SCHOOL SPIRIT It ' s not to win or lose we care, It ' s not how much we boast or dare, But rather, it ' s the fight that counts, . . To summon up our every ounce, And make for Churchill High a name To clothe our corridors in fame. At competitions everywhere, We can be sure that Churchill ' s there. In track, to our supreme elation, We lead the high schools of the nation. Our well-known orchestra and choirs, The whole of Winnipeg admires. Students, sportsmen, musicians, all, Join our forces . . . heed our call, And add to Churchill ' s history, As we press on for Victory. MARY DOWNING SUMMER The Sportsman, August ' sixty, lay open at the page, On which a gleaming photograph displayed the latest rage, And Father, in his armchair, sat tallying his bills - - - After ten for Bobby ' s dentistry, and ten for Mother ' s pills. Three-fifty to the chimney-sweep for cleaning out the flues, We ' d have enough to join the ranks with outdoor barbecues. Strict abstinence from soda pop and ices on hot days, Must be enforced at least until dear Daddy gets a raise. Two-inch steaks on Sunday night, grilled with onion mix, Would mean Irish stew or hotdogs each of the other six. At last the night Father dear was capped and gowned, arrived, And with it came the neighbours whom we have on either side. Operation Steak-Bake, Dad elaborately defined As that requiring guidance from a scientific mind. Cooking-oil and charcoal, metal tongs and stainless grates. Fire permit, extinguisher, plastic cups and plates. . . . Operation Steak-Bake was a long-remembered sight; We saved Dad in the nick of time and dined on hash that night. Then Mother got the notion, as mothers usually do, That she should join her hubby and enjoy the outdoors, too. The Jones ' have their peonies, and so we must have ours . . . Mom turned her thoughts from pots and pans to gardening and flow ' rs. The peonies were rosy-pink, our house a pinky-tan, . . . So mother placed her seedlings around the garbage can. And for some unknown reason, we never will know why, We saw the crabgrass flourish, and the flowers always die. We tried insecticides, formaldehyde, basics and nitrates . . . Paris Green to send the bugs and beetles to their fates. But when we counted corpses, the worms alone were dead, So we weeded up the flowers, and grew the weeds instead. Today we ' re at the old routine the Sportsman still deplores, . . . For now, as I am writing this, the family is indoors. MARY DOWNING PAGE 76

THE SEEKER With each note its power ascended, rent the universes, conquered all realms through the force of its Spirit, Waves of majestic music surrounded him, overcame and uplifted him, as giving life to one dead. In that moment the substance of his being was transformed - - • he was instructed in greatness beyond his own existence . . . Once there, sealed within an inner self, transmitted to an inner ear, it would never leave him. He saw the lake, glory-garbed, and seeing it, he knew the ocean of its birth. With dawn and dusk, midnight and noonday he was intimate; their powers realized themselves in him. By the sweat of his brow he lived; often there were teams and lamentations. Yet he persisted in his striving, and achieved that which he sought. In him love germinated, grew, attained maturity, gave of its fruit without depletion. In his time he knew Faith to conquer Fear, Understanding to conquer Envy, Joy to conquer Sorrow. He journeyed without ceasing toward the Truth of his seeking, An discovered in all things Life, in all Life the manifestation of Love. MARY DOWNING Room 17, Grade 11 THE SUN and THE SEA The foam laughs and dances, Above the salty green sea And over it sunlight prances Merrily tripping free. No bonds of mortal making, Bind its airy soul, The sea is its for the taking, It ' s one and it is whole. Beneath the salty crests It shimmers and bubbles through Making pictures on the golden floor, Of it ' s travels through the blue. A coral reef shimmers red When sunlight ' s at it ' s best, A mermaid swims by guarding, A precious treasure chest. CASEY JOHANNESSON Room 31, Grade 8
