A Mouse
l saw a mouse
In a house.
He was eating cheese
And he sneezed,
And dropped his cheese.
So the mouse ran out the door.
And he knocked the teakettle on
floor
And he was never seen any more.

Wednesday morning when the 8-B
class was in the English room,
small white cat walked in. In spite
of his white fur he locked brown
from the dust. When he passed
my desk petted him and<hoticed
he had green eyes. After that he
walked out. Kitty didn't remain
very long. He soon came back and
strolled around the room. When
no one put him out I guess he
thought he could stay.-Virginia
Lucers, 8-B.
THE LITTLE STREAM
The little stream keeps flowing on
All through the day til the sun is
gone;
Still the little stream keeps flow
ing on
Year in and year out.
Little fishes keep jumping about
And on its banks are flowers grow
ing;
But still the little stream keeps on
flowing.

Most of El Centro's population
was gathered down at the depot
last Saturday, either to go on the
excursion to see "Old IronSides" or
to see the children off. The train
left about 8 o'clock Saturday and
returned that same evening at II
o'clock. While there of course, we
visited the U. S. F. Constitution and
several other ships. This trip was
perhaps the first train ride for many
of us. We went through 81 tun-
nels which were quite exciting.
Crossing Carriso Gorge attracted
great deal of attention. While in
San Diego many souvenirs were
bought. The trip was thoroughly
enjoyed-Barbara Horton, 8-B-l.
