SKATING AFTER F OUR y Buzz-zz-zz! There goes the bell to end another school day, but why all the hurry? Ah! yes, to-day is the first time we are going to the rink to skate. After being without a rink for Aa year, I wonder if we will all be able to mani- pulate our feet on the ice. Well, let's go down and see how everyone .is mak- ing out. Oh, Oh! It looks as if all have shown up, for look at the crowd. Round and roundithey go and where they stop. . . Well, your guess is just as good as mine! Oh! Oh! There go those rough-necks with their game of tag, always getting in the way. Look out! -close your eyes, for here they come. Bang!-Crash! '6Boy, is that ice hard!', Another pile-up, but isn't it fun? Down in the far corner we see our figure skaters practising their familiar tactics. Yes, these are all familiar scenes which might have been observed during our skating periods. We are indeed indebted to the School Board for granting us this privilege and we hope that they will continue to do this in the future. ' -ALBERT LoacH, GRADE XIII THE SKATING PARTY Only one skating party was held this year on account of the short skating season. We had a wonderful time and the rink rang with our laughter. Soft drinks were sold under the Athletic Society's direction, but we still cannot understand the mysterious disappear- ance of one bottle of chocolate milk. The party, however, was a great suc- cess from both the entertainment and financial standpoints. l -JoHN ROWLAND, GRADE XIII E. H. S. HOCKEY MATCHES This winter only two hockey games were played by E. H. S. The first took place on January 11 at the rink. The high school played the Elmira Up- towners and defeated them badly, 8-1. One week later they played a Floradale team. I guess we'll have to admit that Floradale had a good team because the outcome of this game was not as good as that of the first one. The score here was 5-3. The line-up was as follows: Goal--Rudowg Defence- Hambly, Millerg Centre-Arnoldg For- wards-O'Krafka, Lorchg Spares- Vines, Weichel, Robbins. --ROLAND BORCHARDT, GRADE XII ' 9 Relchards The Store with a Complete Stock of I GENERAL DRY GOODS AND GROCERIES T We Appreciate Your Patromzge Get - it - at - Reichards' PHONE 307 ELMIRA I 43

fiffle foolzs on finwooa Did you ever hear of Linwood? K Perhaps it's just as well. I Then lend an ear and listen, y To the tale I have to tell. It's not a very big place, But I know it's on the map, The railroad tracks' run through it To help jill up the gap. It has a famous bus-line, 'Un which some kiddies go, To get a little knowledge, And learn to cook and sew. Each morning bright and early, To Hills' the bus doth spin, To pick up all the victims, And get them all within. The first we see arriving A lassie tall and slim, We know it's .leanie F oster-- Who else has such a grin? And there are Ed and Dorothy, Dorothy-did I say? No, but patience, just a second,- She says shels on the way. Sputter! sputter! down the street, Until at Hains, we stop, Is Irene almost ready? That boo-k she'll have to drop. Roes, is next, I hear them say, And Bob is on the run, Coat a-flying, hair amuss, And books that weigh a ton. Oh yes, there still is Helen Voll! Now, she is ne ver late, She's always ready on the dot, With pencil, book and slate. Look in now at Wallenstein, Our Lloyd is still asleep, Five minutes is a lot of time From out of bed to creep. Giggle! giggle! gosh! and gee! Have you got your history done? And of they go, those Linwood kids, - Another day's begun. -r-..- ra-: fi-f .- S- ---1:3-V . - The each 0' fha 'llofzlh The Cock O' the North was a queer old goat That liked to eat old bones, He had a ravenous appetite, And he relished a plate of scones. He liked to spring on passers-by, W e didn't think it fair, On roof-tops, too, he loved to perch, And think of another to scare. He carried on through summer and fall- W e never could wear him down, He jumped, and kicked, and hopped and ran, He was a funny old clown. One day he overdid himself, He ate a pound of paint, His stomach could not stand the shock- He then became a saint. We gave him a splendid funeral, And laid him in the ground, We can't explain how he found the paint, But now he's under a mound. DELORES SNYDER, X A fWith apologies to J. R. Allan? C2 Diem One day as I walked down the street, I met the queerest sight, A dog with eyes as black as coal- T his didn't seem quite right. I looked at him, he looked at me, I really shouldn't stare, But it seemed so very queer to me, His nose just wasnlt there. His hair was long and shaggy, He was very short in size, His hands were just as big as mine And he had the queerest eyes. And then as I was watching him, I heard the fiercest scream- I woke up with a start to find All this had been a dream. ., - . Bon.RoE,,X.B.. I JANE SHURLRIXB 45
