Show school naus Roosevelt Elementary School Mr. and Mrs. Blaine's room gathers and writes the school news for the Roosevelt Standard every weeki This week Elaine Anderton and Jean Todd are the reporters. Every Friday in our Language class we have creative writing. This week we wrote stories. There were so many good ones that it was hard to choose two for the paper. Here are the two that were chosen: SCHOOL OR FISHING The next day was school. Bob and Jim Brown just hated to go to school, so that night they thought they wouldn't go. "We could go to town," said Bob. "But we wouldn't want to stay in town all day," Jim said. "We could go to the woods," said Bob again. "What would we do in the wood, though?" "We could go fishing," said Bob. "Okay," Jim said. "We will go to the woods and fish." Bob was just going to say another word, but he was asleep. The next morning the two boys got their clothes and got their fishing poles, some worms, a lunch and everything they would need to go fishing. When they were through with their breakfast, they said1, "Good bye" to their mother and were off. When they got to the woods, they built a hut of sticks and leaves. Then they went to the pond to fish. "What if we catch some fish?" asked Jim. "Well, that won't matter," said Bob. "But what will mother say?" said Jim. "If we catch some fish, she will know we have been fishing!" fish-ing!" "We'll just tell her we saw some fish on the road," said Bob, "and we picked them up and brought them home." When they went to their hut at noon to eat their lunch, they1 had two fish. The rest of the day they fished. When they went home that night, they had four fish. Their mother asked them why they were so late. "The teacher held us in," said Jim. To change the subject Bob said, "Mother, look. We found these on the road in a sack." Mother looked at the fish. Then she looked at the dirty little boys and again at their fish. That night two little boys went to bed with very sore bottoms, and ever after that, they went to school. By' Elaine Anderton, 5th Grade THE HOPELESS HOSTESS CAKE Betty Rust was a girl in high school. She had many friends and was good in her school work. The only thing that was worrying her was that she had a terrible memory. mem-ory. There was going to be a contest con-test at school. The girl who could make the best hostess cake could have a year at the BYU. Betty wished so much that she could win! The problem was now if she could only remember the recipe without her recipe card. The days went on, and finally the day of the contest came. Who was going to be the lucky one? Would it be Martha Addams, Jane Brown? Would it be Margaret Ward, Maybe it would be Mary Carlson, As she walked to school, these things went through Betty's mind. Finally she came to the school house. Everyone was happy She didn't know why she was sad. She hadn't lost yet. When she entered her Math class, all the girls were excited. Jane said, "I have the best recipe you ever saw. It's my Aunt Janny's." All morning long Betty was day dreaming. Mr. Johnson asked her questions time and time again. She would answer with what she was dreaming which made veryone laugh. That only woke her up for a little while. Finally the time came for the contest. Mrs. Brinker, the Home Economics teacher, gave each girl her turn at cooking. At last it came Betty's turn. She put in her cup of sugar and two cups of flour and a teaspoon of salt, but she foreot the shortening. When Betty was through, Mrs. Brinker tasted the batter. It was terrible. Mrs. Brinker said, "You're through!" While the other girls were cleaning up the mess and Mrs. Brinker was judging, Betty, hurried and stirred up some more" batter. Then she went over to the teacher. teach-er. She shook as she gave the teacher the cake. Mrs. Brinker took it without a word. When she got through judging, she stood up to announce who the winner was. "Betty Rust is the winner," she said "not because her hostess cake is the best, but because she is such a good sport, and when she fails, she always tries again."
