Dear Santa.
T h is is C le v e stin e W es­
son. I go to school at H a rri­
et Tubm an M id d le School.
I am in the 7th grade. H a r­

best middle schools in P o rt­

Harriet Tubm an do not like
the school but most o f the

Dear Santa,
Christm as is around the
corner, and before you be­
gin your annual flight, keep
this in mind. For this yearly
celeb ration , I feel I would
be satisfied w ith something
that would last me for quite
a w h ile — an ind ustrial em
pire.
In d u s tria l em pires are
very v e rs a tile and w o r th ­
while. They make poor men
ric h , and som etim es, rich
men poor. The are. for the
most p a rt, s e lf-s u ffic ie n t,
and the owner can m anipu­
late thousands o f people
fro m one o ffic e ! I 'm sure
you know w hat my reason
for wanting this is, because
you yourself control a m u l­
titu d e o f elves, and can
manipulate billions o f chil­
dren around the world.
I deserve this because
ever since I was given my
firs t grey fla n n e l suit and
b rie fc a s e , I have d re a m t,
hoped, and wished fo r an
in d u s tria l e m p ire . It has
been my dream o f becom ­
ing an industrial leader.
Very sincerely yours,
