BONNIE BUCKSHAW, BOB FOSTER. The chimney tops are smoking, The wind is in the west. Children are skating on the ice, A thing that I love best. The train’s whistle is sounding Far, far away. It makes you think of wandering To places of to-day. Icicles bang from the roof tops, The wind blows in and about. Children are making a snowman— What fun it is to be out! Bonnie Bruckshaw Room 24, Grade VI Busy, busy Winnipeg As you start the day People going everywhere, Rushing every way. Children starting off for school, Parents leaving for their work. Come on, Now, let’s get busy. We really mustn’t shirk People going by us Wave a gay hello And workmen high above our heads Wave down to those below. Busy, busy Winnipeg, Another day begun. Where people work with happy hearts , Till sets another sun. Lesley Foster Grade VI, Room 24

IF I WERE A SAILOR If I were a sailor way out at sea, I’d care for nobody, nobody but me. I’d sit on the deck as happy as can be And shout to the world, ' Just look at n Under a shady beech-nut tree A village smithy stands. The smith is at his anvil With a horseshoe in his hand. The banging of the anvil Can be heard for miles around And tells the people of the valley That the smithy’s still around. In the quiet of an evening When another’s work is done, And the sun is sinking west -- Then the echo of the anvil carries on. Roberta Thompson, Grade V, Room 14 I’d let the others do all the work, While I’d sit on the deck with a happy smirk. I’d think that the world was made for me, The land, the sky, and all the sea. I’d go to the jungles of Africa fine, And look in hope for King Solomon’s mine. I’d visit all over this strange old world. I’d sail the seas like a floating bird. Brenda Witwicki, Grade V, Room 14

THE MINNEAPOLIS SYMPHONY On Wednesday, April 28, 39 students and Mr. White went to hear the Minneapolis Symphony. We had choice seats in the balcony. One of the.girls brought binoculars as Miss Crookshanks had suggested and we took turns looking at the different instruments. It was extremely helpful. The concert started out with a beauti¬ ful Italian Overture by Rossini which was enjoyed by everyone. Th en came the famous Unfinished Symphony by Schubert. Antal Do¬ rati, the conductor, explained that no one knew why he never finished it. Next, came the Concert for Orchestra. The Rhine Journey of Siegfried by Wag¬ ner was everyone’s favourite. An encore was given because of the great ovation it was given. The encore was a Russian Dance. We had a most enjoyable afternoon and we would like to thank the teachers for ar¬ ranging to let us go. No rah Sp ei gh t ho sal ee Au s tman Grade VIII, Room 22 The Mikado The biggest musical achievement this year was the school ' s produc tiofi of the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, ‘The Mika¬ do ' . It was presented for the students on March 30th, and for the public on March 31st., April 1st., and April 2nd. The principal roles were played by: The Kikado-Gerry Dougall; Pooh-Bah - Bob McFee; Ko-Ko - Don Wi. kler, Bob Van Tonger- loo ; Nanki-Poo - Ted Stebbling, Bob Macha- chek., Pish-Tush - Barry Smith, Jack Rady; Katisha - Barbara Gray; Y um-Yum - Gai 1 Stevenson, Ruth Horwitz; Pitti-Sing - Pat Bowman, He lie Kelemit; Peep-Bo - Betty Shale, Estelle Gordon. The performances went off extremely well. It is not often that a Junior High has so many people worthy of putting on such an excellent show. Every part was carried o it extremely well, and the cho¬ ruses Junior High school were so impressed by the performance that they have already made arrangements to put on an operetta at their school next year. What better com¬ pliment could the school be paid? Backstage, the students who did not take part were busy working on scenery, costumes and make-up. Mr. Love ana Mr. Caldwell were in charge of the set con¬ struction, whi le Miss Hodgson supervised the painting and Miss Clement was in charge of props.. The resultwwas astounding. The sets left absolutely nothing to be desired. Miss Hodgson also supervised the make-up. She was expert in the guiding of the inex¬ perienced students who took over th e make¬ up job. The school thanks these teachers. We also want to thank Mr. Lawson for working so hard not only in helping the castwwith the music, but in accompanying the operetta also; Miss McVeigh and Mr. Ko- zoriz for guiding the stage movements; Mr. Patterson and Miss Dickson lor the work they did on the dialogue; Miss Skremetka and Miss Baird for all th e work they di d on the costunes, and all the other members of the staff and student body who helped make the operetta a success. And now we would like to express our extreme thanks and appreciation tc Miss Crookshanks, who shouldered the bulk of the re spon si bi 1 i ty for the success of the oper¬ etta. It was through her tireless efforts that everything came out just right. We also want tc thank Mrs. Lyons, who, al¬ though not on tne school staff, went out of her way to help us with the accompaniment. An extra work of gratitude to the many Kel¬ vin students who performed in that school’s production of the Mikado, for giving their time to h el f the Earl Grey Cast. The operetta was aJ so a financial suc¬ cess, thanks to the students, for they sold in advance sales, 786 adult and 455 student tickets. The room which sold the most tickets was Room 13, a grade IX room. The elementary winner was Room 2 3. The total profit was $267.9 3. Good work kids! This operetta is a gcod example of what a Junior High Sciiool can accomplish when everyone pull s together and cooper¬ ates. Go cd luck to the Earl Grey on its n ex t op e re t ta. Do n Winkler
