VOX FLUMINIS ll Il V GRADE X Q THE BABY-THEIR MASCOT lWith apologies to Tennysonj Between the road and river lie Three buildings clear against the sky,- In one are girls who moan and sigh,- And in its midst a hall runs by Towards rooms where they get taught. And up and down the grade tens go Cramming what they ought to know, ' And when exams come-what a blow! Alas, they have forgot! And in their classroom all the year There is a picture hanging near The board where notices appear- An infant with a mirror clear- The baby-their mascot. Reflected in the mirror, girls, CWith tunics short and fuzzy curls, Each working till her brain just whirlsj Sprawl, looking very hot. Q There's Frances, who is still quite new, There's Winnifred with eyes of blue, And Constance measuring five feet-two, With Marilyn who's tiny too- In fact, she's just a dot. Vivian is tall and fair, Janet still prefers long hair, Pat was lately in despair- It was the mumps she'd caught. The president is Agnes, tall, Betty's famed at basketball, Morna writes for Douglas Hall, While Lydia remembers all The lessons she's been taught. The baby sees another sght- Miss Shillington in manner bright Teaching tens with great delight, To learn, they'd rather not.

VOX FLUMINIS Who are these, and what's their fear? For in the sunny classroom near Dies the sound of happy cheer, Exams for tens will soon be here ' To write them is their lot. The classroom's now a busy place, We'll leave them for a little space, God in his mercy lend them grace, Quoth baby, their mascot. GRADE IX We'd like to show you our grade nine- A roomful bossed by Caroline,- Miss Grant, form mistress of our grade, With patience does our troubles aid, There's Judy, one of the Bennett pair, And Marg, who finds exams a care. Another Marg is a hockey fan, Mary Rose and she talk as much as they can. Oh, Iris is our swimmer strong, And Lois shows her skill in song. Ruth and Louie a pair do make, For noise and mischief they take the cake. Pat Veysey looks across and winks At Phoebe who keeps us all in kinks. Verna is good at basketball, And Eleanor southward came, last fall. Peggy and Pat are tops in the class, Their motto is, We work to pass. T Our Marjorie's two musicians are, In studies to, they are much above par. Anne and Mary came this year As boarders, and we're glad they're here. Gur Titian Julie draws with skill, And Jean can pick up tunes at will. In skating and diving no one can surmount Our two famous athletes, Dowler and Lount By next year we'll have learned fwe thinkj That floors are not improved by ink, That books and blazers left around Will always find their way to Pound, That boards are really black, not grey, If someone cleans them every day, That when we want our friends about To hear us, we don't have to shout! Soon we'll be called Cwe dare to statel The model class of '38,
