Buck Buck Similar
To Leapfrog, Makes
A Fine Team Game

This game, called Buck Buck" is
played with two equal sides. three
or more boys on side. One side
takes down which means that
the boys on that side form a line
with one man at their head, called
the lamp post" upon whom the
whole line depends. The boys fol-
lowing the first one place their
heads between the legs of the boys
in front of them, grasping each
ones legs with their hands in
order to steady themselves and thus
form a strong, bridgelike line.
After they have taken their po-
sition the boys on the other side.
standing back of them 10 feet or
more, one after another run and
leap upon the line as in leapfrog.
When they have all leaped the
first man holds a certain number
of fingers on one hand up, calling
out, Buck, Buck, How Many Fingers
Up?" The last man of the side that
is down calls out the number which
he thinks the man on top is holding
up. If he guesses correctly, then
the side that was down gets to leap
If he fails to guess, however, then
his side stays down and the same
side gets to leap again.
If any member of the side that
is leaping touches the ground in
any manner when he jumps, then
that places his side down. Each
Jumper must hold the position he is
in when he strikes the line Also
if the side that is down does not
hold up the other side, then they
are not allowed to guess how many
fingers are up, but have to take
their place down again.

Source of Statues
On Easter Island
Is Still UnsOlved

How many of you have heard Of
the "Unsolved Mystery of the Pa
ciflc?" If you haven't and if YOU
are interested in mysteries you'll
want to know about this one.
1t concerns an island in the South
Pacific Ocean known sometimes as
Waihu or Rapanui but more COM
monty as Easter Island. 1t is one Of
the Polynesian group, and its near
est neighbor, Pitcairn Island. Is
1.400 miles east of it. In 1888 it was
annexed to Chile, which is 1000
miles to the east, and since has
been made q penal settlement.
Here are the strange facts: On
this island there are no less than
$50 statues. not all completed, some
of them huge in size. What race of
men carved these statues and for
what purpose is still a mystery.
There are also platforms of ma
sonry 80 feet high and from 200 to
800 feet long. The houses, built like
forts, are of stone over 100 feet LONG,
with walls Of great thickness. Tab
lets curiously inscribed with hiero-
glyphics are also found.
The island is about a square
miles in area and contains craters
Of three extinct volcanoes. one
nearly 1000 feet high. Forty of the
statues are standing inside the
crater Of one Of these volcanoes.
It is believed by some that Easter
Island IS q remnant of a greater
land which was overwhelmed by the
sea after some great earthquake
and volcanic eruption. The belief
is furthered by the fact that some
Of the largest statues are buried to
the neck in ashes.
But the race of sculptor builders
Is still a mystery. Some scientists
believe the island was overwhelmed
probably less than 1000 years ago,
or about the same time as the Nor.
man conquest of England.

Baby Sister

Western High School.
Have you ever seen child
That could get into so many
things?
She's on the table, behind the stove,
Or caught in the chain Of the
swing
She's got one puppy by the tail,
The other by the ears,
And if we take them from her,
She'll start a flood of tears.
I've got teeth marks on each shoul-
der
And bruises on my knees,
For Margie. that's my sister,
Bites anything she sees.
They call her Tony Galento
Because she is so tough;
She'll get you down upon the floor
And make you yell Enough"
And yet she's such a good little girl,
She very seldom cries;
Maybe it's human nature
When she causes so many sighs.
