INTRODUCTION TO THE LITERARY SECTION The literary section in a year book is very important. A yearbook must have an account of events of the past year, but literary work shows work of the imagina¬ tion . While sports activities satisfy our physical needs, music, art and literature provide the mind with enjoyment, thought, and an opportunity of expressing ideas through these mediums. It is necessary therefore, for us to learn to read and write wc.ll, and, in so doing, to learn skill in self expression. This is important in our future life when we enter the working world. In Canada to¬ day there are many opportunities for the reading of good books and the appreciation of li terature. In choosing the contributions, legibi¬ lity of writing, clarity of detail, use of descriptive words, and interest value, were the qualities considered. Some of these contributions are published in conjunction wi th a Literary Contest held by the Commit¬ tee, and others were taken from the regular class work as being outstanding. Each grade is represented in this Section. We sincerely hope that the reading of these selections will prove as enjoyable to you as it did to the members of the Year Book Staff working on it.

I must use a shirt for paper, blood for ink, and a sharp twig for a pen. The reason I am writing this is so that some¬ one, somewhere, may find it, read it, and sympathize with me. In that way I may be remembered by at least one person. I do so much want to be remembered. This year is 1790. That is all I know. I have lost track of time. I believe it will soon be dawn. I detect a smal l ray of light trickling through the solitary window so high upon the wall of the dungeon. It is the- ' last dawn I shall ever see, f cr this morning I am to di e, on the guillotine, all because o f o ne unfortunate remark. A slip of the tongue, that was all. Before I begin, I must say that I al¬ ways have been, and stil l am a strong sup¬ porter of the monarchy. However, I am no t particularly brave, and o, after the re¬ volution, wh en supporters of the King were being executed by the hundreds, I pretended to be a supporter of the Republic. How¬ ever, the Republicans were making many in¬ quiries, and my position was becoming rather precarious, when I happened to run into a boyhood friend that I had known back in the town of Ajaccio, on the island of Corsica, where I was born. As he had not seen me for many years, he did not suspect that I was, in reality, a monarchist, and took me into his home. When inquiries were made, he vouched for m}
