EAST ST. PAUL Here’s to a school that’s on the ball. The school that I mean is East St. Paul. Teachers, students and much more. Make school a pleasure, not a bore. This term has meant a lot to me. And many more I hope there’ll be. Compared to other schools around. There’s no comparison, I have found. So here’s to good old E. S. P. The school that’s right for you and me. When we leave we won’t forget The things we learned, the friends we met. KAREN BIRKETT. Grade 9. A NIGHT TO REMEMBER It was a night so grim and cold, A night that scared both young and old. The storm it came, the rain did pour. The wind it howled, the sky did roar. Shutters were banging. Screams were heard. Trees were falling. And houses were burned. Shadows appeared in cranny and nook; A night to remember with only one look. By sun up it quieted. The damage was done. The town did not murmur. Not even a hum. The storm was a mystery Unsolved as yet. The work of the devil. Many will bet. JUNE NEIL Grade 11. THE CROOK It took my mind some twenty days. Some twenty days it took. To cram some knowledge in my head And store it in a nook. It took an exam on the twentieth day. The twentieth day it took. To make my hair with fear turn grey: I cheated like a crook. BOB SCOTT Grade 12. LITERARY EDITORS NOTE I would like to thank the students for taking the time to write material for this column. Also deserving thanks are the teachers, who made these contributions possible. I feel sure that the following materials will put none of the students to shame. ROSEMARY EASTON Literary Editor

AS I REMINISCE As I sit here in our downtown apartment, watching our two boys playing with their factory-made toys, I think of my own childhood days and of how I was never content to stay indoors. Our boys do not have any pets, as pets are not allowed in an apartment. When I was a youngster, I made my own toys and played in the good, clean, country air. The fields and woods were my playground. Our boys have to play in the street or in a crowded playground. I can remember how we boys would build small animal traps to catch squirrels and rabbits, and how we would sit patiently for hours, waiting for an animal to fall into one. When we did catch one, we would take it home and tame it. It seemed as though we had a new pet every day. Everywhere I went, my collie dog was not far behind. I can still see the way he would sit quietly when we went trapping animals. When we did catch our prey, he would jump all over me with joy. When the soft, clean snow of winter covered the ground, I would set snares in the bush to catch bush rabbits, which I sold to the fox farm for a few cents. My dog, being quite strong, would pull my toboggan through the snow, stopping at each snare as I put the captured rabbit onto the load. As I sit here and recall my youth, I can see all the thrills and pleasures which my boys are missing, and probably will never know about. RAY JENSEN--Grade 10 THE STORM It was a sultry evening. There was a slight wind, and grey clouds were forming in the heavens. A mist was falling, and the wind became stronger. All of a sudden, a crack of thunder pierced my ears. It started to rain, and then to hail. It was pathetic watching windows, plants, and flowers break under the heavy strain of the storm. The stones were quite large, and they stung as they were hurled against me. The sky darkened as the ground turned white. Flowers were broken, and plants were smashed beyond recognition. Trees and branches were strewn along the ground. The vegetables in the garden were smashed to a pulp. It was the worst storm in twenty years, and I don’t think I’ll ever forget it. ADRIAN KOLTON--Grade 9
