ELEMENTARY POETRY WINNER - Grades 4, 5 6 SCHOOL Now I like work, Now I like play And I like school every day. Now some kids do not think the same, And they play hookey and they play games. The teachers try to do their best, Four months a year we have our tests. Now let us try to do our best, And let the teachers have a rest. Charlene Rijok - Room 9. WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO?? You turn on the radio to hear a song And you know right then you did something wrong, You turn on T.V. to watch the news, And all you can hear is ' Blue Suede Shoes’! You look in the paper to see what you’ll find, It reads ' Elvis Presley’, you’re out of your mind! You look at the movies, you think you’ll go It’s bound to be a very good show. A glimpse of the title, it just can’t be tiue It’s all Rock and Roll, what’s this world coming to? You’ll play a record. No. Don’t be a fool, The only record around is ' Don’t Be Cruel’. Sit down at the table, you’ll eat some stew Then in comes your friend, singing ' I’m Sticking with You’. You walk outside to see what you can see, You hear from a distance ' Come, Go with Me’. By now you’re sure you don’t know what do do ' Yes’, you think, ' What is this world coming to?’

INTRODUCTION TO THE LITERARY SECTION The Literary Section is a most interesting and important division of our Year Book, as it is represented by every Grade in the school. A contest was organized to encourage the pupils, and titles for the stories and poems were suggested to give the students ideas for the basis on which to write. I would like to thank especially those students who contributed to the contest and made our section a success. The stories and poems on the following pages were written by you ----- so that we all can enjoy them. Donna Creedon. JUNIOR HIGH POETRY WINNER - Grades 7, 8 9. THE COUNTRY I WOULD LIKE TO VISIT The country I would like to visit Is the beautiful country of France, Where everything is so exquisite And people sing and dance. The beautiful capital stands so tall With its high Cathedral towers, The great enchanting St. Paul With its courtyards full of flowers. Its gay little streets so crowded by day, So dim and romantic at night Where happy children run and play Oh, what a heart-warming sight. The country side is so warm and green With rivers running wild, And forests of greenwood to be seen Some standing and some piled. This country has seen many a war And been destroyed for many a mile, So wickedly bombed and bloodily torn But still has come back with a smile. I long to be there, so happy and free So full of song and of dance, I long to be there so I may see The beautiful country of France. John Skoog -- Room 17. 31

TO THE GRADES ROOM 27 The Year Book is a special event, On our year’s work it does comment. It shows the pictures of different classes, Of everyone, teachers, lads and lasses. It devotes one section to the grads, The senior group, who start the fads. For some of us it’s hard to believe That some day soon we will have to leave. To go to rise to greater heights, To which we hopefully set our sights. So work hard, Grads, and you will find, That life to you can be quite kind. Lorraine Crofts -- Room 27. THE A,B,C’s OF ROOM 13. The teachers say we are good But to me the truth is understood For when the teacher leaves the door That’s when we all take the floor. ' Room 27’, that’s what they say, ' I could keep them all day’. When they’re out we have a ball When they’re in we’re quiet as dolls, One in the corner, chewing gum, The others are quiet, playing dumb, Passing notes to and fro. (They wonder why our work is slow) Making faces at each other, Then throwing erasers, oh brother! You really don’t know what is heaven Until you step into Room 27. A is for the Angels of Room 13. B is for Boone whom we think real keen. C is for Cramming before each test, D is for Dancing which most boys protest. E is for Errors of which we have none? F is for French that is rarely done. G is for Gum that is chewed by many H is for Heroes, have we any? I is for Ideas we have through the year, J is for June when Graduation comes near. K is for our Knowledge that we try to double, L is for the Lobby which causes much trouble. M is for Maths of which some are in doubt. Lorraine Fry — Room 27. SCHOOL DAYS Teachers certainly earn their fees, Trying to teach us our A, B, C’s. Lessons to make us understand If we don’t heed, outside we stand. Every day we walk a mile Just to see their friendly smile Although they do not smile too often On some rare days they tend to soften. N is for Notes which we pass about. O is for Operetta, H.M.S. Pinafore. P is for the Paper all over our floor. Q is for the Questions that always come up, R is for the Rock ’n Roll Sessions when we Rip it up, S is for Mr. Stark, our ruler supreme. T is for Teachers who keep us on the beam, U is for University some hope to go V is for Vacations which we love so. W is for the Work that is done through the year, X is the mark on eXams that we fear. Y is for our Year Book, we hope a success, Z is for the Zero we get when we guess. Donna Creedon, Gayle Hanchark — Room 13. Lorrine Crofts — Room 27. One day down the street Came the patter of feet There was a huge growl And a very small howl And the dog came home with the meat. Bob Tillotson — Room 19. 33
