SURE SIGNS OF SPRING' Sure signs of spring, some poets whine, Are tiny snowdrops white, Or maybe just a robin red - And foolish people bite! This may apply to far-off lands Like France or England green, But in this lovely land of ours A difference is seen! The poets on our prairies fair The truth do never wheeze, The surest sign of spring we get Is a little western breeze! It whizzes oler the fields of weeds And takes the dirt that's there- And the farmers sit and cuss at it And tear their greying hair! Then to Regina it doth come CAnd you can't see half a block! 5 And see we birds or snowdrops? NO! They're killed by flying rock! So let me sit in a house in spring And watch the fields blow by- That sign of spring is the only thing That affirms it's in the sky. KEITH STILLWELL, IBA. There is the tale of the unfortunate stock-gambler who can- not look at even a magazine now because the sight of the margins drives him crazy.

As Marion Searle was walking thru' the park yesterday she came across a small boy crying bitterly, and when she enquired the reason he told her that his shoes hurt him. Why, she cried, looking down at his feet, You have your shoes on the wrong feet. Boo-hoo! he sobbed I haven't got any other feetf' D. Cross Cafter dancejz Oh! Jim do I look all right? Jim: Yes, but your looks always were deceiving. A Teacher Soliloquizes. Stupid thou art and dumbell, and shalt be Here another year, because I fear thy nature It is too full o' the milk of human laziness To catch the only way, thou should'st not fail Art not so very dumb but without The ambition should attend it, what thou would'st highly That wouldst thou easily, would ,work hard And yet, Wouldst get high mai ,nouldst have, O student, That which cries, Thou wouldst work hard if thou pass, And that which thou'rt too lazy for to do Must not be left undone. Stay in tonight That I may bawl you out for fair, And chastise with some hundred lines or more All that impedes thee from thy pass matric. From which the subjects which we teach do seem To have thee barr'd withal. QApologies to Shakespearej 114
