All the children crowded to the chair to listen. One COLE day a young boy said to his mother, RUSSELL up a lunch for me. I'm going walking, His mother said, You can have these MCINTOSH apples and that LEMON, He took the fruit and went out towards old lxloGREGOR's mine where he could write an affiDAVID in peace. Suddenly he saw a WHYTE fox who said to him, I will GRANT two of your wishes! The boy demanded, Who are you and where do you come from? I am called DOBBIE, I am a fairy fox and I come from the WEST, MAN cannot find my home.

Margaret stood up to call the women fchattering as much as every to order. 'Silence', she cried and to her surprise, silence came among the women although their children screamed and laughed and cried uninterrupted. Suddenly Ellen came charging in: 'Am I late?' she breathed, 'Oh well, sit down children.' Andrea turned to her silent children, 'Shut up. I wish this meeting would commence quickly'. Patty giggled as Barbara fiddled with everything around her. Shirley and Mary sat gabbing about everything and anything while Shirley's lively youngsters circulated the room disturbing and disrupting. Jackie, crawling around on the floor, was looking for her pet and at the same time attempting to talk to everyone. Melanie looked on in disgust as Charlotte muttered away to no one. Nancy played the old school song and Cynthia fSofiej sang along, groping for words. Allison wondered aloud whether to cut her hair. Elizabeth looked desperately for a hanky to staunch her daughter's nosebleed. Emily listened carefully, but impatiently, trying to catch what Shannon was saying. 'Look, Kids, no more bands', cried Grace. 'We moved to Minneapolis', said Mary Lynne. Margaret A. , Helen and Connie absorbed everything. Donna and Anne, not interested in this foolishness looked listlessly for something to do. As you can see, Form two will change little in fifteen years.

This year two hundred new books were purchased, includ- ing the World Book Encyclopedia, making a valuable addition to our excellent library. To encourage the students to use the library, a Variety of attractive and colourful displays were set up by the library committee. Of special interest was the one for United Nations Week. Dolls dressed in national costumes depicted twenty different countries. Gay senoritas from Spain, geishas from Japan, a kilted Scotsman and many others, made an impressive sight. Flags and posters helped to give an added insight to each country. Other interesting displays featured the Ballet, art and Shakespeare. With up to twenty books in circulation daily, there is always plenty of work for the library committee. A student is on duty each day, and she checks the books and returns them to the shelves. During Young Canada Book Week, a book review contest took place. The standard was high, honours going to lane Thomas, Ballater, the senior winnerg and Lorraine Murray, Braemar, the junior winner. The popular library quiz was very successful and attracted many contestants. The senior winner was Elaine Wadham, Braemarg and tied for first place in the junior competition were Barbara Campbell and Jackie Daunt. Glen Gairn achieved the highest number of points. The students of Balmoral Hall are proud of their library, and are grateful to all who, by their generous donation of books, have helped to maintain the high standard, We are specially indebted to the Group of Interested Persons for their continual support and many generous contributions. We wish to express our sincere appreciation to Mrs. G. H. Sellers for an autographed copy of To Everything There is a Season , to Senator D. D. Everett, for House of Commons Hansard, and to Mr. LA. MacAulay for a typewriter. Susan Majury, Head of the Library.
