Drop a Pebble In The Water Drop a pebble in the water: just a splash, and it is But there's half-a-hundred ripples gone; circling on and on andon, Spreading, spreading from the center, flowing in out to the sea. And there is no way of telling where the end is going to be. Drop a word of cheer kindness: just a flash and it is But there's hundred gone; ripples circling on and on and on, Bearing hope and joy and comfort on each splashing, washing wave Till you wouldn't believe the volume of the one kind word you gave. But a there's word of cheer and kindness: in a minute for forget; Drop 4T And gladness still a-swelling, and there's joy a-circling yet, you've rolled a wave of comfort whose sweet music Over miles and miles of water just can be heard by dropping one kind word.

This poem by James W. Foley contains How many times have our days been very meaningful message. a brightened up just because someone kind was considerate and gave us a cheerful word and thoughtful, or two? By being to the lives of others we will reward and enrich ourselves and bring joy around us. R. J.

Editor REV. GRUBER SPEAKS Rev. Gruber of the Albia E.U.B. church spoke to the world history classes and also showed slides. Rev.

Gruber and his family lived in England for one year and also tour. ed Europe. The classes were told that the people in Europe are like the American people basically but their habits are different. One notic-. able policemen difference is that the English do not carry guns but use "billieclubs." Most of the Eng.

lish homes are made out of stone. While Rev. Gruber was in Eng. land he and his family lived large stone house which was shared with two other families. Many beautiful stone fences are found in the country.

Some of them were actually built by th Romans. Slides were also shown of the Gruber family's trip to Europe. They toured the beautiful Swiss Alps as well as many other countries. The said that many small Dutch children actually do wear wooden shoes! In one Europe cemetery there were so many bodies that six feet dirt had to be brought in and covered over the land, and more people are buried here! The slides were very interesting and I'm sure that everyone would like to thank Rev. Gruber.

In boys P.E. we did regular exertcises which were: 60 jumping jacks, 15 set-ups, the leg lift, and 50 grasshoppers. When we finished these exercises, we each tried to do at least 8 pull-ups. Next we numbered off in a 1-2-1-2 fashion until we were divided into two teams to play kick ball. To start the game, two players one from each team, stand in the center of the floor and touch their toes three times.

Then they kick the ball to the opposite end of the floor and hit the wall. Hands could nut be used. When someone violated the rule, a free kick was given to the other team. One person kicks the ball and tries to hit the opposite wall while the other team stands around the wall to prevent its touching the wall. When the ball touches the the the the the the the the the wall, a point is scored.

We're sorry that we haven't written sooner, but we have been busy observing these earthlings and keeping hidden.

In our studies on Mars, we were always taught that these creatures were relatively kind and humane. This is definitely not so! It was relatively quiet, one afternoon and we crept our hiding places. All of a sudden, many of these creatures came noisily to the end of this room. It is a large room with tables large stools. Out of curiosity we decided to watch.

It nearly proved to be fatal. These cruel, cruel animals took helpless little animals and started to cut them up! It was all we could do to stay; because with our sensitive ears, we could hear the poor victims screaming! These inhuman things said, "I like dissecting" or "Gee, this is It was too much. We started to leave but someone started to pick up 007 and said, "Look at that funny kid," but 007 used his disappearing mechanisms to disappear, and it proved to be a close call! Some of these creatures think that they are superior. We were observing a large male. He definitely is superior in his weight and he has FOR The Bible Giving thanks always for all things-(Eph.

5:20) A child can be taught to say "thank you," for what in done for him, but to learn to be truly thankful is a lesson of the heart, of the spirit, of the whole man. Praise, appreciation, gratitude, blessinge can change and transform the heart, heal the body, erase old hurts, bring joy to us all and give real meaning and beauty to every day. Let your first awakening thought be, "Thank you, God." AN extremely loud mouth! Continually this creature exhibits his supperiority by shouting at small helpless, quiet females! Take care of yourself, and don't let 33 tear down any more buildings, you're to spoil the young one. 007 and 86 WE HAD AN ASSEMBLY The Moravia students and faculty were privileged to have as an assembly program Tuesday, March 8, Mr. Dale Doore and one of his interesting educational travel logues.

Mr. Doore took us on a breathtaking trip to the enchanted island of Vancouver via film. He started at one end of the island and traveled across it. We saw parks with animals, who came near for a handout, logging camps that showed how trees are cut and conveyed to the saw and paper mills, and different fishing areas where we saw how they whales. skinned and cut up large After these whales are skinned, the skin is used for fertilizer and the meat is sent to Japan.

These are only a few of the many sights we viewed. The last of the interesting events of the film showed Mr. Doore scaling, smoking, and canning the large salmon he had caught. When the film came to a close, we all returned to our sixth period classes. Francine BE A BOOKWORM The bulletin board in the library is very, clever this month; the theme is "Be a Bookworm." To carry out this theme, a worm has been made of brown yarn and is holding a book in his hands.

Patrotism has also been shown by the border of red, white, and blue. This is a cute idea. The fact is very true; I think more of us need to be bookworms, not only with library books but also with our subjects. Jani BOOKKEEPING Work at the end of the fiscal period has been our main topic in bookkeeping for several days. Now we are starting a new chapter which deals with using a cash register.

In where the chapter just completed, we were assigned to close for the Knight Lumber made Company, out we work balanced accounts, a sheet, prepared an income statement and a balance sheet, entered adjusting and closing entries in the combination journal, ruled the accounts, and finally, prepared a post closing trial balance. Now the cash register is our main concern and we will learn how to use it and record sales made with it. Sounds like work and "possibly" fun!
