OAK LEAVES 1945 The bells are ringing and Lawd-a-mercy, here comes the bride! All in white with the most honorable Sir Howard beside her. An' just see the bridesmaids. I guess dat's how ya' do it when ya' got a name from the King. Den dey come through the Church door, and another weddin' is over. And now, maybe I'd better go an, git those people down by South Shore. I'm only an hour late! And so, the 'Mudian gathers up his reins, and clicks to his horses. My, but ain't it hot. They can't expect anyone on time with weather like this! There he goes, a perfect ole timer of Bermuda, taking his time without a care in the World. PHYLLIS MAYOR, '47. TO PRINCE A St. Bernard is not uncommon- But Prince is different from them all. Sometimes he answers when we summong More often he ignores the call. Oh Prince-my lop-eared St. Bernard- You'Ve such sad, kind, thoughtful eyes. You show for me so much regard 5 It's hard to criticise. For when I leave to come to school You seem to understand That I'll return to play and fool Goodbye -you lick my hand. BARBARA STEVENS, '46. .-.. . 1T TRUST Trust, they say, is a wonderful thing, It makes you feel aliveg It makes you want to laugh and sing, As for higher ideals you strive. DOREEN WHEELER, '46. 22!

OAK LEAVES 1945 FOUR IN A ROW HOLIDAY Golden hair, golden hair, shining in the sun, Won't you come away with me and have a little fun? Golden hair, golden hair, rippling in the breeze, Won't you come away with me-pretty, pretty please? Blue eyes, blue eyes, laughing at the sky Won't you come away with me and watch the clouds pass by? Blue eyes, blue eyes, dancing impishly, Won't you come away with me and see the emerald sea? Come my friend, come my friend, I'll take you by the hand, And we'll be off together in the summer's fairy land, Hurry now, hurry now, and we'll be off to play Through the woods and meadows wide, before the close of day. CONSTANCE PENN, '46. ' A 'MUDIAN Clop, clop, clop went de horses, a'takin' their time as usual. Barnabus, sittin' up der, his mouth so large, and beaming so hard, that his thick lips and his large nose met, smack together, was very happy, cos he was going to a weddin'. No, not invited, but who bothers to git invited in Bermuda? All ya' have to do is to follow the crowd, an' sit an' stare. He had been engaged by someone livin' down by the South Shore, but he had decided that it was too hot, an' anyway he wanted to see der weddin'. The most honorable Sir Howard's daughter was gettin' married. All the people were comin' in their best. Some in formals as d' Americans say, and some in just their Q'Sunday best . 21
