I r f l .1 i I I I '" 6 WHAT BOYS are found everywhere--Dn top of, underneath, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around, or jumping to. Mothers love them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers tolerate them, adults ignore them, and Heaven protects them. A boy is Truth with dirt on its face, Beauty with a cut on its finger, Wisdom with bubble gum in its hair, and the Hope of the future with a frog in its pocket. When you are busy, a boy is an inconsiderate, bothersome, intruding jangle of noise. When you want him to make a good impression, his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a savage, sadistic, jungle creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it. Top of Page: Donald S.

He likes ice cream, knives, saws, Christmas, comic books, the boy across the street, woods, water (in its natural ha,bitat) , large animals, Dad, trains, Saturday mornings, and fire engines. He is not much for Sunday School, com. pany, schools, books without pictures, music lessons, neckties, barbers, girls, overcoats, adults or bedtime.
