Sally Ann Dreams
of Adventures
Prize Contribution.
By SuIto Lenoir CopeIond, 8
Hume School, Arlington

Once there was little girl whose
name was Sally Ann. Her mother
sent her to the store across the park
in front of her home. 1t was BEAU
tiful, sunny day, and when Sally Ann
crossed the park, she sat down on a
bench in the nice warm sun. She
began to feel sleepy.
Suddenly she saw a little monkey.
She got up to follow the little mon
key and he led her into a deep wood.
Sally Ann began to feel strange.
She saw many animals all around
her, and suddenly the animals began
to chase her. She ran deeper into
the wood, and then saw pretty
little house.
Sally Ann did not know that the
Witch of the Forest lived there. The
Witch caught her as she walked to-
ward the little house. Sally Ann was
very frightened. The Witch kept
her for many days and made her
work very hard.
One night when the Witch was
sleeping, Sally Ann climbed out of
the window. Alas, she did not watch
where she was running and she fell
into an old well.
She screamed, Help, help!" Her
screams woke the animals Of the
wood. The little monkey reached
her first. He was q smart monkey
and he pulled her out Of the well.
BY this time the Witch was awake.
She discovered that Sally Ann was
gone and she took her spy glass to
look for her. Soon she spied Sally
Ann and the little monkey.
With her magic power, the Witch
began to draw Sally Ann toward her,
but Sally Ann guessed what was
happening. She knew the Witch
could not draw trees to her, so she
caught hold of big oak tree.
There was only one thing the
Witch could do, and she started run
ming toward Sally Ann. Sally Ann
was very frightened, but being q
brave, smart girl, she got an idea.
She broke small branch OF the
tree, and she climbed up the tree.
When the old Witch arrived, Sally
Ann said to her, Come on up you
horrible old thing"
How dare you call me that, you
wretched girl" said the Witch, and
she began climbing the tree.
When the old Witch was close
enough, Sally Ann began to tickle
her with the branch that she had
broken of. The Witch sneezed, "Ah
choo, ali choo!" She sneezed so
hard she fell out of the tree and
broke her neck. If you ask me, it
was what she deserved.
Sally Ann spent the rest Of the
night in the tree, and before she
knew it, it was dawn. Some hunters
had come to the wood. One of the
hunters mistook Sally Ann for an
animal and shot at her.
Suddenly she was falling down,
down, down.
And then she woke up and found
herself lying beside the park bench.
On the street q car had stopped be-
cause tire had blown out.
All the time, Sally Ann had been
dreaming. She got up, brushed her
self OF and ran home. She was glad
to see her mother.

BY Philip H. Love

| Life is very Jolly, indeed, at WOOD
row Wilson High School.
| At least, that's the impression one
gets from the column that Teri,
Ruth and o. K" write for the Wood
row Wilson Beacon Beacon Peek
in Is its title, and it contains the
best classroom anecdotes to be found
in any student newspaper published
ihereaboutS.
One recent item, for example,
told of the fun that resulted when
Naomi Pollin, Beacon editor and
Junior Star correspondent, asked her
French teacher If she and her class
mates could learn to sing Frances
national anthem, La Marseillaise"
When the class period ended, the
column SAID, Naomi and the teacher
were singing while the other stu
dents just sat and listened. Naomi
and the teacher, Teri, Ruth and o.
K. concluded, are IAN up-and-com-

Another item described a demon
stration by Mrs. M. c. Spangler of
the best way to make up bed that
is occupied by a sick person. Lois
Settle took the part of the patient
and, the columnists chortled, fell
asleep, Ito the envy Of the rest Of
the class"
Still another item reported the
trouble Richard Baturin had in typ
ing class. 1T seems the typewriter
misspelled quite a few words" Teri,
Ruth and o. K. wrote Not to Of
fend the ladies in the room, Rich
ard kept saying, French, French,

Finally, another student gave up
trying to do her homework and
said, "Yes?" Her name, it seems,

kramsr Junior High Sehesl
He's nothing much but fur
And two round eyes Of blue.
He has a giant purr
And a midget NEW.
He darts and pats the air.
He stops and cocks his ear,
When there is nothing there
For him to see or hear.
He runs around in rings,
But why I cannot tell.
With sideways leaps he springs
At things invisible.
Then, half way through a leap
His startled eyeballs close
And he drops of to sleep
With one paw on his nose.

Indian Chief On War Path Tries To Scalp Squaw

WAVERLY, Tenn, (P) - Old Chief Eagle Feather, who admits he tried to scalp his wife, is on the warpath again.
 The white-haired 97-year-old Cherokee warrior is out for re- venge but he's not using a knife this time. It's all legal.
 The chief, it seems, thinks the wrong person was put in jail. Sheriff Trent Westbrook says the chief believes his wife, 69-year- old Princess Silverheels, should be the one behind bars.
 Westbrook say the chief was put in jail Thursday after he went on the warpath and had to be re- strained by neighbors from lifting his wife's scalp with a knife.
 Princess Silverheels later with drew the charge of assault but the chief said he wanted revenge.
 SnOrtly a1ter ms release yeSter- day from county jail the chief asked to see the sheriff.
 Eagle Feather said his wife was hiding stolen property, Westbrook related "corn" to be exact.
 A search of the Princess house revealed a cache of stolen moon shine Westbrook said.
 It was Silverheel's turn to think about languishing in jail. She was charged with concealing stolen property, but was released on her own recognizance until a prelim- mary hearing today, Westbrook said.

 The justice department said FBI agents followed Miss Coplon to New York Friday and arrested her with Gubitchev after trailing them through elusive maneuvers in the best detective story tradi- tion.-
 
 In Miss Coplon's purse when she was taken into custody, the department said, was a flat pack age containing "typewritten sum- maries of information abstracted from confidential documents in- volving security data and restrict ed information"
 Just what was in the documents was kept closely secret, as were most other details of the bizarre affair. The department however, indicated that the papers actually were worthless.
 That suggestion came from the departments statement that Miss Coplon had been under suspicion for some time, as a result of in formation growing out of the gov- ernments routine loyalty check.
