6 VOX FLUMINIS YE OLDE CURIOSITY SHOPPE EA, and there were four damsels. Fair they were, and wise beyond their years. Yea verily, and a nomad Cno punsj race were they, removing themselves from the higher realms of the twelfth grade to the lowly abode of the five and six. Yea, to the lowly five and six went they, once but a bare kitchen, but now-how changed! Ride with us, oh my friends, into the realms of imagination, and glance into the group of maidens assembled there. And lo, there are four girls-asleep? Nay nay, at work. At work, they are, and verily wan with the strain. First there is Beth Willson, snug is she in her se- cluded corner. Little Beth Corner we call her fthough, in truth, 'tis but our funb who warbleth so sweet in the Springtime Cor atany other time except when she's requested, for a modest lass 'tis shel. Then comes our Eleanore CTroupJ, a fanatical gleam of learning in her eyes. She thinketh, not sure now mark you, but maybe, that is per- haps, she may have attained her geo- metry sum. Smile we and say, Still waters run deep. Lo and we would pride forsooth, the now present, in next fair maiden. A pianist of note is she, yea and no mean scholar. Who is she? Wouldst thou but know, 'tis the Head Girl, Maurine Stuart. Nay, didst we now forget the other valiant student of the group. We would ibut speak and unto thee would say 'tis Peggy CCampbellJ, the Editor of the renowned Vox Fluminis. But why, the sage would ask, this calm prevailing here? Oh, know ye not? Prithee, glance up yonder. 'Tis small but dignified Miss Edgar who presideth there. Be dili- gent, saith she, exams Wince the maidens and toil once more. ' And then a change doth come. But a simple bell tolleth. Joy descendeth. Up glance the maidens and smile they-clasp each other and murmur, La, my dears, our toil is over for to-day. Thus depart we and leave--leave our four fair maidens, so happily at work, yea, so merrily-in their Olde Curiosity Shoppe. GRADE XI, NORTH There are sixteen girls in our grade Who from constant working have gra'de, For studies are hard, So our beauty is mard, And each doubtless will be an old made. There ith a young thtudent called Judith, Who cannot be thaid to be prudith, Nor doeth thhe lithp, But thpeakth very crithp, Thith verthe ith but meant to deludith. There is a young student called Dale, Who has never been known yet to fale. Her drawings are grate, Her hair red, by fate. She has brain waves that never grow stale. Marg Dowler, a very tall creacher, Now plans to become a gym teacher, When puzzled, she twirls And plays with her cirlsg But skating's her outstanding feacher. There are two young students called Marge, Who the ocean once crossed in a barge The crowning to see. And happy are we ' That they went from the school to see Garge. Marg Graban, a beautiful dream, Out of place in the classroom would seamg The Amph she enhances, And skaters entrances, To win all the games for their team.

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.
