This hern or spike is so full of deadly poison it sometimes overflows and runs down his face. He never crawls. But when in rapid motion he reminds you of someone practicing capital O's in a freearm movement. This appear. ance is due to the fact that he travels by putting his tail between his Hps thus forming a circle and rolling along rapidly like a runaway buggy tire. From this fact his name of hoop sncke is derived. He lies in wait for his prey at the top of a tall hill, and as a quarry approaches, he suddenly emerges and rails down upon him at lightening Geraldine Beard. Third Grade OUR LIBRARY a library.

OUR PENNY BOX The second and third grade have a We penny box. It is a PLEASURES AND SORROWS Throughout life we go sharing the heartaches and joys that life affords. The rare pleasures that come to us, seem to make our whole beings tingle with the youth and vivacity that only enters upon us in our Optimistic moments. What are the pleasurable moments? Are they the moments when one has just witnessed other peoples sorrows, and dislikes. Or is it when the real, keen pleasures come, those for example, which are Perfrequently given by parents? haps a congratulation over some remarkable and helpful achievement? This is one remarkable pleasure one assumes. Sorrows What does the word sig nify to you? Is it when your body shades with anger and terror ? When someone has given you advice or when he has reprimanded you for your just errors or faults? If we all make it our genuine motto to go through sorrows and sadness, and to come at last to the end of the "rainbow" with a smile illuminating our features we can certainly by trying and striving make our sorrows, pleasures, and assure ourselves of wonderful futures. Consider the words, "pleasures" and "sorows." They are the words that can make our lives wonderful eternities or horrible nightmares. Sadie Stokes, Eighth Grade.
