He ans- wered it by describing man as an animal W hich eats and sleeps, but one that has been given a finer, more receptive brain. Intellectua-lly, spiritually, and physically, every man is different. He is a sensitive individual, distinguished by his own marked characterise tics. He is unique, a solitary figure, capable of destruction, yet able to create and per- form wonders. He is also part of the massive population, which forms our world today. He is independent of his surroundings, yet his character is influenced by his situation. Man is seeking a personal identity by which he will be known and respected. He is also seeking to learn about people, about the wo rld, about life - for through learning comes mwledge. Man has had many different ideas about his purpose on earth. The Buddhists, for example, believe in a life of blissful worship, meditation, and devotion in the form of com- plete tolerance. They follow a straight path, the path of life which will eventually lead them to Nirvana, a state of peace and comfort. However, as it is impossible for man to live a perfect existence, one free from sin, a Christian explains his purpose this way: he believes that by accepting his position in society, whether he be a doctor, businessman. or labourer, and by making the best of his abilities, he can hope to fulfil his God-given purpose. Every man wonders why he was created, and whether it was by accident or by a divine being. After finally deciding for himself, he can then use his knowledge to reach the goal of his beliefs. We also, have a purpose. We must strive to do better through continual efforts, for, as satisfaction makes us complacent, we do not improve ourselves. We must meet com- petition as a challenge. In this way civilization progresses. lf we strive for a purpose. our knowledge grows: our ideas, based on knowledge growg our concept of God grows clearer. Those of us who are Christians believe that everything we do affects someone elseg this is how Christianity is spread, thou gh we may be unaware of it ourselves. We are what we believe: what we believe is what we make ourselves. When we finally achieve our goal: we have found ourselves through our purpose. Then we can say, as Hamlet said, What a piece of work is a man! ELIZABETH WEBSTER School Editor 6 Miss F, B. SHARMAN June, 1964 No words can express adequately the contribution that Miss Sharman has made dur- ing her half century of teaching, and since the better part of her professional career has been devoted to this school, her contribution has been extensive. Miss Sharman is best known probably in the Science Laboratory - known to hund- reds of our alumnae and also to many of their children. She is known not only by our senior students whom she teaches but by the smallest child who mysteriously discovers that Miss Sharman will nurse an injured bird back to health, harbour a snake, show keen interest in a dead owl, classify an odd stone, a piece of bone or a wild flower. No scien- tific speciman is ever unimportant to Miss Sharman and it is this interest which she has for so long imparted to her students. Although it is some years since Miss Sharman was awarded her Master's degree in Science at Stanford University she has never ceased to discover opportunities for new courses in nuclear physics and advanced science, For this reason so many of her stuf dents have succeeded in the science laboratories of both Canadian and American Uni- versities. As Vice-Principal for the last few years Miss Sharman has shared the duties of ad- ministration and in a personal way she has been a true friend to staff and students. To a dedicated teacher, to a loyal friend and adviser, we bid God-speed. u VALEISIICTOR lune, 1964 As this years graduating class looks back on our experiences here, we remember with some nostalgia the many traditions of this School. The annual events have be- come part of us, especially of those who have frequented these halls since the lunior School. Some of us can still recall the junior Halloween Parties and many of us, the Christmas Parties in the residence. Crepe paper costumes, cardboard masks, cookies and ice cream whirl in our memory against i background of black and orange. Then. two months later, comes to mind, a Christ- mas tree laden with lights, ornaments and :mall presents, confused with laughter and Christmas songs. The gaiety of these two cvents will not be forgotten. The Gymnastics Displays and Field Days also bring back vivid recollections OUR HEAD GIRL OUR SCHOOL CAPTAIN Long rehearsals in the Playhouse, Clusty JANE MOODY N'ARC'A JACKSON chairs, brilliant theatre lights, mats and hoops along with the awful stage-fright flutter all rush back with amazing clearness when the words Gym Display are mentioned. Nor can we forget that final rush to the tape either on flying feet or in cumbersome sacks, or perhaps through tires and un- der benches. The House loyalty and excitement electrifies the fall air on this day as does the stage fright and anticipation on the display nights. Nlore subdued, but just as firmly implanted in our minds, are the memories of Prayers and the Carol Services. l am sure many of us will return later to join our School in the Opening Prayer, a hymn, a Bible passage, another hymn, and to hear Miss Murrell- Wright's announcements. VVith the memory of taking the part of the Shepherd boy, xi Shepherd, a King, Mary or loseph in the Nativity service, the Carol Service takes on a special significance for those of us who have played these parts. Some of us recall reading, singing in the Choir. or even watching each year with renewed awe the scenes of Bethlehem. Associations will remain of lighted Christmas trees dimly illuminating the Cfymnasium or of a choir bearing lighted candles and singing Once in Royal Davids City. These thoughts of Prayers and of the Christmas Service are imprinted clearly in our minds. These are but a few of the many traditions of the School which we who are graduat- ing take with us in our minds as we move on to Universities or into Schools of Nurs- ing. I could reminisce about so many of the events we remember, but we all feel glad that we shall be able to come back to share the happy events that will always belong to this School.

CLARE MQCULLOCH One of our former students, Clare McCulloch died at her home in Winni- peg on Qctober the third, 1963. She had spent last year studying at Neuchatel Iunior College, Switzerland, where she successfully completed her Senior Matriculation. It has been only a year since Clare was at Balmoral Hall. She entered Grade VII in 1957 from Grosvenor School and was an excellent student, placing first in her class several times. Good at gym and sports, she was Sports Captain of Glen Gairn I-louse and played on the School Basketball team. She did well at everything she tried, and was never satisfied with less than her best. Clare was a Prefect in Grade XI, served on the Library Executive, and was a member of the School Choir. Being artistic, she was often appointed the head of decorating committees for dances, and many of us remember her famous Apink tree'. Clare's last effort for her school was to arrange for the planting of a hedge, the gift of her class at graduation. As the hedge grows, we will con- tinue to remember her, Clare endeared herself to many friends for she was always full of fun, All last year her mother was visited by girls, wanting news from Switzerland. Many of her former class-mates and friends returned to Balmoral Hall to join the School on Monday, October the seventh for a simple and beautiful Memorial Service conducted by Miss Murrell-Wright. 9 Balmoral Hall Iune. 1964 My dear Girls, As another year draws to a close, I ask you to recall the poem This Year is Your Shipf' When you steer your ship into the harbour at the end of Iune will you be satis- fied with the course you charted for yourself? You had a stop-over at Christmas and Easter to examine your progress. Some of you proceeded thereafter more cautiously and with a clearer vision of the course you were following: and some of you became more aware of the reefs and cross-currents that were jeopardizing the safety of your journey. I would like to say a brief word about these reefs and cross-currents as they relate to your year's progress. The reefs of course are the difficulties you encounter in navigation. These difficulties vary, but I shall mention a few. Some of you have dif- ficulty in concentrating, in working independently or in mastering facts: others have dif- ficulty following instructions. delving below the surface, or finishing assignments in a given time. The cross-currents are the distractions that will always beset you - thc telephone interruptions, the television, the wandering thoughts and day dreams that you have not yet learned to control. The experienced navigator, and each year you should be more experienced, learns to look ahead in order to avoid the reefs, and to steer away from the cross-currents of distraction. In this way each year the journey, interesting with its ever-changing hori- zons, and challenging with its demands on the navigator, can be safely manoeuvered. My last thought is for those of you who are about to sail your ships to far-away places. I join with Prospero in wishing you f'Calm seas, propitious gales and sail so ex- peditious as may bring you, after a happy voyage, to a safe harbour. Yours affectionately, Special Pre-School Dates For September, l964 Senior girls are asked to meet in the Library at Balmoral I-Iall at the following times to arrange courses and get text books.

Silently I shook my- self, and thought, not without amusement, that if I continued to be so melodramatic, people might begin to wonder whether or not I was in complete control of my mental faculties. Actually, it was just a crowded Chicago bar which I had entered, but there was something about that small, smoke-filled room, an ethereal quality, which made me think of things fantastic. I paused for a moment and listened, and suddenly became conscious of a hauntingly beautiful melody which drifted lazily throughout the room., casting its mysterious spell over the occu- pants and holding them entranced. I realized that it was those strains which had affected me immediately on my arrival, and even now were playing upon my emotions. Then the music stopped, and life in the bar re- sumed. I checked my coat and wandered over to a table near the band, seated myself, and ordered a drink. By the time I was served, the transient melody had begun again, ac- companied by a ripple of applause, for it was an old favourite, and for the next few minutes I relaxed, sipping my drink, and S - po-Q7 CSU!! I I N ac I?g Q R SC enjoying the exquisite, slow and dreamy music. When the band had completed their re- pertoire and had gone backstage for a brief recess, I followed, a trifle hesitantly, for I knew that they would not relish being both- ered during their only break in the even- ing's work. But my business was with only one of the musicians, the piano soloist, the man whose exceptional artistry was draw- ing crowds of people, and would draw crowds more in years to come. I-Ie was not seated, smoking and chat- ting, with the rest of the group, but was standing by himself, resting one foot on a crate and leaning upon his raised knee, gaz- ing fixedly out of the window, and inhaling deeply as he smoked a cigarette. When I first spoke to him, he seemed not to hear, and so I raised my voice and repeated my- self. f'Do you mind if I smoke? A pause. See those stars out there? In a way they're like peopleg they form their own private little groups, and they won't let any others into the group because they might spoil the pattern. Yes, just like people. The big negro sighed. Silence for a moment, then, You're Alan Davids, aren't you? I saw you in the audience, and guessed what you might be here for. Thats right. The magazine wants a .complete biography. You know, all the usual stuff - birth date, hometown, child- hood sweetheart - the works. Then there'll be the usual plugs - Rising young star 11 discoveredf' Best jazz since Basie. You'll get plenty of publicity: we'll get an original story, and everybody's ahead. Okay, he sighed again, I'll tell you my life story, but it won't be quite the way you want it. More philosophical, I think. Sure, sure. just don't make it too high- brow, or you'll scare off half our readers. 'AWell, I was born in this city thirty years ago, the youngest of eight children. and l've lived here ever since. My father was a fine tailor, 3 note of pride crept into his voice, and financially we were fairly well off, but socially . . . l You'd think that in Chicago, being as far north as it is, there would be little racial discrimination, but you're wrong! We were the only negro family living in this white residential district, and the other families made our lives miserable, the kids, by teas- ing us, and the parents, by snubbing Ma and Pa. Right then and there, I made up my mind to become somebody that white people would admire, and raise up on a pedestal as someone special, with a very special talent. Then, from my greater height, I could mock them and their feigned superiority, as once from their make-believe pedestal, they had mocked me. This last was spoken with a sneer. And, dammit, I've done it! When I look up from the keyboard while I'm playing and see those fickle fools listening entranced, but privately wondering how a dirty nig- ger could be so damned talented, I think how much above those inhuman creatures I really am. And you, Mr. Alan Davids, you are one of them! By this time, he had become quite upset, and had raised his voice considerably, at- tracting the attention of the other musicians. As he was outwardly a shy and unpreten- tious man, he immediately lowered his voice, and, with a quiet, mirthless laugh, spoke, Now that I've put a-cross all my moral views, I'll get on with the vital facts of my unwarranted existence. Later, when the band had resumed play- ing, and I was once again seated at my table, I realized how much less enjoyable his music was now that I knew that his calm and smiling exterior was just a mask of pre- tence, to cover up the bitter hatred which was burning inside him. But though I dis- agreed with his beliefs, and hated the force which was sucking the very life-blood from him, I held a grudging admiration for this great musician, and I resolved that the bio- graphy which would run through the presses in less than forty-eight hours would contain none of those twisted thoughts of revenge, but would be merely a simple ac- count of what was actually a complex man.

JANE MOODY-Grade XII Tell Them I Came There was a great feeling of tension and expectation among the people who stood in the cold solemn line. They were outside the school house in a poor area of West Berlin, waiting patiently in hope of getting a pass to go into the A'Forbidden Half to see loved ones they had left be- hind. As I looked down the line at the miles of drawn and anxious faces, I was struck by the face of a young girl who appeared to be no older than fifteen. She stood there ,in an old grey coat and a red knitted scarf with a lock of dark brown hair hanging in one eye. Her eyes were filled with tears and her mouth was set in a straight line in determination to keep back the tears. She looked as though she had been standing there for hours for her face was red and she was slapping her hands together to bring back the circulation. Gvercome by curiosity, I went over and spoke to her. After some hesitation she ex- 12 plained that she wished to get a pass to see her grandparents, her only relatives, who were well on in years. I was filled with pity for this child, who at the age of about thir- teen, had come over to the west with her parents, who had been killed, and now whose only wish was to see her grand- parents again before they died. I watched her as she entered the school house and followed her in hope of hearing the interview. As I entered I heard an of- ficer ask in German: What is your name? 'Anna Veriskovskyf' came the reply. A'What is your age? Fifteen. What relatives have you in East Ber- lin whom you wish to see? My only relatives, my grandparents. What are their names, and where do they live? Mr. and Mrs. Nick Veriskovsky, They live, I think, on I-Iamburg Street. Your reason for wishing to see them? My - My grandparents are very old and will die soon. I - I wish to see them before they die. That was all I heard and a few minutes later I saw the officer get up to confer with another officer. Anna sat rigid in her chair with her hands in her lap. About five minutes later he came back and handed her a piece of paper. As she turned around I saw the tears running down her face - she had got the pass. Anna's big day was the twenty-second of December between the hours of eleven and six. She had a week of preparation and waiting. A During that week Anna and I became good friends. She made preparations and with the little money she had she bought presents for her grandparents: a handker- chief for her grandfather and a piece of soap for her grandmother. In spite of these preparations, time passed very slowly. Finally the twenty-second arrived and Anna, her parcels under her arm, started out. I met her at the checkpoint and we walked through together, for I had a pass to see my mother that day. I offered to help her find the house. We walked up and down various streets near the wall until Anna spotted the house. Boldly she walked up to the door and knocked. A large gruff-looking man opened it and peered down at her. Meekly she in- is ii u quired, 'ADO Mr. and Mrs. Nick Veriskov- sky live here? Yes, he replied, but they have gone to the country to be with a friend who is very ill. When will they be back? Not until about came the reply. Oh, replied Anna after a long pause. Then with tears in her eyes she added, 'Tm Anna Veriskovsky, their granddaughter. Tell them I came. RUTH THOMAS-Grade XI eight-thirty tonight, Leaves Born from sticky buds they burst In riches green and beauty first: Then steals in glory to o'ercome each fringe The gold and crimson with sunlight tingedg The wind, the cold, the frost foretell The nearness of the deepening spell, While parent sheds the dead from high, Whose strength diminished with beauty's rise, Like tears that spring from growing love Fall from the darkening sky above: They float and swirl in eddy spray, Flames that triumph o'er shades of day, And they as only nature's slave, Fall at measure to their grave. MARCIA JACKSON-Grade X11 Ordeal At High Noon The house was hushed. Then, sudden- ly, an ear-piercing scream shattered the silence. I could put it off no longer. Day after day these unfortunate occurrences happened -1 followed by scenes, tears and tantrums. Life was too short and no human being should have to endure this. Why must I be the one continually selected for this job? I who am sought everywhere: but it must be done! Quickly I hurried up the stairs. As I paused at the door, once again doubts arose in my mind, but these were overcome by the thought that if 'twere done, when tis done, then 'twere well it were done quickly. So, I seized my victim and hurried into the next room. Then the struggle began! Eventually I forced him, writhing and wriggling onto the cold table top. With my knee on his arms and my elbows against his legs, he was trapped at last. Quickly I grasped a strip of rough white cloth and again forced 13 back the squirming mass of flesh. He was screaming loudly by this time, but for him no help was in sight Slowly I reached for the sharp utensil by my side As I picked it up, a ray of sun bounced off the tip making it seem even more deadly A shiver ran through my vic- tim's body as I continued to move it towards him. The noise now increased and sudden- ly with a vicious kick I was thrown back against the cold white wall of the room. My shattered victim watched the spear- like object with fear and dread. Slowly I lowered the instrument, and, just as it drew near the spot where it was to enter the cloth, my victim wriggled out of my grasp. Quick- ly I pulled it away so as not to draw any un- necessary blood. The tedious task must begin again. As I brought the glistening point near the target, I had to tighten my grasp on the quaking mass below me. Slowly, I brought the point towards the place: tears now gushed from my victim's eyes. I touched the spot and began to push it into the soft white massg then with a thrust it was through: it was finished at last - the diaper was pinned! PATRICIA PENNOCK-Grade X Lament A shot, a bullet, the assassin strikes! All the world drops its flag to half-mast. Tears roll down bewildered faces, Eyes are filled with both pain and fear. He was not our President, Yet, at his death, we too cried. She was not our First Lady, But at her side we suffered. Together we stood, friend and foe. Together we murmured a prayer. In sorrow we assembled - united. We became equal - one in brotherhood. JUDITH DOWLER-Grade X But That Was In Another Country... Damn, said Heinrich Bonner. This was accompanied by such a violent pound of his fist on the wooden table that the naked light bulb, dangling from the paint- chipped ceiling, swung frantically for a few seconds. The little old man across the table broke into convulsive fits of laughter. He lowered his head to his chest, hunched his shoulders and pounded his knee, literally howling with with mirth. He had won another chess game. Shall we have another? he queried. Heinrich nodded. While the old man arranged the board, Heinrich looked around the room. The scene repulsed him. In each corner there was an iron cot, while the wood stove in the centre of the room pro- vided the only heat. The table and four chairs were the only other pieces of furni- ture. A glance through the window into the grey gloom of the morning showed a hundred and fifty of these one-room cabins. all with the same miserable furnishings. But the game was set. The old man leaned forward in his chair and rubbed his chin in deep contemplation. His sharp, black eyes seemed level with the players as he scrutinized each move. Heinrich shoved his queen halfway across the board with the tip of his forefinger and said dully, Your move. Three months in this place, and what do we have? Nothing. He placed his long slender fingers over his greying temples. and silently wished that Marta were there. He glanced down at the gold ring on the smallest finger of his left hand. She had given it to him before the escape. In case I do not succeed, she had said. If I do, you can give it back, she had added with a laugh. Her life had been sacrificed in coming with her family into a worse situa- tion than before. Heinrich Bonner had been a bank manager, but now he was unem- ployed. Again the air was shattered with Herr Schneider's raucous laugh. He had seized Heinrich's queen. I sometimes think the trip would have been worth it only if we could have left him behind, muttered Hein- rich bitterly. The door creaked open. Heinrich was on his feet. 'fHans, my boy, he cried, half jovially, How was it? A tall boy of about twenty had entered the room. His straight blond hair fell over sad blue eyes and a face too worn for the boy's age. Nothing Nothing at all. Same old ans- wer, 'We have nothing at present, but we will contact you if anything becomes avail- ablef Of course we both know it will not. Hans pounded his fists together. Refugeel We are branded as undesirable before we begin. Because we are in large numbers we are labelled with the same mentality and 14 ability. West Berlin - city of hope and orosperityf' Hans, before the war, all Germans were equal, West Germans, East Germans. all Germans. Germany was one country and Berlin, a united capital city. But now, here he threw up his hands in despair, the allies have split our country in two, and ,who knows which is the better side to be on! The chess board crashed to the floor. The old man raised himself to his feet. All mirth had vanished from his face. You should be ashamed, both of you. Which side of the wall should you be on? This side, of course! Do you see foreign soldiers marching up and down in the streets? Are you chased off the street at ten o'clock at night? Are you forced to live under a gov- ernment you loathe? The old man paused for breath. As for jobs, they will come. You cannot hope to find a situation com- parable to the one you left behind, yet. But gradually things will improve. But why can we not get jobs? asked Hans, Most willing. 'iAh. yes, but can you expect one city suddenly to fill positions for the thousands who enter every month? Yes, long ago, there were no refugees, but that was in another country. JANET HARRISON-Grade XI of us have ability and are Hans, replied the old man. A Bitter Memory A large gnarled hand swiftly and care- fully stitches with the awkward needle and coarse thread. The strong wrists, thick from years of pulling in full nets, firmly hold the hemp taut. The deep-set, steel-blue eyes steadily gaze at the work before them, as the skilfully mend the holes. finished, he rises from his a shading tree, and stands tall, with shoulders thrown large fingers The nets bench under straight and back. Legs apart, he slightly sways from foot to foot, as though he were on the deck of a gently rocking boat. Walking down the pier with big strides and head high, he breathes deeply, as though he were taking a store of the salty sea-air. While calling to a ship-mate, his eyes quickly move across the horizon, and a faint smile flckers across his face. His wrinkled, weather-beaten complexion, darkened from windburn, relaxes a little. A deep sigh comes from within the sturdy body. The sailing will be good today, he says to himself quietly. The nets laid out yesterday? Yes. They're full now. The tuna run strong, and fast, and they are big. We have good catch, good catch today. The many crew members climb onto the deck of the Messana , named after its home port. The fast vessel seems almost to fly as it swiftly skims through the choppy waters. Being only a short distance from the port, the nets are reached quickly. There other fishermen and their boats join the Messana . The tedious job of pulling the nets, se- curing them, hooking the many large tuna. and then hauling them, one by one into the holds of the crafts, is begun. The mighty fish are heavy and thrash about, making it difficult to keep them on the grapples. One slides sideways onto the deck. The men quickly bend forward, to duck the swishing tail of the large tuna. A great splashing changes the deep blue wave into white foam and salt spray. A giant tuna is not to be convinced that he is going to be hauled aboard with the rest of his kind. There is a moment when the strong men slightly relax their arms so that they may fight with the large tuna a little more. The strong tail of the tuna lashes out, there is a muffled voice, sudden movement, splashing. Seconds later, a cry of anguish rings out, so piercing that even the gulls pause in their wild screaming. The fervent cries of, Man overboard! Cut the engines! Man overboard! are heard, as all the men rush to the boat's side. A man shouts, Carl! Carl! Someone get the ropes! Carl! We save you. Are you safe? Carl! A fait moan is heard and then the answer comes. i'No, leave me . . . you . . . cannot . . . save me . . . the tuna . . . the tuna more impor . . . tant. My leg . . A gasp is heard. The heavy woollen caps come off each bent head as Carl disappears in the warm Mediterranean. Giovanni Dallaszandro shakes himself abruptly. Remembering fate of dear Carl will never get this net mended, he mutters, and begins once more to mend a net he has mended a hundred times before -1 the same net he mended the day of Carl's death. MARILYN WILLIAMS-Grade IX 15 Spring IS Coming Spring is coming! The snow starts to melt. The sun climbs higher and higher each day: The cold winds cease blowing, The river starts flowing, The ice on the pond Is wending its way. Spring is coming! .See birds flying home. And buds burst forth from their long winter's rest. The valleys are ringing, With meadow larks singing, And the world in Spring freshness Is wondrously dressed. DEBORAH FERGUSON-Grade VII A Surprised Robber The five children, Bill, Steve, Laura, Debbie and Michael were working diligent- ly on a muddy river bank. They had de- cided to make their own boat and sail brave- ly over the river which had a vicious cur- rent. The children loved to go on exciting adventures. How I'd love to pretend to be Christopher Columbus, said Steve dreamily. A'You'll never be able to be Columbus until we get this boat finished, so get busy, replied Michael. The next day the boat looked ready. I hope that after all this work our new boat floats! exclaimed Laura, who looked very worried. After a discussion, they decided to take the boat to the river to test it. Suddenly out of nowhere an exhausted man came running down to them. He had a 'Ahard face with a big scar. He grabbed the boat and started for the river. The children ran after him shouting and scream- ing, but they could not stop him. I-Ielpless. they watched the man put their boat into the water and start to paddle away from shore! As they walked away from the river they heard a siren and soon a car appeared. A policeman stepped out and asked, Have you seen a man with a scar and wearing a black torn jacket? The children were laughing so hard that they hardly managed to say, Yes! Grad- ually Debbie told the police that they had just finished their new boat and he had stolen it from them. . The police were astonished, and the first one exclaimed, Why are you laugh- ing? He just happens to be a robber!! Witli this the children laughed all the more. We had just finished our boat and were on our way to test it. We don't seem to be vcry good boat-builders because the boat sank and the poor robber is now hav- ing a very difficult time in the river. The police ran to the river bank. I'Ielp! Help! cried the robber, The police got some rope and pulled the ex- hausted man out. He gave the police the sopping money which he had stolen. The police asked the five children what they were going to do with the reward. I know! We can buy a new boat that floats! HOh boy! Then I'll be able to be Colum- bus, exclaimed little Steve with a smile. ANNE GARDNER-Grade VII Wild And Free A roaring river, an eagle's flight, A lone wolf's howl on a silent night, A raging blizzard, a stormy sea - Strangely appealing, wild and free. A bottomless canyon, a forest fire, An unchallenged peak with snow-capped spire, A tiger prowling with vengeful glee: Majestic, fearsome, wild and free. A sudden flood, clouds rent asunder By lightning bolts and Thor's fierce thunder, Wild steeds running with graceful glee: Awesome but lovely, wild and free. A royal buck with antlers crowned. A silent morning with sudden sound Of wild geese honking. This must be How God wants creatures - wild and free. KATHRYN NEILSON-Grade X 'si if J1- -Q E 7 Q cud . z ' 1 I ' l 47' rl!!

JANE FERGUSON-Grade VIII The Revenge Of The Old Bell-Ringer The old church in Adelaide had been standing longer than anyone could remem- ber. Its five bells chimed every noon and midnight. The elderly bell-ringer, Elias johns, was almost a legend in the little town. People knew that he was beyond one hund- red years old, but none knew exactly how old he was. Old Elias was a dear, kindly old man, and grown-ups and children alike loved him. Cn a rainy autumn day, an elaborately- decorated four-horse carriage stopped in front of a small hotel in Adelaide. Out of the carriage stepped a lean, stooping, evils eyed man dressed impeccably in black silk. hith a top-hat, carrying a heavy oak cane. His eyes were hollow and resembled slits cut in his head. His inhumanly pale face had many wrinkles and a sharply protruding chin. The man limped into the hotel. Matthias Groon is the name. His oily voice slithered over the words. The attendant at the desk nodded. A'Yes, sir , he amiably replied. I want a small room overlooking the road, Groon rejoined and he added, with easy access to the door, for I have heard that this place is a terrible fire hazard and if it should catch fire, I will want either to jump out of the window or dash oht by the door. MYes, sir, again replied the attendant: that will be four shillings. Groon pulled the money out of his wal- let, and flicked it at the attendant. From that time on he was seldom seen except at meal times or in the saloon. One midnight, two weeks later, Groon silently crept out of the hotel to the bank beside the church. At the same time Old Elias had risen from bed and was about to ring the midnight chime. He chanced to glance out of the turret window and saw Groon enter the bank. Something is wrong: I've heard that this Groon is not a nice character, he thought. A few minutes later, Elias, too, had en- tered the bank. Unfortunately he tripped and Groon, hearing this, knew that he had been followed. He waited in hiding for 'Old Elias and then strucg him over the head with his cane. He cracked the safe con- taining two thousand pounds, and vanished from Adelaide with every penny. When morning came, the banker found Old Elias on the floor. He sent for a doctor, who pronounced Elias dead. Meanwhile one hundred miles away Matthias Groon gloated over his ill-gotten gains. One thing, however, troubled him. Although a master thief for over twenty years, he had never before murdered a man. This weighed heavily on his conscience. That night he heard footsteps climbing up the stairs to his suite. His heart began to pound in his sunken bosom, and his blood ran cold in his veins. A'Somebody else must have seen me kill that old gaffer and rob the bank, and have told on me! Now the police are on my trail! Groon panicked at the thought. The footsteps kept climbing and climbing. But, by the time the cock had crowed, the footsteps were heard no more, and the perspiration stopped streaming down his cheeks. Although the night's tortures were all a man could bear, the day had still more in store for Groon. He thought he could cool his nerves in a beer at the saloon, but as he walked in, to his utter horror the bar tender was nobody but Elias johns! This was too much for Groon, his face turned a ghastly hue and he ran as fast as his shaking limbs could carry him to his suite. The ghostly bar tenders hideous laugh rang in his ears all day. In his suite, dumbfounded, and hor- ror-stricken he stared into the oil lamp, but then there was Elias Iohn's distorted face laughing that spine-chilling laugh! A few 17 seconds later, it was the lamp again. for days until Groon's tortures lasted he gradually began to waste away with lack of food and sleep. Once he staggered from his apartment a month later, to buy a meal. Out of another door at the same time came Elias Iohns and Groon fainted on the stair. One night, the footsteps were louder than they had ever been. All of a sudden the door burst open and the room became unbearably hot. A flaming chariot driven by Elias and drawn by two fiends rumbled in. Stopping the chariot, Elias chanted in a monotone, You have been weighed on the Scales of Truth and are found wanting! Your sentence - Eternity in deepest Hell! O ye spirits, give me mercyg give me mercy, I beg of you! shrieked Groon, gro- velling at Elias's feet. Nay! No mercy! cried Elias, and with that he threw Groon into the chariot and whisked him away. In the morning, the maid came to Groon's suite to change the sheets. She knocked, but hearing no answer, entered and perceived the occupant lying on the floor, hideously contorted. She called for help and up to the suite rushed a doctor and the local detective, Sergeant Everest Mar- ney. The doctor examined the body and stated that the man had perished from hunger. Sergeant Everest Marney searched the suite for means of identifying the dead body. Finally he opened a drawer, and asked, Now why the devil would a man die of starvation when he's got a fortune like this in the room? BEVERLY KNIGHT-Grade VII VVinter's Icy Fingers They begin as little diamonds, Twinkling in the snowg The sunshine melts the snowflakes, And the fingers start to grow. Soon Winters icy fingers, VVith sword-like points so sharp. Grow thick, and strong, and frightning, As they glitter in the dark. These frozen silver swords, Hang in a jagged row On the edges of the eaves-troughs, Pointing to earth below. ANNE GARDNER-Grade VII Boastful Ghosts We will watch the ghosts come out tonight With silvery eyes and dressed in white: They will hide behind the evergreen trees, Those ghosts with silvery eyes that see The moonlight on a far away hill, The air that has a sudden chill, The creatures of the woodland space That peer about from face to face. But those brave ghosts will give a shiver When they see the raging river. I know those ghosts: they are all the same- They only play a foolish game, Those boastful ghosts! CONSTANCE VINCENT-Grade VII For The Sake Of Freedom Three silhouetted figures crept steathily away from the small English manor. As they turned for their last look at the group of dirty cottages and the manor house on the hill, the man sighed. 'AI could na more stand that life than I could . . . Soldiers! They know we've left. Quick, into the bushes The man and his wife and child threw themselves to the ground. Several minutes later, the soldiers' footsteps died away. They've gone now! That was a narrow one, wasn't it, Father? queried the scrawny girl. 'ilndeed t'was! Come on, 'urry it up. We 'aven't much time. As they hurried along, scattered thoughts raced through the man's head. Meet Tom 'alf a mile from the town. I-Ie'll take us to our hiding place. Bring us food once a week. Hide there for an 'ole year. But we're free, free, in an 'ole year. Why I heard the ol' Marquis say so 'im- self. I'Ie says, 'hide in a free town for an 'ole year and your free for the rest o' your life'. Aloud he exclaimed, Ower yonder's Tom's lantern! 'Urry up now! An hour later Tom left the family as comfortable as possible in the loft of a de- serted stable. The loft was full of rotten hay which served as beds for the family. A missing board was the only window and even this had to be avoided during the day for fear of being seen. For the months that followed the family spent idle hours in the stable, but they never left it. For the first months doing no work was a novelty, but this pleasure gradually 111 18 wore off. They began to wonder if free- dom was really worth this great risk. How- ever when they thought of the hunger and pain of their past life, they waited patiently . . . for freedom. Tom came faithfully every week with food and water. Although once a poor serf like them, he was one of the few who had escaped as they were trying to and now Tom was a prosperous tradesman. The months dragged slowly by and fin- ally there remained only two days until they would be free. Father, Tom didn't come last week and we haven't much water left. An' well I know itg we'1l just have to manage on what we've got. jeanette woke up in the middle of the next night and heard her mother moaning in her sleep. Her father sat up. Seeing that Ieanette was awake, he sadly said, This lack of water is especially hard on your mother. lt won't be long before she'll have to have water. I knows it, whispered Ieanette thoughtfully, as she tried to snuggle into the cold hay. Her mind was already forming a plan. She could not bear seeing her mother suffer in this way and so she decided that the next day at dusk she would slip out to the town well and fetch water. lt would not be difficult as no one would pay attention to a small child. The next day she and her father began to feel the lack of water but her mother was feverish and getting worse. jeanette waited until the darkness gave her safety and pro- tection. Taking an old jug she had found, As she crept along the narrow street, every step she took seemed to be loud enough to alarm the whole town. Every shadow seemed to be moving, and then she saw one that really was! She pressed her- self against the nearest wall. A flood of re- lief passed through her as a scrawny, black cat stalked by, followed by his grotesque shadow. Finally jeanette cautiously approached the well. As the cool water slid down her hot, dry throat, she felt proud of her cour- age in going to the well. Suddenly her thoughts were interrupted by loud footsteps. She hurriedly filled the jug and started back. As Ieanette struggled along, the icy water splashed from the jug and trickled down her bare legs. Nearing the street where the stable was, a harsh voice broke the silence of the night. Hey, you there! Stop! I say, stop! Ieanette, pounding heart and trembling legs, turned the corner and saw the stable ahead. HI must keep on! I must keep on! she repeated wildly to herself. Stumbling through the stable door, she heard the footsteps no more. Her anxious parents helped her into the loft. Hleanette, where in 'eaven's name you been? Water, I got water . . . and she sank into her fathers arms. The family sat joyously around the win- rose 'ave dow sipping the Cool water. The sun slowly bringing a new day, a new life, and a new freedom. DENISE ROULSTON-Grade IX A Queer Customer Mr. Whittle, the hardware store's man- ager, lounged in his old, wooden desk. He was just dozing off when the bells over the doorstep jingled. Waking up with a start and silently cursing the person who had in- terfered with his sleep, Mr. Whittle crossed the room. A ragged hat was perched on his head and an ancient weatherbeaten face peered out from underneath. His small glar- ing eyes certainly did not expect the sight they saw! A voice called out, Wait a minute for me, Perkins, and a tall, middle aged wo- man entered the unclean, but reasonably tidy shop. In Mr. Whitt1e's eyes she was not a woman, but some divine personage! Her hair was a fiery black, perfectly straight and fell down loosely to her shoulders. Her eyes looked tired but at one glance one could see that she was the type who did not stand any nonsense. A straight Roman nose gave her a Uqueenly expression, as Mr. Whittle later put it. Her mink coat was draped over her shoulders and her dress sparkled with false diamonds and pearls. Mr. Whittle immediately straightened up, tucked in his tie and asked if he could assist her in any possible Way. She gazed at him without answering and walked slowly around the small shop. She inspected every detail carefully, the guns, knives, pots and pans and even his treasured toaster. Then as abruptly as she came in, she sauntered out! Mr. Whittle gazed at her retreating figure for some time. What a queer person she was! O11 well! He could not be bothered. 19 Settling himself in his chair, he once aga'n dozed off and finally was sound asleep and snoring. All the day's happenings were lost in his dreams. CAROLYN RICHARDSON-Grade VII Until The Next Time Tying my shoelace, I stared wistfully at my empty bed where any person in his right mind should be at four-thirty in the morn- ing. Trudi looked up and laughed when I sighed. Perhaps you regret now that you want- ed to see sunrise from one of our beautiful mountains? asked one of my room mates. No, if you've seen it hundreds of times and still think it's worth the effort of getting up, it must really be something! I replied, yawning over the last few words. I still think the sunset would have been just as nice, and we wouldn't have to get up at this unearthly jhourf' argued julie lean ing on the window sill and watching the road. Here comes someone, she finally an- nounced, A'Perhaps it's Franz. Trudi con'- firmed her guess and the three of us trooped down on to the porch. Franz smiled at us as if he knew what we were suffering to see Apollo start his journey across the sky. It is not necessary to go too high on the mountain, he explained. If we go to the end of the path, that is quite far enough. And please keep in a group, it is not diffi- cut to get lost with all the twists and turns. 'Lrudi glanced meaningfully at me and I knew she was remembering the time that I had wandered off and got lost when we were visiting Rome. When we arrived at the end of the path, we were thankful we did not have to go to the top. We all sank down to the ground, except for Franz who unbuckled his knap- sack and pulled out some sandwiches, to our great delight. A'What is that awful smell? I suddenly asked, looking around and, realized to my horror, that it was the sandwiches, Do you not care for Gorgonzola cheese? asked Trudi, biting her sandwich. Following her example, I tried mine, but de- cided that I would rather go hungry. How- ever, Franz was quite determined that no one should do so and pulled out a peanut butter sandwich that I received with much more enthusiasm. Look, he said suddenly, and we all obeyed. The dreary grey sky turned to a lovely blue and the snow-covered mountain tops began to sparkle like diamonds. The yellow and red flames of Apollo's chariot appeared above the horizon and spread their light over the valley below. We sat there spellbound until Apollo was well on his way. It was just gorgeous! exclaimed julie, again attacking her half-eaten sandwich. A'Too beautiful for words, I whispered. Franz nodded and then said, The sun- set - it is beautiful too. After supper, I suggested that we go to see the sunset. All we needed to do was follow the path. Trudi did not agree though: it was too dangerous, she had said. However. julie and I paid her no heed, but as she might worry, we did not tell her. Half way along the path, there was a division and we were not sure which path to take. Trusting to luck, we decided upon the left fork, It was very easy to follow in daylight, but as dark shadows covered the sky, we began to worry. I'm beginning to wish we had a guide even though that would finish our allow- ance, whimpered julie. A'It is getting awfully dark. Maybe we'd better start back, I suggested, It's too late to see it now. Turn on the flashlight. Flashlight? she repeated, 'AI thought you had brought it. I groaned. Well we haven't any time to waste: we'll have to try and get back before dark. We hurried along the wind- ing path as the dark night set upon us. I could barely see three feet in front of me when I tripped in a rut on a narrow stretch of path, I screamed as I slid down the rough, slanted rock which came to an abrupt end thirty feet below me. I grasped and clawed at the rock and the next moment I was hanging onto a branch which had squeezed its way through a small crevice in the rock. 'AHelp! julie! I shouted, although I do not know whyg there was nothing she could do. I hung there not daring to look down as I slowly began to lose my grip. Instead of thinking about falling, I wondered what julie was doing. Hold on! yelled a voice that was cer- tainly not julie's as I looked up into the glare of a flashlight. We're coming. I summoned my last bit of strength to hold on just a little longer. Suddenly I heard a 20 sound above me, but it was of no avail: I just could not hold on any longer. I let go! Someone grabbed me and I fainted from exhaustion. The next day Trudi and Iulie came to see me in the infirmary, and l discovered that it had been Franz who had come to my rescue. That is the last time I go exploring without a guide, anywhere, I sighed, lying back on the pillow. Trudi laughed and added, U .... until the next time. CAROL EMERSON-Grade IX Un Pique-Nique Au Lac Un jour mon pere et ma mere decident de faire un pique-nique au lac. Ma soeur et moi prenons nos costumes de bain, et nos chap- eaux de soleil.

LESLIE STOVEL--Grade IX R DRY IN THE couwrrzv- X THE seEN-ec Toun Nl W NV le tx X95 , XlNhXi.QlHQf.ll.iQgf.i ., ' .. . ,W Hp i I .Jf': ' i in A Day In The Country ln an atmosphere of intense excitement the Balmoral Hall Auxiliary's new venture opened on a sunny Saturday morning at Mr. and Mrs. George Richardson's farm, Briar- meade. After the stands were erected and preparations completed, the vendors anxious- ly waited for their first customers. Then it happened. The mothers stared at the sky in disbelief as their efforts slowly drowned in the downpour. While some hastily bund- led together their precious goods and hurried to the protection of an already dripping tree. others tried to rescue the soaking tables with plastic sheets. But all efforts were futile. The peacocks, dry in the checking booth. curiously watched the crowds of drenched people scurry by in search of shelter. However, as the weatherman's promise came true, hair slowly dried, everything was brought into the open air again, and the Day in the Country went on. Throughout the day were attractions varying from animal tours in which wide-eyed children learned the names of their barnyard friends, to boatrides on a peaceful, picture- sque pond, complete with inquisitive geese. Country fresh vegetables read the sign above a stand filled with squash, pumpkins, and eggs. lndustrious mothers had baked delicious selections of homecooking, but by late afternoon every pie, cake, jam and jelly jar was gone. The handicraft stand displaying the fine articles made during the summer was never without fascinated browsers and eager purchasers. You will soon meet a tall dark stranger, whispered the gypsy mysteriously. Behind her, children clambered onto a passing hay wagon midst shouts of laughter after having filled themselves with barbecued hotdogs rig ht from the grill. Fathers were kept occupied. showing sons that they could still win in ga mes of skill. The special attractions of the day began with a flourish of bagpipes as two Scottish pipers led the guests through the woods to an open field for a display of riding. Of special interest to alll budding horsemen was a demonstration of jumping and skills in horesman- ship by the Manitoba Equestrian jumping Team, some members of which were old girls of Balmoral Hall. Both horses and riders displayed superb co-ordination and skill. Amid hoots of laughter and shouted encouragements, young and old participated in a family field competition of all kinds of races and wore proudly their multi-coloured ribbons as signs of their several victories. A teenage Barn Dance began about the mid- dle of the afternoon and continued until evening. Although the horses neighed loudly and the chickens fled, everyone seemed to enjoy himself. With a swirl of gay tartan and again to the tune of bagpipes, the Winnipeg Branch of the Royal .Scottish Country Dance Society gave a charming display of agility and grace. Then came the highlight of the day - the barbecue pit was opened, and great roasts of beef satisfied even the most ravenous appetites. Afterwards, when all had said goodbye to their farm friends, they returned home filled with the gay spirit of the country. We congratulate our mothers on the tremendous success of their new project that not even rain could spoil.

In the Iunior High School, weekly library periods are given to help the students choose books and provide opportunity for writing and hear- ing reports on a wide selection of books. At the same time students learn how the Lib- rary is run and how the books are arranged in the shelves according to the Dewey sys- tem. Browsing and use of reference books is also encouraged. We have had some excellent displays this year. Early in the fall, with the com- ing of our new kilts, a Scottish display showed not only our tartan but the history of many tartans. At Christmas, pictures of the nativity scene were displayed. From the interesting display featuring the new Coventry Cathedral, everyone learned a great deal. Seventy-two new books were processed and made ready for circulation in the Senior Library. The Mothers' Committee has been a wonderful help and we thank them for their many hours of work. Thirty-seven books were rebound at the Industrial Work- shop, and some of our old favourites re- turned looking like new. A good response to the request made to parents brought us many valuable new books, including a series of National Geo- graphic magazines dating back to 1921. A total of two hundred sixty-five new books have been obtained for our two Libraries this year. As similar numbers of books have been added to the Library every year, the mat- ter of wise use of shelf-space has become important. It has therefore been decided that a careful re-assessment should be un- dertaken of the value to the present students of some of the books already on the shelves. - Margaret Berry - Mary Dickson - Susan Guest - Pamella Kayser - Marsha Dangerfield Such a winnowing process will take some time to complete, but a start has been made. Its completion will mark an important stage in the rapid growth and development of this Library. A group of twenty-six girls has assisted with circulation and library management. They have worked hard all year to keep the Library running smoothly, and to these girls the Librarian extends her thanks. SUSAN HUTCHINGS The Junior Library The past year has been a lively one in the Iunior Library, with each child taking out an average of one book a week. We are very grateful to the Mothers who came frequently to do mending. We have ac- quired I93 additions to this library includ- ing many by Dr. Zeus which are being much enjoyed by the Iuniors and the Library Executive. None of us will forget, 'Hop on Pop.' The displays have been numerous and varled, including such things as Christmas Horses, Holland, Spring, and a display of new books. The most popular by far was the one about horses. There was an excellent Iunior Library Committee of six, consisting of Patricia Glo- ver, Patricia Iohnston, Sally Spohn, Teddy Nance, Vivian Brandy, and Midge Gosco. We were sorry to lose Patricia Glover who moved to Ottawa at Christmas, Her work on displays had been especially fine. The committee has done shelf-checking, and fil- ing and generally kept the Library in good order. Each girl had one day during the week when she helped the Iuniors to select books and put away those returned. Every- one made a useful contribution and I would like to thank them for their hard work in the Iunior Library.

Next door to her lived a little boy named Pen. One day Gwen and Pen went for a hike. As they were walking along the dusty road, Gwen saw a round, shiny object lying just in front of them. As she picked it up she realized that it was a small golden bracelet. When she tried it on, she found that it fit perfectly. What's that on it? Pen burst out rude- ly. It's probably tarnish. It's not tarnish, silly, Gwen replied mysteriously. I wonder what it really is, She took a closer look at it and finally ex- claimed, It's printing of some sort! That night, as Gwen looked at an old book, trying to decipher the printing, she read that the fairies often used a certain lettering. This lettering was shown on the next page. 'Al've found it! she cried excitedly, but just then her mother called her to bed and Pen had to go home. The next morning they deciphered the engraving on the bracelet and found that it said: SEEK BEHIND THE WATER- FALL AND YE SHALL FIND THE DOOR. Pen suddenly said, That must be Old Angus' Falls. Well let's go and look, Gwen sug- gested patiently. They set off at noon, and when they arrived, they put on their raincoats and boots and went under the waterfall. There they found a huge yawning hole in front of them. In it there was a huge stone door with beautiful carvings on it. This must be the door that the bracelet mentions! Pen said excitedly. They tried to open the door and found that it opened quite easily. Inside the door. X N I , i 1251 . ' li ll X XXX UQLDIIITTT there was the most beautiful place that Gwen had ever seen. As they were looking in, a fairy came to them and said, Not many children enter Fairyland you know, so you two are very lucky. They were taken to the king and queen who welcomed them warmly. After talking to many of the fairies, Gwen was told to keep the fairy bracelet she had found and Pen was given a little pendant saying: IN- TO FAIRYLAND THOU HAST EN- TERED. It had been made by the fairies' own qoldsmith. They were then shown to the stone door and as suddenly as all this happened, they found themselves outside the waterfall. When they had started to walk back towards home Gwen asked Pen to keep all this secret lest someone disturbs the fairies. They both did, but when they were alone they would always mention that adventur- ous trip to Fairyland. LYDIA KOWBUZ-Grade VI The Scientist I've found himl He's blue, The number is seven.

The Wilted Daffodil As Charys looked out on the green mea- dows, she was very sad. Her family had moved to Crawley, in Sussex because of her fathers business. For six years before, she had lived in Tanganyika and had loved the mystery of the jungle. Here there was no mystery. A week after the Kuranagas family had moved to Crawley, Charys' mother Sent her out to play with Ah-lien her Siamese kitten. Charys began to gather daffodils. Among them she noticed one that was wilted so she left it on the ground. After a while Ah-lien strayed away and when Charys saw her she was nibbling the wilted daffodil. Suddenly Ah-lien disappeared a n d Charys ran to where the kitten had stood. There was a hole with a rope ladder hang- ing down. Charys was afraid her kitten was hurt for she heard no noise below. She started down the wobbly ladder and at the bottom she found her kitten unhurt. Then ahead of her she found a dark tunnel so she decided to follow it. As she crawled along she heard a rumble and then no light shone down through the hole she had come. She was trapped! She thought she could fare no worse by going on so she went. Finally she came to the end and found herself in a roughly-built room. Leaning against the wall were many valuable paint- ings and among them a famous work of art. Could this be the hideout of the men who continually stole paintings? As Charys look- ed about her she saw a trap door above and standing on a chair she pushed it open. Right away she knew she was in the art gallery. lust then a man looked down at her and growled, So you're our thief are you? I'm going to turn you in. Before Charys could explain the man seized her and started to drag her off. lust at that moment Ah-lien stepped on the burglar alarm and right away Charys and the false guard were surrounded by other guards. Later she found out that the false guard had stolen a uniform and so had stolen and hidden the paintings. After that Charys' changed her mind about England for she had found and solved a baffling mystery.

HELEN STRAWBRIDGE-Grade VI l 25 The Bird A little bird came hop, hop, hop, To get some food to eat, I-Ie jumped upon my window sill To eat a speck of wheat. The birdy ate and ate and ate And grew so fat and stout One day he flew inside a tree But alas could not get out. RUTH GEMMEL-Grade VI The Golden Paper In the midst of the valley of Kenter- borough stood a castle where the sunbeams glittered through the open window. Inside, seated on the throne was the king and his faithful treasure-keeper kneeling beside him, On the table was a very precious thing called the golden paper and any mortal who read it could have wisdom which was long sought for. It was to be hidden until one person was chosen by heaven to read it. Anyone not chosen, and who did read it would perish! A'Oh, sighed the king, HI do wish that a person would be chosen to read the silly paper and save me from all the trouble of hiding it. Oh your Majesty, cried Simpkins, Hyou should not speak in that manner for if anybody should hear . . . What if anybody should hear, he in- terrupted. Well, um, blurted Simpkins, 'lit just would not be right. We shall not discuss this subject any longer. Be off, and mind you do not stum- ble down the stairs and break my best vase, shouted the king. I shall not, and he slammed the door. Do not slam the door! gasped the king. It was too late! The damage was done, for as he slammed the door a noise echoed through the castle. The vase had broken! Simpkins was thrown in jail that very night. He muttered that it was only an acci- dent until the king could stand it no longer. After the king had finished his dinner he went up the stairs to his bed chamber in a raging temper. The servants started flock- ing to their quarters, and the cape of dark- ness settled over the kingdom. Peace and quiet reigned now. Suddenly a glorious light illuminated the kingdom! Out of the sky descended an angel. Wake up, the glorious creature cried. The time has come for me to tell you who shall read the golden paper! The news spread like wildfire! People thronged out of their houses to hear the ex- citing message. Everybody was crowding around the angel and whispering to each other - everybody but poor Simpkins who was locked up in his lonely cell. The angel searched the crowd and cried. 'AThere is the one chosen to read the golden paper. At that very moment a golden light shone down from the dark sky upon a lone- ly figure. It was Simpkins! LORRAINE IVIURRAY-Grade VI Through The Knot Hole Once there was a little girl named Ginny. One summer holiday she went to stay with her grandmother. Her grand- mother lived by herself in an enormous house with a beautiful garden and sweet smelling flowers and trees. Ginny's room was on the top floor fac- ing a beautiful leafy tree. The room was very large and her bed was very soft. One night she heard voices in the wall. She got out of bed very slowly and felt her way around the room. Then she went over to the place where she heard the voices. She pushed the wall with all her might and the wall opened. There was a long winding staircase. She tiptoed down the stairs. The voices were getting louder and louder. There was a door at the end of the stairs with a round knot hole in it. She listened very carefully to what three men were saying. They were planning to rob her grandmother. She tiptoed up the stairs and up to her room. When she got there she turned on the light and hurried to her grandmothers room and told her all that had happened. Her grandmother phoned the police. They caught the criminals and a week later Ginny and her grandmother learned they had caught three of the most danger- ous men in the country. LINDA WATSON-Grade VI . a 4 Z Y 9 pl fl.

He always built the best shack and made the best toys. But, there was a witch who was jealous of him. jerry didn't know of this witch but he always knew something was behind him when he went out to gather wood. Une time, however, there was no wood. 'iWhat will become of me? he said. 'AlVIy brothers will hate me for this. But, the witch had caught his brothers and locked them up. They were worried about their brother, jerry. jack said, What if he gets eaten up? By this time, jerry was rather worried and began to look for jack and Ioe. jerry saw the witch just as his brothers got out of the dark room, and began to throw stones at her head. Uf course he hit her and the three boys carried her to a cliff and threw her over. After that the boys lived very happily and the witch was never seen again. LOUISE EDWARDS-Grade II Little Lily Unce upon a time there was a little fairy named Lily. She lived in a flower petal. The flower was a red rose. Une day a man in a tractor came by. The tractor went right over Lily. Soon a little girl and boy found her. They took her to their mother and father. Their mother said, Welll Their father said, Weill The little girl said, 'AI know, - Why don't we let her stay here? We can have the doctor over here. Soon the doctor came and Lily was fine again. PENNY REED-Grade II The Helicopter And The .let Une day a helicopter was flying in the sky when a jet came zooming by. The jet laughed at the helicopter. This made him very sad. Then the helicopter had an idea. He would show the jet how clever he was. The helicopter could go where the jet couldn't go which made the jet very sad. This served him right and, from that day. the jet was always polite to the helicopter. COLEEN SPENCER-Grade II GRADE ll GOING HOME Pip The Fairy Once upon a time there was a little fairy called Pip. She lived with her mother and father in a daisy. Une day Pip ran into the woods. When she came to the deepest part of the woods what should appear but an ogre. As you know little fairies are small so the ogre looked like a tall tree to Pip. The ogre picked Pip up and took her away with him. He took poor Pip to his castle. There, Pip was locked up in a cage. The ogre was going to eat Pip but, since Pip was so small, he thought again. Maybe Pip was too small. The ogre decided that he wasn't going to eat Pip after all. But. he was determined to keep Pip locked up. Pip was very brave and managed to creep out of the cage. However, she could not open the castle door. Then she saw a stick and pulled open the door with it. She ran back to the daisy and her mother and father were very glad to see her again. BARBARA ASHDOWN-Grade II Our Tree We have a tree, a green green tree, To shade us from the sun. And under it we often play, When all our work is done. JOAN SAUNDERS-Grade' II 27 Six Inches High One day Mary was sitting alone in the house. It was a hot day and she was thirsty. She went to the kitchen and opened the re- frigerator. She saw something red. Then she got a glass and drank some. She felt very funny. Mary noticed she was getting smaller. Her mother called her. Mary's voice was so small she could not answer. She called back but it was no use trying. I-Ier mother was getting worried. Then Mary's mother saw the bottle and it was empty. She looked all around, then she saw Mary who was only six inches high. Mother gave her some medicine. She grew back to her normal size. Mary was so happy she hugged mother and said she would never take anything out of a bottle again without asking.

Then night came so dolly fell asleep and dreamed that she was in fairy land. All the houses were made of candy and pop-corn. She saw a wicked ,fairy who said, 'AWhat are you doing on my property? I will change you into an ugly toad. The dolly cried in her sleep. The crying woke Mary. Then Mary said, Why are you crying? A wicked old fairy changed me into an ugly toad. You must have had a bad dream. But you're still my special dolly and you're safe with me. ALLISON WOOD-Grade III A Mouse In Gur House There once was a mouse, Who lived in our house.

BARBARA MORRIS-Grade HI JUNIOR SCHOOL SPORTS DAY - ------M '-'--A'-1 T l ' Zi ,EEL The Lost Prince In a castle, at the top of a hill, there lived a king. Although he had jewels, pets, and castle and a family, he was unhappy. The baby prince, Charles, had been taken away by a lady, jealous of the fair prince. for herself. One day the King was dressed in a green robe when the door of his bedcham- ber opened. In walked the Counsellor look- ing very solemn. 'iOh most gracious and most wonderful King, began the big man. There is here a young boy seeking shelter. I said I would ask your Majesty for permission. The Counsellor was shortwinded and kept gasp- ing for breath. Let me see the boy. Yes, he's strong and handsome, answered the King. The boy was tall, fair haired and dressed in shabby clothes. He had a large bruise over his left eye and it was swelling visibly. The King sent him to work immediately. A week later, the boy said, I have worked harder than any of the servants but you don't care, so I shall tell you who I am. I am Charles. The King looked surprised, then happy. Charles, he said, I am sorry. There will be a feast in your honour. There will be everything you like at the feast. That night the King kept his promise. Never was there so much feasting and merry making! The King would never sit thinking of Charles again. He was happy. As for the lady, she was punished and now works in the kitchen of the palace. ELIZABETH HAWORTH-Grade V The Adventure ofOId Faithful It was a bright, sunny day when Helen Hay and I went for a sail on Old Faithful. our raft. I was captain, Helen, the first mate. Suddenly we had hit the worst current in existence! We rushed down the river, heading for the sea. The wind was strong. XVe couldn't do a thing except drift. All of a sudden it was all dark. i'It's a cave! I exclaimed. I was scared but I tried not to show it. Helcn was too. I could tell. I.ookI I called. Ribs, said Helen. We must be, must be in a, a, a, whale! I gasped. Uh, wc'll never get out now! cried Helen. 'iDon't cry now Helen, You'll flood us out, I laughed. That's it, Helen yelled. We'll drift out the way we came in! She was fairly bursting with joy and hope now. XIVC jumped off, took a deep breath, and shoved. Pushl I gulped, half drowned. I am, Helen gasped. Lookl I shouted. I..ightI we both screamed. We jumped on board and floated out. Helen was in a deep, drowsy sleep, and soon I was too. When we awoke we were nearly home. We decided not to mention the horrible nightmare. Or could it really have hap- pened?

She said there was a fairy tale book in the store and she was going to ex'- change the book she had for the fairy tale book. I went too. As we were walking down the street we saw a fairy. She said, One of you can go but the other must stay. If two go, the fairy kingdom will fall. lane said that the fairy kingdom could fall and it would not bother her a bit. The fairy was worried and said, The person who doesnt go will go to fairylandf' lane said, I do not believe in fairylanci and I think someone is playing a joke. I said, I will stay. The next thing I knew I was in fairy- land. A lovely queen sat on a throne of white puffy clouds and a handsome but stern looking king on a throne of gold. The queen invited me to a fairy dinner. What a feast it wasl Magic giggles, magic happi- ness, and magic kindness were spread all over the plates. For the main course we had Kippery steak. Kippery is a beast found only in fairyland. He resembles a lamb but is as large as a horse and can hop like a kangaroo. May-water-wine, also found only in Fairyland, is what we had to drink. It comes from an Oaking tree, a tree with red bark and purple leaves. The fairies tap it and out comes May-water-wine. Then a fairy ball was given and I was the guest of honour. At first I was worried about my appearance. Suddenly the fairy queen waved and replaced my everyday blue play dress and old brown hat with a gorgeous ball gown and a jewelled crown of gold. At twelve o'clock I found myself un- 29 dressed in my bed. i'Of course it was only a dream, I thought. I looked sleepilv around and I could hardly believe my eyes - there were the very same ball dress and crown! SUSAN GARBETT-Grade IV Excitement ln The Cellar lane and Iohn had just moved into a big house in Lakeside. One night Mr. Marten. the childrens father, heard their dog Zip barking. Mr. Marten became very angry and locked him in the cellar. Father, lean called, what was all that noise? I guess Zip heard something for he would not stop barking. I locked him up, replied Father. Again Zip barked and it sounded as if he were in a dog fight. Mr. Marten flew down stairs with the children at his heels. Zip had cornered a burglar in the cellar. Then Mrs. Marten came running down the stairs. 'iTelephone the policelu shouted her hus- band. Soon Constable Clark came to take the burglar away. Mr, Marten said, i'Let's go back to bed. Zip slept right under the window to see that no more burglars came. The next morning after breakfast the telephone rang. It was Constable Clarke telling Mr. Marten that the burglar they had caught was a bank robber. Perhaps some of the money is in your house. So the whole family went down stairs to look. They had searched for about an hour when lane let out a cry. A loose brick had fallen on her toe. lane reached in and pulled out a bag which was full of fresh dollar bills. Then Mr. Marten took it to the bank and the bankman gave lane a reward for getting the money back. With the money lane and Iohn bought a pony and Mr. Mar- ten built a stable for their pony. LOUISE NEBBS-Grade IV My Pony My pony is black and white, He eats roses with delight. When I come to give him hay, He always gives a gentle neigh. Every morning I pet his head, And hitch him to my little sled. Then at night I rub him over, And let him have a four-leaf clover. SUSAN DANIELS-Grad? IV l 1 GRADE I IN THE LIBRARY The Easter Bunny There was once a little boy who wanted to make people happy and have fun at the same time. So he took the Easter eggs his mother had bought for him and put them in a basket. Then he tied springs onto his feet, took the basket of eggs and bounced around the neighbourhood giving them away, He was the funniest Easter Bunny that anyone had ever seen. LISA SHORE-Grade I The Junior School Halloween Party Such weird and wonderful sights Bal- moral Hall saw on October 31, 1963, for it was then that Grades 1 to 6 had their annual Halloween Party. To the regular beat OE a marching song, the Iunior School members, dressed as goblins, witches, poodles, artists. cats, bunnies, and many other strange char- acters, marched around the gymnasium. Each girl was called upon by Miss Murrell- Wright to introduce herself. Grade I presented a song called Hal- lowe'en Witches and as they sang they pranced around in a circle, just as the goo- lins, and witches they were singing about would do. Later on everyone in the hall joined in the singing of this catchy Hal- lowe'en song. With real expression the Grade II class recited a scarey poem about witches, pump- kins, and black cats. A play called 'APleasc Mr. Weatherman was put on by Grade III, who acted in such a way that we felt as if we could hear the showers talking. Little Red Riding Hood, a play in French by Grade IV, was gay, and the girls spoke as if they were right from Paris. It was fun to watch the games which Grade V played. In fact, we were all a little jealous that we were not able to par- ticipate. lVIoon Madness was the play which Grade VI performed, and judging by the applause it semed as if the audience en- joyed it immensely. To top off this delightful party, cookies. ice-cream, suckers, and apples were en- joyed. It was such a happy event that the Iunior School can hardly wait for twelve long months to roll around and bring an- other Halloween. RUTH GEMMEL-Grade VI I like the Dr. Seuss books.

I will feed her every day tool LAURIE CAMPBELL-Grade I 31 Adventure One bright summer morning I hopped out of bed, put on a bright blue dress, a white apron and a pair of shoes. Suddenly I was hit by a bolt of light- ning! Instantly I was reduced to three and one half inches high. I looked around for a hiding place. Then I saw a knot hole in the wall. I jumped in. .I found myself in the hall of Woodsbury Castle, my home. Very politely a maid named Isabella showed me to my chambers. An oak bed with four rounded poles held Cl canopy covered with velvet curtains. On the bare floor a single deer skin rug lay. The plain rough walls were covered with pictures of knights in armour and their ladies. My maid handed me a nightgown and departed. Next morning my dad, the King, was holding a tournament. Excitement was ris- ing in the castle. I was given permission to go to the tents, and I left. The Blue Knight granted my request and then I headed for bed. Next morning I awoke and my advena ture had ended. DONNA ROGERS-Grade v If I Were A Scientist If I were a Scientist Who studied the stars, I'd look at the planets Like Saturn and Mars.

Dear Ballater, Many House Heads have said before that next year's Head was lucky to get such a wonderful group of girls to work with. How right they were! As your House Head this year, I have really seen what they meant. I have felt your House spirit, seen your indi- vidual efforts, and especially your team work. Also I have got to know everyone as an individual, many of whom were just faces to me before. We started the year, as usual, with Sports Day. Although we did not win, you all worked well and I am sure you enjoyed yourselves. Sports Day seemed to set the pattern for the other sports, for in volley- ball and basketball we had our problems too! Broomball was played well and you were enthusiastic. That is what counts. Our share of success came in the Liter-' ary Competition and in the advertising for the Magazine. Your conduct was very good in the first term, although it went down quickly in the second. There are many people whom I should thank for their efforts and encouragement, but if I did I would soon run out of space. I would like to thank everyone for her con- tributions in sports, work, and the various competitions, for good conduct and house spirit. I think in a letter, although it is directed to the whole House, the junior Ballaterites sometimes feel left out. I have really en- joyed the meetings I have had with you and would like to thank you for your efforts. Keep up your good work next year! At the end of the year, everyone looks back with regret or happiness on the year that has passed. When I look back,it is with regret for certain things, but it is also with happiness. I consider this year to have been my best year at B.H. Thank you for giving me the privilege of being your House Head and making this year so much fun for me. I hope you will co-operate as well with next year's House Head as you have with me. In closing, I would like to leave you with this quotation from Aesop: Be content with your lot - one cannot be first in everything. Best of luck next year, Ballater! Love to you all, RUTH THOMAS Head of Ballater 33 Braemar House Dear Braemar, I was especially honoured and proud to be elected as Head of Braemar. It is a frightening challenge at first, but when I learned what an enthusiastic and co-opera- tive group of girls I was to work with, I was quite certain that with effort we could provide stiff competition for the other Houses. Several new members have joined our I-Iouse this year and have added their various talents to help make our I-louse successful. Congratulations to both Iuniors and Sen- iors for making Braemar achieve first posi- tion on Sports' Day. This success provided the incentive to continue with further vic- tories. In volleyball, our Iuniors placed first and our Seniors second. In basketball, how- ever, the wins were reversed, with our Iuniors standing second and our Seniors first. In broomball we had similar success. I think we have made good progress with games even though it sometimes meant con- siderable badgering on the part of our Games' Captain, Ianet. Academically we have retained first posi- tion throughout the year and so I have non thing to say here exe-ept, keep up the good work! I would like to offer our thanks to those who contributed points by entering, and, in some cases, winning, the Literary Competition and the Photography Contest. I shall quickly skim over our conduct as you know that there is nothing to commend about it. I shall close with the hope that your hard work and effort results in our winning the Sir Iames Aikins' Trophy. I have en- joyed the experience of working with you and now wish you every success in future. the My love to you all, ELIZABETH CLOUGH Head of Braemar Braemar House FOURTH ROW - C. Campbell, K.

There's a Tiger in Craig Gowan And on Sports Day when he roared, We were down the field like lightning, And for Second place we scored. Literary Competition? To the Tiger's great surprise. We were witty, pitty clever And they handed us First prize. We were runners-up in Broomball And in Basketball, the same. In Volleyball? - The victors! O, the Tiger's hard to tame! Swinging kilts and work and laughter, But we must not overlook, That we seemed to - rather often - Autograph the Conduct Book! Friendships face, that I'll remember. Willing hearts when we were down, Girls who hold the yellow banner You're the Tiger in Craig Gowan! JOANNE BRODIE 0 Head of Craig Gowan 35 To Glen Gairn - How impossible a task it is to set down in a few words all my thoughts - the en- couragements, the praises, the disappoint- mentS, the hopes - which I have had this year. Every smile, greeting or wink I re- ceive each morning - but of course, not on the way to prayers! - makes each day a little brighter. Looking back to the begin- ning of this year, I recall many happy mo- ments. How well do I remember Sports' Day with our terrific house spirit, and enthus- iasm! Can any of you remember how many times we sang our House cheer! Everyone's bright smiles, loud yells, and good Sports- manship, made up for the fact that we did not place first. During the rest of the term. our luck seemed to change. We won our Senior volleyball games. Thank you, Iuniors, for showing your interest in the games, and learning so quickly! Wham! One split second made the dif- ference, eh Kay! Although the Seniors tried hard, we placed second in broomball, but the Iuniors with their terrific enthusiasm, de- served their well-fought victory. In Basket- ball, likewise, the Seniors tried extremely hard, but it was the Iuniors who placed first. I remember how often I emphasized enter- ing the Literary Competition, but it was worth while since many of our entries won. Ping-Pong and badminton, which are not yet completed, are yet to be won. Thank you, everyone, for entering: we had the largest number of entry points. This second term has been most Successful since we placed second, behind Braemar, by only four points! Keep it up, Glen Gairn! Although this last term has just started. I know that everyone will show as much interest in the House as she did during the second term. With swimming and soft bail ahead of uS, I hope that Glen Gairn will suc- ceed in taking the lead! Even if we do not succeed. I shall still be proud of Glen Gairn. This year, I think, that everyone is really eager to do something for Glen Gairn: the Iuniors seem unable to do enough for the I-louse! Keep up the I-louse Spirit, you Guys! Thank you, Penny, Hutch, and Marsh, for all your help! Good luck to everyone! Love from SANDY alias VILLIS Head of Glen Gairn Glen Gairn House BACK ROW-M. Dangerfield, L. Ruttan, S. Hutchings, J.

Turning down Gilchrist Road, she ref cognized Catley, the Reeve, driving his old Riley at a dangerous speed. He was chasing Maju1'y, that runaway student from McGill. Francis thought, Why don't they leave hiM alone? If they keep up the chase, he will no doubt go to Graffin Island, as Roul- ston and Williams had done. At Griffiths', Hamilton McDougall was talking about Wiebe, the new pianist in Alexander's ragtime band. Cn her way home, Francis met her old friend Miss Slayton from Morris, who was visiting Miss Dempster. As ready as ever to give advice, Miss Slayton said, I hope your new-fangled St0ve'l be hot enough to cook a ham. Never mind, thought Francis, I can Reid the paper in peace when I get home. Eight's A.

Since the days of Rupert's Land, Miss McMillan has been helping to make us ladies , and there is no doubt that many of us will be more acceptable graduates of this s-chool because of her. Thank you, Miss McMillan, Coventry Cathedral lt was our privilege during the occasion of Sir Basil Spence's visit to The Festival of the Arts at the University of Manitoba, to borrow the film on Coventry Cathedral, and at the same time our Library featured a display of pictures and information. In the Cathedral church of St. Michael. Coventry, a charred cross was raised to the altar, just as it had fallen during an air-raid in World War ll. Ten years later, a com- petition was opened to anyone in the British Commonwealth to design a new cathedral with the altar as its main theme. Sir Basil Spence won the competition and became the architect of a modern cathedral which blends with the ruins of the centuries old St. Michael's which it joins. The new Coventry Cathedral gave many artists an opportunity to contribute their talents. Dominating the plain, sandstone ex- terior is Sir Iacob Epstein's bronze cast of St. Michael triumphing over the chained devil, which depicts the human struggle be- tween good and evil. The plate-glass en- trance with delicate etchings of angels and saints, screens the great tapestry above the altar within, and yet lets it be seen from without. This seventy-foot-high tapestry, 'Christ enthronedf' is the focal point of the interior. Around Christ are the four winged beasts from the Book of Revelations, representing the four disciples, and at Christ's feet is a life-size figure of man which appears like a miniature. The stained-glass windows that cannot be seen from the entrance of the cathedral, but only from the altar, glo- rify the tapestry and altar. Their array of colours represents the stages man passes through in life and into eternity. With the tapestry and brilliant stained glass windows which extend from floor to ceiling, the Cathedral, as a building, enshrines the altar. SHERYL NOONAN 40 Music Notes Thanksgiving Service At the Thanksgiving Service on Octo- ber ll, Balmoral Hall students for the first time wore the new uniform, the Hunting McLean tartan kilt. Parents and friends of the school gathered in the gymnasium. which was decorated in the traditional harvest theme with pumpkins, squash, marrow and sheaves of grain. The service included a Litany, and hymns of thanks and praise. The Choir sang i'Triumph. Thanksgiving! and the Dutch Anthem, We Gather To- gether. During the Service, the first new Prefects of the year were appointed, and given their cords of office. JEAN TRUMAN Family Pop Concerts Several of the boarders have attended some of the family pop concerts on Sun- days. This year there will be ten concerts conducted by Mr. Feldbrill at the Auditor- ium. The programme always features a great variety in music, from country folk dances to great symphonies. At one concert they played the Zampa Overture, which Mr. Feldbrill said was very popular when he was young, the First Movement of the Lon- don Symphony by Haydn, Four Scottish Dances, a piece by Mozart and the Blue Danube Waltz. After the last piece, a thun- der of applause echoed through the audi- torium and would not stop until the first of the Scottish dances was played again. A collection is taken at these concerts to en-- able them to continue. I was not at all sur- prised to see that the auditorium was almost full, and I was interested to notice that there are quite as many young people attending as adults. CAROL EMERSON-Grade IX The Christmas Service The soft light of eight glowing Christ- mas trees filtered through the still darkness of the gymnasium to create a serene and solemn atmosphere. Parents and friends silently admired the festive decorations un- til the School processed into the gymnasium for our Christmas Service. The Choir. whose faces were illuminated by the flicker- ing candles which they carried, led the School and the guests in singing the tradi- tional carol, Once in Royal David's City. After the Opening Prayer, each Grade and the Choir presented carols which thrill- ed every listener with awesome joy. As the curtains slowly opened, attention was turn- ed towards the stage. During the Nativity Story, the Magnificat and passages from the Bible were spoken by students while in the background familiar carols were softly sung by the School Choir. At the conclusion of the Nativity Story, the congregation was requested to join in singing, O Come, All Ye Faithful. and following this, the Closing Prayers and Benediction were said. As the recessional hymn, The First Nowellf' sounded to the rafters above, many present secretly thought that this year's Service had been the love- liest one of all. CATHERINE GOURLEY Symphony Concert On Tuesday, November 19, Grades Seven, Eight and Nine attended a sym- phony concert illustrating orchestral uses of folk music at different periods, The first selection was from The Bar- tered Bride by Smetana, It was especially interesting because of a variation in tempo from a quiet beginning in the strings to a slow ending with the full orchestra. Mr. Feldbrill then told us a little about Bach, saying that when he lived there were no symphonies. The orchestra then played the Gigue from the Third Suite as an ex- 41 amp'le of the music Bach wrote for country people to dance to. It was a gay piece play- ed mostly by the strings, but with a part for two oboes and another for three trumpets. Then followed the last movement from Haydn's London Symphony and a Scot- tish Danceu by Malcolm Arnold. The Edge of the World by Iohn Weinzweig describ- ed the Eskimos in the North and gave a feeling of loneliness. The concert ended with the Polovtsian Dances from Prince Igor. They portray a wild celebration by an invading Asian tribe in twelfth century Russia. This lively piece was loudly applauded, and made a good climax to the afternoon. VICKI GRIFFITHS-Grade IX Springtime Dull and dismal is today. So we can't go out to play. On the dirty window pane, Pitter patter goes the rain. But robins chirp. and swoop to say Tomorrow will be a bright Spring day. With flowers gay and colourful, Sunshine bright and beautiful, And green grass swaying in the wind. DONNA STOHUN-Grade IV Shakespeare Goes To School On November lst, the students of Grades Nine to Twelve were fortunate in having some players from the Manitoba Theatre centre at the School to perform excerpts from Shakespeare's plays. The scenes they took from Twelfth Night in which Malvolio, the gloomy stew- ard of Olivia, finds the letter purporting to be from his mistress, were very good. Every- one especially enjoyed the antics of Maria, Sir Toby and Andrew Aquecheek .as they watched Malvolio make a fool of himself by carrying out the letters instructions. Next, the actors performed a condensed version of Hamlet. Although very short, the performance was much appreciated. espe- cially by Grade Twelve. A bit of extra amusement was added by the portrayal of 'Atime passing by one of the actors. Starting at one end of the stage. he crawled through babyhood, and slowly raised himself to his full height -- manhood. He then began to crouch as an old man, and finally fell dead. The last performance was a scene from Henry IV, Part I, in which Falstaff tells Prince Hal of his encounter with the robbers. As his exaggerations grew, so did the de- light of the audience, and this scene receiv- ed the greatest applause. At the beginning, the actors had told us that they hoped to show young people that Shakespeare's plays can be just as dramatic and amusing now as they were in Elizabeth- an times. Iudging by the eagerness with which they were received, I think that these players certainly achieved their purpose. KATHRYN NEILSON Four American Plays On Friday, February 14, the Young Theatre Group returned with excerpts from four plays. The first, Our Town, gave a vivid picture of how the activities of a small town proceed unchanged through the years. Each successive generation performs the same actions, with no progress seeming to have been made. The next selection was an adaptation of the autobiography of Anne Frank. This moving story shows how Anne maintained her bubbling personality and became a sym- bol of joy to her family. Scenes from Death of a Salesman showed the tragedy of a man's basing his life on materialistic principles. He brought up his children to worship success and its benefits, yet each in his own way is disil- lusioned. The final scene from The American Dream represented another tragedy of mis- taken values. In a conversation between a typical American couple about what each has done during the day, the character of the woman is revealed. By dwelling upon the fact that she got the very hat she wanted by creating a fuss at the shop, she tries to impress upon her husband that she can get things done and he cannot. In fact, she shows herself to be a subtly vicious, schem- ing person. We thoroughly enjoyed the group and hope that next year we may have another such afternoon. JANET HARRISON 42 one 4 ,, f --J Balmoralis Pirate Ship Early in November our initiation party was held in the gymnasium. lane Moody as the pirate chief, and her crew of prefect- pirates organized a Pirate Ship loaded with captives from many lands. The youngest slaves. Grade VII, came from Mother Goose Land and we saw a few scenes from Fan- tasia. The construction of 'ijack's House and The Owl and the Pussy Cat and The Kings Breakfast were among the co- lourful scenes. The unfortunate Grade VIII's laboured to clean the clothes of the pirates in a Chinese Laundry. Excellent dancing ability was shown by Grade IX. with grass skirts and music providing a good background for the Hawaiian dancing. The Grade X Cossacks did their best in a display of Russian dancing. The oldest cap- tives from XI and XII were too tired to do anything but sing. In their song, all the school activities were mentioned, and the pirate chiefs, who were meanwhile playing cards and drinking, became overcome. To end this gala evening, the crew of Bal- moral's Pirate Ship gave their version of the song, Tiptoe Through the Tulips. lt was very suitably titled Stomping Through the Cross Bones. After refreshments, the Grade XI's led everyone in a Hootenanny, and so one more exciting initiation came to an end. DITTE LANSKY, SUSAN BRACKEN M Play Time We have such fun When our work is doneg We run in the hay To have our play. When mother calls We run down the hallg Then run to the table As fast as we're able. When dinner is over We play with Rover, Then put our clothes in a heap And go to bed and to sleep. ALLISON WOOD-Grade III A Parcel Once upon a time there was a poor widow who lived in a hut. She was expect- ing a parcel for her birthday. The parcel had a long trip. It came by boat from one of her friends. All of a sud- den the boat gave a jerk. The parcel drop- ped off the boat and floated along the water till it came to a dock. A boy picked it up and gave it to his mother. I-lis mother read the address and said it belonged to the widow whose house was just four miles away. The boy's mother took it to the widows house. The widow opened it and it was a box filled with jewels. She gave half of the jewels to the boy and his mother for being so honest. The widow was never poor again because the jewels were precious. BARBARA MORRIS-Grade II1 413 Grade V At Seven Sisters Grade V met at the School at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 25th. It took us two hours to get to Seven Sisters from Winni- peg and as soon as we arrived we went looking for a place to eat. We found two tables and a hut, brought all the food and sat down to eat. There was a little Scream and Cathy jumped off the bench. A bee had her root-beer bottle. A scream landed on caime from Ellen and she grabbed her lunch and ran to the hut. Donna looked at Ellen's yelled, A spider! After lunch place and Miss Martin looked at her watch and ex- claimed, A'My goodness, we're supposed to be at the power house right now! Our giudes met us in front of the plant. great huge On one side of the dam there was a drop and we could see twenty-five slots where the water would pour out when the gates were opened, The guides showed us six generators and said that the farthest three were built in 1929 and the nearest three in 1949. Our guides also showed us the boilers and explained the different co- loured pipes. The red pipes were used for fire, the blue pipes for water and there were lots of others. He showed us maps and told us that all the water in between the red lines flowed up to the Seven Sister Falls. When we went up an elevator to the top of the building we could see the ground about three hundred feet below. There were big bubbles in the Water which the guide said were caused by the propellers pump- ing out the water. While crossing the dam Miss Martin said it would be all right to go on the rocks. After that we all got back to the cars and started for home with friendly goodbyes. We all learned about electricity and had a lot of fun and the day was a great success. BARBARA CAMPBELL and LARISSA KOWBUZ-Grade V Sounds In The Woods Listen . . . To the forest, And raindrops pattering down. Little mice asqueaking and Running to and fro.

DONNA ROGERS-Grade V Snow I like to go And play in the snow, The snowflakes so white Glitter in the light. We skate and play At the noon of the day, And have such fun In the snow and the sun.

LESLEY DAVID-Grade IV Gifts To Balmoral Hall Balmoral I-Iall is always grateful to all those who remember our needs. We take this opportunity of expressing our thanks again for the following useful and interest- ing gifts: Sets of National Geographic Magazines dating back to 1921: a vase of Grecian de- sign now in the Senior Library: a set of prints of some famous paintings of various periods to be used not only for art apprecia- tion but to establish a nucleus of good art in the School: some stair carpet and a full dining-room suite, the pieces of which are being used in various waysg some curtains and some chairs for the residence. We thank Grade IX for the owl pre- pared and mounted for the Science Labora- tory, and last year's Graduating Class for the verandah furniture. The Bursary Committee is particularly grateful to the parents and friends who sent donations during the year towards this fund. Thanks to these friends, four girls have been assisted with their education this year. B. McMcMurray, J, Harrison, R. Kipp, K. Alexander, M, Dangerfield This Sporting Life When I received the honour of being elected Sports Captain, I was extremely happy. though very dubious of my ability to carry out all the obligations of this job. Thanks to the tremendous help of Mrs, Dutcheshen and the four Games Captains: Barbara Mc- Murray, Ianet Harrison, Katherine Alexand er, and Marsha Dangerfield, these trepida- tions soon disappeared, and this year has proved to be very successful. I would like to give these people three cheers, and a tiger for those who co-operated by their active participation. Sports Day was my first and highest hurdle. By mid-afternoon, many parents sitting on the sidelines awaited the beginning of our Senior Sports Day. Immediately after the I-Iouses had run on to the field, the events began and were run off in rapid succession. some being really humorous, while others a true challenge. Although we still clo not have our own equipment, hurdling has greatly improved since its introduction in 1961. The new novelty race, the Flower Pot, proved to be very amusing when a flower pot smashed underneath one of the competitors and excited the laughter of the spectators as well as the girl herself. The I-louse Relay, with Craig Cowan taking first position, com- pleted the day. Volley ball was greeted with the greatest enthusiasm. This year the Iunior and Senior School Team entered a league with three other schools: St. Mary's Academy. St. Iosephs, and Holy Cross. Victory was nearly ours, but St. Mary's Academy once again came out on top in spite of our hopeful attempts. The House games continued ac-- cording to schedule, but the early Christmas examinations postponed the finals until after the holidays when Braemar Iuniors won. In my opinion Basketball is the most exciting though tiring, sport, and even the Iuniors managed to learn the fundamentals of the game. Many of the girls were more enthusiastic about Broomball, our less serious sport. In spite of a few casualties, the teams retained their spirit and regretted the seasons being so short. Now that the spring term has come, the Iuniors are happily playing in the puddles. while the Seniors anxiously await the beginning of the tennis and baseball matches. The badminton and pingpong tournaments will be completed this term, and swimming classes will be open to all those who are interested. Although I often grew hoarse from shouting, and thoroughly chilled from refereeing Broomball, I have enjoyed my hectic but rewarding year as Sports Captain. ROBERTA KIPP Sports Captain 125' fl! .
