Early winter found Sock in Paris.
After a strenuous period Of study he
set out in spring to travel through ,
France, Switzerland, Italy, Greece
and parts of Germany. He did most :
of his travelling on a bicycle.
Suddenly, things began happening
in Europe. And, by trick Of fate,
Sock found himself between the
Maginot and Siegfried Lines at the
outbreak Of the war He hurried to
book passage home as quickly as
possible, but the only boat on which
he could find a place was an old
freighter-which explains why 1t
took him l3 days to make the cross
ing.
Back at his home, at 3116 Park
place NV, Sock is greatly con-.
cerned over his future. You see, he
still has year and half Of his
scholarship to complete, and-well,
returning to Europe is out Of the
| question.
When asked what he will remem-
Der longest about his travels In
Europe, he said: Venice. I can
only describe that city as a beau
| titul dreamland."

Boy Finds Much of
Interest on First
Farm Vacation
BY LAURENCE O'ROURKE, 10,
River6ale ma School

Riverdale (Md) School.
was delighted when my aunt in
vited me to spend my vacation on
her farm in the Blue Ridge Noun
tains. I went by train to Strouds-
0urg, Pa, 1000 feet above sea level,
just beyond the Delaware Water
Gap. There I was met by my aunt
in her automobile, and had a long
ride through the State Forest, where
there is plenty of deer-hunting,
My aunt said maybe we would see
a deer, as they often cross the road
where the signs read, Deer Cross
Ing" but We were not so fortunate
On the farm there were plenty Of
wild animals. Young rabbits ran
across the lawn, and woodchucks
also came into the yard, where they
dug holes with skunks. We got a
kitten from farmer, and it killed
r many moles. The vegetable garden
had to be fenced in against the
deer, woodchucks and rabbits.
We were near a fresh-water lake,
so we went swimming and fishing
nearly every day. One day caught

the Clinch River was little more

model to me, he pointed out the
dome of the building and the two
windows that, in the original, looked

was supposed to speak. some one
would lean out the window and give
the angels speech"
The "dandies" would pay extra
to sit on the stage and advise the
actors as to how to play their parts.
Standing room in the pit was very
cheap, and often the "dandies" and
persons in the pit would conduct
