'22 we e: - is Uhr i-'Vanta Gllaua lliartrhv Christmas is a tirrre of good will and harr- piness for everyone. This fact gave the Guelph junior Board of Trade the idea of hating something special for the children. This en- joyable time of the year would he more ex- citing if Santa and his many attendants and subjects were paraded before the children. The well-planned procession wottld convey bright and exciting thoughts to their minds which they might hold and cherish as happy me- mories of childhood. November 22nd came finally to impatient children. The weather gods had not been too kind. for the air was cold and a brisk wind swirled over the roofatops and loosened the flakes of snow which had settled there the night before. Even at this date the spirit of old man Christmas had silently crept into tiny hearts. Guelph became transformed. It was as if some fairy had slipped down from fairy- land and whispered a startling message into the ears of all the children. The steady rou- tine changed to one of bustling and httrried activities. Grown-ups rushed about, hurrying their children along, while they scurried through their early morning shopping. Young children were snugly wrapped and taken out on some street corner where the view would be best. Long before the faint strains of hand music were drifted to keen ears. crowds began to form along all streets down which the parade was to come. Many were adjusting their cameras in order to take pictures of the parade. lixcitenrent nrt rrntt-d higher as the approa- ching parade led hr a band playing stimulating marrn music carrie along lixlribition Street. The tostunres were bright and colorful. renrirrding one of Halloween. Each group of colorful figures marched lry toward the down- town section of the titr, flow-girls wearirrg huge hats added ir touch of attractiveness to the procession. Attendants to Santa. soldiers. boisterous clowns. and many queer figures ptarrted along with the music: it was almost as though all the fairy folk and elves had Utne at Santas cornnrarrd. Santa Claus. perched up on a huge float waxed and called rn marry eager-faced children. Fat pudgr Eskrnros occupied the float with Santa: they looked indeed. as though they had just arrived from out of the ice and snow of the nortlrlarrd. At last came the great moment to which the children had looked lrrrwartl with great anticipatiorr Santa Claus had arrived at the armories. Here one was reminded of the time when the Pied Piper went to the city of Hamelrrr aml all the children followed him out entranted. Children had actnrnulartcd in front of the arrnories. each waiting for the magic word which would permit him to be ushered ln strange little soldiers up to Santa who sat on a throne ready to receive his many admirers. Late in the afternoorr when the last of the children had been satisfied. Santa rose from his throne. and the doors were closed on a lrappv nrernory. -Dorothy Russf'll. CXI THE CHOICE The destiny of each is his to rhooseg l'Vho'll reach his goal, and who his way will lose? Who heights attains? l'l'ho dying leaves no trace Of ever having lived? ll'ho wins the race? O, reach into the infinite, unknown sky To catch a star of wisdom passing hy. And solve the puzzle of which men will climb To join the mighty in the Halls Sub- lime! 'Twill not be those and cheatg And follow others feet, Wholycount as naught the cozrrtesies of zfe, Who tremble at the slightest hint of strife, who shirk and lag lead with tardy ll'ho irarillate Vfrorn day to day. nor keep The upward path lferairse it's rough and steep: But those whose lufarts are strorrg. whose hopes are high, Il'ho seek new paths that lead up lo thi' sky, lllllu opporlrnrity ,ggiggg who jypglf, my faith, Nor turn aside to seek a zrrorthless wrarth Like wealth or rank, no profit to at'- quzre, But steadfast rllnrh the path of their desire, lI'hose souls turn ever upward, pimp,- down,- Tis these who gain the laurel and the crown. -josephine Boyd, XHA
