THE ORACLE 75 lesson, entitled Une Entrevue which he had memorised while still in school. As we sit back in our seats in French period, concentrating on French or the future, as the case may be, this often crosses our mind: What shall I be doing ten years from now ? Or, in ten years from now, as We sit back in our office swivel-chair or teacher's chair or senate bench, we may think: W hat was I doing ten years ago '? Well, the answer to the latter would probably be: Oh, I know, we were studying French and Geome- try' and Latin. French was my favourite subject though. As I think it over, I can vaguely remem- ber something about Silvio who slipped on the orange peeling, and Millette, the stenographer, who shot a hole in Pierrille's favourite painting. Great days, those l -J 1-:AN KLINCK LE CANOTAGE L'Indien de l'Amerique du Nord glissait sur l'eau dans son canot de bouleau depuis longtemps avant que nous l'eussions connu. Le canot fut son embarcation pour occupa- tion et pour plaisir. Aux deserts du Nord le canot est encore le bateau d'usage ordinaire. Comme un sport, le canotage a pris sa place au Canada parmi les plus populaires des pass-etemps d'ete. Le Canada parseme de ses lacs et de ses rivieres est particu- lierement approprie aux sports aqueux et de ceux le canotage est des mieux developpes et des plus populaires. Bien qu'il y ait quelques perils dans ce sport, comme un passe- temps le canotage fascine beaucoup les jeunes gens du pays. -WILMA WIECHMAN, GRADE XIII LE CANADA Nous voyons cette terre, que nous appelons maintenant Le Canada couvert de ses forets, de ses erables magniflques, de ses chenes noueux, et de beaucoup d'autres especes de bois de grande valeur. ca et la au Canad-a il y a beaucoup de beaux lacs. De grands fleuves rugissants se precipitent se jeter dans la mer. Attires des belles routes de notre pays beaucoup de voyageurs tra- versent la frontiere tous les ans. Ils veulent visiter ce Canada em- belle de ses rivieres surabondantes en poissons, de ses collines riches en mineraux ou se trouvent des plai- sirs pour tout le monde. -DONALD FREEMAN . CHEZ NCDUS Avez-vous jamais reflechi que ce pays dans lequel nous vivons est un des plus beaux du monde. C'est un pays de liberte. Ici on jouit du regime de gouvernement qui lui assure la plus grande liberteg on peut exprimer librement ses opi- nions et on peut adorer son Dieu en son propre maniere. Personne ne nous empeche de suitre notre vocation. Mais maintenant notre Canada est menace par la tyrannie et par la force. Il y a devant nous des rigueurs, des heures d'epreuve et des batailles. Nous lutterons jusqu'au bout pour garder dans notre pays la paix et la liberte comme toujours. Nous lutterons que nos enfants heritent un pays ou subsistent en paix nos institu- tions sociales, politiques et reli- gieuses. Cette fois nous sommes tous au premier rang. Si personne ne manque a son devoir, alors nous pouvons etre bien sflrs qu'i1 y aura toujours une Angleterre et aussi un Canada. --WILLARD MILLER
