24 THE ORACLE To the RC. 0.7. Clouds of war, like vultures With claws of hate outspread, Are hovering ever lower To cover o'er the dead. Their wings are slowly battered By birds that larger be- And manned by Our Brave Birdmenf, T kfre guarding you and me. rg.. one Dafzh 72i9Lf an QOMAOI4 The nigkt was dark, and peace had de- sce d Un an uneventful day, For Tommies and ferries had quickly suspended The fight, - so to say. ,All lights were deadg not a bright star was flickering, In the distance could be heard The low, steady hum of an airplane's bickering, And the people from sleep were stirred. To the gunsfv and the search lights were seeking That lone approaching foe, Searching the heavens high, with dark- ness reeking, See in the distance that glow. ' T he beam stands stillf, the aircraft guns fired At the ferries, daring plane. When the smoke had cleared and the gunners retired, Down from the sky it came. The night was dark, and peace had de- scended On on uneventful day, For Tommies and ferries had quickly suspended The fight, - so to say. -MARGARET LUTz God keep you safe, oh Birdmen, 'Neath His protecting wing, That you may soon to earth return Our freedorrfs song to sing. May these dark clouds of war Very soon be passed away, And peace and freedom reign supreme, Dear Lord, to Thee we pray. -ELMA R. BRENT 'Right ovefz gnglana The night has come, the bugles call And war clouds lower near, From tumbling skies the bombs fall 'roundg Who know the thought of fear? The sirens scream, the people know 'Tis Germans that are here, But British fight, in honour die, Knowing not the thought of fear. But let them come, we shall not flag, For we can rout them fast, And there's no doubt about the end, We shall win out at last! -ARLENE SCHLUETER GRADE 10 g......51.1.... Snow flakes must have plenty of fun Falling from the sky, Trying to dodge each other Then landing by and by. They make the earth look brighter, In many different ways, All these fluffy snowflakes That bring out children's sleighs. Everywhere they're falling, The earth looks bright and gay, They decorate all nature, Then slowly melt away. -DON WEBER - ROBT. RUGGLE

McDonagh. Even if the plot had been boring and the acting corny , the stage setting and costumes would have been enough to keep the interest of the onlookers. But it so happened that the plot wasn't a bit boring and, with the help of acting par excellence , every one had side- splitting trouble. Did you ever, while sitting in the audience, realize the effect you had on the actor or the different feel- ings and thoughts that run through his or her head? Let's use our imaginations for a moment to contemplate this. The actor tis familiar with every line, its tone of voice, and movement that accompanies it. He knows his cues, and at rehearsals, has almost lived the play. Every one has told him that the audience is in sym- pathy with him, and, if he becomes nervous, they will become uneasy, and no one has a good time. But those footlights are so bright, and the people, waiting impatiently for the curtain to rise, now look up critically. Thus a little swimming- pool for vagrant microbes forms under his collar--a hum of silence -an unfamiliar parched throaty feeling-and he hears his own voice ringing out the first line. Another voice rings back. This breaks the ice and he regains his self-control, realizing that not many in the audi- ence could do any better. The sec- ond speech should go over big, he knows it perfectly-but gosh! what is it? Whew! he could kiss the prompter! A glance behind the curtain finds Miss McDonagh smil- ing approvingly, but his fellow actor has made a faux pas . What's he going to do now? He's covered it over somehow without the audience even suspecting. This time it's a smile of mingled relief and admiration from behind the curtain. In Are You a Mason ? a certain male actor seemed anxious about his femininity complex, in other words, if his stockings and wig and face were on straight. Her cher papa and his son-in-law could be as embarrassed as they pleased and still be part of the act. It was hardly fair for the females of Are You a Mason ? , for with
