one Of our pupils.
Since then, six or seven copies
OF the schoolboy patrolman's fig-
ure, with pants painted blue, sweater
red and patrol belt white, have been
made by the woodshop at Alice
Deal Junior High School. The ma =
terials were bought by the asso-
ciation.
When our patrols 60 on duty
each morning, they put these wood
en- images in the middle of the
street about Is feet from the inter-
sections. Automobiles and trucks
have to go around the figures, and
as result they slow down con-
siderably. That makes it safer for
the children.
So far as I know, they are the
only wooden partolmen used in the
Washington schools. This makes it
easier for our patrolmen, and they
can devote more of their time to
helping the smaller children across
the intersections.
Miss Helen G. Gantley, our princi-
pal, and Robert w. Eaves, principal
Of Thompson School and chairman
of the Citywide Safety Committee
for Public Schools. are well pleased
with the results Of this experiment
and are watching 1t closely.

Ruth Davis. $3.50 Fourteenth
street NV. was awarded a prize
for an article on St. Patrick. Here
Is her reaction, as set down in still
another recent note on the dollar
question:
Il am not Irish, but I felt like
saying 'Hurrah for the Irish when
saw my article printed in the
paper this time. And don't let any
body tell you that, after the first
time you get something printed in
the paper you aren't as thrilled, be-
cause get more excited each time.
Il want to thank you for the
check. 1t came a few days before
Easter, and I thought of using it to
buy my mother and daddy something.
I am trying to save enough money to
buy myself a good wrist watch,
though, and my mother told me to
save the dollar for that. So far, I
have over 81 saved"

Alice Louise Reed. 1912 Eighteenth

correspondents at Anacostia High
School, reports that she has Just
written her 125th poem. She adds:

Eleanor Robey, 2615 Brentwood

receipt of her Junior Star reporters
card, declares herself very proud
and happy to have it." She prom
ises to work hard to send In good
stories that will help me to earn the
right to keep the card.
"At present." she continues, II am
a member of the Journalism Club at
Taft Junior High School, but for
years have wanted leading part
In the operetta during my last year
there. One of the rules for a leading
part Is that one must belong to the
Glee Club in order to get one, and an
other rule prevents our belonging to
both the Glee Club and the Journal
ism Club, so it looks as though will
have to give up one. Being Junior
Star reporter will make me feel
much better about having to give up
journalism at Taft. I hope boys and
girls for years to come will have the
fun Of writing for The Junior Star" :"
"Just doing anything" is the
hobby of Patricia Anne Bailey, II, of
1890 Belmont street NV. An
Easter poem by Oliver B. Lerch, jr.,
5, of 3725 S street NV, was pub
nshed in the j. 8. last Sunday.
Don't you think this Is pretty good
for little boy S years old?" he asks
in a note. I sure do, Ollie; that's

every one had a different number.
we counted again and again until
finally all Of us reached the same

About two weeks later we were in

Travelling, travelling all day long,
In boats and trains just whizzing

Beautiful scenes of the great out

We see the tall trees as they reach

With birds about them flying high.
These many things you see today,
You learn a lot the quickest way.

Weather Effects

BY BEVERLY KNAPP, II,
Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School
One night I crawled into my bed,
And pulled the covers up oer my
head.
I lay dreaming of a number of
things
I wondered what the next day would
bring.
Whatever the weather turns out
to be,
It's sure to have an effect on me.
Will 1t be sunny, will it be gray,
Will 1t be dreary, or will it be gay?
If it should snow and cover the
ground,
Making the earth seem pure when
crowned,
'Twould present to me a mood so
bright,
That I'd be gay from dawn till night.

Trees grow new leaves in spring.
In summer in the breeze they swing,
They are red, yellow and brown in

In winter they are bare and tall.

Spring Poems
BY SARA DUTTON, IA,
EAateYn HiHh 9rhaal


Do you know when spring Is here?
I do!
It's when the robin sings his song
And boys and girls play all day long.
It's when the grass 50 fresh and
Comes peepins out Of the earth 50
clean.
It's when the cherry blossoms appear.
Then know that spring is here.
Don't you?
BY MILDRED ANNE PORTCH, II.
Franklin Sherman High School, Mclean, Va.
The robin came back today;
Last fall he few away.
He sings. Cheer up. cheer up!
Don't you dare cut up"
He builds his nest high up in a tree.
II any one bothers him he will fee.
Spring is here" the robins say.
Il will not fly away this warm spring
day"
BY KAREN GERBER, IL,
Gordon Junior Hish School.
The girls are skating in the parks,
The boys kites are sailing high,
While marbles roll along the ground.
For spring, you see, is nigh.
The trees are putting on their best,
Their clothes Of lovely green,
And far out In the woodland
Wilddowers may bo seen.
