It speaks to us of new responsibilities, new opport¬ unities, and new joys. It reminds us that no day is complete within itself, but Is a part of the entire course which we must run until death. As a member of the student body at Balmoral Junior High School you have much to expect of tomorrow. When you have finished your work here, there will be the challenge of addit¬ ional education, job opportunities, and establishing yo-ur : own home, all a part of a good and full life. I know that.you are looking forward to these experiences eagerly. And yet, sometimes we forget that tomorrow grows out of today. The energy and enthusiasm with which you go about today’s tasks determine the way you will be able to accept tomorrow ' s opportunities. You must not suppose that you can be careless and indifferent.toward present obligations, and by some kind of magic be able to handle those of the future. What you are today decides what you will be tomorrow.. Begin now, therefore, to work for those things which you hope to accomplish in ten years, or even twenty. Do not allow yourself to miss a single opportunity for growth; it might cost you the dream you cherish most of all. Live today for tomorrow.’ Pat Boone 2 . An Appreciation The closing of a school year always brings mixed feelings — a : lingering hesitation to leave familiar scenes, and equally anxious anticipation of ' next year. ' This term-ehding will affect significantly more persons than usual. Not only graduating and other students, but also several teachers close their sojourn at Balmoral. ' We are grateful for the fine associations with each other. There are many good things to recall. Students have carried on a fine tradition and added much honor to the school. Our academic record is splendid. Balmoral ' s ' reputation for sportsmanship is enviable. The atmosphere is charged with the spirit of buoyant goodwill and co-operation in all activities. We entertain great hope for the many sensible and capable students that have benefitted from the fine program that the staff has offered. ' We hope that the example and training received here will blossom to the benefit of every one of us. The staff are not unmind- ful of what they have learned from the students. There has, been mutual,benefit. As-we go our several ways we can rest in a. sense of achievement and satisfaction, - and fine associations well founded. K. B. Meiklejohn 3 - A CHALLENGE TO ALL - Once in a while, in counselling individual students, have occasion to express a thought that I feel bears repeating to all. For the abilities and the aptitudes with which we are bora we should accept little credit and feel no pride. What we do to use and develop these inherent characteristics is the important thing. The tall, lanky basketball star who naturally moves with .light easy grace and speed often deserves less praise and glory than the second stringer who had to work diligently many arduous hours to overcome a natural clumsiness and lack of co-ordination before he could win a place cn the team. Think of two runners - the first, a natural, wins his event with little training; the second, a lad bom with an imperfect foot, undergoes several operations, then, by sheer deter¬ mination, willpower and countless hours of training manages to place a close second. Which of these runners do you feel should truly be proud? The student who is born with a high academic ability, which places him in the top two out of a hundred, should be able to lead the class with average effort. When he gets A credits on his reports he has less to be proud of than the student of low ability who, by hard work, manages to eke out B grades. The student with average ability who gets on the Honour Roll - and we have had quite a number of them this year - I feel truly deserves to be congratulated. For good looks, for musical talent, for athletic prowess, for artistic aptitude, for academic ability, for all these we should be truly grateful. But they bring with them a responsibility. ' Only when the individual works to develop these inherent gifts to their fullest are there any grounds for pride. - L. C. Pallesen - - TO THE GRADUATES - In the three years that I have been at Balmoral I have had the opportunity of getting to know the majority of the graduating class, particularly those who have taken an active part in the Physical Education program. A great many of you have been a credit to your school in various ways. Some of you have kept the academic standards high by producting the best work of which you are capable. Some have become known for musical and dramatic ability. Still others have excelled in athletics and have been the members of our All-Star teams. Regardless of the field in which you have participated, if you have displayed high ideals of sportsmanship, qualities of co-operation and unselfish¬ ness, a respect for wise discipline and authority, you have not only contributed greatly to your school but have benefitted yourselves to the greatest possible extent. You have been the ones who have made it pleasant for the staff and students with whom you have worked and played. May you continue to grow in these fine characteristics. A. Proden 4 DEDICATION Bom in Ayrshire, Scotland, Miss Verrier moved to Canada when she was a child. She attended Connaught School, and also received her teacher ' s training in Calgary. Miss Verrier taught at Langevin School before she came to Balmoral in 1952. At Balmoral she taught language, social studies ' and art. Many of the lovely decorations for socials and graduations were made in Miss Verrier ' s art classes and put up in the ' gym ' under her artistic supervision. When asked how she is enjoying her retirement, Miss Verrier said that she didn ' t care for it much at first but is now enjoying herself. It is evident Miss Verrier is not wasting her time, but is using it to the best advantage. While most of us were plowing through slush and snow, she was visiting the majestic Grand Canyon and other beautiful places of the American desert. ■ Miss Verrier has no plans for the immediate future, but is going to take further trips to equally interesting places. It gives us great pleasure to dedicate our Yearbook to Miss Verrier, as she gave of her time and effort during her six years at Balmoral to help us with clubs, activities and academic work. It is a privilege to pay-tribute to a dedicated teacher and a wonderful friend.- - Yearbook Staff - YEARBOOK STAFF , SPONSOR - Mr. Churchill EDITOR-IN-CHIEF - Suzanne North CO-EDITOR - Gayle McCallum CLUBS ACTIVITIES- Gayle McCallum - Linda McAdam SPORTS EDITOR - Sharon Brown - Joan Baird ART EDITORS - Louise Burt, Kay Isaac LITERARY - Marlene Warren STAFF - Arlene Cummins, Vera Murdy, Linda Cathro, Elaine Bramall, Louise Ireland, Claudia Murray, Sonja Hansen, Charlene Fairbanks, Diane Petch.

We kept him for a while and decided to call him ' Pidge. ' We kept him till he could fly. -By that time he got to like us to well that when we let him go he always stayed at ' the school. We found out that his nest was in the clock tower. One day he was on the clock tower when he heard music. He flew down and landed on the .piano, and had to sing a song for Mrs. Robertsmusic class. Next he flew into Miss Williams ' art class, and had to stand still so they could paint a picture of him. Then he flew into Miss Bruce ' s drama class and had to act in a play. Then, strangely enough, one day he flew into Mrs. Enevoldsen ' s cooking class, and was never seen again. . — Larry Elford, VII-13 — - Donna Ashe, Jose Roa, Carol Russel, Colin James, Lynn Cipperley, Barry Poffenroth. - Sherry Belanger, Percy Woods, Judy French, Brian Sargent, Ann Hughes, Danny Knapp, Hugh Wiltze, Marie Snyder. - Sharon Sereda, Larry Glover, Susan Jackson, Bob Middleton, Trudy Mercer, Reg- Norby, Sandra Albin, Bob Troyner, Sandra Cappis, - Don Miller Cheryl Oliver, Bruce .jiderson, Karen Kimball, Jerry Keeping, Jucty Bezovie, Albert Alberda, Marlene Setter, Lee Shartau. . -Beverley Gref, Diana Williams, Marlene Kemp, Shirley Stunzi. - Clouds - ■ Clouds seem to be moody and restless. Some days they are white and friendly, but the next day they can turn black and bring on a storm. Each cloud has an individual shape, size and colour. They roam from continent to continent, either bringing rain, snow or beauty to the scenery. In the evening sunset they are most beautiful, because the rays of the sun are reflected off them in many different and vivid colours. — Yore Daniels, IX-3 — 28 . LITERARY HOLIDaY TURQUOISE WALLS ' Here I am, suppressed between the Holiday Turquoise f alls of confinement the walls which a week ago had a cap- ' -Lvating effect, but are now a prison cell. Where, you may ask, am I, and how did I happen to get there? My story begins . , It waB the, night of .august ninth. I was - confined to my room. The record player was playing - , and my thoughts were wrapped up in a marvellous myst¬ ery when a slight,, but solid-knock was heard ' at my window. ”AhJ Company at last,” was my first thought, and f.or a ch ange my thoughts seemed to be working with me. My faithful friend, who was also, the sneakiest thing on two feet, had heard of ' my unfair confinement- which resulted in a plan of escape. The night was young and her escape plan was almost at once put into action. The outside window was. the first obstacle my accomplise had to cope with, but being - very slight, It was removed as quickly as possible and section B of operation , If Mom finds out, guess what? was proceeded with. The inside window, and the last, was my department. Slowly the hock was removed and the window lowered. While slipping out through the window, my left foot most unwillingly did not want to join the party. During the mute argument between left foot and myself, left gave a vicious kick which almost spoiled our plan, iifter waiting breathlessly for five seconds and after hearing no noise from within, we contin¬ ued. My left foot consented to come, the windows were replaced and we were off for an evening of fun. During the hours that followed the neighbourhood was slowly being demol¬ ished. Gardens were raided, people answered doorbells, only to find no one there, and juicy crabapples kept disappearing off the trees. While enjoying some of our loot, my friend, glancing at her watch, stated that we should depart and proceed with the last and most difficult part of the plan. As we neared my home, all chatter and munching ceased and footsteps became as light as those of a cat. We- were about to open the window when my friend was called home. - I was left alone to finish the plan. I reached the latch, of the window, pulled and opened it. My fingers reached the inside window when my hand froze. Something was wrong]; Oh no] the window was locked] My secret escape was no longer a secret; Somehow my parents had discovered my escape] Desperately I tried to undo all reachable windows, but had no success. I was done - for. Slowly I walked to the back door; this had to be open, but alas, it was not. So, very reluctantly and very scared, I gave a light tap on the door. In more than a few seconds the door opened and there stood my father. Come in,” was the more than usual soft tone of his voice, Come in and tell your mother and me all about your evening.” And so I told my story, which of course was rewarded by a few lectures from my father; one, I might say, was not given orally. Here my story ends. My punishment aside from that which I have already stated; was confinement for a week, no allowance, and locked windows. Here I sit; suppressed between the four Holiday Turquoise walls, the walls which a week ago were captivating, but are now as a prison cell.

Wilson VALEDICTORY ADDRESS - Stanley Lapidge GOD SaVE THE QUEEN 30 THE VALEDICTORY - Stanley Lapidge - Madam Chairman, Honoured Guests, Teachers, Parents and Fellow Graduands - For many years the reputation of Balmoral has been among the highest in the city. This can be attributed to. several factors. One of these is our teaching staff. Due to a competent and interested staff of teachers, Balmoral.is. noted for the number of students it sends forth each year well prepared to face the future. Another fact on. is ■ the varied program Balmoral provides, for its students. This program is unique in that it allows students to participate in both scholastic and athletic activities.•• Several students, each year obtain a high academic and athletic standing, .4 final factor, which should not be neglected is the student body itself. If‘it were not for the students’ interest in this school and its activities, Balmoral might easily become ' di.Sliked by all. The healthy atmosphere,provided by students here,ha? inspired many to greater achievements. For these reasons we greatly regret leaving. So, in spite of our wish to remain with our- teaphers and,.friends, we must now bid an affectionate farewell to this wonderful school, and look forward to a future that can hold no happier memories than those we associate with Balmoral, Sports Awards Valedictory An Appreciation of the Home and School Academic Awards In Appreciation ' of the Staff 31 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF ' 60 - Suzanne North - It is ray privilege as historian of the class of ' 60 to recall some events we regard as highlights. To begin a history we must have a starting-point. That starting point is the day we entered Balmoral Junior High for the first time in September 1957. As we sat in the Gym waiting to be assigned to our classrooms, we felt extremely proud of ourselves at having passed from elementary school into junior high. To us this was something really big. This superior attitude lasted until we came face to face with those human monsters - Grade IX students. In spite of the fact we were convinced they breathed fire, ate Grade VIIs for breakfast, and knew more than we could ever hope to learn in a thousand vears, a few brave souls ventured forth and made names for themselves in sports, clubs and academic studies. These people learned from the leaders among the grade nines at that time how to be the leaders of our class. Our Grade VIII year was a little less formidable. We were not quite so afraid of Mr. Kemp, and the other teachers became people and not just names in the morning notices or faces in the hall. Miss Potter, for instance, in Grade VIII was known to us as the Library Lady, and was as adept at col¬ lecting fines on overdue books as the Sheriff of Nottingham was at collecting taxes. Unfortunately, we had no Robin Hood to save us from our fines or even to pay them for us. In fact, the closest thing we ever had to Robin Hood was Murray Quance, who shot his elastic bands with the same accuracy as Robin shot his arrows. The crowning day arrived when we entered Grade IX. This was to be our year; the year we were to lead in track and other sports activities as well as drama production, year book publication and activities of the music group. Only one shadow hung over our year - grade IX final examina¬ tions. But the thoughts of exams did not stop us from entering these activities and enjoying them. Many people gave outstanding performances in their field of endeavour. Who could ever forget Bart Wood ' s performance in the spring concert. Armed with a decoy duck and a blue diaper, Bart really convinced us we were really sitting in the middle of a river in China. Louise Burt has set us an example by serving outstandingly as Presi¬ dent ' of Students ' Council, and a student of high academic standing. Academic studies, however, have not interfered with her extra-curricular activities, have they, Danny Windeatt? Many of us will remember our teachers as each morning they ran hurriedly up the front steps of the main building and in the door. Their running was not in eagerness to. teach their classes, but eagerness to escape the onslaught of pigeons who flocked around the door in squads. As we walked in our side door, we felt extremely lucky at having only to contend with the occasional outrider. As we leave Balmoral, we think of a great educationist ' s definition of education - Big jugs pouring into little mugs; and although the mugs may forget some of the math and language they learned at Balmoral, we are sure they will never forget the wonderful things that happened in their three years here. 32 .

CLUBS and ACTIVITIES GRADE NINE TABLOID DAY Good Morning. This is Herman Shprout from radio station S-P-U-D. Today- opens one of the most fantabulas sights you will ever see, on the field of Balmoral Junior High School. It is called the Tabloid Sports Day. The purpose of this is to pick hidden talent among, the students. The grade nine classes are all great, but most bets are on 9-1, not only the most popular room, but the room with best sportsmanship. The events are: high jump, broad jump, running broad, hurdles and shot- put for boys - discus for girls. OH MAN!. ' -Here comes Greg -Ariss from 9-18, racing over the hurdles. Looks like its 4 points for 9-18. OUCH! He knocks over that last hurdle. Whatsthat?? Coming down the field - flying over the hurdles at light ning speed and ending up with 4 points? George Renaud from 9-11 Rolling down the track field, Speeding right along, . Here comes Danny Windeatt WHOOPS he fell — BONG. Here comes Lois Williams from 9-3 racing toward the broad jump pit and taking a huge leap. Too bad! That ' s only 2 points. But wait a minute, what ' s this? We see a body hurtling through the air, flying through space and clearing the pit - Janet Dobson 9-1. Moving to the south at the high-jump, we see Dick Dennison 9-3 jumping his best. OH NO! He broke the stick. Now we see 9-1 coming. Gerald Axelson, using his foot as a piston, dives into the air, and flings ' himself over the bar to make 4 points. This meet is one of the best in history. The ground is a mass of humanity. All classes are screaming, but above the racket, you can hear 9-1 as always. Now the events are over. The classes move toward the scoreboard. Every¬ one is tense. They sit, with eyes glued to the scoreboard. Mr. Meiklejohn starts to add up the totals. QUIET! If only he could remember the sum of 5 + 16. Oh. darn! He forgot where he was. Now the main door opens. Out comes Mrs. Hatch with the adding machine. WHEW! Everyone sighs with relief. The steady rythmic click, click of the adding machine can be heard distinctly as the participants sit like statues. Mr. Churchill is chewing his glasses. Mr. Koskie, we is frantically eating his tie and tugging at his hat. see, THE FINAL SCORE - Everyone stops chewing his fingernails and sits erect. By some trick of witchcraft ------ 9-3 wins by a head. The field goes mad. Mr. Koskie is turning summer-salts and doing hand¬ springs. -Sue North is climbing up the flagpole. -Fay Owsley is waving from the tower, and the rest of 9-3 seems to be swinging through the trees. Moving over a bit, we see 9-1, calm and relaxed with knowing grins on their faces. After all, they have to iet 9-3 win sometimes, don ' t they? Jean Van Gaalen 9-1 (of course) 34 . CLUBS and ACTIVITIES AUDIO-VISUAL AIDS The Audio Visual Aids is under the leadership of Mr. Brook 9-4. Their president is Dave Willis, Vice President - Bill Hamilton, and secretary - Barry Wood.

It has become tremendously popular since the term ' hot rod ' was misused and misunderstood in the forties, and still is misused in some cases. The public has been mistaken in many of their opinions of the hot rodder. Some of these opinions are that they, rodders, and their cars are - 1. too noisy; 2, too reckless; 3 - too fast; 4. a nuisance on the highway; 5. a cause of accidents. As to the hot rodders ' cars being noisy, that is purely a personal opinion, the same as hair styles. All hot reds don ' t have noisy mufflers, although some have. It depends on the person. Recklessness is another complaint of the public. To be reckless with the rod that you have spent an eternity on, tuning to perfection and shining spotlessly is just the same as spending months carving a horse and then throwing it around as though you don ' t value it. Many people, as soon as they see any kind of car speeding or doing something they think is wrong, tag on the tern ' hot rod. ' An important man in the United States said that such things as stock car racing should be abandoned, as it has caused deaths. If you compare racing with other sports such as hunting, fishing and swimming, you will find that there are a great many more accidents in these than in racing. In one of Calgary ' s newspapers, the N©rth Hill News, Page 7 of the May 12th., I960 edition, there is a picture of a hot rod and its owner, along with a few other club members. Allen Lazarick won first prize in hot rods at the Crescent Heights High School Safe Driving week, which culminated a successful campaign among students. A very good thing today is car clubs, as you can cut down on expense by sharing tools among the members. Most car clubs help do exactljr the opposite to what most of the public think they do. For example, they set their own club standards. Three of the most common set of rules are as follows: A. Members are not allowed to participate in club activities if they get a ticket for speeding or any other offense. B. They must be polite and courteous. If they see a car stopped on the side of the road in trouble, they must stop and give as much assistance as possible.

I was walking along the narrow rutted path by the top of the cliff and gazing below at the town in the valley. It had been severely bombed during World War two, as it was the location of one of Germany’s largest- munitions factories, and I marvelled at the completeness of its rebuilding and at its sleek modern architecture. • I sat down under a large tree and looked about me. I don ' t quite know how long I had been there before I got up to leave and walk the narrow winding path down the cliff to home. The sunlight glinting . off an object caught my eye. I turned, and there it was - a spherical object about fifteen feet in diameter sitting in the middle cf a grove of trees. It was made of metal, and had hinged to it what I took to be a door. Suddenly the door opened and a man emerged. He was tall and handsome, about fifty years of age with hair greying at the temples and the distinguished air of a statesman. I spoke to him and he answered me in a deep voice that spoke English of a unique quality which was indefinable. Being exceedingly-curious about his metal sphere, I asked him what its purpose was and what it would do. He replied in his unique English that it was a time machine, the most terrible weapon on earth, and that he was a being from the future travelling from that dimension into the past. I began now to be worried and in my head I tried to plan a route of ■ retreat for I thought him an escaped mental patient and had heard that these types were sometimes dangerous. Realizing that I couldn ' t escape him, I tried humouring him along and said jokingly that he must have a fine machine and wouldn ' t he please take me back with him to the past as I’d always wanted to meet my great grandfather twenty three generations removed. He seemed to see through my feeble attempts and became angry. He shouted he would take me with him but that if I went I must obey him to the letter. He motioned toward the machine. Thinking to humour him still further, I climbed in beside him and he closed the door. There were only two levers in sight. Although there must have been more machinery, it was covered with panels. He explained to me ' care- .fully the workings of the machine and told me to sit in the chair. As he slowly pulled back the lever I felt dizzy, and the stuffy closeness of the air was unbearable. I wished he would let me out and go back to his metal home. Suddenly he flung the door open and we were still in the grove of trees with the morning breeze rustling the leaves. I felt immense relief as the fresh air flooded in. I stepped out into the sunshine again. I could hear the birds singing, and I prepared to walk down the path, but he told me to stop. There was such a coldness in his voice that I halted immediately and looked around. He was walking over to me. He stopped walking and reminded me that I had promised to obey him if he would permit me to accompany him. As any idiot could see, we had not journeyed anywhere but were still in the same grove of. trees, I had not accompanied him anywhere, but I was afraid of his becoming violent if I did not play along wiun his game. I said very well, I would obey. He resumed his normal tone and gave me a few minor instructions, but once again the voice that had the cold ring of steel interceded and told me that under no circumstances must I harm in any way the inhabitants of the town in the valley, or the effects would be- disastrous. I promised him this, and proceeded down the slippery winding path with him close behind. I intended to take him to see a doctor friend of mine in the village the minute we were there. This man, I thought, was in the very advanced stages of schizophrenia. Continued on next page 48. LITERARY . t. ’ .. I DID IT - (Continued) As we approached the village I itaew that something was desperately wrong. The village was small and had no longer strong modern houses but just the run-down huts of the peasants of a medieval village. I looked, but could not believe my eyes. I knew I wasn ' t dreaming. The metal ball on the cliff had truly taken be back in time. I felt a wild desire to escape. I ran up the path to the edge of the cliff, with my friend of the time machine in hot pursuit, and following him were several villagers, I fell exhausted by a tree at the edge. My friend and one of the villagers helped pick me up. I stood, took a step and stumbled on a tree root, throwing myself against the villager. He fell with a piercing shriek off the cliff. The cold voice said to me, I told you not to harm the villagers. The man was falling, falling, until he was smashed on the rocks below, his body a bloody mass. Suddenly it was quiet, I was alme; there were no people. There was nothing at all. It was then I realized the significance of the words, do not harm the villagers, because by killing this one man I had changed the course of time. History would all be changed, and to change history in any way would be fatal. I had interrupted the pattern of TIME. No shrieking bombs had smashed the earth to ruins, no germ war had occurred. I had destroyed the earth by interrupting the course of time. I had killed and destroyed every living thing on the face of the earth. Sue North 9-3 THE SEASHORE . _ j . . ;. � . 1 . The ' seashore in the bright sun and early morning is just as beautiful as the rising of the sun in the mountains. It is the meeting of two great natural wonders, the unchanging sea lapping the land. After the incoming tide recedes the seashore is a maze of seashells, seaweed and other remnants of the underwater world. If you ' re ambitious the beach can give up delicious clams. The salty water is fresh and perfect for swimming, although you can get wet just by the rollers which come crashing in. The seashore is something anyone, young or old, can enjoy.

One example of this is the Vagabonds of Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin. In addition to their interest in cars, their school marks must remain passing. Also, one of the many projects which the Vagabonds have embarked on is a hub cap identification program that stopped hub cap stealing by other youths dead in its tracks. Honorable Senator Wiley remarked - Whitefish Bay Hot Rod Club - Antidote to Delinquency. - Gerald Axelson IX-1 - THE BLIZZARD The crisp, sharp, icy cold wind streaks down the barren wastes picking up snow and hurling it against the face like a thousand knives. It beats against the buildings with unrelenting strength, determined to destroy the small structures which stand in its path. It piles the snow against the small objects in an attempt to crush them and when this fails, drops the temperature to thirty or forty degrees below zero. Racing down the plains, it continues its mad fury, bent on destroying everything in it’s path. Finally after many miles of ruthless destruction it dies, and becomes the small wind it was before. - Richard Smeltzer 9-3 - OUR TRIP INTO THE PAST An aura of colour spread across the prairie sky as the sun gently slid behind the far horizon. Just as the deep shadows of the setting sun blended with the velvet blackness of night, a bright needle of light streaked across the sky, circled and started a slow descent toward a small concrete platform. It wa s the long awaited moment; Professor Harris, George and Chris MacEwan were just arriving back from their trip back to the Napoleonic War. The purpose of this journey had been to change history. Their plan was to take back modern arms and help the French defeat the British. Then, with a blinding flare of light and a roar like thunder, the time craft landed. Immediately two men jumped up to the craft and waited for the three men to make their appearance. With a low rumble the door opened to reveal Profess¬ or Harris, Chris, and George MacEwan. Within seconds questions were hurled at them. What was it like? What happened? Will you go back again? Did you succeed? The Professor, after some difficulty, quieted the group and proceeded to answer the questions. ' •What was it like? . . Well, it’s difficult to tell you. All I can say is, first you fear the roar of the engines. Then everything goes black, I have no idea what it is like. Once the instruments start you go to sleep and wake up at your destination, answered the Professor. Continued on next page. LITERARY 5Q. OUR TRIP INTO THE PaST - (Continued) What happened, and did we succeed? intervened Chris. No we didn ' t, but what can you expect with the Professor? To start with we lost him., ' and-- when, we finally located him he had joined the British. Meanwhile we had enlist¬ ed with the French. Right then and there ' we wanted to go back, but a British soldier approached and took,Harris away saying they wanted to see the new , weapons he possessed. We didn ' t see him for two days. Then, in mid-battle;, he rode up and opened fire on us. The ' battle was easily won and we were taken prisoners. The next day we were taken to the General, and guess who the General turned out to be ... Yours truly,” commented the Professor. And when we wanted to leave, continued George, he claimed he was having fun being a soldier, but we finally persuaded him. We mad9 our escape, using Harris as a hostage, and made our way back here as fast as possible. As for going back again, piped up Chris, yes, but one thing ' s sure. We don ' t intend to change history. Once is enough for anyone. With that they went into the house near the landing platform, making plans for their next journey.

Only time could answer these questions. She had done it before, of course, in a warm swimming pool where she could stop when she was tired. These questions were still spinning around in her mind when the starting gun sounded. When she was about fifty yards from the shore her boat joined her. Soon she wondered how far she had gone. The crawl was getting monotonous so she..changed to the breast stroke. Using these two strokes, she overcame the monotony but,, soon recognized another feeling. She was getting tired. Soon she was begging to get out, but her instructor wouldn ' t let her. She had to keep, swimming or.sink. Finally the .end came. .Jane didn ' t come in firpt nor did she come in second; but she had learned a far “more important-lesson,: Finish what you start.” When she was presented the medal for being the youngest swimmer to. finish the one mile.Chestermere swim, Jane had to pay. tribute to those who had made her continue.

Majestic and beautiful, with the sun glistening on their snowcapped peaks,, they look, like jewels reaching up to the sky. On a cloudy day the mountains are lost from view, but, if there are.only a few clouds in the sky, just their tops will be missing, as if playing hide and seek with the sun. The grandeur of these mountains is enough to lift the spirits of the saddest person. - Elaine Bramall 9-3 -
