Contests in High School
Building Spirited

Intense rivalry in both the
grammar grades and the high
school contests was feature OF
Book Week. The prize in the
grammar grades was won by
Miss Hearn's grade with Miss
Lambs grade a good second. A
great deal of excitement and
some misunderstanding was
caused when some of the pupils
rallying to the support Of the
senior class turned a few books
over to the eleventh grade credit
But when the eleventh grade In
class action decided that support
was appreciated but not ex-
actly the right thing the prize
went by a very narrow margin
to the tenth gaade.

keep of the hot sun. when the bun
ny rabbit gentleman saw what he
thought was a bunch OF dried weeds
in among his hills OF corn.
Nurse Jane must have pulled up
the weeds and left them on the
ground" said Uncle Wiggily TO him
self. But they may take root and
spring up again. I had better take
them away and burn them up.
Weeds are not good in a garden"
The bunny gentleman reached for
the bunch Of weeds, and, as he lift
ed them up a tiny creature jumped
out with a frightened squeak, some
tiny forms clinging to her.
"Oh, my goodness" cried Mr..
Longeare. "A little mouse had her
nest under that pile of weeds. I
didn't know IL and have spoiled her
home. oh. dear!"
Yes, IL is very sad" spoke the lit
tie mouse, who, with her family
clinging to her. and leaped away
when the bunny litter the weeds.
She came to a stop after three or
four long jumps. on a hill Of corn,
some distance away from the bunny.
Still" went on Mrs. Mouse. "Im
glad VOC were not a bad cat"

"Ohl not 80 much as you think.
said the jumping mouse. IF you
put back the weed bunch I can make
my nest there again. We live very
simply in the summer. And If you
don't mind I'll stay in your garden
until the cold weather comes"
Stay as long as you like, invited
Uncle Wiggily.
Thank you" spoke the tiny crea-
