word. Ill niy vocabulary are many words. This is not one of them. Some people call it stubborn. I list it as determined. My thoughts are glued down. I will not lose them. They are too strong. Success nourishes hope. I have hope. I will soon receive success. Success; my goal. Success. I was blind; but I will see yet. Julia Morgan, Upper II, Donald House THE SEA AT NIGHT Although I ' ve never seen the sea at night, I have a picture in my mind. The sky grows dark And all is silent. . . . Then the great sea-waters roll. It ' s not silent now but . . . but the splashing of the waters . . . makes you feel all alone. LlANNE Vardy, Form II, Fairley House THE ZOO I have never been to the zoo, but I hope that I will soon go there, because I like animals. I would like to feed nuts to the monkeys, and corn to the elephants. Perhaps I would see the elephants splashing in the water and all the other animals which I have just seen in story books. Susi ScHiRMER, Preparatory I, Age 7 SNOWFLAKES Snowflakes are like fairies Dancing through the sky. Almost every morning The fairies fall from the sky. I like to watch the fairies Falling from the sky, So early in the morning, As my step goes by. Zana Main, Lower I, Age 8 [28]

' Vivien Law, Form IIIb, Gumming House BUNNY RABBIT Bunny jumps in her hole. With a wiggle and a twitch and a hop and a roll. Oh! there she is. Oh! what a wizz. Back into her hole, With a wiggle and a twitch and a hop and a roll. Bunny, Bunny, where is she? Over there behind a tree. Let ' s creep up and say Good-day Hush. Don ' t scare Bunny away. Robin Levine, Lower I, Age 9 PATIENCE, PERSISTENCE, AND DETERMINATION THE world can laugh. It will only increase my persistence. My goal; to be top. To stand above them all. To let nothing stand in my way. I will fight to the finish. There is no question. To be. Yes; it will take practice. It will take time; but I will get there. Then they will not dare to laugh. For I — I am determined. My ways are set. Just wait. They will be sorry. My persistence and determination will pay off, in time. All in time. There will be the encouraging moments; there will be the discouraging moments. They will learn, bvit I too. Gradually I will rise. To the top. Maybe farther. No; I am not conceited. It is merely determina- tion. I preach practice, and I practise what I preach. Belief. Belief in the possible. A dream? No. It is more than a dream. It is an aim. I have thought and I have decided. My life is devoted to my practice. Concentration, Persistence, Deter- mination, Patience. All are required. Impossible? No. I do not believe in the [27]
