THE. PELHAM PNYX SPRING, SUMMER AND AUTUMN FLOWERS Ev Marguertie Shaughnessy, GRADE IX. The crocus is a pretty thing, It comes in very early spring, Its eyes are closed when it appears But open when the skies are cleared. It wears a gown of snowy white, And makes a very lovely sight. The columbines come one by one Lifting their eyes up to the sun, Dressed in robes of purple state, And hoping that they're not too late. They peek above the garden wall To greet their spring friends one and all. What scent is that that fills the air? Ah! there's the maiden over there! To-day she's dressed in brightest red A band of dewdrops 'round her head. She's nodding to us, see, she knows That we all love the summer rose. Dressed in brightest gold attire Appears a lovely ball of fireg It holds its head so high and bold, You guessed it, it's the marigold. Its stem is sturdy, fresh and green, No gayer flower may be seen. Then to greet the happy day Come the mums so bright and gay, They grow in sizes large and small I think we love them best of all, Because we know they are the last Until the winter's snow has passed. 1 I-IOW-D' YE-SA Y-IT? By Joyce Gordon, GRADE IX. Since Jr. So-and-so and Mrs. What's her-name, Have been to see the Thing-m'jig, they've never been the same. Was it the What-chem'ea11-it, a Thing-m'bob, or two, That caused them to become this way? I wou1dn't know, would you?

THE PELHAM PN YX POETRY SECTION MY HOUSE ON THE HILL By Marguerite Shaughnessy, GRADE ix. A quaint little house on the brow of a hill, Vklhere everythings quiet, and peaceful, and still, With nothing around me but flowers and bees, And birds nesting high on the boughs of tall trees A little grey house with shutters of blue, And everything shining, and everything new, A gay little porch where roses entwineg The sweet scent of flowers, and odour of pine. A little blue door that is always ajar For old friends to enter from near and from far, A path winding far to the valley below Where often I wander to banish my woei Far oil in the distance there bubbles a brook Where fish swim and play in a shady green nook Now, oft times I wonder ifI ever will Own a quaint little house on the brow ofa hill A BLACKBOARD Hy Marguerite Shaughnessy, GRADE ix. I am hard, and black, and cold, I'm not young, nor am I old, Such a life as I must lead, Pains and sorrows I must heed. I-lere's the story of my life, Filled with laughter, ioy and strife: In the morning I arise, Wipe the chalk-dust from my eyes. Patiently I stand and wait For the day, when comes my fate. In come all the girls and boys, Bringing gladness, cares, and joys. Then they look at me and frown, I-low they wish that I'd burn down! Teacher writes upon my face Of all peoples, names and race, And the children at me stare, Oh, what tortures I must bear. Though I may seem grufl' and bold, I possess a heart of gold, When the children 'round me stand, I give them a helping hand.
