VOX FL UMINIS Page Four THE ROBIN A robin red-breast came to-day, He perched right on our .tree. I said, Ch robin, won't you stay Until I have my tea ? --Helen Margaret Palk, Grade I. PUSSY WILLOWS Pussy Willows soft and grey, Come in April, go in May, Wfhen the fuzz falls from the trees Then out you shoot your tiny leaves. -Joan Harris, Grade I. l. THE BUNNY There was a little bunny, Who looked so very funny, Hopping round and round, With his nose to the ground. He was hunting little roots, And tender little shoots, For it was his dinner time And so this ends my rhyme. -Joan Francis, Grade I. - TRICKS Two little acrobats doing some tricks, Along came four more, Then there were six. --Rosamond Esling, Grade II. .i. MY ROOM My room is a cozy little spot, It's never too cold, and it's never too hot. My dollies sit and wait for me, To bring my little friends to tea And spend such happy hours with me. And then when they have gone away, My books complete a perfect day. -Winnifred Ruth McIntyre, Grade II.

IN BED As I lie in bed With a pillow at my head I dream of things untold- Of pirates brave and bold, Of ships that come a sliding Into the long harbor riding, Of gnomes and fairies pretty, Of wizards tall and wittyg ' Of bathing children sweet- With sand strewn at their feetg But best of all my dreams Are of canoes and streams. But when for days I am in bed, I cannot dream of pirates red, But have to do as doctors order Until I cross the healthland border. -Isobel Hutchison, Grade VIII. .. - THE EASTER BUNNY Grade three and four had an egg hunt the day the school closed for the Easter holidays. Easter egg hunts began in Germany many years ago and now this game is played in many other countries. The children of Germany used to think that when they were good, the Easter Bunny would come to their houses and leave brightly colored eggs hidden in many places. If they had been naughty the bunny passed by their houses. Our Easter bunny left the eggs in the study room and we had lots of fun finding them. -Betty Bruce, Grade IV. . A STREAM Once upon a time a stream was bubbling down a hill. On his way he saw two ferns who were talking in a friendly way. He was very glad. Next he saw two stalks of corn in the held nodding and laughing in the sunshine. He laughed. When he had gone a mile or two farther he met two poplar trees singing with their leaves. He was very happy when he reached the sea that night. --Mary Harris, Grade IV. Eli.-.11 . . CUDDLES I have a dog now, two years old, A dog who's worth his weight in gold. I love him much, I called him Cuddles, And when he's out he wades in puddles. -Winnifred Davidson, Grade VI.
