- Wworld Affairsu - by Cynthia McKee XII WTo what's this world coming?W I often ask Is world war brewing behind a mask Of fellowship, happiness?U All is so cosy! Just look at Russia and things aren't so rosy. There's war in Koreag in England the flood Has ravaged the country, and left only mud Where once stood their houses, proud and majestic, The tense situation seems more than just drastic. But now on the pleasanter aspects of life All is not merely hardship and strifeg The world wide Olympics are just in the making Far famed Championships just for the taking. And everywhere too is this British nation we breathless await the famed Coronation, The papers are filled with the writers narrations Of budgets and taxes, no matter one's station. There's part of the picture that we daily read About in the papers, and much more we heed, This nation has troubles and worries and sorrows But also its bright sides and happy tomorrows. - Our Chauffeur Q by Joanne Donaldson XII ' The driver of our morning bus Is full of fun indeedg I know why he's a cheerful cuss, His seat is guaranteed. A He sits up on his cushioned throne, And drives with all his mightg Hearing at intervals a moan Or the curdling yells of a fight. Sheila: I shall marry for brains . Valair: I shall marry for beauty. Camilla: Well, everybody for what he needs.

Q How Times Change Q by Clarence Proctor VXII Gone are the days in O.H.S, When the halls were described as a crowded messg Now all one hears is a rythmic beat, As the walls keep time to the marching feet. The students tramp by with a left and a night, Not one out of step from the morning till night. They sit at attention throughout the long day Then rise and salute when they have something to say.

One more year of this - I hope - My vocation will be labelledg I'll go into the world to work, If I'm not too dis-abled. Miss Kidd: Clarence, what is a toastmaster?
