VOX FLUMINIS GRADE VII CLASS NOTES Our room is large and airy, Our pals they number ten, Who really are quite merry When they have no pen. We dread the thought of Monday, But Tuesday is our best, And when we finish Wednesday v We really need a rest. When half the week is over And Thursday is begun We feel that wefre in clover For our week is nearly done. Florence comes along so neat Dancing in her pride, She always asks for things to eat With Marnie at her side. There's lots of fun in Mona-Shirley But trouble this does often bring, She's formed the habit of coming early Which is a very splendid thing. Uh, Carol is a quiet one As sweet as sweet can be And eleven pictures she has drawn Of people off to ski. Winnifred, one of our prettiest lasses, Is very good at all of her classes. She has brown hair, blue eyes and glasses And every year with honor passes. Margaret is an athlete, A scholar and our friend, She always comes to school quite neat And stays until the end. Barbara Ann is her real name, We often call her Bubbles, - She loves a horse with a long white mane But it causes her lots of troubles. Shirley is a jolly girl Who dances all day long, She is as sparkling as a pearl And fills our day with song. Lorna's best when she is skating, In riding she too does well, Of course she's very good at painting, And in our class she does excel.
