ICE CRYSTALS

My "Circus Tent" was published on page 14 in the Little Silver, N.J., elementary school newspaper in 1952. It was the very first thing I ever had published.

This is the text accompanying my drawing:

"Pre-Primary Activities"

"A few days before the Easter vacation, Mrs. Cottrell, one of the Pre-Primary teachers, brought in a white Easter bunny to amuse the children.

"They have planted bachelor buttons and have small plants and gold fish in their aquarium.

"Six of the children went to the circus during the spring vacation. They are now making a clay circus, with a ring master, some clowns, bareback riders, and many different animals." -- Betty Jane Burdge, Junior I
