Then the cards are passed
out. Some look at their cards and
frown. That of course, means there
is no sign of promotion.
Then the teacher says 81 hope you
all have a good vacation, but don't
forget what you have been taught"
"Good-by, teacher" comes a chorus
from all over the room, hope you
have a good vacation, too"
Then we march out, left, left, left
right, left. The triangle is then put
away for three months. The flag is
then taken down and put into a box
of moth balls.
Then the children with loud hurrahs
and some booming fire crackers go out
the gates and are on their way home.
Then trunks are packed and the chill
dren with their parents are on their
way to beaches, mountains or some
summer resorts. Your loving niece,
