I Miss Spring is very beautiful, She brings the flowers and sun, And when you want to speak with her. She ' ll answer with great fun. She ' s always bright and happy, Like you should always be. She ' s never bad and angry like the wind that pounds the sea. Her dress is of all colours — Greens, purples, and even blues. There are yellows and pinks and whites, And baby-baby blues. Her hat and dress are beautiful. As well as socks and shoes. Erica Glube Prep. 5 Age ' 9

- 6 - ON TOP OF HORROR HILL A long time ago, on top of Horror Hill, there lived two mad scientists, named Dr. Zorba and Dr. Jeckel. These two mad scientists had worked for many years on one experiment. They were trying to change the brain of a human into the brain of an animal. Late one night, while Dr. Zorba was cleaning up one of the laboratories, he heard Dr. Jeckel yelling in another laboratory, I»ve got it! I ve got it! Dr. Zorba went running into the other laboratory and asked, What have you got? Dr. Jeckel answered, I have found the way to change the brain of a human into the brain of an animal. Dr. Zorba said, We will have to put an advertisement in the paper for a volunteer to have his brain changed. So the next day they put an advertisement in the paper. Nobody answered the advertisement, so Dr. Jeckel said, I, as scientists have for years, shall volunteer for this experiment. The next day they were ready for the experiment. Dr. Jeckel sat down on a chair and Dr. Zorba put a helmet with a lot of wires coming out of it on Dr. Jeckel s head. Then he pulled the switch; he held it down for five seconds and then lifted it. Dr. Jeckel wanted to speak, but all he could say was, Cock-a- doodle-doo . And from then on, every day early in the morning, Dr. Jeckel says, Cock-a-doodle-doo. l arcus Burnstein Prep. 5 Age 10 YELLOW AND GREEN There is a school in Halifax, The Grammar School by name.
