Hercules" by Hardy Gramatky.
When the educational magazines,
the children's librarians, the liter
airy critics, thousands of children
and their parents, to say nothing
Of such experts as William McFee,
Gordan Grant and Joseph c. Lin
coin, all agree that a book is a
sheer delight, history has been
made. And 1t was when Little
loot" was published. Little loot
the tugboat, was irresistible. Now
the imaginative young creator OF
Little loot" presents a rival
Hercules" a little old-fashioned
horse-drawn fire engine, and Her
cules' story is presented with all
the verve and dashing, brilliant col
or that made Little loot" such a
success a year ago.
Hercules" in his younger days
was the pride of his city. His
cleaning red paint and shining
brass were an inspiring sight as he
dashed to every fire, with his
friend the spotted coach dog be-
meath his axles and Hockey, Pokey,
and Smokey, his three firemen
hanging on for dear life. But times
change, and before Hercules had
really had a chance to prove his
mettle, he found himself replaced
by smelly, ungainly motor-driven
engine. Gone were his horses. His
brassy cheeks grew dull. Only his
pride remained, as he gathered
dust in the back Of the firehouse.
Finally his big chance came. Her
cules, like Little loot, was Of the
stuff Of which heroes are made. One
after another the motor-driven en-
gines broke down Gas automobiles
so frequently did in the old days),
and Hercules with the help Of Polk
ey, Hockey and Smoked saved the
day.

estra, and 675 in the band. The
chorus was given a B rating; octet
was given a B rating; Lorrayne
Pendroy was given the only A solo
rating from here on her French
horn.

and Mary Ann Dubois, presented
an assembly program. The octet
