Aren ' t you ashamed, the judge asked the man, to have your wife support you by taking in washing?” “Yes, I am. Your Honor, lie replied. But what can l do? She ' s too ignorant to do any¬ thing better.” Marriage Is One Undarned Thing After Another Marriage is an institution of learning. But anywhere else a man could learn faster. The husband loses his bachelor ' s degree, And his wife acquires a Master ' s. Shaggy Skunk— Mama skunk was worried because she never could keep track of her two children.

T H E T () VV EKS I’a«c Thirty-Five For The Fallen (On seeing a school plaque in my imagination) By chance. 1 came upon the plaque. Which hung upon the will; Without delay, my thoughts turned back. To boys who heard the call. Those days have passed; but thoughts remained— Sweet memories of youth Who laughed and played, and toiled and trained. Within our hails of Truth. With hands equipped; and hearts endowed. With wills to serve and give, They left these halls, forsook th crowd, To die that we might live. Herein the midst of fun and growth, I hear their voices still— “Free minds, fill hearts feed souls, fire youth To do the Father’s will”. We pray our deaths be not in vain. We know you will be true. And carry forth the Light to reign In hearts, and sin subdue”. “This happy land in which we rrst Is not so far beyond; And our last wish is your request. To make secure the bond”. —T4A STUDENT Blindness K ' c may have lots of money And think we ' re rich, oh sure. But it really isn’t funny when We realixe we are so poor. Poor, because we arc blind. When all around us lies Beauty which wc cannot find Because of our sightless eyes. Vie are poor because we are deaf To the voice of the wind and the sea. And at night we are scared to death Of the gentle murmurs of a familiar tree. As we walk along, our feet are bound To city pavements and country moor. Looking for adventure that can ' t be found Because wc are so poor. By MARGARET SCHRAM, C3B The Great Tornado One day a great tornado, Hit our quiet peaceful shore. And families who were happy Are not happy any more. It came across the river That is flowing gently by Between good old Canada And the land of liberty. The people all were resting From a day of honest toil When sudden disaster hit them, And brought on great turmoi l. W ithout respect for persons Or the rank they held in life it took the rich or the poor man And his daughters, sons and wife. And writhing like a serpent Scattered houses on the street The noise and heat were terrible ! The destruction was complete! This frightening tornado With hot and fevered breath Left many people dying And others cold in death. The telephones quit ringing The radios went dead. No light or water in our homes! ' Twas a time of fear and dread. Now nations get to-gethcr And the big four tiar their hair Because now in the atom age We have to live with care. They talk of great inventions. Jet propulsion and radar. By men with good intentions X ho have come from nxar and far. Rut in Windsor we have learned And 1 know you will agree There is a power greater Than atomic energy. If we have provokxd God’s wrath To create this awful strife Let us bow down on bended knees And pray for home and life. —BERNICE SHA X
