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!

A red-headed sap approached slowly, In his pocket he iingled a dime. Will you go to the dance? was his question And I like a fool said I would, But had I forseen what would happen l'd have left him there where he stood! Experience will teach you, Mom told me, But I heeded not what she said, Yet before that long night was over I wished I were home in my bed! He asked me ever so shyly, What colour of dress will you wear? And I kidded myself into thinking, He's at least buying flowers for my hair. The night of the dance came so quickly, And with it a torrent of rain. A Oh! l'll never forget that mad evening - It almost drove me insane! Find your own way there, he phoned me, I'Il meet you in front of the school 'Cause l'm going down in a taxi. . . I replied, You come here, you darned fool! What a strange and weird apparition Appeared on my doorstep that night! He thought he looked really snazzy But I thought he looked like a fright! His red hair with green froth was foaming! I exclaimed, What happened to you? I I He replied, Instead of the hair oil I grabbed the wrong iar - of shampoo! One box of face tissue later I had cleaned up the worst of the mess, And then I noticed his pink shirt Hid his hands like an oversized dress! He said, I admit it looks sloppy, lt's too large by four sizes, I fear, But Mama insisted I buy it this way So l'II have it for dancing each year. At last we arrived at the dance hall And he with the brains of a goat Zoomed to the games like a bullet And left me to check my own coat! l'd bought my corsage, now my ticket, And he sped 'round filling his face. Did he offer me even a hamburg? Oh brother! He hadn't the grace! Was I glad when that evening was over! Someone else can have that guy, you bet! The kids may have nicknamed him Romeo But l'Il never be his Juliet!! Janice Robins, Grade 9G THE VOLT
