SILVER
Barbara Joan Irwin, daughter of Mr, and Mrs.
Robert Irwin, Rattenbury Street East, Clinton, won
the silver dollar essay contest. This contest is con-
ducted annually by Mrs. J. Douglas Thorndike, Eng-
lish teacher at Clinton Public ublic School. Following is
the winning story.
A DREAM COME TRUE
Wlvy was 1 ambling 'alon'g 4th
Avenue at three o c k all
that
A e loc
sunny afternoon in May? As
I am the only person who can
truthfully answer that question,
I shall proceed to explain.
I could make many plausible
excuses. For example, I might
say that if Jimmy "Peanuts,"
Planter had not taunted me
about not ;being smart enough
to get any history ,assignment
done I would not have dreamed
of skipping •afternoon clauses
at Dover High School. Certain-
ly that did start same of my
crooked ,thinking. Angrily I re-
taliated by saying, who has
nothing better to do than hist-
ory assignments? I'm going 'to
quit school". Did I mean, it?
Sufficient to say I ,did skip cl-
asses, and thereby hangs an
unusual tale.
My sudden freedom was not
as sweet as I had anticipated.
First, it was no fun: to while
away ani afternoon ail by my-
self. For a long hour I sat on
a grassy knoll above the paper -
mill and watched the factory
fire -brigade take part in their
weekly drill. "Would I like to
work in the mill," I asked my-
self. The answer was a incisive
"Na" "What will happen to
me if I do quit school?" As
usual fear of the unknown cur-
ved my impetuous thoughts.
"Do I really want to leave
school, my ,pals, the recreation
activities? What about the pl-
ans and dreams I have for
college?" Those thoughts would
not leave me.
Languidly I retraced my st-
eps, but scarcely ktrew just
where I was going. 1 could not
go home at 'three o'clock. Sud-
denly. I remembered that I had
promised to do an errand for
my mother, across the town on
14th Street. My destination was
a pleasant little white cottage
behind the university. In fancy
I •could see the shabby, but
comfortable living room, and
its occupants. A white-haired
little lady would be sewing by
the west window. Near her in
a wheel -chair, her husband,
Doctor 'Temple, would be read-
ing. Already I wondered how I
could meet his clear gray eyes
if .he were to ask me about
my studies. As I resolutely
trudged :along I thought :about
Doctor Temple who was be-
loved by everyone. He had been
a brilliant professor until an
insidious! .illness forced his
early retirement. The light be-
hind the brow was shill bright,
and he welcomed young and
old to sit :and talk with him
to help pass hours that other-
wise would be lonely.
Although all that was twenty
years ago, I still bless the
good fortune ;that guided my
footsteps on that May after-
noon.
As I began my so fax and
yet so near trek across town,
my head began to swim with
excuses for being absent from
afternnloon classes and I wand-
ered aannlessly, up one street
and down the next in order to
•avoid those clear gray eyes gas'
long as was possible. I could
not kid myself. Doctor Temple
was as crafty as a fox, and
everyone knew it ,aril too well.
Had he not been a teaches for
forty long years and naught
hundreds of pupils that at one
time or other had: had problems
similar to mine? I guess you
might say he was en old crony
at this sort of thing for it was
a well-known tact, he was! To
be honest with myself I had
to 'admit that I should be no
more alnicoof 4 Tem-
ple
r -
m
ple than I should be of my
own shadow. This I concluded
quite sincerely and as my mind
began to clear slightly any pace
began to quicken.. However,
doubt still lingered in the bank
of any Mind, and out of pure
embarrassment for being in
such to predicament I 'turned
the next corner, down Wimble
Street, on purpose, in order to
avoid Jenny "Pigtails" Miller's
house, the biggest tattler of all
tatteltails. There was no doubt
about it that Jenny would just
love to get me into a, big fat
meiss with the highschool tprin-
cipal. Atter all, hadn't we been
senseless rivals ever since early
childhood?
On •through. town I strolled
at Ieisure, past the now vacant
baseball park, It'he Saturday
meeting place of all the gang,
on across the railway tracks
and through the old' freight -car
stock yard now filled solid witch.
useless and ;dilapidated old en-
gines and box cars.
Two more blocks to go! My
heart beat wildly and. I felt
as if my throat would wither,
it felt so dry. It is a very dif-
ficult thing to tell yourself not
to worry, but I forced the task
upon myself. Why was Iso
frightened? Doctor Temple was
my friend'. Sure, sure, he was
my friend.
There it was! Just around the
corner! Up to the quaint little
cottage I strode, mustering all
the courage I could accumulate.
Simultaneously with my gentle
but firm knock upon the door,
a pleasant voice from within
bade me enter.
"Well, I'll be! Johnny my
boy, come in, come in!" was
my hearty welcome as I Pres-
ently
reyently entered 'the tiny but snug
and comfor.ta le living room.
b g.
"What a pleasant surprise to
see you again faddy. What
brings you to my humble dwel-
ling on such a beautiful day as
this and during school hours
too if I am correct?"
"Well, I--a---,well you see sir
-I mean -urn -I came to pick
up that package mother left
here the other clay," I finally
managed to stutter as my trep1,.
"Now, now, my boy, you
needn't ,be frightened of me,"
the professor assured me sym-
"I was once a lad
of e• ighteen, too, don't forget.
I had problems of my own,
jest•.like you. Sit down Johnny
make yourself at home, and
we'll have a little chat about
it while Nellie fixes a glass
of lemonade and a tray of fr-
eshly baked cookies."
"Oh, you reallly don't need (to
bother Ma'am.. I really should-
n't be here anyway. I -
"Nonsense!" she exclaimed,
"you are a guest an this, house
and are to be .treated ;as such."
"Well if you insist," I stam-
mered 'apologetically, and at
this she bustled off in a flurry
of skirts to !attend to her duty
at hand.
"Now Johnlniy, tell me every-
thing, from beginning to end,"
the professor continued'.
"I guess that would be the
best thing to do, since you have
started me on the subject," I
remarked, "but it really isn't
anything."
'1 can see it in your eyes
son. It's a lot worse than; you
make it out to be. Feel free
to speak your mind and then
maybe I can help you."
With this I settled back to
relate the tale of my past es-
capades: of Peanuts teasing me

ESSAY
Contest
because 1 had not finished any
history assignment, of my
crooked thgniking that eveay-
bodiY anti everything was a-
gainst ene and that .h4story was
the most horrid subject inI the
whole world, of my marvellous
plan to quit school and of how
my brilliant scheme had pr-
oved to be quite a failure as
to what I had so carefully Plan-
ned.
7Pan, my conclusion, noticed
a very thoughtful expression
spread 'across the face of the
professor and were it not for
the polite interruption of his
wife I yarn, sure I would have
melted where 1 sat under the
pensive gaze of Doctor Temple.
"Ali, the refreshments, ttihalnik
you kindly my dear," the prof-
essor spoke up after his start-
led awakening from the land of
fancy. "Now tell me Johnny,"
the professor continued, "you
don't really want to quit school
do you?"
"No sir," I replied, "I really
and truly don't. I had so many
wonderful dreams for becorning
alnt archaelogist just like you.
You see I have a great love
for adventure, Elver since I was
just a boy I had an unbeliev-
ably strong wish to find new
things and explore new places."
"You know my boy, your sine
cerity has captured my inter-
est," the doctor confessed.
"I don't understand sir," I
stammered.
"Let me explain then," re-
plied the prorfess'or. "In my tr-
avels during my recent years
I have explored :countless num-
bers of ancient tombs 1 the
vast deserts' of Egypt through
which I have been very foriun-
at'e 1 finding priceless relics
very dear to me. Not because
of their worth 1 the form of
money da I prize them, but
because of the fact that I spent
years 1 searrchilrtg for them.,
before I came back home to
teach :archaeology here et the
un,iversiftiy. Those relics mean
everything to me now, my boy.
Everything I have ever worked
to accomplish since my travels
to Egypt is to 'complete my col-
lection or have someone com-
plete it for me before I die,
I have searched near and Saar
for someone with such cape -
hinting, someone exactly like
you, Could you, would you pos-
sibly consider this proposition
I lay before you?"
For a moment I sat in stun-
ned silence as if petrified. Could
this be true? Was I dreaming?
No, no! This was the oppor-
tunity I had been waiting for,
I had longed for.
"Yes, yes, oh, yes," I exclaim-
ed, and I grasped the idea .that
maybe my life long dream
could possibly become a reality.
For me. this was the opening
of a new door lire life. From that.
moment ars I set my life upon
the task .I had sworn to fulfil.
I returned art once to complete
my studies at Dover High and
never more disliked the thought
of history assignments. Insttead,
I borrowed countless numbers
of books from .Doctor Temple
and from the town library on
ancient Egyptian history 1 or-
der to help me 1 my studies
and put me one step ahead to-
ward the goal I hoped to reach.
When graduation came I passed
with "flying colours" and con-
tinued an through enough
years of university to fulfill my
obligation tamed the professor.
I wasted no time 1 flying to
Cairo, Egypt and began my
search far the priceless relics,
but 'by the time the proper
tomb had been relocated our
time was running out. Doctor
Temple had not much time to
live and as this thought haunt-
ed my mind daily I_ put forth

Pepper Family
Reunion Staged
At Lions Park
The annual reunion of the
Pepper faanily was held •at Sea -
forth Lime Park on June 1.7.
There was :ani attendance of 108.
After an enjoyable program
Of spoarte, officers were elated:
President, William, Pepper; see-
retaay-treasurer, Mr. 'anal Mrs,
Alden Oriole sports committee,
Mr, and Mr's. Norman Pepper
and Mr. and Mrs. Walter Pep-
per; lunch committee, Mr, and
Mrs. Austin Matheson, Mr. :and
Mrs. Cliff Pepper and 'Mr. ,and
a redoub'le'd effort ixl search of
the long -lost Egyptian, relies.
Without too much diffieulty the
colle tigni was finished within a
considerably short: period of
time and I hurried home to the
overjoyed professor.
Upon viewing the completed
masterpiece, Doctor Temple had
but ,a few words to say to me
for he was weak and tired and
utterly exhausted because of
the long hard strain on his
over-worked body.
"Young man," he said, "you
have fulfilled your promise
well. Take this collection as a
token of sincere appreciation
and! use it wisely in the prof-
essioru you have chosen."
Thus it was there on that
sunny afternoon in May that
my life was so greatly influen-
ced by a chance errand to Doc-
tor Temple's pleasant little
white cottage across the town
