THE RED CROSS SLEIGH DRIVE Our Junior Red Cross members Held a sleighing party one night, It was a glorious evening And the moon was shining bright. The sleighs were great 'big flat ones, Covered over with hay, , 'Mid shouting, singing and laughing, VVe started on our way. The merry sleigh bells jingled As the horses pranced along, And soon the air about us VVas filled with bits of song. Soon on and off the sleighs we went Into the piles of snow, And many were running away behind As on the horses would go. After a jolly ride Out to the jail and around, We discovered that each and every one A large appetite had found. The table laden with beans and things VV4s a ve-ry welcome sight, And table manners were thrown to the wind As we ate our lunch that night. THANKS FOR THE MEMORY Thanks for the memory Of school in old North Bay Every single day, NVith pupils here and pupils there, ' All who were so gay. How lovely it was. Thanks for the memory Of dreams in our French class Of green trees and of grass, When teachers cried in agony, MV heavens what a class! How lovely it was. Many times we were detained, And many the time we were let free, But oh what a time we had attained. VVe didn't learn much In Science and such, Of teachers 'by the score Increasing more and more, The crossest ones and the fiercest ones Never were a bore. I thank you so much.

Form IIA Collegiate Miss Wales POPULAR SONGS OF THE DAY The Boy lNamed Len and the Girl Named Sue were talking to the Shabby Old Cabby about the Deep Purple shade of the Blue Orchids in the vase on the table in the picture of the 18th Century Drawing Room. Now, said Len, If I Only Had a Brain I could paint a picture of the Yellow Brick Road that leads Over the Rainbow. After the Shabby Old Cabby left, The Boy Named Len asked the Girl Named Sue to marry him, He said Because of All thc Things You Are, I Promise You I'll be Faithful For- ever. She said no, that she wouldn't marry him but before they parted She Must Have One More Kiss and also one more hot-dog and relish from The Little'Hot- Dog Stand. So they did and then said Goody-Good-bye. A WALK TO SCHOOL It was a very cold WINTERS morn- ing and I was taking my time over some BARLEY that I was having for break- fast. My mother told me I BETTY LEWIS no MO'RE time because I knew she was WAISER than I. As I was sliding on the BANKS of the ditches while coming to school one of my teachers came SAUNDERING around the corner trying to WARD off the cold wind with her hands. I LONEY'D her my BLACK ear muf.s for her ears. We walked together for a while and then JOI-INSTON'S milk truck came along and gave us a ride. The back of the truck was filled with STOCK'ALE and we all had a drink. WHAT WOULD BECOME OF IIA IF Betty D. didn't giggle all period.
