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 PNYX TO A ROSE By Mable Fletcher Oh, lovely Rose! Thou art indeed most fair Of all the lovely, fragrant flow'rs that bless This weary world, and bring great happiness Unto we mortal nten. A perfume rare Thou hast, a subtle scent, which fills the air With pleasing fragrance sweet. The loveliness Of thy soft velvet petals l now press Unto my heart and breathe a fervent pray'r: Dear Father, grant that this sweet-scented flow'r, May teach unto Thy people here below A needful lesson. Through each earthly hour May we o'ercoxre each piercing thornfeach woe! For only when we conquer pain and strife Do we reveal the beauty of this life. A FORGOTTEN RIVER Hy Harold I-lodgkins It nestles in a foreign land A land that holds no name, Though girt with forest or with sand lt travels on the same. lt narrows through some stoney pass With mountains glowing down, Or winds about through flowing grass l-lemnied in by natures gown. Dark clouds may wander in the sky Above its sparkling waves, It cares not for it hurries byg Yes! one of Ocean's slaves. lt runs through wild untravelled land, It travels on the same Where girt with forest or with sand It gces without a name. THE OLD LEAVES By l-larold Hodgkins l can see the old leaves falling down Falling down on the cold clamp ground They, only left to lie and rot Their beauty soon will be forgot. Beneath the winte1 s frozefi snow. QWhy is it they are treated SOPD The time has not slipped far away When in the trees we saw them play, Their wondrous colours caught our eye Fluttering and waving in the sky And now they tumble back to earth Back to the place cf their early birth.
