The Bisley Shooting Competition Last summer as a member of the Royal Army Cadet Bisley team, I had the honour and privilege to represent Canada and the Royal Canadian Army cadets at the National Rifle Association shooting matches held at Bisley, England. The main objective ofthe team, which con- sisted of eleven boys, was to try to win the Alexander Graham Bell Trophy which is sup- plied by the Canadian Army cadets for com- petition in England, between British and Can- adain cadets. In a close competition held at the Bisley ranges the Canadian team defeated the British team, 726 to 724. It was a com- bined total of two ranges of two hundred and five hundred yards. The rifle used was the standard .303. Our second obiective was to give the people we met a good impression of Canadian youth. I believe that we did our best for Canada in this respect. On the l6th of June the team met at Montreal and sailed on the 5.5. Neptunia to England. After landing at Southampton we travelled through beautiful countryside to Bis- ley. The team fired two weeks at Bisley. We fired not only against cadets but also against experienced veterans who helped us immensely. The team next proceeded to Chelsea Barracks in London and toured for one week. We visit- ed many well known places and landmarks. During our stay in England we were the guests of the Imperial Cadet Association and nothing was too much trouble for them. To keep a close check on us we had two officers, Colonel Buell, the Commandant of the team, and Colonel Dow, the Adiutant. Through the courtesy of the R.C.A.F. we were transported by Dakota to Germany, where we were the guests of the Canadian Brigade, who gave us a warm welcome. Here, too, we had an opportunity to visit several interesting and historical places. On our return to England we were trans- ported to Liverpool, where we boarded the Em- press of Scotland for the return iourney to Canada. A This trip was a memorable one for me. I made many friends and visited many interest- ing places. The team fulfilled all its obiectives and created a good impression for Canada. I hope that in future years some other fortunate student from our school may have the thrilling experience that I enioyed this past summer. Ron Wilson, Grade l2A After Graduation . .

lovers' Flight Two figures in the night did ride, To eastward in their flight, One was a maiden, young and fair, With her, a handsome knight. The maiden's hair was copper brown, Her eyes were starry bright, A rosy flush was on her cheek, She loved this handsome knight. Her father was a selfish man, He wanted her to stay Forever by his ailing side, To while the time away. He knew she had her life to live, He knew she loved the knight, He told her she'd have lots of time, He knew that he was right. So, much against her father's wish, Before the break of day, The lovers on a prancing steed, Stole silently away. Her Iover's face was dark and grim His brow was wet with sweat, He knew the greatness of his crime, He'd heard her father's threat. I For he had sworn the man to kill That ever she did wed. Yet many men had woo'd the maid, And each had lost his head. As through the dark of night they sp They heard a far-off sound - It was her father's cavalry, And quickly gaining ground. Her lover spurred his tired horse, His heart was in his throat, And in the dark and starless night, He didn't see the moat .... The horsemen were in hot pursuit, St. PauI's Presbyterian Church Ingersoll, Ont. Minister: REV. DILLWYN T. EVANS, B.A. CONGRATULATIONS GRADS!
