course. I don't remember much
about it, except for what my par
ents have told me.
Il went to school in Keijo, Korea,
from the first grade through the
fifth. Then I had to go back to
Japan to st. Joseph's College, be-
cause Keijo didn't have any more
schools. I stayed at st. Josephs
through the ninth grade and then
came to the United States for the
rest of my schooling.
During vacations at st. Joseph's,
I used to visit my parents, who we're
then living in Manchuria. Father

Montgomery County High School Boy
Finds Time for Seven Hobbies
Prize Contribution.
RY PEGGY FRANCIS. Ia.

| Sherwood High School. Sandy Spring, Md.
How Reeves Graybill finds time
for all his hobbies is question that
puzzles other students at Sherwood
High School.
Reeves, 17-year-old sophomore at
the Sandy Spring MD school,
pursues one of his hobbies-geneal-
ogy-in the Library of Congress.
Il go there about once a month, "
he said. "Genealogy is very inter-
esting hobby and I only wish I had
more time to devote to It,"
Most interesting of Reeves hob
bies, however, is collecting old books.
His most valuable possession is a
German Bible dated 215 years ago.
It is a copy of the original transla-
ton by Martin Luther. Text books
of various kinds also are in his col
lection.
Several years ago a Buggy Club"
was organized in Spencerville, Md,
where Reeves lives on farm. He
joined the club, got himself a buggy
and proceeded to make study OF
transportation in the "horse and
buggy" era.
Fourth on Reeves list of hobbies
Is collecting arrowheads.
Il don't have many arrowheads
yet-only a few more than 20-but
enjoy collecting them." he said
Il found a few of my arrowheads on
my farm, but most of them I picked
up in Virginia"
Reeves has approximately 5000
postage stamps, representing every
part of the world. His coin collec-
tion also represents many lands,
though most of the specimens came
from Europe.

st. Ceeelia's Academy.
The light, 1t shone so brightly
AS the boy began to cram,
For tomorrow was the day
OF that awful French exam.
All through the former years
No thought of study had he;
And unless the night was long
He would pay the penalty.
He locked his door and found his
place,
He settled on his bench;
He prayed to God for a little aid
To help him with his French.
The hours, they passed by quickly,
And when the clock struck 3
The boy, he went to bed,
And of French he dreamed, did he,
He woke up with the dawn,
And his way to school he went,
Offering up another prayer
That little aid be sent.
The paper was handed to him,
He was told to 60 and write;
But the boy, he couldn't do it,
Though he tried with all his
might.
So sad was his plight,
So sad was his grade,
So sad was the boy,
Who no effort had made
Here my little story ends,
And as good advice I'll say:
Never put of till tomorrow
What you should do today.

The high point of Preb's career
to date, however, was when he played
for an audience of approximately

Il was only 6 then" he recalled
And the piano and the stage and

Two Anacostia High School stu

SE.-are preparing to resume ex-

peake Bay in the older boys home
made diving suit.
"All we're waiting for is sum-
mer," Dick declared. Then we'll
be down at Chesapeake Beach
making a study of underwater
life"
Dick, a senior, made the diving
suit last year in the school metal
work shop. Two friends helped,
and the job took about two months
altogether.
Il made it out of an old hot
water tank and piece of garden
hose" Dick explained. ITS made
so it goes over my head, with two
openings for my arms and two for
my legs.
Pipes Used in Pump.
THE hose is used to pump air to
me while I'm under water. I made
the pump out of couple of pieces of
pipe and some cup washers. In the
part of the tank where my head
goes I put some automobile safety
glass"
Putting in the glass was the
hardest part of the job," reminded
James, who is better known as
Busy. Dick had to try three or
four pieces before he finally got
the thing figured out. He bolted the
glass on with strips from an old
inner tube under the edges, to keep
it from leaking. 1t works ne, too"
The youths tried out the suit last
summer at North Beach, Dick doing
the diving and Busy the pumping.
Boys shouldn't try diving of this
kind without the supervision of older
people" Dick cautioned. Il not
only made my diving suit with the
knowledge of my parents and teach
ers, but I made it point to get
expert advice from a professional
diver. This chap is diver at the
Navy Yard, and he gave me a lot
of good advice on how to go under
water without taking any chances.
He even told me what kind of oil
to use in the pump, to keep the suit
from getting full of fumes.
Tested in Shallow Water.
Busy and I tried out my suit
in shallow water first" Dick con-
tinued. Then, when we knew for
sure that it was safe, we rowed out
into the bay. The water was about
20 feet deep there, but the suit
worked swell. 1 don't know how
long l stayed under water. but it
seemed to be about Is minutes. The
only trouble was it was too dark to
see anything"
To overcome this difficulty Dick
is working on waterproof fash
light.
With the light" he pointed out,
L can hunt around for crabs and
oysters. Thatll be more fun than
just walking around on the bot
tom-and I might be able to make
a little money out of it, too!'
Dick took his contraption to
Chesapeake Beach last fall, and it
is there that he and Busy intend to
resume their under water explora-
tlons as soon as the weather-and
completion of the new light-per-
nit
We'll make sure, though, that
there are plenty of people around
when we do our diving" Dick prom
ised. Even professional divers be-
lieve in playing safe, you know-and
there's no sense in couple of anna
teurs like us taking any chances"
And I'm not going to do all the
pumping this year. either" Busy
declared. Dicks going to have to
pump for me, tool"

Bananas sway in rain,
And often looked at oranges
And never thought of Spain.

For grocery shops were grocery
