SPEAKS TO STRANGER
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
One spring morning in May new
boy came to our school He looked to
be about 10 or IL years old.
He had just conla to San Diego and
did not know any Of the pupils.
l saw that he was kind of bashfui,
so I went and talked to him.
He said it seemed funny to have az
the boys and girls stare at him. 1t
was the first time he had ever moved
to a different city. / asked him what
grade he was in. and he said he was in
the fifth A grade.
Good" / said. You will be in the
same room as I am. There is only one
seat empty, and that is right across
from me-
The teacher let him have that seat,
and now we are the best of friends
He said he always remembered the
day when he started to school when i
came and made friends with him. Your

SO inquisitive after all.
About two months before field day
the principal asked me whether |
could run or not. I told her l didn't
know. She took me out and tried me
with some other boys. / beat them
all but one, and he could beat me
about two feet. When it came time
for me to run I came in third. The
men at the end told me if had not

have come in first. The next two field
days / won, and in the last one beat

WICKED BOY is PUNISHED

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Once a boy came to our school who
was always telling on the other boys.
One day after school the boys caught
him and one boy hit him on the head
with rock. In school he was the
only one to miss in spelling in our
row. He would eat candy in school,
and if anybody else ate any he would
tell on them.
On the grounds he would fight with
the little boys and take the swings
away from them. And when he would
get caught doing something he would
lie to get out of it.
One day the teacher gave him five
hours to make up in examples, and
it took him just twice as long to do
them, And he never has missed since
he had to stay. Your friend,
