Page Twenty-nine VOX FL UMINIS History is silly, With all its many facts. I stuff them all in so tight Until my brain just cracks! Hygiene may be useful, But it is so dry. Come! Let's go to fairyland, just you and I. The teachers are so very kind, I really hate to go, But I'd rather do without them, Than have to study so. I --Marion Haig, Grade VI. THE WIND I am the wind, So great and strong, I whistle and blow The whole day long. I make the branches Of great trees sway, While all the children Look up and say, Oh, hear the wind, So great and strong, He whistles and blows The whole day long. -Lydia Klein, Grade V. MY FLOWER GARDEN I have a pretty garden, With flowers pink and fair, Roses blooming in the sun, And bird notes everywhere. VV here bees may gather honey, And buzz the whole day through, VVho would not want to live like me? There are but very few. -jane Ellis, Grade V.

You will be glad to know that you have proved yourself to possess all these qualities? +P. Henderson, Grade X. A LA PLAGE Marie est une petite lille. Pendant les Vacances elle va au bord de la mer. Elle joue sur la plage avec son seau et sa pelle. Marie fait des chateaux de sable. Sur la plage elle porte un costume de bain. Elle se baigne 21 onze heures.

La mere est tres contente parce que Marie a trouve liecrevisse' -Margaret Aldous, Grade VI1. AT SCHOOL I do hate lessons, I don't think it's fair, To have to sit and study Instead of building castles in the air. Arithmetic is difficult, And grammar with its nouns, And spelling drives me crazy With all its different sounds. I sometimes really do try, But it does me provoke To have to sit and study 'Stead of playing with fairy folk.
