THE NEWTONIAN 21 ISAAC NEWTON One day as Isaac Newton sat beneath an apple tree He gazed and gazed intently at the book upon his knee. In those days books were scarce, and so it really was a treat.— An apple fell from off the tree, and landed at his feet. “I wonder why they don’t fall up instead of falling down?” The more he thought the matter out, the greater was his frown. Years passed away. To Isaac yet had no conclusion come. One day his pipe fell from his mouth and burnt his wrinkled thumb. He jumped up from his his easy chair and shouted loud with glee. T’was then that Newton wrote for us the “Law of Gravity.” Anonymous. HOYS’ JUNIOR BASKETBALL The Juniors started out the year badly with two losses, but came back with a rush, winning five out of the six remaining games to gain second place.

20 THE NEWTONIAN WAR ANI) PEACE The bloody earth is strewn with the dead, Down from the sky there rains a deadly dew, Ships battle in a sea of crimson hue, While round about them flies the fatal “lead”. When men and women to their gory bed Are hurled, ere their last days on earth are due; W T hen children die; unbroken homes are few, “This is the pomp of war,” we hear it said. The golden earth now blossoms in the sun, The air is filled with merry laughter gay. When man with man lives side by side; when cease « The bugle calls of sin and hate; when one Can grow, and keep in tune with God; we say “How beautiful the fellowship of peace.” Jack Shaver, Room 6—First Prize. A TOAST TO THE KING Hail, King! Loved Monarch of the British race, To thee we subjects x’aise our voices high And sing thy praises as in days gone by, In which thou rul’st the land with kingly grace. For twenty years and five, in war and peace, Thy people bowed their wills to thy command,— Held high those qualities for which they stand. May God those qualities in thee increase! Throughout the years to us thou didst display Justice and peace. We subjects pray anew That health, and empire’s wealth, devotion true And loyalty may bless thee night and day, That love for our great king may ever reign. Take up the cup! Drink to the King again! Pearl Reynolds. THAT’S THE TIME TO BE HAPPY When the bright sun shines on the world below And the flowers bloom, and the breezes blow, And the meadows with golden rods do glow, Oh, that’s the time to be happy. When the green leaves turn to red and brown, And to earth come fluttering and dancing down; And form a carpet over vale and town; Oh, that’s the time to be happy. When the earth with a blanket of snow is white, And you sit at home on a winter’s night, Beside the fireplace glowing bright, Oh, that’s the time to be happy. When the swallows are flitting across the sky, And the robins nest in the branches high, And winter is gone and summer is nigh, Oh, that’s the time to be happy. In every season the whole year through, In every minute and second, too, When your heart is light and your friends are true, Oh, that’s the time to be happy. Pearl Reynolds.
