CALGARY Seventy-five years ago today, Four mounted policemen came our way; They camped on the ground, From where a small mound. Grew the great city of Calgary. Colonel Macleod was his name, He led a life of trust and fame; From home he came To give it a name, So he christened the spot Fort Calgary. From a few sticks and a brick here and there. Buildings and towers rose in the air; So citizens thankful Better you be To the man who made possible CALGARY! —Sheila Hornberger, 7A, Darrel Reid, 7A. EIGHTH (STEPHEN) AVENUE Calgary! My, this couldn’t be it! Only five wooden stores, It wouldn’t fit! They don’t have any floors! Horses and buggies line the street, Women in bustles with big tall hats. Their beaux for to meet; And look at that ' ong, skinny cat! Bang! Bang! What’s that? Somebody coming to raid the bank? But, look at it now! Nice, big, beautiful stores, And t ie houses—well, they have doors! All the cars and buses on paved roads! And people- -there are loads! What a change in our Calgary! But, I like it best this way, don’t you? —Elaine Paquin, 7C. 60
