Harris Ukelele Group The Ukelele Group is composed of first year students from Prep. 3 and 4. The aim is to teach them to read music and to make it easier for them when they enter the school orchestra. The secondary aim is, of course, that they learn to play an instrument for their own satisfaction.

Gillis Prep School Hockey The prep hockey team, under the able supervision of Tim Ripley of the St. Mary ' s University Varsity Hockey team, Dave Black, and Tony Gillis, had a highly successful season this year. With an extra half-hour ' s ice time a week and a full sheet of ice to work with, promising young players had a chance to prove themselves. Their practices would consist of fifteen minutes of skating, fifteen minutes of shooting, and a half -hour scrimmage. Some of the scrimmages were exciting, but the boys wanted to play a real game and show off their talents. They got their chance at the Winter Carnival when they faced a not so well practiced girls ' team. They got off to a shaky start but with less than ten minutes left in the game, Jonathan Blanchard picked the bottom left hand corner on a shot from twenty feet directly in front of the net. This was enough to preserve the victory as Peter Buell recorded a shutout. The entire defensive corps played a strong game. The three stars of the game were Jennie Ritchie, Chris Ozere, and Peter Buell. Johnny Dickie and Loran Fox also played very well and deserve honourable mention for their strong play and co-operation in the practices. With this sort of hockey talent coming up in the Prep School, we can be assured of a good team in future.

Prep School Literature FIRST PRIZE TWINS Two of us climb up the stairs. Two of us say our prayers. Then we sing and tell stories, That ' s fun to do. But you whisper secrets and laugh, Until someone calls you to be still. Then we close our eyes, all four shut tight. And wonder why — in the day. And why we like being two by two at night. Victor Menasce Prep 3 SPRING Spring is the time when things can grow— For instance leaves and flowers And birds singing in trees And children and boys and girls playing at home Or at their friend ' s house or at the beach. Of course, parents read or go to work or clean And birds make their own nests. What can you do in spring? Geoffrey Dorrance Prep 2 TALES Tails are big Tails are small The kangaroo has a heavy tail It sits on it as a chair. The polar bear has scarcely a Tail at all. But the monkey has The nicest tail of all. Andrew Badley Prep 2 ROSE The rose is there. In the morning air. Dew drops on its petals stay. In the morn before the day So while we ' re asleep the dew Will meet Our roses in the morning air. Jennifer Badley Prep 4
