CHAPTER 1]
A Newcomer

by David Lanphear

Away at in the middle of nowhere, far far away
from civilization was a dorm school. One day Mr. Her-
man was teaching his children and a girl walked in, All
of the kids looked at her, she was staring at Mary. All
of the kids thought she didn’t look to bad. Mr. Herman
said ‘‘Hello, who are you?” “I am Violet and I have
come to stay in this class.”’ “Oo-a-er-well have a seat we
will get you a desk in the morning.” Violet went and
sat beside Mary. After school they went to their rooms.

_Violet’s was beside Mary’s. In the morning Violet gave

Mr. Herman some flowers, he turned red. “Thank you”’
he said. Eventhough he does not like flowers he liked
these ones. When Mr, Herman was teaching math, Vio-
let was not paying any attention, she was looking a-
round. Mr. Herman quietly tiptoed up to her and pated
her back that instant she spun around and hit him in
the face and he fell back into Joe and they ran into the
wall. “I am very sorry’’ she said as Joe and Mr. Herman
slowly got up. “Are you O.K.” “Yes, I'm O.K. but I
don’t now about Joe. I squashed him when I sat on
him” After that she was the smartest one in the school.

CHAPTER 2

Beware
by Janice Joseph
That night when all the children had to go to bed
Violet had nowhere to sleep so she told Miss Scarlet.
Miss Scarlet told Mary to share her dorm room with.
Violet. When Mary and Violet got into bed, Violet told
Mary why she had to move here. Mary got bored and
said, “‘Lets talk about freaky things, like people getting
their heads chopped off.”’ Violet said “Sure!” and start.
ed telling Mary about haunted things. Mary fell asleep.
That night about 2:00 in the morning someone got up
and went into Mr. Herman’s class. In the morning Vio-
let walked into Mr. Hermans class to get ready. When
she got there Mr. Herman was standing with his eyes
closed. Violet looked around she saw signs saying be-
ware all over. There was one sign that said look on the
teachers desk. Violet looked and screamed, there was
a snake in a jar. Mr. Pickelo heard the noise. Mr. Pick-
elo saw the snake and took it away. The day ended,
what a day!

THE HAUNTED SCHOOL
(a novel by Grade 4 students)

CHAPTER 3
Trapped
, by Jennifer Brocklebank
It was 9:00. Many was sent upstairs to get ready
for bed. She was about to walk into the bathroom
when she remembered it was flooded.She went into her
dorm to get her rubbers and toothbrush. Then went
and brushed her teeth. ‘I can’t change in here” she
told herself. So she changed in the closet in her dorm
room. Just as she was about to get out she accidentally
pressed a button, and the floor fell out from under her.
“Help!”’ Mary screamed. Just then she hit the floor
with her rear end. She jumped up and saw a shadow.
She looked all around but could find nothing. From be-
hind a corner a hand reached out and covered Mary’s
mouth, The mysterious person thrust Mary into the
last cell and left.

CHAPTER 4
_ Runaway
by Emma Crawford

It was 9 o'clock in the evening. All the children

were sent to bed for the night. The kids obediently
went. That day was sports day and even the teachers
went to bed early, The night was silent except the snor-
ing of Miss Walker. Suddenly, the snoring stopped.
There were footsteps and the slamming of the front
door. This slam awoke Cathy and she started screaming
She ran and awoke Miss Prikit “Was anyone supposed
to leave?” asked Cathy.

“T don’t know” replied Miss Pricket. “‘We’d better
ask Mr. Picallo”. They knoked on his bedroom door.
“Mr. Picallo, Oh Mr. Picallo!! Open up!” “Cooome iin”’
replied the tired principal. “Was anyone supposed to
leave?” asked Cathy. ‘Ooo nooo”’ replied Mr. Picky, as
the kids called him. “Why?” Cathy then said “We
heard the front door slam.” “Nonsense!”’ yelled Mr. Pic
allo. “It was a dream, I bet. Now go to bed.” This
haunted Miss Pricket for about an hour. She quietly
got dressed and slipped out the front door. She walked
for hours and hours and then fell into a hole. She yel-
led for help. Along came Miss Walker. Miss Pricket
took her back and Mr, Pieallo gave her a D.T. for 3
hours.

CHAPTER 5
Another Strange Person
by Sian Jones
News traveled around the school fast. A detective
was coming. Everyone hoped the mystery would ve sol-
ved. The detective was a scrawny looking man covered

in a brown coat, brown hat, brown pants and tiny
brown shoes. He was a young nervous looking detective
Detective Brown was his name. Detective Brown never
“spoke to any of the kids that day, he just asked Mr.
Piccolo for a map of the school building and dorms.
The kids were puzzled, they thought he would investi-
gate right away. By the end of the week three more de-
tectives came claiming to be officers of Detective
Brown. It was not until 3 weeks later that the detective
started asking questions how old was Mary? What was
she like? Most of all where was Mary’s parents? Know
one knew the answer to this question, except Mr. Pic-
colo who had gone to the city to get away from the
excitment for a week or so. Detective Brown didn’t
seem to have done much work but kids had seen him a-
round the school. Violet seemed very uneasy that
week and eager for the school year to end!

CHAPTER 6
The Mystery is Solved
by Tracy Walker

Everyone went to bed early that night. They were
all eager for the school year to end. They also wanted
the mystery to be solved. In the morning the kids filed
into the room very quietly and slowly.

Detective Brown was still searching for clues but
had found none, Late in the afternoon Detective
Brown walked into the class room. He talked to Mr.

Herman for about 5 minutes. Mr: Herman seemed glad.

Detective Brown walked out of the room. Mr. Herman
said, “Mary has been found. She is in the hospital
1000 miles from here. She was found two days ago.”
Carrie asked, “When will she be back?’’ Mr. Herman
said in about a week. The class was overjoyed, all ex-
cept Violet. Mr. Herman asked her why. Violet said
that she was just sad because Mary was in the hospital.

Mr. Herman said that she had been found in the cellar.

The next day when Mr. Piccolo found out he told
Detective Brown that he could go home. But the de-
tective said he had more work to do to.

The next morning the detective found a work shop
down in the cellar. Mr. Piccolo was overjoyed. Mr. Pic-
colo wanted to phone Mary’s parents but Detective
said “No!” They are to far away and it would cost to
much, but he would see her parents when he left. That
night when everyone was in bed, Detective Brown
heard something , he came out of his dorm and saw
Violet outside of her dorm. She was headed toward the
cellar! The next day Detective Brown told Mr. Piccolo
that the mystery was solved. Violet was the villain.

MAJOR REDUCTIONS IN SCHOOL
BOARD’S EXPENDITURES

In a recent telex message Education Minis-~

ter Brian Smith advised that School Boards
must closely examine budgets and produce an

expenditure reduction plan by September 15th.

“I am advising all concerned by telex today
of what is expected of them following the re-
straint program announced by Premier Bennett
on Tuesday,” said Mr. Smith. “I am also re-
minding the boards that it was their wish, ex-
pressed to the Premier and myself last week,
that they be allowed to plan their own reduc-
tions after the necessary figure was supplied.”

Education

WHAT’S BEEN HAPPENING DURING THE
~ SUMMER?

Dick Chambers, Stikine’s Assistant Super-
intendent, spent a week at Seattle Pacific Univ-
ersity polishing his teacher supervision skills.
He goes pale if anyone mentions the view from
the space needle.

Don Best, Sec.-Treas. of School Board

The new Secretary-Treasurer, Don Best, is
esconced (that’s a good word) in the District
Administration office.. Last Wednesday’s snow
was sufficient to convince that anything is pos-
sible in Cassiar.

If you have forty minutes to spare, ask the
superintendent about the whole lamb which
his friends roasted on a spit for lunch on the
last Saturday of his excursion Down Under. As
a filler, he will tell you about the Parramatla—
Newtown Rugby game.

°Twas Cassiar Resources to the rescue. The
district is indebted to the Company for its

continuation of the new school project. Man-

co-operated magnificently to ensure a good

start and no delays. Cassiar also donated the
school site — a great gesture.
