HOPE The night is black, And so my heart. With soothing wind My tears soon start And then appears Clear moonlight. My troubled mind Is given hope By radiance bright On snowy slope. Oh, how I welcome Soft moonlight! My head was bowed. I now look up. Comfort spills From golden cup. How wonderful . . . Soft moonlight, Clear moonlight. V. Vance, XII. .- O-..- I should like to extend an expression of thanks to all those who contributed to the poetry section of our school magazine but failed to see their work in print. Your spirit is what aids in a school's maturity. Without your co-operation school spirit would die. Again many thanks and an ardent wish that your good work will continue to thrive throughout the years. E. Moon. Grade Twelve has found a new, simplified method of doing geometry deductions.

Alexander, XIA THE TATLER DEATH 'OF A DREAM The day was nearly over And books were put away When suddenly someone handed her A note to beg her stay. A smile crept o'er her face For she knew who wrote that way. She thought of the dance next Friday And of her new exotic dress. He would ask her now, he surely would, What a great relief of stress! Just then the class-bell jingledg Her hopes went soaring high, As she thought of how she'd answer Without an obvious sigh. He sauntered to her desk: Her throat went suddenly dry. Then he said to her quite slowly, Your careful work is always right,- Lend me your chemistry book tonightf E. Simmons, XII.

DEAR HEART. GOODBYE QPhilosophic or Religious Poem . . . . Honourable Mentionj With burning cheek and glazing eye I drew my last free breath. A loved one drowned in my deep sigh And cursed God for my death. Good mercy pitied me and then I took His hand in mine, Dear Heart, your life must start again From the promise 'I'll be Thine,' Remember, Dear, that God knows best When the balance sways like this. Now I shall have eternal rest, So, Sweet, good-bye. A kiss And then I shall be gone . . . A memory only to your mind . . . Or distant tune of song. ' E. Moon, XII. I DON'T CARE The moon is bright On sparkling snow. A night of nights . . How well I know. But it's so warm by the fire. The skaters laugh The skiers shout: They're having fun' Without a doubt. But'it's so warm by the fire. The gleeful crowds In moonlight basked . . I wonder why' I wasn't asked. V. Vance, XII. THE NEW YEAR The withered old patriarch will pass Weary of turmoil's adversity , His traditional scythe and hour-glass Will slowly fade to obscurity. But hark, what rosy cherub gay With merry eyes and beaming face Herald of festive holiday , Now comes, his father's steps to trace. Oh may his coming be an omen Of gladness, love, and mirthful fun With peace on earth giood will to men And a prosperous year to everyone. ' Anita Hall, XIII. 68 ON THE CHANGING OF THE DECADE CHonourable Mention . . . School Lifej O bearded Father Time, who ushered out A glorious but fading fourth decade, From which has poured contrivances man- made And intricate: our heirs, no doubt, Will look upon these gateways to, and shout Rash praises of, a televised and jet- Propulsioned world, in which mankind will yet Reap great discoveries from the forties bout .- Oh hear our plea. Bring to posterity, And all who dwell in this atomic age, A new conceit of present imageryg To use as tools of peace, not war . . . O Sage, Thy stern hand holds man's fate ironically, And charts the Hfifties' course on Time's white page. Shirley Holland, XIII. SMOKE SCHEMES Rising and falling in circles it swirls Gradually making a sheet of grey On top of my head, a wreath there, it settles, But a swish of my curls and it hurries away. It flows gently onward, with smooth streaming motion, Mocks the long grasses in sparkling white streams, Bites at my eyes, which sting for a moment, And ere I can catch it, is gone as in dreams. As in dreams, when I waken, the images fade, The magic in Dreamland is lost for the day. But watching the smoke eddies whirling, we can Make believe we aredreaming the day- light way. Marilyn Stilwell, XIII THE 'FATLER
