SAMARA 9 KELLER HOUSE NOTES LAST year, in spite of our worthy efforts, Nightingale succeeded in winning the house shield, but this year, so far, we are ahead in stars and if all the house members keep up the good work, the prospect of win- ning the shield looks very bright. Though we did not do very well in the house col- lections and Christmas plays, our badminton team was victorious this year, and we are placing high hopes in our tennis team. Our Junior Basket-ball team also won us some points by defeating Fry.

Do they remember crisp winter air And the homey smell of cooking stew? Can they still see through desert ' s heat The moonlight silver on maple trees. The drowsy haze on a noonday street. And the poplars shivering in the breeze? Do they remember cars that pass Like angry ogres in an empty street, The spicy tang of new-cut grass. And the furry thump of a kitten ' s feet? What do our sailors on the treacherous deep Remember of the Canada they knew of old; Time-old Laurentians wrapped in sleep Or endless prairies of burning gold? Do they remember the lonely wail Of a train far away in the dead of night, Sap dripping into a gleaming pail. And the feel of the soil for which they fight? Do they remember Prince Edward ' s red clay, The copper fire of ruddy brown hair, Sunlight laughing on a little bay. And the satin smooth coat of a chestnut mare? Surely these are the things they remember For these are the things they are fighting for That they may return some May or November And find them just as they were before.
