(Jaami dfauM JiAAi (phi s. Staring eyes and hanging doors, Broken steps and creaking floors. Hearthside black, that once blazed bright, And played with shadows of the night. Do ghosts now walk where once was life? Where once was known both joy and strife? Now, crumbling, left to bat and mouse, Forlorn, deserted, Vacant House. BY ELAINE GEORGE Jhe Sstauh} 4 Thdiam Second (phipi Fragrant the flowers that toss in the breeze, Sweet is the music of birds in the trees. Timid the fawn that came down and took A cool soothing drink, from the cool watered brook. Green is the grass that grows on the plains, Clear is the water that falls when it rains. Colored the leaves that lay on the ground, Giving radiance and beauty, to this earth we have found. Swirling and twirling around in the air, The leaves are like children out at a fair. They fly through the air like birds on a flight, They tire, they res t, on the soft clouds of night. Quick is the lightning that flashes so bright, Loud is the thunder that wakens the night. White is the snow that falls all around, Glistening like diamonds all over the ground. These are the beauties God made for the earth, These are the beauties we’ve lived with from birth. These are the beauties God gave us to see, He provided them all for you and for me.

I chased him almost endlessly, But I would have chased him for eternity as well. I would have followed him to that place called heaven, I would have followed him to the pits of hell. Many a treacherous race lead he, “You’ll never catch me,” he once said. “I ' ll haunt you. I ' ll find you,” I had replied, “And when I do, I’ll leave you dead.

saying the food was short in quantity, I meant, how can a nine pound roast, one can of beans and five pounds of hamburger be expected to feed seven people, for seven days and eleven meals. Well, so much for the food and its qualities. In introducing the boarders, whom I am associated with, I say, “Any resemblance, from this point on, to persons living or otherwise, is purely unintentional and coincidental.” First, for sake of duty, I introduce to you Mrs. Natosa Smith, our landlady. Mrs. Smith, who cannot get over the fact that she is no longer twenty-seven, is a rather pompous woman, nearly six feet tall and nearing the sweet, uncontrollable age of fifty. She can hardly wait to hear what she is going to say, and when she has said it she usually says, “Oh, I didn’t mean to say that.” She joytalks her way into every conversation, and then she lets her mind go blank while she talks about things that leave her speechless. Next to the landlady is her niece Arlene Smith, or the beautiful blonde bombshell. She is fifteen and lives with her aunt. She is blonde and entirely too young to be entrusted with such a dangerously provocative figure. She is forever trying new make-up and hair styles in order to make herself more “desirable”. She does things for her appearance for which car dealers would go to jail. Then there is the high-school physics teacher, who is always trying to find a new type of gunpowder or invent¬ ing new and louder firecrackers in the basement. Such as he are few and wide apart in the brains. He is nearing his fortieth year and as it has been said, “Life doesn’t (Jkhfiia Jhihjd On the southern extremity of Vancouver Island lies one of the most enchanting cities in the world. Sur¬ rounded by mighty fir trees and towering mountains, Victoria is truly a rare and picturesque sight. From her hiding place between the snow-capped mountains this small but friendly city seems to cry out to tourists to come to her refuge. Nestled between the sky-reaching mountains she is sheltered from the howling winds and roaring seas. It has been said that good things come in small packages and Victoria certainly proves this state¬ ment. She is beauty, enchantment and excitement all rolled into one; mystery and magic combined; every¬ thing a city could possibly be. Historical Thunderbird Park, which is situated in the centre of town, has many replicas of Indian totem poles. Directly opposite the scenic harbour lies Beacon Hill Park which is dotted with tiny duck ponds and flower gardens. Stately trees line the park’s paths lending an air of rich grandeur to the surroundings. Tiny thatched roofed cottages are located in the residential areas. With their old world simplicity they provide a typical English atmosphere. Along the main thoroughfare fragrant flower baskets hang from the lamp posts making an un¬ usual but breathtaking scene. From benches along the harbour, tourists spend idle moments watching huge ocean liners making their way to docks. Evening on¬ lookers are attracted to the downtown Parliament build¬ ings by the splendid array of lights. begin at forty for those who went like sixty when they were twenty.” He also is the owner of a sparkling nine¬ teen hundred and thirty-six Essex, and he knows that the surest way to kindle a blaze is by rubbing two fenders together. He has had more accidents and stalled more traffic than any other driver in town. Next, is Mrs. Abercrombie, who has learned many of our landlady’s ways. Her husband also lives with us, but is seldom seen and not very courteous. His downfall was glasses. Glasses can change one’s personality, especi¬ ally if emptied too often. She still seems to love him, in spite of his faults. They were married for better or for worse. He couldn’t do better and she couldn’t do worse. Due to her home life, Mrs. Abercrombie “has a very low bowling point,” according to the teacher. I think the next person you should meet is my best friend in the house, John Peters. John, like the rest, has many funny faults. He has a feeling now and then that he should raise garter snakes. He brings a litter of the creatures into his room and later suffers the torture from the loquacious Mrs. Smith. The last of the seven boarders is myself. I have some points worth mentioning, but being smarter than ex¬ pected, I regard silence as a virtue as of now. You now know what to expect, when coming to a small French-Canadian town: no sleep, food—let’s leave it at that, many different types of boarders and always one, such as myself, a little smarter than the others. BY JACK STEWART lBmJuma Approximately thirty miles from the heart of the city one can find the world-famous Butchart Gardens. Acres and acres of undescribable beauty promise the tourist hours of enjoyment. There are four gardens, namely, the Rose, the Italian, the Japanese, and the Sunken Gardens. This fairy-land of flowers, which is night-lighted, allows one to spend many evening hours in the utmost pleasure. F or one dollar admission you receive one thousand thrills in Mrs. Butchart’s enchanting wonderland. Hundred’s of tiny lakes dot the countryside providing hours of recreation for the sports minded person. Water skiing, swimming, salt water fishing and speed-boating are only a few of the very popular water sports. Each year hundred’s of people visit the beautiful city. It is no wonder, for Victoria, with all its panoramic views is truly the most charming city in the world. A single trip to the province’s capital will convince one, that there is no better place to spend a holiday than amidst the awesome splendour of Victoria, British Columbia.
