finally settled down to spaceship
life We headed for the moon 1t
took US about three days to get
there.
On our trip to the moon we had
encountered many meteOrs. We
were excited when we set foot on.
the moon. We knew that we were
the first people on the moon. 1t was
very lonely place. There were
no flowers, trees, or anything ex-
cept rock. Because the moon has
no gravity, or hardly any, we felt
like balloons. We had been out
for many hours and our supply was
running low. AS we started back
we headed straight for the earth
and home.

A Trip To The Moon
1t was a very rainy day. Brenda,
Linda and I didn't know what to
do. We started talking about the
moon. We. decided to take little
walk When we got to the meadow
we saw something strange. We
looked at it very closely and found
that it was a spaceship. We got in
it and looked around, then we took
off.
AS we got nearer to the moon
we saw some funny looking clothes
and we put them on. When we
looked back we saw the earth but
it seemed like a little ball in the
distance.

out and l said to Linda, 1T surely
is lonely, isn't it," She didn't
answer me, so l spoke to her
again. She still didn't answer We
found out that sound doesn't carry
on the moon. We didn't see any
living things on the moon either.
After a while we saw some
thing behind a rock. At first we
could not figure out what it was.
We started in fright, for out into
view came two moon men. We ran
all over looking for our rocket.
When we found it, we got in
quickly. The moon men started
shooting at us, but we got away
from them and came home.

My Trip To Mercury
On March 8, 1860, 1 Suzy Hudecz,
was sitting in my front yard when
l heard a noise like the roar of an
airplane. 1t landed in my yard
It was not an airplane-it was a
rocket. No one was in it when
went to look. l got inside of the
rocket, and just when / reached
the seat it took off. I didn't know
where was until 1 heard voice
saying "Suzy! Suzy!" I turned
around in fright, and there on the
seat was June. l said, June, what
are you doing here of all places,
how did you get here?" June be-
gan to laugh, but l didn't know
what was so funny. l asked her to
tell me. She said the she was cap
tured by some Mercury people that
came to her back yard and got her
When they reached the rocket they
died, so she was left in the rocket
by herself. I said, do you know
where we are heading?' June said
that we were heading for Mer-
curry. thought and thought, then
I said, Are there lots of Mercury
cars up there?" ssOh don't be so
silly, there aren't any cars up
there, June said.
We went on and on and in a few
minutes we landed. There to await
me was brand new Mercury car,
there wasn't any for June because
she didn't believe in such things.
We decided to head back to earth.
Just then l said, How are we
going to get the car in the rocket?"
Then / heard voice, ::a-r-r-r-r''
and there before us was a golden
road so we could drive my Mercury
! back to earth.

A Trip To Mars
One day was going to take a
trip to Mars. thought there would
be candy bars there. / went to
the place where the rockets took
off, l got in the biggest one and
the countdown began-10-9-8-7-6-
5-4-3-2-1-O, Blast of! Then with
a cloud of smoke was off. The
earth was getting smaller and my
eyes were getting larger.
There were lots of stars and
planets beyond me. Mars was get
ting closer and closer. When 1
landed on Mars, had to put on
my space suit and air tanks.
When l got out, | saw not one
candy bar was there. was glad
that l brought some with me- There
were lot of peaks and big holes.
/ was starting to run out of air, so
I went back to the rocket ship. 1
was very hot on Mars and I wished
l was back on Earth.
After l had my supper / went
to bed. 1t didn't feel right to sleep
on planet Mars. When | woke up,
it looked the same as when l went
to bed-darkl
After I had written about Mars
started for Earth. Then the
countdown began = 10-9-8-7-6-5
4-3-2-1-0, Blast off! I started for
earth. The earth was getting Iarg-
er and my eyes were getting small
er. With nice landing l got out
and said, At last I'm on EARTH .

Electricity
Our class has been studying
about electricity At first we gave
reports and then we started to
make things like lights and mag
nets. We also brought things to
school to get ideas as to what we
would make.
One thing we made was an elec-
trio current detector We also made
question board.
To make an electric current de-
tector, you must get coil of wire
and tape it to a board. : nen. put
