high school staff, we this week give
u readers another good I'M by a
member Of the class. This is by Gladys
Callahan and shows a wonderful
amount of talent in a young girl.
"A SONG"
This is a true story. il was found
in a letter by an English soldier i n
the trenches to his sister in Ameri-
ca. The incident occurred the first year
of the war when the French. English
and German troops were entrenched
in Western France. The bitter hatred
that now exists had not yet develop
ed and the soldiers sent friendly mes.
sages across No-Man's-Land, They
did not know the actual meaning OF
war, their loved ones and friends had
not been slaughtered like cattle, they
had not felt the terrible pangs OF
starvation.
In the German army was a young
orderly, a iovial young fellow who
had won the love of his companions
by his cheerfulness. Fritz he was
called. During times of leisure wher
the soldiers gathered around in groups
