Boy Sets Up Dog Room
In Basement of Home
Affection for Pets
Follows Sending
OF Valentine
Ever hear of dog room?

Ever hear of dog room?
Well George Gullicksen, 15-year-
old Eastern High School student, has
one in the basement of his home at
904 Virginia avenue Sc, and any
one interested in dogs is welcome, he
says, ito come in and see it."
The room is tiny-about 6 feet
long by about feet wide-and
crammed with a variety of things
pertaining to dogs, but George insists
that he can squeeze any three aver
age-sized dog-lovers into it.
Georges interest in dogs Sprang
from a valentine. 1t was a card
decorated with drawings of several
dogs, and he sent it to Miss Elizabeth
Smith, teacher at the Virginia Ave-
nue. Playground, across the street
from his home.
Miss Smith has six dogs" George
explained. "She has done more for
dogs than any person know of, and
that's why I sent her a valentine
with dogs on it. The next time I
saw her, she took pains to tell me all
about dogs-how wonderful they are
and all that sort of thing"
About the same time, a national
magazine began q. puzzle contest
consisting of scrambled photographs
of dogs of various breeds. George
entered the competition, devoting all
his spare time to piecing the pictures
together and identifying them. He
won a prize of $50.
Il took the $50 and bought a wire
haired terrier with $40 of it and an
overcoat with the other $50" George
said. This made me more inter-
ested in dogs than ever, and I de-
clded to start my dog room"
The walls of the room are deco
rated with photographs and draw
ings OF dogs, and a narrow ledge
along one side is loaded with china
dogs. Scattered through the room
are many other dogs-lead ones,
iron ones, even a stuffed one of the
kind used as toys by small childrsn.

Not all of Dons shells can be
accurately described as sea shells.
One, for instance, is a scorpions
she'll from Australia. It was among
batch Of shells that he bought in
Atlantic City last summer.
I've learned that l can find
more interesting things if keep
away from the crowds at the
beaches" Don said. "I take long
collecting trips along lonely sec
tlons OF the beaches. I bring home
the best shells that I find. and dur
ing the winter I spend many pleas
ant hours sorting and labelling these
specimens.
Refers to Books.
To identify his shells, Don con-

MY DREAMS OF A WINTRY DAY.
Twas morning. The sun shone so
merry and bright
Against dancing snoWflakes-a heav-
emily sight.
The meadows were covered with
soft silver lace:
The glittering snowdrops danced
down through blue space.
They f1oated, they coasted. not max
ing a sound,
Till at last, just by drifting. they
reached the white ground.
What a beautiful sight, with the
ice-covered leaves
Casting large purple shadows
amongst silvery trees.
Then when evening comes on with
its star lit up sky
There in bed shall I dream of the
pleasures passed by.
EDITH ADELE DANZIGER.
THE SNOWMAN.
One day 1 made q snowman
And packed him up real tight;
I had him make two resolutions
So that he would start out right.
The first one was, Il will not melt:
The second, I'll stand up straight"
And just to make him happier
I made him a nice new mate.
Later that day went outside
To see how my snowman could be,
And when got there. on the ground,
A puddle was all I could see.
He d broken his resolutions,
He'd broken every one;
But maybe it was my fault
Cause made him in the sun!

THE FROST KING.

OF evening after the sun goes down,
And the winds of night blow sharp,
Then enter the king who sings a
song
To the tune of his frosty harp.
I'm tired tonight and weary,
After a days toll long,
And I'm glad to hear through my
window pane
The frost kings wintry song.
He sings of fields that are frosty
white,
Topped with an icy crispness,
OF winds that whistle and scream
tonight,
He tells of their sting and briskness
He sings of sleigh bells and merry
groups,
Sped quickly over the snow,
With happy hearts and blithe young
tongues,
And faces all agloW.
He takes my mind from the worries
And cares that come with the light,
So sing, frost king, and make it long
Sing me a song tonight.
SYLVIA PROST.
THIS THING CALLED WINTER.
When the wind is sharp and biting
Do you hate its bitter sting?
Are you loathe to be out in it,
Longing for q breath of spring ?
Or do you love it, crave it
The wild and roaring blast
That brings the color to your cheeks,
Uplifts your soul unto the peaks
And makes your heart beat fast?
Have you felt strong distaste
For gloomy skies and chilling rain?
Do you want to curse the ice
That makes you slip, time and
again?
Or are you one of those who think
The ice work of art
Who thrills to every rhythmic beat
OF pattering rain like dancing feet,
And grieves that they must part?
Please impress this on your mind:
There's beauty everywhere!
1t may be in the darkest night.
Or in the day when all is light;
But train your soul. your ears, your
sight,
To know and love-not hate and
slight
All things in Gods care!
DORIS BALLARD.
THIS TIME OF YEAR.
This is the time of year
When the snow is falling down:
When all the trees are bare
And not a blade of grass is found.
This is the time of year
When the bears are in their caves,
And the birds have flown South,
These cold winter days.
When the cold wind blows,
This is the time of year
And the cold days are drear.
When Jack Frost bites your toes.

History Lesson
BY MILDRED WAINTRAUB, 13,

Eastern High School,
In seventeen hundred eighty-two
Great Britain DER the sea
A treaty signed with the U. S. A
A treaty that made us free.
Now why don't other countries take
A page fom England's book.
And in one stride cast war aside?
We'd all have peace and time to
think
OF happiness, not war;
And then, I'm sure, we'd come to
know
What life is really for!

When the winds their worst and

And waves to towering proportions

And boats on shore to bits are

In a boat on the leaping waves:
