INTRODUCTION TO THE LITERARY SECTION GRANT SAUNDERS Perhaps the most interesting and important division of the Year Book is the Literary Section. In it, every grade in the school should be represented. Because we have been fortunate enough to have individual pictures this year, we were forced to shorten the Literary Section. However, this caused the Year Book Staff to be less lenient than in previous years in the judging of the contributions. This may be why we were disappointed in the con¬ tributions received from the student body, for they did not meet with the high standard of Literature that the pupils of Earl Grey are capable of producing. To encourage the pupils to write and to supply ideas for them to enlarge upon, we held two Literary contests, one fot the Elementary and another for the Junior High. Each contest had two secti¬ ons, a poetry competition and a short story competition. The entries submitted were judged for legibili¬ ty of writing, clarity of detail, use of descriptive words and interest value. The J unior High English teachers and the Year Book Staff were the judges. Because there was no winner for the Elementary short story competition we selected two poetry winners. The best poem from Grades II and III was sub¬ mitted by Lorraine Holland Room 1, Grade III and for Grades IV, V and VI, Glenna Nyguvest, Room 54, Grade VI took first place. The winner of the Junior High poetry competition was Elaine Guillemin, Room 11, Grade IX and Moyra Milliken, Room 28, Grade VII captured top honours in the short story competition. Congratulations to all. We sincerely hope that the reading of these selections will prove worthwhile to you. You help¬ ed make the Year Book a success by writing them; so enjoy them. ELEMENTARY POETRY WINNER GRADES 4, 5 6 “ SPRING ” The time of year that I love best, Is beautiful, joyous spring. When flowers will grow and burst their buds. And the gay little birds will sing. The children are gaily playing Upon the grass so green. With ropes and balls and marbles, Oh, there’s so much to be seen! Winter may bring its pleasures, Summer and Autumn too But spring is the season that I like best. Don’t you think so too? GLENNA NYGUVEST ROOM 24 GRADE 6 JUNIOR HIGH POETRY WINNER “PEACEFUL SUMMER” The grass is waving to the windows From the fields so warm and green. The summer sun reflects its glory In the panes so bright and clean. The clouds are drifting in the heavens Blown by breezes fresh and fair,- And bees are humming in the clover Peaceful nature is everywhere. The flowers sway in gentle slumber A ripening berry nods its head, The rippling stream, in heat of summer Seeks the shelter of the wood. A creeping vine climbs over shutters Lacy patterns for to make, The lilac ' s dreaming in the garden. Dreaming nature does not wake. ELAINE GUILLEMIN ROOM 11 GRADE 9
