GORDON BELL HIGH SCHOOL PRIZE POEM (By a “Schuler” of Gordon Bell) I gasped as I glimpsed her beauty so fair, As in the moonlight she danced quite bare Of ornament or dress. I marvelled at her lithesome way, Her Sylvan grace was like the spray Devoid of any stress. Her naked beauty seemed to en¬ trance Me all the more in her nocturnal dance. I gazed in speechless awe! She fairly rippled—so lithe was she! No mortal could so graceful be, She was without a flaw! I longed to take and hold Her forever there How could I be so bold? I could no longer motionless stand; I rushed to her before she was aware. Oh! Could I ever dare? I touched her with a trembling hand. I stood aghast with fear- Boy oh boy—the lake was cold! No swimming for a while this year! PRIZE STORY By Sinclair Swim For months he had been planning this out! His scheme was perfect. They would never prove his guilt. There would be no evidence, no proof against him. But if he were caught—he shuddered to think of the consequences. He dismissed fur¬ ther speculation from his mind, for now he was started on his deadly mission. He crept down the stairs; feeling his way down. Cautiously, at first, but growing bolder as he progressed, he stole down to the very cellar. There his groping hands found the object of their exploration—a ham¬ mer. Stealthily creeping up the stairs, he made his way to the fate¬ ful room—the room where he was soon to do away with that dreaded spectre haunting him. He would not be bullied much longer. It was his house. He was master, even if he had to prove it by force—aye, brutal force. He raised the hammer in his hand —claw-end downward. “This will do it better,” he mused malevolently, fingering the claw of the hammer. He crept up to his helpless victim. He raised the deadly weapon—there was a horrible crunching sound as he brought it down with full force. He struck again and again. In seeming madness he rained frenzied blows upon the object of -his hatred. The deed was done! A grisled object lay on the floor—a shape¬ less, lifeless thing it was. Algeron Pinklethwaite Winterbottom had pulled that unsigh tly nail from the wall!

About this time Eleanor Ward and Ruth Hammond will be in the midst of that daily discussion of their boy friends. In the back, Helen Hall- dorson is doing her best to comb those golden locks! And above all this, Miss Hewton is faithfully doing her best to maintain peace and order. ROOM 23 S OON we will be looking back on our halcyon school days and will remem¬ ber: When Jocelyn Campbell was pursued in the lobby; when Mary Taylor came to school early; when Dot Huggins gave her diving exhibi¬ tion; when Louise Helliwell first wore her shorts after the wash; when Norah Hanley switched her tunic; when Ruth Fryer debated; when we typed carbon side down on our copy. We will never forget when Isabel Amos paid her bill to Room 5; when Suzanne Collon conversed in French; when some romantic Romeo took Margaret Lennox’s fiddle; when Margie Thirwell, running to the wrong basket in the final game, nearly scored; when Betty Coyle wore boys’ size 11 rubbers; when Mona Frye lent a valuable possession to the Winter Club.
