Page Seventeen VOX FL U M I NI S OUR OLD FLAG Do you remember our old blue and white school flag that used to wave where our new building now stands? If it were to talk I wonder what it would say. Perhaps it might tell us this: When I look down I am able to see for miles around me. I see some lovely things and others that are poor and pitiful. I watch the .same people coming the same way at the same time every day. In winter I see many cars skid and when at dangerous corners I see accidents where people hurt or kill themselves. In the afternoons I look below me and watch the girls of Riverbend School to which I belong. g In the fall, I watch the girls coming back to school from their holi- days and playing out on the lawn. They practise baseball. high-jumping. broad-jumping, racing and other games. While they all study hard in the morning I peek through the windows of Riverbend or watch the other people. Then comes Field Day. I'm sure I get just as much fun out of it, watching the different classes compete, as any of the competitors or spectators. Then the cold winds blow and I'm almost sure that I will be blown off my high and interesting vantage point. Then the river begins to harden and the snow begins to fall, and when the girls come out to play they are all bundled up in fur coats and over clothes. They play very different games from those in the fall. Skiing, tobogganing. skating and playing in the snow, are their chief occupations during the afternoons. Then soon the ice on the river melts and the snow begins to vanish, and when the grass is as dry as before the winter the girls leaving off their heavier clothes come out and begin playing as in the fall. r When June comes there is a great reception out on the lawn and the girls are clad in white. There are festivities galore, and I grow sad be- cause I know they will now gather up their books and go home. This is almost the saddest day of the year for me, because I know for three long months I will not see them nor their gay play hour. Though I lift my head up and gaze all over the city watching other little girls playing hop scotch or older people playing tennis on the corner courts, I am never as happy as when I am watching the girls of Riverbend School. -Gwen Ramsay, Grade VII. THE PUSSY WILLOWS Pretty Pussy VVillows Budding on the trees, VVrapped in little furry coats To shield you from the breeze. Pretty Pussy Willows Do not go so soon, Stay with us please, just another noon. -Marguerite McDonald, Grade III.

Our costumes are blues, yellows, and greens, They are all alike, always it seems, Many people look at the man XV ho wears the hat, with a clue-clutch-clan. VV e have sailed many years, And have had many fears But pirate life is best for us, NVe do as we please, without a fuss. -Barbara Plews, Grade IVIII.
