Christmas, 1923 VOX Qhettgletfatttes SECOND PRIZE POEM. I'm tired of picking cherries. For no matter how I try, I cannot reaeh the hranehes That grow 'way up so high. I See Cherry-fairy faees. As they smile and danee at play, But no matter how I reaeh A They keep out of my way. If I eould only eateh them They would lose their magic power. YVould turn into real cherries And I'd piek them hour hy hour. But there would he no fun In elierry-pit-king then, S0 we'll leaye them, Cherry-fairies, And wateh them play again. Climh up high with me and sit IVhere the Cherry-fairies Hit, All along the arching hranehes of the tree. See them tiitter, tlitter here. XVateh them pitter. patter there, Cutting capers they smile at you and me. See their eyes a-twinkle, twinkle, Hear their hells a-tinkle, tinkle, As they bob and swing along the leaves so green. See them tip-toe warily. NVateh them skip so merrily, Jolly little Cherry-fairies, gown- ed in erimson sheen. So when we 're tired and weary. And everything goes wrong, Let's fly with lilmy winf,1's To the Fairyland of Song. Let's join the magie eirele. And o'er the tree-tops go, To danee in Cherry-Fairyland, And neyer look below. -Elda S.

We surely appreeiate t-he kind- ness of the City Fatliers, in supplying the net-essary funds, hut a 'lt-sign is also Ileetlwl.

Now this is the iileai we want all those who have any inclination toward art, to sulunit dmsigus for a sehool flag, to he nine feet hy twelve feet. in the sehool eolours, perhaps working the Union .Taek into the plan.

YVho is going to attain the great honour of designing the st-hool Hag? The entries will he judged shortly after New Year-'s, so this will he something worth while doing in the holidays.
