Francois: Well, they usually end up in the hall, where their strategy changes. The emphasis switches from library disruption to class disruption. The inherent advantage lies in not being in the class. The teacher is badly handicapped, having to divide his attention between the hall and the class. This tactic is known as division of your foe. Rene: Terrific! It ' s down to a fine art then? Francois: Oh yes, but it is essential when employing these harassing tactics, to watch for the roving librarian. If detection takes place, the student ends up back in the library. This is a truly despicable fate. Rene: It would seem so. Francois: However there is a last retreat for these students. The washrooms are frequented to obtain a little peace. Rene: The librarian doesn ' t cover the washrooms? Francois: Rarely, if ever. This is the students ' last resort, and a cornered student is a vicious and dangerous animal. His verbosity then knov s no bounds. Rene: An interesting place, this library, does it have any good books? Francois: Well, I really don ' t know! 9 - 12 Poetry 1ST PRIZE POEMS How much easier a smile found, with brush, paint, and paper faces, than true eyes. POEM 4 Two prints in sand, and gone again is man. Robbie Finley, Upper Five POEM 6 The music of an age played quick and gone; And notes and strings will bend to some new time, find a new rhythm, and far outlive their past masters. Peter Bryson, U 6 Robbie Finley, U 5 2ND PRIZE THOUGHTS Thoughts wander through my head. Of thing unmade, of words unsaid, Thoughts that burn like coldly glowing fire, Burning in huge flame, upon Satan ' s funeral pyre Till it has consumed and lusts for more. In this manner — thoughts — through my mind passages — bore — Riddling my brain with tunnels and holes— A truly adequate abode for mind moles. Like gleaming knives, they cut and slash. Making hopes and plans, little bits of trash. They smother and choke — as one eternal noose— Into my mind ' s corridors, then let loose. Squirming, viriggling parasites, that gouge and devour Sapping my mind of its strength and power. No more! I shriek, but all in vain. Constantly drilling, they come on again. Till they have sculptured a work of art That aligns itself with my soul and heart. For however brutal logic attempts to prevail, It cannot do otherwise than miserably fail. Laurence Gillespie, Upper 3 19
