YEAR BOOK, 1955 Page 21 V ARTS Diana Watson — Full of school spirit, Di is an enthusiastic pupil in gym classes, Captain of the Form Basketball Teann, mennber of the Second Basketball Squad, staunch supporter of the Beta Kappa and our Secretary-Treasurer. Good luck at Channberlain in Boston next year. MARCO You all have seen that little dog Of black and white, who comes to school. Marco Polo is her name But she comes to work, and not to fool. This pup ' s maths are good, they say For she can add one bone to two, And get a total in one day Unparalleled by me or you. Our hearts go out to Marco dear ; So do our lunches, I ' ve heard tell. Her air is meek, her eyes so brown ; She ' s loved and petted — fed so well ! Our small student leaves this year, Matriculation is her aim. The future calls to Marky dear, We all feel sure she ' ll win us fame. And so it is with heartfelt grief We say So Long for a little while To a mascot who, for a time so brief, Sat so loyal in our classroom aisle.

YEAR BOOK, 1955 Page 23 FORM lA REPORT On September eight, 1954, Our class, lA, was seen at our door; With Martha as President, Donna as Vice, The rest of the class were as quiet as mice. First came our picnic, at the school farm. Where we caused our teachers distress and alarm; Singing and laughing we went on our way, And tired we were at the end of the day. In October when leaves are off every tree. We played basketball with our rivals IVB ; The game was terrific, and spirits were high, We lost by one point, oh how we did sigh ! When Ramabai came, the weeks when we give To children in India to help them to live ; Each girl in lA gave all she could spare, And we were the first to turn in our share. And then came the season of singing good cheer, And everyone knew that Christmas was near ; Our form had a party to bid our farewell. And say to each person a Joyeux Noel. ' The Soft-Hearted Ghost was our form ' s next endeavour, I am sure you ' ll admit we were all very clever; Lynn and Isolde were there to direct us, And the rest of the school came in to inspect us. And now you have read a report written here, Of all our activities throughout the year; Mrs. Atkins who taught us all year in lA, Now truly deserves a long holiday. CLASS IB In September, back to school ; Where IB class could meet ; We each trooped in with a happy smile, And quickly chose a seat. We hadn ' t been there long, I ' m sure, When prefects were employed: And then our picnic at the farm W hich was certainly enjoyed.
