Show 4 THE SALT LAKE' TRIBUNE SUNDAY MORNING C The Little Adventure By THELMA BRANDON Payson High School A very old house stood at the end of the lane and was surrounded by many new and clean buildings The date of its erection was carved on one of the beams by this date it could be seen that this old house was nearly three hundred years old It was literally covered with vines through which were peering strangely carved grotesque faces It was thought to be a haunted house because at night queer lights flickered from the windows and many claimed it to issue forth very strange noises No one had dared enter it In many a year Although I had heard numerous mysterious legends concerning this ancient place I convinced myself By RUTH BARNETT Rayson High School The two riders climbed to the summit of the divide and paused to allow their panting mounts to get their wind "Well where do we go from here? comIt seems mighty quiet plained the younger of the two The other looked at his companion with a rather annoyed expression “Zou know that the ranger told us to go to the Israel springs and from there follow their tracks back to the old tree” explained the scowling youth “Say Roy! Look down there Yes right below you Isn't that the springs?” shouted the boy who had ridden several yards away when his cousin started his indignant re- marks He was a carefree youth of medium height brown eyes and light hair His face and hands were becoming red and chapped by the wind that these stories wfe false and I and rain You could tell In a minute that he was not used to this kind of decided that! would1 explore it The night I chose fdr my explora- weather or riding' a horse either tion was very stormy and gave one He rode along as If every move of a weird uneasy feeling The air his mount was torture to him In was moist and damp and dark other words Mr Jerry Dougless was clouds hung low over the city com- a man of leisure He had only come pletely concealing the moon Loud on this boring trip to please his peals ot thunder and flashes of cousin who at this moment was ridlightning bolted from the sky giv- ing up to join him Roy Steele was just the opposite ing ample warning of the approachHe was a man of to his cousin ing storm I stepped from the door of my muscle who lived by what he coujd cozy warm cottage just as the storm earn rather than his cousin's methbroke with all its fury As I hur- ods He measured six feet had blue ried on my way I could see through eyes and black hair that slightly the mist the almost obsfcure out- curled and could be seen now as he I pushed back his hat and spoke — line ot the old deserted-placwas now quite close to it and as I “Jerry!

It was gaining What was I to do? It came on more rapidly Z could not run any longer! I staggered on for a few feet and then collapsed into a dead faint The next thing I remembered was a feeling of something on top of meL "Then my sense returned That awful thing? It was here!

At last I’ve found you Ralph— Ral— ” She stopped abruptly before she had reached him and stared In bewilderment into his face her hands dropping limply to her side His face bore no evidence of recognition of the poor withered old lady and his eyes scanned her with an odd blank expression He raised a bony finger and pointed unstead ily at her “Who is that old woman? Is she ‘Tvs never crazy?” he mumbled seen her before” and with that he dropped his head and laughed crazily to himself One of the uniformed men walked to Mrs Leob's side and quickly guided her to a chair The other led Ralph to a chair just a few feet away and sat down with him "Mrs Leob” began the detective “you must try to understand us Your son has been HI— very 111— for some time and is suffering from amnesia It is merely a condition of the mind which results in the loss of memory We thought that when he saw you you might be that ray of sunshine that he needed to penetrate through his clouded mind and break the bars that have imprisoned his memory It seems as though it will take something more shocking or— ” At this point he noticed that his listener was not paying attention and he followed her steady gaze to where It was resting upon the slowly rising form of her boy He fell silent and watched Carefully cautiously the boy came forward and falling to his knees at his mother’s side he grasped the d brooch in his hand “This — this brooch — I’ve seen it — it’s— it's — it belonged to — to — my mother—” Slowly he raised his eyes to her face They seemed to study and at thtf same time caress each wrinkled line Meifiory suddenly dawned upon him like the sun on a sleeping world "Mother— my Mother" he whispered hoarsely gold-braide- Springtime on the 27750000 “ 1936 ' ' Roy get that lasso and go up the tree I’ll tell you how I captured that grizzly down in Grand canyon” "Why don’t you go after him? I’ll bet he would make mince meat out of you” Roy jokingly came back at him All right smarty Just to show you I can I’ll capture your bear for you” blustered the enraged Jerry As he neared the tree the bear gave a terrifying shriek and poor Jerry collapsed He gulped a couple of times and then quietly suggested to Roy: “It was your Idea and I wouldn’t want to spoil your fun so I’ll let you go up” Roy finally assented after much embarrassment to Jerry As he got on the same limb with the terrified cub he stood with his back to the trunk of the tree and swung his rope The first time he missed but the second caught the little rascal around the neck and as he fought to free himself he lost his balance and fell but he caught himself on some adjacent branches below Roy followed him down and as he pulled the rope the bear jumped from one limb to the next one down until at last he reached the bottom Jerry was standing down below with his mouth gaping at the open and Staring wide-eye- d scene above him "Now JeiTy” Roy cautioned “this Is where you come in at Go get that slicker off from the back of my saddle and when he jumps from the last limb you catch him It’s going to be an awful long drop” "But Roy I can’t catch him What if he should scratch me?” He’s "O K take your chance coming down anyway and I just thought you might like something to hold him with” Roy answered back “Here he comes” “Hey! Hey! Wait a minute! I’ll go get it But keep him up there a little while" Jerry was doing the Highland fling trying to get from under that tree “All right let him come but don’t rush him” Jerry cried up to Roy Roy pulled on the rope and the cub seeing that this was his last chance scampered out to the end of the limb "Crack!" The limb broke and down came Mr Bear right into Jerry’s arms He was a regular bundle of fury as he screeched and struck out at him with all the strength he could muster When Roy got out of the tree and came toJerry’s rescue he and the bear were on tSe’ground (with the bear on top) Roy grabbed the jacket from the ground where Jerry had dropped it and pulled the bear from the tof of him As the sky darkened with the coming of night two triumphant boys rode down the trail that only a short time before had led them on this "little adventure" Crooners By DOROTHY THURGOOD West High School Salt Lake City You can tell them anywhere by their dreamy eyes top hats and that soulful smile on their lips and Their faces are smooth-shave- n their skins are like flower petals This Is not a description of a figure in one of Da Vinci’s paintings or even a new victim of that gamin archer Dan Cupid but one of those animals that infest our land of the free— crooners Girls Invariably think crooners are “just too too divine" or “so romantic when they sing a love song” Even such acclaimed opera stars as Mr Tibbett who receives thunder ous applause from New York's aristocratic Four Hundred has to "take a back teat” to these crooners in the eyes of the general public My sister of my own flesh and blood sits with her ear glued to the radio every time one of these freaks of nature is on the air After his program she lavishly emits complimentary adjectives on his wonderful program and the gorgeous singing by His Majesty the Crooner Even my unsympathetic silence does not dampen Tier ardor Then she tells me “how she envies his wife” or "how she felt he was singing to her alone when he sarfg Wished on the Moon' " These pub- lie enemies also invade the realm of the movies and every time one of their new cinema escapades comes to town she will go without candy for a week so that she will have enough money to see it Not me!

Without any warning I went skidding out into space I must have gotten my Instructions a bit twisted for instead of leaning forward I leaned backward With a frightened lunge I remedied this fault Then I landed and again I did the wrong thing I sat down Now skis were never meant to be toboggans and I found that I couldn’t guide them from & sitting position I soon found my- - ff By ELLEN MARKS Jordan High School “Now students” Mr Smith began "I want' you to keep alert and see how many biological insects and plants you can see Each one of you bring something back to class” Most of the tenth grade biology class were quite ignorant of the biological universe It was a balmy summer morning that we chose to go on our field trip We had all been eagerly anticipating the event and we started out In high spirits Mr Smith stopped from time to time among tho brush and shrubbery to explain the habits environments and life cycles of the insects and plants we found Have you ever felt the urge to be different”? Well that’s how I felt on this particular day I wanted to make thia a memorable day I wanted to make my claaa praise and envy me I planned to gather an attractive assortment of leaves and vines for a beautiful bouquet to grace Mr Smith’s dignified desk self cavorting madly down the hill my skis gyrating like the needle of a compas In an unsteady hand When I stopped I had to go into many contortions to untangle myself As I was picking up the pieces I vowed verbally that I would never do it again But I knew that wasn’t the truth for soon I was at it again I often wonder what it is that prompts young idiots to throw themselves off a mountain- - side With a hickory ntlck strapped to each foot V manufacturer largest v n WOT J OTwOTv’ WHIMg OTfOT' rv-- ’ Authorized IRON FIREMAN jJ room ot - OTWOT JA A’ By RUTH FELT School Salt Lake City East High Ualmast indefinable It an activity from which one gains a feeling of exhilaration of joy of satisfaction The power to control something whether it is a ball skates an animal skis or just one’s a body breeds a happiness which can be obtained no other way There are a variety of sports to participate In It matters little what form of sport one engages in or how proficient he may be It is the spirit of it that counts that attempt to conquer Skiing Is only one sport of many but I find that I can gain the most enjoyment from it Skiing is my favorite sport I’ll admit Tm very clumsy I find It difficult to con-trthe long unwieldy boards at the ends of my legs My attempts to imitate the interesting pattern made by my more accomplished friends as they climb the hill “herringbone fashion” are often very comical But some day I will make a perfect pattern It Is a very short ride down the hill considering the effort It takes to reach the top but Into that short ride are packed the thrill of speed the feeling of power as one forces the very air to give way before that driving force the joy of exhilaration from the mountain air At the bottom I turn to the challenging hill This Is A sport ol "Gracious child what on earth are you doing?” cried Mr Smith Grabbing a pole from the ground he knocked my precious leaves from my itching arms I heard him almost shout “Poison ivy!" Theh he gave me my first bath with my clothes on Well a grim but frightened Mr Smith escorted me home I had planned to make him happy by placing my vines upon his desk Mother was shocked when she saw my swollen face I spent the rest of the week confined within the four walls of my bedroom sans everything except an aching burning bndv L?
