Squeeze near the front, Teachers gone, Use compact and then Books piled up; For a comb hunt. Out of the door, Jam hats down, Down the stair, Fling coats on. Into the cloak-room, Grab our books, To comb our hair. Then, be gone! BERYL JANE OGDEN, Form III (Clan Ross)

The Frozen Brook The little brook with over-hanging willows, Winding its way through shady nooks and dells. Babbling over pebbles and under bridges, Flows on and down the grassy hills. But winter changes all. The brook is now a shining path of ice. And the willows are drooping low with snow, The hills are covered with blankets of white. Which the sun sets all aglow. ISABEL CLARK, Form I (Clan Stewart).
