Havergal College Magazine PUSSY 1. There was a little pussy, It ' s coat was soft as silk, It never caught a mousey, Nor drank a drop of milk. 2. Now this seems rather funny, And perhaps you are in doubt, But it was a pussy willow, So now you see you ' re out. C. I. McCombe, Form IV. Lower. 64

Havergal College Magazine HALLEYS COMET. Once upon a time, many years ago, a huge old giant was sitting on a hill. He had had heaps of power given him by the fairy Goodness, provided he used it well, and as a sign of this, she had given him a beautiful tail of a white, filmy material. But now, the giant had used his power to dry up a great and mighty river which flowed through the land; but this was not all. He had thoughtlessly turned some people who bothered him into mosqui- toes, and, as there was no water, this caused a great deal of suffer- ing both to people and animals. And now he was to meet Goodness on the hill and to learn his fate. Suddenly a white light covered the hill, and the giant saw Goodness before him. I have decided your fate, said she. Your beautiful tail is to be taken away and you are to be changed into a lifeless thing, to float through the sky. Oh! Oh! cried the giant. I can ' t bear it! Oh, beautiful fairy, can ' t you leave me my lovely tail? Angry as she was, Goodness could not break the giant ' s heart, so she said: Very well; though you don ' t deserve it, you may keep your tail. But now you must be changed into a comet. So saying, she waved her wand over him, repeating the words: Flick! Flop! Hoop! La! He hon! As she spoke, the huge figure was transformed into a lifeless comet to float above the world, until one day a man called Halley, looking through a tele- scope, discovered it. It now appears every 75 years, and no one ever thinks it is the remains of a wicked giant. Mary Estlin, Form IV. Lower. LA SALLE DE CLASSE. Voici la salle de classe de la quatrieme Classe B. La chambre est grande ; a gauche il y a deux fenetres, a droite il y a une porte. Entre les fenetres et la porte il y a 15 pupitres. A chaque pupitre une petite fille est assise, quelques enfants sont petites, les autres sont grandes, tontes sont jolies. Nous sommes des excellentes enfants mais quelquefois nos oreillers de plumes sont si moux que nous nous levons tard, et nous arrivons tard a l ' ecole. Alors notre institutrice n ' est pas contente avec nous et nous sommes obligees a rester apres l ' heure de l ' ecole pour reciter nos lecons. Nons aimons les jeux et la gymnase, nous jouons le basket- ball, la balle et le hockey. Nous jouons aussi le piano, mais nous ne jouons pas la flute ni la harpe. Elsie Scrimes, Form IV. Lower. 63
