The Sirocca THE GROWING GARDEN Twelve years ago, in the early sprlng, A handful of little seeds were sown; ' They were pressed into the soft, brown earth To await until the snow was gone. And so they nestled and slept in their bed; Till each heard the Soft spring call; Then they stretched and nodded their drowsy heads, For they each had to climb the stone wall. Careful hands coaxed, sunshine shone, , Gentle rains fell on each little seed; And soon above the soft, brown earth Many heads were there for Nature to feed. Days sped by, and the green shoots grew, Till at last they were climbing the wall, While watchful eyes and tender hands guarded, And hoped that they would not fall. And the keeper did not guard in vain; For as he was walking one morning, His gentle eyes fell on the garden wall Where little bright flowers were blooming. So we, the Seniors of Donelson, With the loving care we have had, Will strive to be a help to all In making this old world glad. And now we are adrift-where shall we anchor? To what sort of port shall we sail? I prayithat God, who loves us all, , Will help us never to fail. ' GENEVA CANADA. DONELISON SCHOOL CALENDAR, 1927-28 August 31eSchool officially opened.
