Le pecheur tire ses filets, un petit garcon regarde le pecheur. Il y une mere sous la tente, elle tricote un bas, et son petit lils est tres contenit parce qu'il fait des chateaux avec le sable.

SEA CHEST It was an old sea chest, Jewels glistened in the corners, Found in a pirate's holdg Rubies, sapphires and pearls- The silks and priceless treasures Shining rainbows of colour, Were mingled with Spanish gold. When flags on galleys unfurled. Priceless silks and spices, Musty treasures of war, Hid in the sea-worn chest, Found on the bleak sea shore. -Isabelle Hill, Grade XII. , gk j . r a,,, a X s i at a s r ,, ,, ,, The Pyramid

Page Nine VOX FLUMINIS Why! VVhat was this? Here she was back in the forest, just a little way from the castle. She looked around for the fairy, but found she was alone. Lavender sighed, I'll never eat another candy, -but she knew that She Would' ' -Ruth McFarlane, Grade IX. THE SCARECROW The scarecrow high upon the hill, Always stands so straight and still. He wears the farmer's old black hat, And he is stuffed to look quite fat. The farmer's wife gave him a coat In which his figure seems to float. Upon his hands he wears white gloves- To peck at these the birds all love. By day he looks so black and grim The children are half afraid of him. But crows and sparrows have no fear- They laugh and mock for him to hear: And riht in front of him they Hy Although he bears a gun on high: They steal and rob the farmer's grain Until he's driven quite insane. But' though by day he suffers shame, And'all the birds of him make game, At night he comes into his own- Stands like a king beside his throne. For the crows and sparrows have gone to nest, He's triumphant at last when they're at rest. -Muriel Neilson, Grade X.

Page Eleven VOX FLUMINIS JUNIOR MUSICAL CLUB This year we had the privilege of hearing several of Winnipeg's out- standing artists. Mrs. Arthur Henderson delighted everyone with her lovely playing. Her chief number was Schumann's Carnival which conitains twenty parts. One was able easily to visualize the different characters. Mrs. Henderson caught the spirit of each and reproduced it perfectly to her audience. Miss Myrtle Ruttan described a lovely holiday in New York, and told us of all the lovely performances she attended. In one of them, a Musicians Frolic, many celebrated artists and composers took part. Gwen Bowers, of the Lower School, had the honour of presenting Miss Ruttan with a lovely bouquet of Howers. Mr. Leonard Heaton enthralled us and we were loathe to let him go at the close of his wonderful recital. Punch and Judy, in particular delighted us. Mr. Stanley Hoban sang many old-world songs of the sea, some of them in the Gaelic tongue. Mrs. Flora Matheson Golden was a guest artist at the beginning of the season. Miss Stella Boyd assisted Mrs. Henderson at her recital and sang Dvorak's, Songs My Mother Taught Me, as beautifully as I've ever heard it sung. Miss Mary F. Robertson arranged a lovely programme in which Mary Bull and Beth Kennedy took part Ctheir contributions were a great credit to our school.j Mr. Bach explained in great detail the use and mechanism of the pedals in the piano. These are only a few of the line programs which we heard throughout the season. We look forward with pleasure to next year s presentations. -Betty McHattie. WANTED-A PLAYMATE If you know of a little boy About as old as meg If he likes to play with toys And climb a great big tree, If he wants to be a man- Or even a pirate boldg If he wants to sail the world To hunt for hidden gold, If he doesn't like little girls Who think they are so proud, If he likes to blow a horn And make it sound out loud: If he plays with puppy dogs And picks up green and squirming frogs, If he likes small pussy cats, And in his room keeps big white rats, If he plays at armies on the floor And does not cry when hurt or sore, If he wants to drive a rattling tram- Then he's just like what I am. Do you know a boy who'll come and be A pal of mine to play with me? He can batter my drum with an awful din, So long as he'll come to be my twin. -Muriel Neilson, Grade X.
