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. ' ' - Richard Smeltzer. 9-3 - DETERMINED Jane was quietly sitting in the shade. She had her bathing suit on, ready to go; or was she? Was she going to finish first? Was she even going to finish? 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. I should know, because I am Jane. ' , . .. ■... •- Dorothy Northern 9-1 - . , T 7 , . ' i ' .THE MOUNTAINS FROM CaLGARY If you are up early on a cloudless morning, and if you cross Centre Street Bridge ? to the west you can see the Reeky Mountains. 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 -

49 . LITER A R Y HOT RODDING - (Continued) C. Seme hot rod clubs have a rule that the members’ school marks must be of good standing. 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.
