A BIT OF ADVICE When you put your nose Close to a rose To smell of its sweet perfume You would be wise To use your eyes And first look inside the bloom. For there you might see A bumble bee Busily filling his thirst. To get stung is a shame But you’d be to blame For the bee, you see, was there first. —Sharon Wysoskey, Grade IX INNOCENT ME? It was in the classroom during a spare And I was slouching in my chair. The teacher was walking up and down, Reminding me of a clown. When I found an eraser on the floor; No one seemed to need it more But I can make good use of it. If I am just straight enough to hit! Aiming . . . watching ... is teacher near? Oh! How he jumped when I hit his ear! First, of course, at me he looks But I am innocent; reading a book! — Lynn Criddle, Grade X SPRING March 21st is the beginning of spring An awakening of all natures’ things April brings with it many showers Which then results in May flowers Seasons may come, seasons may go, But spring is the season when every¬ thing grows. —Greta Boger, Grade IX MY TRUCK I drive a black Ford truck that uses gas and oil, And when it gets hot inside it has to boil. It has a V8 engine And three gears ahead; It takes me many a mile And brings me home to bed. — Winston Archer, Grade X

SUNSET Far to the west the sun sinks below Orange, red and yellow, what a beautiful show. Like a ball of fire to us it seems Vividly imagined in our dreams. Lovers watch in fascination With a wonderous sensation. To the farmer, day is done. For the young, fdn is merely begun. With one stride dusk has settled Quietly and darkly over the land Everywhere like coal dust scattered From God’s loving hand. —Winnifred Gatrell, Grade IX STUDENT’S LAMENT This morning was dark and dreary, Although the sun did shine. For every mind was weary Because school began at nine. Now hearts are getting lighter, The minds are feeling free. The day is now much brighter, For it is half past three. —Jimmy Campbell, Grade X FAREWELL TO SCHOOL Farewell now school, I’ll miss you so, I’ll think of you as on I go. As I go into the world around, No matter where I may be found. Remembering back to my school years I will sit and remember those days in tears. The fun we had in those jolly ways Those joyous times of olden days. Now when the end is drawing near, We look on life with a feeling of fear. I’ll think of you wherever I dwell So now dear school I ' say, “farewell.” — Josephine Parker, Grade XII

WINTER MORNHSIG I walk. Under my feet Crystals, Myriad, Sparkling, Snapping with cold. Over my head The sky. Dome of blue Shot with benediction of breaking day. By my path, Trees. Stark, upreaching Mute arms for the coming light. White, Spun filigree Of lace Silver embroidered branches. Sound, Harsh, Metal’s agonized rending, Sparrows’ chirp. Air Cold, frosty Shocking the senses to reality. Life, drama, beauty. Go 3- —May Edwards, Grade XI A SCHOOL DAY Now I am just a boy in school All day I watch the girls and drool. The teacher yells and I awake To find she was telling of Francis Drake. But when four o’clock finally rolls around I’m awake and down the stairs I bound Off to the corner to have a drink Then I go back home and try to think. At night I’m studying what I don’t know, When a friend comes along, and we go to the show. Some of it’s work, some of it’s play This is the way I pass a school day.
