I saw a Kingfisher sitting on a pole. All of a sudden he went into the water. He came up with a fish about three inches long. I followed him to his home. It was a hole. I took a peep. I saw him feeding five little baby birds. Joe Knutson, The Dove When my mother was ten years old she found a baby dove on the ground. She picked him up and carriéd him into the house. He be- came her pet. He used to peck at her toes when it was time to get up. He used to get on her should- ers when she was eating. He would go off and come back. One time he was off for three days, but he came back. She had him for three years and then he died. Joan Lowe. About My Parrot My parrot says everything. One day my father was sitting in the yard when a lady was pass- ing by. Polly, my parrot was up in a tree. Polly said, “Hello.” The lady turned around. My Polly said “Hello” again. The lady turn- ed around and looked at my father again. When the lady was out of sight my father went in the house and told my mother and my mother told me. Mary Herrick. Mrs, Bass’ Fifth Grade Our May Day queen was Rachel Diaz and the king was Pat Fro- hock. The runner-ups were Lanny Harris, Johnny Sellers, Oswaldo Alfonso, Terry Banks, Nancy Watson, Armando Guitterez, Philip Spencer, Jeannie Sanchez, Linda Brantley, and Jesus Es- pinosa. Mr. Miriam crowned the King and Queen. The first grade gave a march. The second grade gave a milk HlThe third, grade.weund the Maypole. The fourth grade pre- sented a Mexican dance and the Virginia Reel. The fifth grade gave calisthenics. After the festival, there was a dinner served in the’hall. All were welcome. Adults 95¢ and children 50c. They served baked ham, baked beans, potato salad, cole slaw, coffee or cold drinks, cake or pié extra. They showed a ten minute movie called “Mary Had A Little Lamb.” Also “Woody Wood- pecker” and “Old Times Story.” They sold hot-dogs and cold drinks and candy on the school ground. Degtoff's Sixth Grade Members of Mrs. Degtoff’s sixth grade who play in the Little League are Pat Frohock, who plays third base on the Rotary team, and Danny Oropeza who is center fielder on the Kiwanis team, Two of our boys are mem- bers of the Junior Band. Nolan Drudge plays tenor saxophone, and Richard Anit, clarinet. Our class likes to go together to the beach after school to swim. We help. publish the school newspaper by selling ads and doing the printing. We are writ- ing some stories to print in a class magazine. Richard Anti. Reporter. MUSIC DEPARTMENT Mrs. Logan, Teacher Usually each teacher uses one or more songs on her assembly program, but not often for May Day. This year the second grades sang as they danced and it went very well. The chorus festival to be Park on Sunday, plans to sing at a held in Bayview May 6, at 4:30 p. m. They will sing “All in the April Evening” and Mozarts “Alleluia.” Then the elementary school chor- |! uses will combine to sing “Where My Caravan Has Rested,” and “Chiapanecas.” THE PURPOSE OF THE LIBRARY The library is very essential to our school. It gives the children the advantage of reading many kinds of books that they wouldn't otherwise have known about. This is especially valuable to those boys and girls who like to read a lot, like myself. I can recommend quite a few books I liked, especially “The Mystery of the Secret Drawer.” I like mystery stories, but I also like books telling us of famous peo- ple. We have a very good li- brarian who tells us of interest- ing books and helps us find books we might like.

Mary Faye Whitmarsh, Reporter. Miss Nihoul’s Third Grade Miss Nihoul’s third grade had charge of our chapel program last Friday. In commemoration of May: Day as Health Day for chil- dren, the pupils presented a play, “The Land of Health.” It wa in two scenes and showed what! we must all do to be healthy people. , Seout News The Scout Troop No. 253, 1 Th i feat | under the nip of Scout- e cast was composed of: : Maat M H wn master Tony Martinez and Junior Mother—Mary Huddle; j Assistant Scoutmaster Tom Cor- Tom—Onelio Perez; King—Bowman Cutter; Page—Jerry Torano; Heralc—Charles Payson; Sunshine—Nancy Roberts; Fresh Air—Milton Esquinaldo; Exercise Family—Jack Weech, John Annez, Walter Munyon and George Keen; Sleep—Jackie Roberts.

The scenery was made and arranged by the members of the class. Some of them even helped make the costumes. The property len who" arranged the scenery between scenes were Pack Free- man, Louis Cuervo and Gerald Semler. The announcer for the entire program was Richard Senderling. He very ably read our Bible story and led the devotional as well as acting as master of cere- monies for the play. Boy Scout Camp Jackson Lee Sawyer on Spanish Harbor Key. The theme for this camp was fun! Everyone enjoyed swimming, hiking, cooking other out-of-doors games. quirements for advancement were passed by the scouts. The hiking merit badge was completed by two scouts. The difference in the quantity of mosquitoes that the two ponds and the canal joining the two ponds have been and | filled in with marl and the breed. ing place for mosquitoes has been eliminated. The mosquitoes on the island are blown over there by the wind from Big Pine Key. It seems if all the breeding ponds could be filled in or drained that mos- quitoes on the Keys could be eliminated altogether. Grateful thanks go to C. J. Cor nell and Edward Ciesinski for transportation to camp. Scouts at tending this camp were: Rene Alvarez, Raymond Bazo, Matt Brown, Ronald Ciesinski, Tommy U. S.

All winter it Not }a green thing showed on it, not | even one leaf. Dry pods hung from its branches and made a pleasant rustling sound in the breeze. About three weeks ago we no- ticed some tiny spots of green which grew into fern-like leaves. Then some small green ‘berries’ appeared. Last wéek many of these ‘berries’ opened into beau- tiful 1:ed-orange flowers. This tree and the one in Tru- man School yard seemed to be the first ones to bloom in Key ; West They are so lovely it makes us happy just to look at them. | Our teacher put up some pic- } tures of Poincianas on the bulletin board. She told us they were called Pilgrim petals because they ; had to travel to get here. Some- | one brought a tree from Madagas- ‘car and by planting seeds we ‘now have hundreds of these trees }on our island. Richard brought some seeds tc ishow the class and Sandra ; brought a flower. Our teacher | drew one on the board and we | ‘each drew one and colored it. We }saw that it had five small petals 'and five large ones. One of the big petals has white and red and yellow on it. The other four are alike. The flowers grow in clus- | ters. There may be 30 flowers in | one cluster. We saw a picture of Poinciana | trees in Egypt, the land of Moses and Joseph of Bible days.

C. Adell, for contributions from receipts of the annual Navy Charity Carnival, held here last February. Allan Hampton, the Key West chapter of the American Red Cross and Jeff Knight, Jr., fund chairman, ex- tended their “sincere apprecia- tion to you and those in your command for your generous con- chairman of j tribution of $4000.00 to our 1951 fund campaign. This donation will assist the Chapter in carry- ing on their work in the com- munity for another year.” Mrs. Sam Toth, president of the Girl Scout Leaders Associa- tion expressed the gratitude of that organization for a contribu- tion of $300 to the Key West Girt Scout Fund. “We intend to use it,” she wrote, “for equipment to permit the Girl Scouts to partici-+ pate more often in outdoor camp- ing and activities of that na- ture.” A total of $24,200 was distri- buted to local and national chari- ties from receipts of the 1951 carnival. June and July and when we see the flowers begin to open we know vacation time is almost here. Some other names for the Poinciana are Flame Vine and Royal Poinciana. Royal is a good name for they are beautiful enough to belong to kings and queens. But all of us can enjoy them for they make our streets look like fairy land.
