Subject: [NEWGEN] Interesting Paper in My Boxes


: I know some of you may get tired of my sharing
: what all I am finding in boxes. But this was so much
: fun! I have found some old school papers of mine.
: I found a three page paper, hand written in ink
: when I was in fifth grade in 1953. I have typed it up
: and it is the basic information to really jog my memory
: of that year; to expand on it, and make a good story for
: my 1953 year when I was ten. As I read it I was thinking
: of more things that happened that year I should have
: included in the report. I suppose it was to be just so long.
: For anyone who would like to read a 10 year olds report
: I have posted it below.
: Sue Ellen Cave Ash.
