One day a teacher from Wat
sonville came to visit our room.
Some of us had gone home be-
cause it was after 2 o'clock. She
looked at our work. That day we
had made some pictures and had
written stories about them. We
drew pictures of our safety rhymes.
She liked them very much. She
wanted to take some of them to
show them to her boys and girls.
We gave her Rena Fac s and Fran
ceS' pictures and stories for that
day. She told us she would send
us some of the work her children
did. Today the surprise came. We
couldn t guess what it was SO our
teacher told US. They sent us two
books with stories and pictures they
had made. They sent us some real
pictures of their town. It's nice
town too. They were polite, they
wrote letter and thanked us for
our pictures and stories. We are
going to write and thank them
too. 1t surely was fun to read
their stories and look at the pic
lures. They can write good stories
and make good pictures, too.-1-A

Once I had a kite. One day I

down for me. Now fly my kite
away from the telephone wires

One day last week Jimmy Evans
sent some of his spelling papers
from Salinas. He has improved in
his penmanship and other studies
very much since he left. We are
glad he is doing such good work.
We would like to see him again.

In our 4-A room are many child
rem who have taken responsible
ties that help out so much. A
group of girls help in serving the
lunch and often do it alone. We
have a milk monitor. The milk is
in his care and he sees that each
bottle has a straw and that each
person puts his or her ticket into
the box. A girl is bell monitor.
She always rings the bell on time.
A group of children keep the
room in order. Two girls clean the
erasers and take care of the black
board daily. Different children
have taken turns in writing out
the lunch orders. They have done
it without any mistakes. -Four
pupils take care of the tickets, and
Virginia Price delivers them to the
teachers. Honoring "Boys' Week.
the attendance monitor was a
different boy each morning of the
week.. Frances Newell, 4-A.
On the way to school some of
our pupils noticed some queer flags
on a pole in front of house. Each
was shaped like a fish. On the
fifth day Of the fifth month the
boys have their own an
nual festival. The flag is a SYM
boil that the home has boy. If
there is more than one son there
will be as many fishes as there
are boys in the family. The carp
is a symbol of strength and brav-
cry. japanese boys are taught to
be brave. Marvyn Walker brought
a large paper fish to our school
room. Jiro Mayeda brought
small one. One of our boys read
an interesting story about the spe-
cial day. We had an art lesson
and made a fish.-4-A class.
Once upon a time there was
good girl that always minded her

Jones. One day when she went
out to play, Nancy saw plant
growing in her back yard. Every
day Nancy watered the plant. The
little plant grew and grew until it
was rose bud. Still Nancy wat
cred the plant. One day the bud
opened into a pretty red rose
