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

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.

SEASONS Spring Summer is Summer and Fall is Fall and Winter is Winter But Spring and all its things Have a certain ting. Summer Fall is Fall and Winter is Winter and Spring is Spring But Summer is very very good For lumber. Fall Winter is Winter and Spring is Spring and Summer is Summer But Fall is falling And all its bright colours Fall with the others. That cold cold Winter Spring goes with Summer Summer goes with Fall But Winter is a splinter That cold cold Winter. Theodore S. Nor veil Prep III IF THE SKY WAS LIGHT If the sky was light in the night, What would you do in the night with the light? And what would you do if the daytime was dark? I ' ll tell you what I would do. I would play in the night, and I would sleep in the day. That ' s what I would do if it was light in the night and dark in the day. Nadine J. Fox Prep Two
