8 VOX FLUMINIS Ap There is a young student called Harris, Whose threats, although loud, cannot scarris, Her horse is her pride, And she'd rather ride, Than skip off to London or Parris. There is a young student called Ferne Who strives to the utmost to lerne. She studies all night For each test so slight, But she still has a humorous terne. There is a young student called Bett Who this year is our newest pett. She seems to be glad To sit on the rad When not bouncing around in a frett. 1 Pat and Peggy, intelligent twins, Who resemble each other like pins, With brilliance abounding Their classmates astounding, They enliven the classroom with grins. There is a young student called Norman, Who in all types of sport is our forman, She is energy plus, And surpasses us In wearing out our weary scorman. There is a young student called Mary, Who of bread and potatoes is wary, Fort William's her home, But far does she rome To boarding school out on the prary. There is a young student called Ruth Who is filled with the laughter of yuth. But when sixteen of us Crowd into her bus, Her remarks are somewhat uncuth. In Science the star of the class Is Stirling, a clever young lass. In Chemics and Phiz She's a regular whiz, And makes the best marks of the mass. There is a young student called Jean, So short she can hardly be sean, Ambitious is she To learn how to be An actress of fame on the screan. There is a young teacher, Miss Grant, Who tries very hard and yet can't, Demolish her meal With gusto and zeal, So soon round her gravestone we'll chant. , N .i GRADE XI There is a bright girl from Kinistino, Who worked 'till she learned all there is-to-know, When asked, Aren't you weary? She replied, Oh! not veary, This clever young girl called Phyllis-o. We have a fair lass we call Babs Who never is seen in the labs, She's good in Home Ec, But her Algy's a wrec, And about our fair country she crabs. I And then there is blonde little Nora, Whom all the lads simply adora, She trembles in History, To her 'tis a mystory, For in subjects like that she can't scora. , SOUTH And then there is Emily Hayes Who sometimes is tempted to layes, But she's a good pally, For she's from Rose Vally, Our student called Emily Hayes. From the south comes Virginia Lee, Who has travelled o'er many a see, To school she has gone, But nowhere for long And we wonder if she's hereto stayee. In our classroom there's a gal name of Betty, Who went to a dance looking pretty, Her dress of bright green, - Made the lads exclaim keen, And her red hair caused comments quite witty.

10 VOX FLUMINIS There is a fair scholar called Leistikow To a dance at the Garry was ast-to-go, She replied, 'Tm so sorry, But Mother might worry. This exemplary student called Leisti- kow. And then there's our student called Mary, Who comes to our school from the prary, Her cheeks are so pink, When she comes from the rink, And she's never been caught bribing Gerry. Now we have a maid from Alberta, With whom all the boys like to fiirta, She moans at the rools, And doesn't like schools, This Phyllis who comes from Alberta. There is a young student called Jean, Who in music is terribly kean, In school she is lazy, Her history is hazy, And in study she seldom is sean. There is a young girl Mary Rose, When geometry comes she'll repose, For St. Boniface Seals, Her love she reveals, And to each hockey game always gose. There is a young student called Verna, Who from out of the window does lerna, Of things at the U, And paper boys tu, And for the outside she does yerna. From Alberta comes Phoebe Macnab, On whom teachers can't always keep tab, She hates making beds, And there's one day she dreads, That's Friday in Chemistry lab. From Gretna comes our little Pieper, For knowledge she always seeks dieper, She forever has fun, But her works always dun, So the teachers will never repiet'er. And now comes the fair Mary Raike, For quietness she takes the caike, Her secrets she tells To red-headed bell CSD. Now we wonder if everything's jaike. And then there's our boarder called Shaw, Who rooms with a girl from the Paw, She always has fun, And her work's never dun, And she's constantly breaking the law. The Pres of our class is called Pat, Of whom 'tis a well known fact, Her week-end she spends, With a lot of her frend CSD, But blushes when we mention that. There is a young teacher MacKinnon, Who tries hard to quell the loud dinnon, Her sarcastic remarks, Fly around us like sparks, And this is just the beginnon. GRADE X Barbara Allan-When I Grow up Coh!
