T II E K E NCO L L 19 5 5 Page 23 The north wind blows and shows his teeth, Then soon apears the Christmas wealth; Snow is falling, coating lands. Now everything is silver strands. Thus the march of Time goes on. Never ceasing, still as strong, Never slows or stops to rest. The years of the future are the best. And as the seasons still roll by, Let not the hopes of future die; Keep alight those hopes for better, To the past be not a debtor. So as the years of life go by, Bring not to mind a cloudy sky. Forget all troubles of the past, Remember good things to the last. Second Prize—Senior DOUG WILSON, 12A METAMORPHOSIS The rain came dripping to the tiny glade. No diamonds ever fairer had been seen; They sparkled every leaf and bough so green. And spider web that quivered in the shade. The sky was gray, the earth was gray; o’erlaid With blankets from the Weaver’s loom supreme. 1 think gray clouds arc used to Heaven screen, And pitter-pat the sweetest sound God made. But suddenly the world was born anew— Sun’s chariot swept the graying, dismal sky; Earth was a cup with golden wine o’erflowed. All creatures (piaffed the liquid molten brew. Now Earth forgot the rain that speeded by; Jler eyes were lifted to the sphere of gold. First Prize—Senior MAY IIOTTI, 12B A BONFIRE ' The acrid smoke of burning leaves hangs in the dank night air. As I watch the crackling flames parry with the gloomy shadows, a strange fascin- f ation takes hold of me. On this pyre of withered leaves, the brilliant hues of autumn culminate in blazing beauty. My cheeks burn with a ruddy glow; my eyes smart from the dazzling light. Alas! 1 am bewitched! 1 cannot look away! PAT STAGG, 13B (Continued from Page 8) afforded you here and that you will expose your¬ selves to the broadening experience of participation in intellectual, athletic, and social life. Above all, keep foremost Mr. Gilbert’s favourite saying: “Without effort there is no learning.” Finally, while basking in the warmth of our suc¬ cess, we realize that in leaving Kennedy, we are leaving most of the friendships and affiliations of our childhood and, conscious of a whirlpool of con¬ flicting emotions w ithin us, can sympathize with Juliet when she said, ‘‘.Parting is such sweet sorrow.” RODERICK D. MACGREGOR UNITED NATIONS REPORT This year as in the past Kennedy students took an active part in United Nations programmes. Last July as part of a province-wide undertaking, two Kennedy students, Harry Walter and Rod Mac¬ Gregor attended a U.N, seminar at the University of Western Ontario. 1 hiring the weeks of their attendance, many interesting lectures on current topics were given by different professors. Harry and Rod also enjoyed many social and athletic activities at the same time. In the fall an invitation was extended to Windsor high schools to send representatives to a United Nations’ Day gathering in Detroit. Diane Merriman and Lauren Zeilig at¬ tended in Kennedy’s behalf. In addition to the many high school students from Windsor and Detroit were a group of foreign students from various Asiatic and European countries, who were studying in Detroit. Their presence gave the meeting a truly United Nations’ atmosphere. Several weeks later as part of the Board of Edu¬ cation’s programme which sponsors annual trips for local students to the United Nations in New York, six very fortunate boys made the journey. Among them was Lauren Zeilig from Kennedy, who after taking extensive notes throughout the five-day adventure gave an account of the trip to the entire student body on his return. Accompany¬ ing the boys on the trip in the capacity of chaperon was Kennedy’s Mr. Walter. As head of the social studies department at Kennedy, Mr. Walter was well able to cope with any questions concerning the U.N. W hile in New York the group was received in the most courteous manner by the Canadian dele¬ gation and by Mr. Paul Martin, who interrupted a very busy schedule to conduct a tour through many of the l .N. conference rooms. The trip proved to be very successful as everyone returned with a much greater understanding of how the U.N. is striving to alleviate the troubles besetting mankind. LAUREN ZEILIG WOMEN ' S FASHIONS What is this world coming to? Are we being reactionary in our ideas of women’s fashions? To¬ day’s women look back on their wardrobes of 20 years ago with a smirk, but have they really looked at their clothes lately? In those clays the so-called ‘waist’ was really at the hips, dresses were knee- length. long strings of beads were worn as accessor¬ ies. and hair was trimmed very short. If one has ever noticed, fashions of to-day are not much different. Dior’s ‘flat look’ is creating much of a problem among fashion designers. It is up to the women as to whether it will be a leading style or a passing whimsy. The Italian cut and the ‘boyish bob’ are among the leading hair styles now-a-davs. W ill the fashions of to-morrow be similar to these? Or perhaps they might compare with those of the “Gay ’90’s.” I guess we will first have to wait and see! i VERLIE ARMSTRONG, 12A
