LIMERICKS There once was a man named Dior, Who styled women’s skirts to the floor; He changed his mind, And now you’ll find, After the knee, there’s no more. —Brenda Taylor—11-10 A young man who thought himself wise, Bought a cap in an extra large size.

My Experience (cant ' d) For one horrible night the train just stood at the station, for our enemies had to be fought off before we could cross the bridge. Everyone rejoiced as the train started to move early the next morning. Again I must repeat that our prayers had been answered for as soon as we pulled out of the station a bomb was thrown on the station, destroying everything. After two days of this torture we had reached a small town where we had some relatives. Walking down the road in the stillness of the night with only the roar of the low-flying aeroplanes overhead, weary from fatigue THE GIFT FIRST PRIZE To what purpose, dearest God, Hast Thou put man upon Thy blessed Earth. Cast in Thy image but Without Thy grace, He hath betrayed Thee. Thou hast blessed him With unparalleled wisdom. Thou hast created him Without peer within this fruitful garden. Yet what savage beast would Kill his brother without quarrel? Knowledge hath lessened love Of thee, immortal Creator. Spite, greed, hate, jealousy, intolerance, Crowd forgiveness, love, virtue, modesty, And kindness to obscurity. He hath altered and destroyed Thy blessings to accommodate Himself. No longer doth burning Punishment in hell frighten him. How can hell be a reality When Thou art a myth? God! Show him the way Before Thy beloved Eden Becomes like unto hell itself. —Murray Krovats, XII-18 and lack of food, we reached our aunt ' s house, and were welcomed with open arms. After a few days of rest we all packed up again, our relatives having joined us, to move on foot. Walking all day we were only too glad to be sheltered by kind people when night began to fall. This is how we finally arrived at our destination in Germany in 1945, after one year of travelling. This is one of the minor experiences my family and I, and thousands like us, have had during our long grue¬ some journey towards freedom and peace. —Elvera Loewen, X-12 “PET” SEEfllVn PRIZE You impish fairy! Like sugar and spice, so merry! Mischief incarnate clad in jeans With round blue eyes, that always mean To get attention for silly things Bundle of might! A little disaster upsetting right, Hopping about displaying gymnastics Not truly satisfied till shooting elastics. Little package of wit and brawn, Yet how to punish any wrong? Miniature mass of perpetual motion You pet! —Elsie Grywinski, XI-13 FISHING THIRD PHIZE To angle is a sport that I adore. It brings me to a peaceful shore. The day is warm, the sun is bright. Which all adds to a man’s delight. My friends are happy and so am I: Each hour a joy as it goes by. I cast my line and hope and pray A rainbow trout will come my way. The line is carried by the lure— I’ll catch a fish this time for sure. I have one hooked and what a size! This one will surely take the prize. —Gary Pattenden, XI-13 25
