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

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?’

WHO IS HE? He’s the two legged phonograph from Tennessee, He’s the back woods boy from University. He’s the guy with the crazy sneer, The elastic legs and rubber rear, He’s the guy with the guitar shaped hips. The phony side burns and liver lips, He’s the guy with the revolving pelvis. That’s right — you guessed his name is Elvis. Joan Curry — Room 28. There was a young man named Parr, Who walked in front of a car, He crossed at a bend And that was the end Of that foolish young man named Parr. Dean Sargeant -- Room 19. Little Beauty of the plains, Sparkling eyes and tumbling mane, Fairer than the prairie rose, And Oh, so lovely in repose. Oh little horse I think you know, That, I love you truly so. Dianne Gudmundson -- Room 19. THE COUNTRY I WOULD LIKE TO VISIT. If I were given a ticket to go to any place on the globe, my choice would be Japan. Last summer, my aunt went to Japan for a three week vacation, which she thoroughly enjoyed. She said that Japan is a strange but intriguing country. It is made up of a group of islands. Their climate is ideal, for it doesn’t go from one extreme to another. If a person from America were planning to live in Japan perman¬ ently he would have to get used to many strange customs. For example you must take your shoes off before entering the house. The Japanese homes haven’t much furniture except a few tables. When addressing another person, we in America would say ' Hello , but the Japanese instead, bow very low. To learn how to eat with chopsticks is quite an art. The Japanese main dish is rice. Rice is grown in Japan and is one of their chief products. My aunt said that a Japanese woman does a man’s work. She does heavy work outside as well as tending to the chores of the household. The average Japanese person is smaller than the average American. When my aunt hailed a taxi a man came running up with a two-wheeled Ghee Cart commonly called a Rickshaw. A longtime ago Jap¬ anese families sold their daughters because they were not considered to be very valuable. Curry Bay has a large attraction for tourists. Since the end of World War Two, Japan’s main sources of money have been tourist trade, farming and industrial parts, household nicknacks, clothing and toys. The Japanese labourers are not paid very well. 34
