Fifth Form by Jean Cudney XIII Away up on a hilltop, a school there youill find, A place where friendly learning and fun has been combined. From first we entered in the doors, we five long years have worked And we will reap the harvest if our work we haven't shirked. The first four years were not all work, but then they weren't all fun, But when we reached that fifth form, it kept us on the run From the sunrise in the morning, 'till the wee, small hours of night, We toiled over text-books which provided no delight. While brushing sleep from out our eyes we went into the gym, To listen to the scriptures or sometimes to learn a hymn, While cheered by pleasant music, we leave not quite so gay, For Physics is a subject that is surely more than play. Those mysterious units of force and work are easy we were told, Since when , we're asked with patience have you been four quarts old . Next down the hall to the History class no time for relaxation, To study American Civil Wars and Canadian Confederation. Jn fr The math class in the morning dealt with triangles and force, And sines are mixed with cosines or something else of course Another one was Geometry where each one in deep pain Found that the old worn theorem was forgotten once again. J, ,A- ln English Lit. we rushed along, so at the major time, Weid not forget what Shakespeare said when he was in his prime We vainly searched page ninety-nine to find out what was said To learn a short while later that 'twas pages on ahead. This was the year for fifth form to learn four other years, So we would pass our: French test and end up not in tears. The poor professeur in despair was glad it was not he Who on the fifteenth of July, in misery would be. J, fl.

The greatest mystery of the year was all that chemistry, Whenever that huge book appeared we quickly turned to flee. Wie had to do experiments and courage never lack, But when we mixed two compounds, fear made us stand back. J, up With our parties and our trips in fun we did not lack And when we think of times like that I'm sure welll wish welre back. But if ever we were back again, in Physics and the like, Ilm sure the teachers would rebel and quickly go on strike. H II ll In The Attic by Jean Cudney XIII Have you an attic in your house? Well, if you havenlt, I am convinced that you are missing one of the most interesting, amusing, and to a certain extent educational rooms that you could ever enter., The attic, to me when a child, was a forbidden realm of childhood dr-eams. Everything in the world that we could have wished for to play with was hidden there. There was furniture to furnish our imaginary castle, dignified pictures to adorn the walls, and, the grea- test pleasure of all, long dresses and high heeled shoes to dress the queen of the castle., It is always a source of amazement to me on looking back, how I eScaped severely spraining my ankle -ee or some such catastrophe -- while wearing those lofty creations at the same time impeded by the flowing skirts of my grandmotherls former Sunday be st. I would parade in front of the cracked old mirror, admiring the folds of material and displaying all the heavy, inexpensive jewellery with which I could possibly have decked my person.. There were clothes enough here for any occasion my busy imagination could conjure up. Weddings, QI liked to have then often because it was pleasant to be a bride so many different times, although I always did wish I had another brother to change off husbands occasionallyl balls, even funerals were attended in that one room, so steeped in memory now. Yes, of all the places of my childhood none holds more numerous or more pleasant memories than the attic. H il ll
