Copp fCoachJ. also was a high scorer for the team. He could stop every man that came down the floor with the ball, by his speedy and tricky checking, and pass it to his mate sleeping under the opponents' basket. Hewitt was a very tricky man, and a good ball handler. His shot was sure and his close checking made him a good defence man. Matthews was the centre, jumping editor of this magazine. He was always on that part of the floor where the play was the hottest. Mann, a newcomer to basketball, proved himself an asset to his team. Steen was an allffirefsurefshot artist around the basket as well as a snappy dribbler and swift passer. With this team of Juniors, it looks as if we shall have a smart Senior team next season.

OETRY AUTUMN Thomas McGuigan, Sp.1 Nature held a grand masquerade, And all the trees came for the fun, In red and golden leaves arrayed, Their gay costumes made by the Sun. The niaples came with hats of redg The oaks with acorns filled their hair, The pine covered with green her head To make a sight of beauty rare. The pumpkins came all orangefhued, While the corn was flaxen yellow, The apples were all honeyfdewed, And the harvestfmoon was mellow. The crickets supplied the melody, While the grasshoppers jumped around. Uh, such a night for memory, Where happiness and joys abound! Not a moment of time was lost, Every one was happy and gay, And then, alas, came cold Jack Frost, Who chased the merry throng away. Dk PF Pl! Pk THE FROST FAIRIES Helen Mayo, 2G The frost is like a fairy dream. Cloaking the world in silver reams, Like thousands of diamonds or twinkling stars, . The whole world shines like the planet Mars. The cracking of frost is like a silvery bell, The whispering of fairies in some shaded dellg And moonlightffrosted snow so bright Reminds one of some fairy sprite. The frost is just a laughter land of laughter light For these little folk who dance in the bright moonlightg So, some evening when you are weary gazing over a world of snow, Peep out through your window at fairy land below. Sixty-two NIGHT Elsie White, Sp.I A lilt of soft elusive music here and thereg A breath of faint seductive lilac fills the airg A glowing moon which smiles with radif ance fair- Enchanting night! The lacy trees stand out against the depthless blueg The plaintive pleading of the frog is always newg And other fascinating creatures whisper too- Oh, breathless night! Oh, sympathizing Witness of our wild' est dreamsg Vv'e find thee soothing to our troubled hearts it seemsg For through the densest cloud, we see the moonlight gleams- Uplifting night! Pk lk Pk Pk THE JOYS OF SPRING George Bush, 10 It will soon be spring againg The birds will take the wing againg The crickets will sing, And the grasshoppers spring From place to place. The bees will hum. And streams will run. The snow will thaw, And the wind won't be raw, Because it will be spring again. Now June is here and summer is nearg And, to us so dear, comes the welcome cheer Cf the birds that sing both loud and clear. The trees are all in bud again, And woodland flowers in bloom again, So let us share nature's joys And shout like happy schoolboys, Because the Spring is here again. EASTERN ECHO
