"WHAT L WANT TO DO WHEN ]
GROW UP''
BY Ethel May Rogers, A Avenue
School

When I am grown to a young wom-
an I wish to be a missionary in
foreign countries, where I can help
others. The reason why I want to
be missionary is because Mary Sles-
sor was missionary in the year of
1888, in Africa, where it is said she
won many hearts. Mary Slessor was
a young girl of nineteen when she
started on her first trip as a mission
ary. Her first trip as missionary
was in the place which is now Cairo
on the Nile River. Her second mis-
sionary trip took her to the Sahara
Desert in the city of Tripoli. Il
thing TripoIi is the city, In this
city she was badly wounded by a
hangknife with which a native hit
her. This happened about her VSOth
birthday Her third trip she went
to Central Africa where she died
at the age of 50 years. For this
reason and many other reasons I
would like to be a missionary.

SECOND PRIZE
"ANIMALS III THE CIRCUS"
BY Jamie Lee Kellams, A Avenue
School

Now let's pretend that we are go
inc. to the circus. The first animal we
see is the lion. He is a big monster.
If it is the first time you have ever
been to a circus he will give you a
big scare But we soon learn that
he can't do anything to us. We
will see him do many stunts in the
show. We see many other animals.
We see monkeys, tigers, baboons,
elephants, wildcats and bears. We
must go in the main tent now, be-
cause we do not want to miss the
show. The band will start playing
pretty soon. Oh! here comes the
parade. There is that ugly lion. The
parade is over. We see very pret-
ty lady come out. She is going to
act with that ugly old lion. He is
led to a little platform. The lady
is going to the platform too. The
platform is being raised. Just one
snap and the lady would be gone.
But the lion is tame and not wild
like he was when he was caught.
We would have liked to have him
to play with. The lion act is over.
Then net is raised Many other
acts are put on. The fun is over.
We have to go home. But we can
remember the happy time we had.
