ME I sit and I dream in my own funny way - I ' m under an elm tree of some by-gone day. It ' s hot and it ' s June and it ' s humid as well; To study in weather like this must be hell. A spider alights, but too small to do harm: I ' m scared, but I watch as he crawls up my arm. It ' s hot and I ' m dreamy; so move I do not; The spider is restless and moves from my spot. The afternoon drags, and I sit and I dream: Too bad this old elm ain ' t made of ice cream; Too bad things are not what I want them to be; Too bad that I ' m lazy; too bad that I ' m me. David Holt 13A MY MOUNTAIN Towering, massive, like a steeple. Surging up above the valley, Scraping stars down from the heavens Wrapped in mists and wondrous glory Stands my mountain—secret mountain Fashioned only for the godly. Ancient Gods as little children Played upon her mist-wrapped summits. Practised magic in her caverns. Built their castles (wondrous castles ) On the snow peaks of my mountain. Silhouetted ' gainst the sunset, Mist-wrapped, haunting, awesome, lonely. Is a haven for the mortals Weary of Earth ' s constant strifing. Seeking shelter from the tumult. Seeking shelter at my mountain. There these mortals shall find shelter. There these mortals shall find wisdom. And in simple children ' s guises Shall return to the cities Teaching lesser men peace magic. Taught by the Gods on My Mountain! Marcia Mones , 12B

JUNIOR FOOTBALL The 1964 Wildcats established an enor- mous challenge for Aldershot teams of the future. The boys rambled through regular season play with only one defeat — a heart- breaking one-point loss to Nelson. In three of the other five games Aldershot ' s tough, de- termined defense held the opposition score- less. But the real thrills, excitement and dis- appointment came at season ' s end against our arch-rival Nelson. Well over one hundred loyal fans Journeyed to Nelson for the opening game of the play-offs, only to see our offense bog down. But at home the following week the Wildcats fought back with keen spirit and determination. They set out to reclaim their honour and were successful. Taking command early in the game they pounded out a 12 - 8 victory, only to have Nelson walk off with the trophy on the strength of their 11 -point vic- tory the week before. Congratulations to coaches McKenna and Bradstock and to the entire team. SENIOR FOOTBALL This was Aldershot ' s first attempt at senior football and the team ' s showing was understandably something less than sensa- tional. Severely handicaped by a shortage of players and experience, the Lions found that the seasoned veterans from the opposing schools were rather powerful. The most ex- citing game was when the boys almost cap- tured their first match against Central. They displayed a fine defence which held Burling- ton to thirteen points. But unfortunately, our defence moved somewhat slugglishly, scor- ing only seven points, and victory slipped from our grasp. Another fine defensive exhi- bition came during the final home game of the year when the Lions limited the Robinson Rams to thirteen points, but scored only four themselves. Mr, Neale and the entire team are to be congratulated for their determination and ef- fort. With one year of experience behind them the returnees should be able to work with any new recruits next season to form the nucleus of a real contender.
