STANLEY FINDS MYSTERIOUS ITEM

By Vallery Mora
Yesterday in the after noon there was a boy named Stanley. He was digging holes because he was accused of stealing some shoes of a famous baseball player. While he was digging he found an interesting thing. It was a tube that had a K.B. on the cap. He noticed that he had seen that lipstick with the K.B. on it some where. It was similar to his mom’s lipstick. The K.B. in the lipstick stood for Kate Barlow. Stanley was reported to give it to X-ray, because they had agreed before to give him anything interesting. X-ray was given a day off, and Stanley moved up in the waterline. The warden was very happy.

SPOTTED LIZARDS SPOTTED!

Yellow Spotted Lizards are deadly

By Ana Ramos
Scientists found yellow spotted lizards in the holes at CampGreen Lake. Scientists noticed the lizards had eleven yellow spots. By looking in the microscope, they also say they have a white tongue and black sharp teeth. The yellow spotted lizard could kill you in an instant, worse than getting bitten by a snake. Stanley Yelnats has experienced it. But he didn't get bitten. Some people say the holes are dangerous. People are right because the yellow spotted lizards are deadly. Stanley once got in a nest of them and there were six of them. He didn't get bitten because he ate some of Sam's onions. Try to find them at God’s thumb. People say Stanley is dead but he isn't dead. Scientists think yellow spotted lizards attack when they are hungry. They are correct.

“Stanley felt his wet blood and a pretty big gash below his ear.”

Yesterday, a boynamed Stanley was walking and he found an upside down boat that said “Mary Lou”. In that boat there was another camper, named Zero, that was eating sploosh . Sploosh are peaches that were more than one hundred years old. The boat belonged to Sam and a woman named Kate Barlow put the peaches in a jar. Nobody knows why the boat was upside down. Also, no one is sure if the peaches are safe to eat, but Zero will find out.

CAMPER HELPS ANOTHER UP THE HILL

By Victoria Daly
One afternoon there was a kid named Zero, who was digging Holes at Camp Green Lake. The counselor, Mr. Pendanski was calling him stupid because he could not read or write. Zero hit Mr. Pendanski in the face with a shovel and ran away from the camp. After two days, his friend Stanley went after him. Ha saw many holes along the way, including some with Yellow Spotted Lizards. He also found a big boat, as listed in another story here. Zero was underneath the boat eating sploosh. They walked from the boat to the hill known as God’s Thumb. Zero became really ill from all the sploosh he ate. They dropped the shovel along the way, but made it up the hill. Zero became sicker, and Stanley went looking for food. He found some of Sam’s onions. They lived off these onions for about a week. After a while, they decided to go back to Camp Green Lake. They hid in a hole where they found a big suitcase. The warden, along with Mr. Pendanski and Mr. Sir, tried to get the case from them, but as it turns out it belonged to Stanley’s great grandfather.

“He saw many holes along the way, including some with Yellow Spotted Lizards.”

MAN STARTS MOB! This day in Camp Green Lake History

By Ethan Estrada
One day, over 100 years ago, a man named Trout Walker, the son of the richest man in town, asked a woman named Kate Barlow to go on his family boat. When somebody drove it, black smoke came out. His feet also smelled, so Kate refused to go on the ride. She did not like him; she liked a man named Sam who had a donkey named Mary Lou. One day she wanted to spend some time with him. They kissed that day. A woman saw them and told everyone about it. Soon, Trout heard about it too. He started a mob. They all went to Kate’s school house and wrecked everything there. Kate went to the sheriff, but he was drunk too. They went after Sam to try to hang him. They chased him as he left on his boat. There was some black smoke. Sam was never seen or heard from again.

Kate Barlow’s classroom, before the mob got to it.

ORIGIN OF KISSING KATE BARLOW Editorial

By Isabella Varkonyi
School teacher? Black sympathizer? Killer? How could this be! Kate loved Sam the onion picker. One day, Kate walked into the office of the sheriff. He was very drunk, and told her, “You kissed the onion picker. Why won’t you kiss me too?” Kate left immediately, without kissing him. Later, upset about the death of her boyfriend, Sam, Kate returned to visit the sheriff. This time, she shot the sheriff dead. She applied some fresh lipstick and the she kissed him. “There is your kiss now, “ she told him. That is how she became Kissing Kate Barlow. This story is a good example of how prejudice leads to violence. If the town had not messed with Sam and Kate, and had let them date each other without worrying about their skin color, many deaths could have been avoided.. We should try to learn from this tragic story.

The last thing many men saw before being shot.
