SAMARA 15 Nigktingale House Notes Last year (1945 - 1946), Night- ingale, much to our joy won the sports shield. Also, in spite of stiff opposition, we won the bad- minton cup. By coming second in both House Collections and House plays (our play was T ho Murdered Who) we took second place in stars at the end of the year. This year (1946 - 1947) with a large increase of members, we were able to capture the most stars for our very well- turned-out collection. Our play, The Prince Who Was a Piper, showed that we had some budding actresses. We hope they will carry on the good work in future years. In the bad- minton matches, we were unfortun- ately beaten, but there were some extremely close and interesting games. Although, at Christmas, Nightingale had the most stars, Fry and Keller have been working well, and it looks as if there would be a very close race for first place at the end of the year.

SAMARA 17 Tragedy Narrowly Averted or Ckeers for Sainf John PROLOGUE We cannot say if this is fact or fiction. But hope you ' ll like our ei gh teen th- century diction THE INCIDENT At first streak of rosy fin gered dawn The nymphs of Elmwood rise up with the gong; They leave their bowers and go to break their fast, A holiday has come their way at last. When famished frames are satisfied again, Out to the glassy mirror sweeps the train,— The mirror, newly freed of fluffy load By toiling swains who care for this abode, And lightly trip the joyful maidens there Like gamboling lambs, who dispossessed of care Prance on the green on sunny, summer days. Expectant of a loving mother ' s praise. Upon this happy train the genial sun Shines from the azure frame to bless the fun. Exuberance overflows, as with great lee They trip so lightly, so fantastically , Each gleaming dagger s blade performs its feat Of %agle, tea-pot, spin and spiral neat. But stay, oh hapless Girl! Beware thy Fate! Prithee be cautious e ' er it is too late. Alas, the gliding nymph, twirling too fast, Unheed ful of a maiden swi r 1 ing past Stumbles amid the wildly clamouring train; Their frames collide upon the gleaming plain. Vainly she clutches air to halt her spin; A knee she rudely bumps, and then a chin. Upon the icy brink she feebly flops And stains the shining white with ruddy drops. Up rush the stalwart cohorts of Saint John And even Mascot Trixie comes along They carry in their hands the linen white To bind up that sad wound, oh luck less sight! Long bandages unroll, and iodine Pour ' d o ' er the wound brings forth a mournful whine. The awe-inspiring Ambulance Brigade Alleviates the anguish of the maid. While mindful of the damsel ' s erstwhile moan One lightly trips inside to telephone, A doctor soon arrives to brin relief. And cheerfully dispels the maiden ' s grief. At last the noon ti de sun draws to a close; The weary nymphs do seek their sweet repose, EPILOGUE So, gentle friends , each day do your good deed. And prove a friend in need ' s a friend indeed.
