GRADE 8 TO THE TEACHERS The students of Room 19 wish to thank their patient and understanding teachers for an en¬ joyable and interesting year. Mr. Kozoriz has been an ideal room teacher, and also Science and Guidance teacher. Miss Greenway, an amia¬ ble person, has taught us English and Miss Campbell has made the characters in Literature seem very real. We have spent many enjoyable hours in Study Reading and Library with Miss Mitchell, which subjects were helped greatly by Mr. Belton’s classes in Spelling. Mr. Al- pert has given us much more knowledge of our country’s history and we would like to thank him especially for his extra attention. Mr. McLeod has done his best to get exemptions for everyone in Mathematics, and Mr. Burns has un¬ wound a whole new world to us through the French language. Miss Hodgson, in Art, and Miss Crookshanks in Music, have given us much enjoyment. Miss Baird and Miss Skremetka have been very patient in teaching the girls Home Economics, while Mr. Caldwell and Mr. Love taught the boys ‘shops’. Miss Campbell and Mr. Kozoriz have put us through painful but gay antics in Physical Training all year. Again we wish to say a big ’thank you’ for a most interesting and memorable year.

INDIA India is a land of contrasts. In the south the people are small dark and illiterate. In the north the people are tall, fair and versa¬ tile. The hindus in the south have many diff¬ erent languages, over 300 in all. The most spoken of these languages is Hindustani. But the Mohammedans in the north have only one language, Urdu. The Hindus worship many gods, of whom the chief are Vishnu, Siva and Krishna. These three have been formed into a Trinity, and now are worshipped as one god. The Mohammedans believe in Allah who is much like our God. They also believe that Mohammed was his prophet. ’There is no God but God, and Mohammed is his prophet’. The Hindus main meal consists of curry and rice. Rice is quite common in Canada, but curry is not. It is a dish made of any meat except beef. It also contains many hot spices and vegetables, and has a khaki colour. The Mohammedans eat with a mild form of curry a flat wheat cake known as a piratta. They also eat rice, but are not allowed to eat pork or drink wine. The Hindu language, Hindustani, is hard and gutteral. It is undeveloped and crude, while Urdu, the Mohammedans’ language is soft, throaty and musical. This language is even more developed than our English. Urdu is now the official language of all India and Pakis¬ tan. The North-west of India is called Pakistan now and is the breeding ground of the Mohamme¬ dans. South of Pakistan is the land of the Hindus called India. In Canada the climate all year around is divided into two, the cold weather and the hot. In India the seasons are wet and dry. From September to December is the monsoon or rainy season. Then almost everyday it will rain at least three inches. The rest of the year is terribly hot and dry, except in the hills and mountains. The people themselves regard this opening of the Heavens very philosophically. They know that they cannot grow rice, their staff of life, without water at least ten inches deep. VISIT OF PRINCESS ELIZABETH What a wonderful day in the lives of the people of Winnipeg! Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh were coming. Winnipeg had been preparing for this visit for months. When she arrived I was at the radio listening to her arrival. Later my father drove us down to see her. We got out of the car on Osborne and waited. Soon we saw her come by in the car. She was really beautiful! After that we went home. Later at night when she was coming from Wildwood I went and saw her again on Pembina Highway. It was dark out and the car was all lit up. What a sight! This is one day I’ll never for get nor will Winnipeg.

DEATH OF A KING The King is dead - Long live the Queen When these words were heard February sixth of this year on the radio and printed in the press, whole nations felt a deep sense of shock and grief. Our King, whom we had come to feel we knew as a friend, was dead. The news was greeted with disbelief, followed by keen sympathy for the Royal family. In acknowledging George VI as our King we gave allegiance to our country and respect to the Mother land, England. For a while it was as if everything had stopped in the land and persons everywhere felt drawn to each other because they shared the same loss. It was a historic moment because George VI who has already become knows as the good king ' , had taken up his heavy duties when he did not expect to and had not been specially trained from childhood to undertake. During the war and ever since he had devoted himself to his duties with courage. His death brought home to the people what a good king he had been. Saluting our new Queen, we feel a deep sense of loyalty, not only because of England and Canada but because she is the daughter of George VI. Nations all over the world paid tribute to George, the good king. Canada observed the same period of mourning as Britain. Many countries held a day of mourning to show res¬ pect. Many kings and ambassadors came to the funeral of England ' s monarch and stood sadly by when he was buried in Westminster Abbey. Few kings have had such heavy duties to bear . Few kings have carried out their duties with such courage and loyalty. Few kings Have been so loved. In Canada we remember him with pride! Mourning for King George VI is mixed with pride and confidence -- pride in his record as man and monarch and confidence that Elizabeth, his daughter and our Queen, has inherited his love of country and duty.
