Paper.

l like to write for the paper be-
cause it is nice to read something that
children have written and not
Clinton Combs.
Oh, goody! tomorrow is the day we
write articles for the paper. l am
going to write about that big OWLS
nest we saw in the woods last night.
I'm going to tell how the little owls
we're all sitting out on a limb while
the mother was away. 1t is the best
day of the week. l like to imagine l
am down in the woods instead of in
the school house. 1t is fun to think
of the people who will read our ar
ticles. 1t is just like a contest to see
if you can win and your article gets
into the paper. Daddy said that the
Peptimist notes are the best articles
he has ever read written by children. l
heard a lady say she liked to read the
Peptimist notes better than most ar
ticles. Another lady said it was non
sense, but l guess she didn't have
anybody in the seventh grade to write
articles.-Evalyn Michel.
like to turn the pages of the Cour-
Ter and see in large letters "Peptimist
Notes." l like to see the of the
pupils in my own class in the paper.
I heard my mother talking about the
news. She said the letters from Eu-
rope were very good.-Louise Cain.
It is the most interesting of all
our subjects in school. When l go to
college l intend to take journalism
and l want to keep it up so it will
be easier in high school and college.
When the paper comes, the first thing
l turn to is the "Peptimist Notes"
Ny parents are nearly as interested
in it as I am.-Thelma Hart.
I like it because you can learn more
how to write good stories. You learn
to p%unctuate better because no one
wants to put anything in the paper
that isn't spelled or punctuated cor
rectly. l want to keep it up because
l haven't had any story in the paper
yet and many of the others have hac
two or three. I do not always reae
the articles after they are published
because l do not get the Courier, but
I'm going to try to get it.-Leo Hoff,
man.
1 think it is fun to write storie:
about what is happening in our school
Then, too, I like to see my name il
the paper. Whenever I get hold O.
a paper I turn as quickly as I cal
to the school news. l want to keel
it up. Now that we have started
what is the use of quitting. l like t.
read the different pupils views.
have heard my parents talking to GU.
neighbor about it. They think it i
a very fine thing.
Writing for the paper is a hard jot
It is still harder when you are no
SO very good in penmanship althoug'
you feel as though you had don
something when it is done. Some
times it is fun to write a story. Agai1
sometimes you get Disguised. TIL
first thing l look at when the pape
arrives is the school notes. Some
times they tell things that I neve
dreamed of.-Roy johnson.
You can learn how to make tn
stories interesting after you grow W
Esther Jones.
I like it because I like to see m
story in the paper. I do not read any
thing hardly but the Peptimist Note'
like to see my articles published
Jane Lewis.
1t teaches me not to make so man
mistakes. It makes me more inter
ested in writing stories.-Fern Moor
1t is fun to write stories for tn
paper. 1t helps US to express oul
selves in writing as we'll as in speec
and it is fun to see how your ow
story looks in print. l want to kee
on writing for the paper quite bad
if it wasn't for the fact that Miss O.
terberg must get very tired of CO
recting our papers. Mother and da'
dy are just as anxious to read tt
Courier as l am and every Wednesda
mother says, "Well, Flossie, did yc
get a story in the Courier today" ~
Florence Olson.
Every once in a while my moth
asks me if I got a story in the pam
this week. l like it because it in
proves your writing and it's nice
have your name put in the paper
Willie Osmundsen.
1 would like to pick up a paper al
ready a story and think that l am II
author of it. l would like to keen
up because l would be getting a lit
better all the time and l might <
one of my stories published.
I think writing "Peptimist Note
more fun than anything I've yer do
in school. Ordinary school is so u
interesting. You go to school eve
day and study or pretend to and tn
you go home cross at night. 1t is
useful practice, l think l have il
proved a great deal in Language sin
We began this. Our family alwa
reads our notes-that is everybody e
cept my brother who was a Peptim:
himself last year. Mama is making
scrap book with the notes. A m
told mama my trip through Germa
was a very good article to have be
written by me. Perhaps he thong
I was too stupid to write anythir
Some of my girl friends say they Wi
they could do this in their school,
