The Arrival of the New IPs Last year, about the end of June, We worried ami we trembled, Until we stood the final test. And in the school assembled. It seemed to us an awful time. But they were through at last; And read our marks all out to us And told us we had passed. We spent the Summer holidays In frolic and in fun, And everyone was pretty sore. The day that school begun. But on the first day over here. Everything was so new; We each exclaimed to the other one, “I like it here, don’t you?” The work it is so well explained; The hours are so short; To the drudgery of other years. It seemed to he mere sport. There are so many of us now. We’re like bees within a hive; Instead of D classes up to three. They had to make us five. The A’s and B’s they think themselves Way up above us IPs; But we don’t care, our principal says We’re just as good as B ' s. But sometimes we pupils who now arc IPs Will grade away up high. And I’m sure we shall U lovely B’s. And I’ll tell you the reason why: We shall not snub the lower class. Nor call them Dawny IPs; But we’ll he all on equal terms. The A’s. B’s. IPs and C’s. Of course this does not really include Every one of the A’s and B’s. But just a very few who think They ' re high above the D’s. For there are some really lovely A’s, And aisu lovely IPs Who’ll smile and nod, ami even talk To us, the lowly D’s. HELEN LOCK SON, ClD.
