Advertising , ,,,,. ,,,, A dvertisirig EDITORIAL HE Vox Fluminis has once more been edited, printed, and published. We, the editorial staff of the Vox Fluminis wish to thank the girls who have worked and contributed to the 1947 school year book. There was a great deal of fun in spite of the high prices and the difficulty of obtaining material. We started the book with plenty of enthusiasm and a theory that nothing would be printed that the girls themselves wouldn't like to read. We thought a few notices on the class-room black boards would be a sufficient reminder and Warning to start the literary contributions coming in. That was our first mistake. Oh, yes! There were may more mistakes. They were corrected. We decided that all the material would be in by the Easter holi- days. Was it? No, it was not. So it was decided that the dead- line would be stretched over the holidays to see if that wouldn't produce some efforts. A' bit discouraged we made the best of what we had. Hours were spent reading and re-reading the girls' poetry and stories. The pictures were taken, the cuts made, and the last minute rushes such as this editorial were sent to the printers .... Possibly the book is not as you would have arranged it, but the book is yours and what you made it. The literary contribu- tions are yours, the pictures are yours, and the books is yours and all that is in it. Riverbend has lived eighteen years and with the school has grown the Vox Fluminis. But even if the Vox Fluminis isn't quite up to what we thought it would be we were right in saying that it would be fun editing it. Page Three PRINClPAL'S LETTER Dear Girls, IT is astonishing how quickly spring follows spring, and Vox Fluminis follows Vox Fluminis. What confidence we have that spring really follows spring! It shows we really do believe God's in His heaven, all's right with the world. We take so many things for granted, and forget to be thankful. Spring will follow springg where will you be, say, twenty springs from now? You will have changed a great deal, but at heart you will have the same characteristics which you are developing now. Some of you will perhaps be in positions of great responsibility, you may even fhorror of horrorsj be teachers! Some of you will be married and have homes of your own. You will be fussy about the very same things regarding which you think your mothers are so fussy to-day. What kind of wives and mothers will you be? And what changes will there be at Riverbend? Larger buildings? a swimming pool? a garage for helicopters? These things may or may not be, but Riverbend's tradition and reputation in twenty years fas at the present timej depends on you-and you-and you. The future of a school depends on its students. You are giving your school its reputation by your courtesy, your consideration for others at all times, by your moral standards, your courage and your loyalty, much more than your academic success. Cultivate these qualities and your future and Riverbend's are secure. Yours affectionately, Page Four XX Wm M NMR A w ww wkxxxxxxwg, AMW' Wim W M 'WWmxxmmmuxkxmw W 'WNXXXM Q WV K xx X S Q .

MARY MATHERS OUR SPORTS CAPTAIN Patt McCarthy has been our sports captain 4' OUR HEAD GIRL Mary Mathers, our Head Girl for the year 1946-47, has secured her complete schooling at Riverbend. Mary was a capable secretary of Douglas Hall last year and gave us further proof of her efficiency in fulfilling her duties as Head Girl, Mary plans to take an Arts course at the University of Manitoba next year. We are sure her marks will continue to be outstanding, just as they have always been at Riverbend. We are grateful to her for working so loyally for our school, and wish her the very best of luck in the future. for the year 1946-1947. She has attended River- bend since 1944, and last year she proved to be an able secretary of Garry Hall. Patt is an all-round sportg she enjoys basketball, volley- ball and bowling and is a member of those teams. The letter G on her blazer pocket shows that she is a gymnast. She has fulfilled her duties very well and we are proud of her. Besides being a good sport, Patt is a good scholarg she is also a member of the Junior Fashion Council. She intends to go to Univer- sity next year, perhaps to take Arts. Our best wishes go with you, Patt. Page Six PATT MCCARTHY ,. Y .-ANN-H-12 - X ' rbi, fe '-ut ,Xp ppkgm 3, I 'x'Q?'6'?

As we look back to the golden days of September, the advance of winter in October and November, the happiness of the Christmas season, and the promise of spring in March and April, we realize that a year has passed, almost too quickly, it seems. What has happened to us, who have been pupils at Riverbend during this time? For one thing, most of us are a little wiser now than we were in September. Also, most of us have grown up a little more, and are now ready to face the work and fun of another year. Riverbend is partly responsible for this men- tal and physical growth. It, as a school, has played its part in shaping our lives, to enable us to face whatever circumstances arise. By acting as a testing-ground, it has helped, and will help us to discover the talents which will finally lead us to a rightful place as citizens of tomorrow. Therefore, school work should not be con- sidered an unnecessary chore. Preparation today for what may come tomorrow is one of the wisest and most necessary things in life. We, who are at the doorway to life, and who are dependent upon parents and teachers now, will some day be the ones upon whom others depend. It is for this day that we must prepare, and with the help of the knowledge we gain in school, we will move on, and help make a world of better things. Ad Meliora! MARY MA'rm-:as Dear Girls: Another year has come to a close., For us it has been a memorable year never to be for- gotten. For this, we have to thank you, the girls of Riverbend, for your co-operation. To be successful and happy a school needs the contributions of all the pupils, whether prefects, grade tens or grade ones. To those who take our places we pass on the duties which have been tradition through the years. THE PREFECTS MARY MACINTOSHZ Noted for: That United Pin! Interest: Young Peoples.

This space was originally for our annual column on staff weaknesses. This year, how- ever, despite much research, no such weak- nesses could be unearthed. So that the staff shall not feel neglected, we are dedicating their usual corner to them. Page Eleven GRADE ELEVEN RADE Eleven. That's the year where the girls start receiving flowers and jewellery, driving around wrapped in fur coats, in 1947 cars, and graduate from Blaire's to Moore'sf' That's the 10 months that makes or breaks a woman. That's the period where life goes on despite allowances being purged to the penny for some outlandish contrivance and last year's car licence is too, too prosaic! Well, let's take a look into the fabulous everyday life of these fortune-smiled-upon- females behind the ivy-covered walls of River- bend. The day begins at two minutes to nine, when last night's make-up is removed with the left hand, and the right hand is busily engrossed in doing first periodts homework fexcept for Mathers, who is completing next month'sD. The bell rings and they crawl into position. Two young ladies have propped themselves against the doors leading into the gym. There's always such a scramble for this position that they have been forced to submit entries as early as five to nine. The lucky two stumble up the steps to grin smugly at those 'tchildren of G sixteen and under. The final entrance is of the half dozen dollies who dish up the doleful days dilemna by giving an elusive shrug to their reefers, as two go to the right, two go to the left and two decide to go home. After prayers, the gracious grade elevens sweep back down to their humble abode of learning with Gloria and her bloomers taking a short-cut via the bannister. Upon entering the room, Mrs. Doerksen car- ries on a mute battle of the ventilation problem with Patt, while Barbara hugs the radiator affectionately. The roll is called when each demure damselle reports her presence or whispers her attendance as in the case of Breathless Beth, who sounds as if she is speaking from Russell. Mademoiselle McCarthy smashes the morning stillness with the much voiced plea of 'tHas anyone seen my ink? Phyllis is immediately sympathetic and issues forth with one of her inimitable French retorts of 'tVraiment -she'd shed a few tears only got up at seven o'clock to put that mascara on. Ruthe would have found it for her in pound. but she was too busy telling Mclntosh about last night's telephone calls and that she was just about Hcheesed off with life! Gwen listened to the gory details of Ruthe's romances, and then' very reverently reminded everyone that he-d-d-phoned. To be in love must be ghastly, but not to be in love is definitely worse! By this time Miss Dickson has entered the room, sat down, read a selection from Leacock's priceless little bookg doodled on her scratch- pad, said uh-huh and precisely a few hun- dred times, smiled amiably and left to conduct a class with her darling little cherubs in Grade Five. Bravo, Miss Dickson, they loved you for it! The next period being Gym, each girl sud- denly gets a stitch in the side, a broken leg, a funny feeling behind the ear or a definite headache. This is usually good for a laugh if not an argument and the class begins with one- half of the girls in the Gym and the other half in the library. From the latter, they view the rural scenes on Langside Street and show a charming disregard for the passage of time. As for their less fortunate sisters, they are upstairs braining themselves on those coconut mats. The rest of the morning goes quickly, and by eleven, everyone is sufficiently wide awake to absorb an abnormal half-hour of geometry, then curl up into a hexagon and die. Food brings them back to earth, as some go home to their hamburgers, some stay for sausages, and Gloria gloats over her calories. The afternoon jogs from French to Physics and finally collapse at Chemistry. Miss Shep- ley was defeated before she began, but remem- bering that Hlife can be beautiful, she doggedly carried on. Finally four o'clock and freedom for those fourteen languid ladies who rush off to the solitude of telephones, make-up, men, cars, radios and the quiet more essential things of life. Behind them the door closes on the past and opens into the present. It gave them all it could possibly offer, and they hand it on to the Grade Tens who already act too old, know too little and want too much. They took care of it and they hope that those mentioned will follow suit. For that Grade Eleven room has an astringent effect on those who spend a year there. It symbolizes, that the first leg of the journey is over, and they slip into second for the coming Hill. RUTHE MYLES, XI.

In the Yellow Room there are several young girls, One of whom has pretty red curls, Happy and carefree as any a lark, Of course you know this is Jane Park. Gay Youngson, her friend, has pretty grey eyes, And a smile that will soon send all the guys. Judy Denny, the smallest of the three, Is quiet as a mouse but busy as a bee. In the room that is known as the Red and Grey Here Helen Grant alone does stay. But for some company this year Part-time boarders often appear. Now in the Bubble Room we find Joyce Stovel, who over boys does pine. Next, Ruth Anderson, in Garry Hall, Is a whiz at maths and basketball.

From the beginning, an exceptionally high degree of spirit has existed, and although we carried off comparatively few trophies, we were always on hand to do our bestg and after all this factor in itself is the essence of true sportsman- ship. In the inter-house field day, our girls won the junior cup, and the seniors placed in various events. In basketball we took second place, and I would like to thank the girls for turning out so faithfully for practices. Our bowling team did very well, as did our volleyball team, which was nosed out of first place by Nelson Hall, 1946-1947 In regard to sports, may I take this opportu- nity to thank Beverly-Ann Laidlaw for carrying out her duties as sports captain so well, and also for giving me such support during the year. Viewing the housepoint situation I again thank the girls for really trying, especially in the junior school where standouts such as Diane Johnson and Dulcie Ann Thomson raised our average considerably, In each activity, our House was well repre- sented. In selling tickets or in packing hampers, York girls did their share, always with a ready smile and helping hand. This type of House spirit made me proud and honored to be Prefect for the year 1946-47, and to all the members of the House, I offer my sincerest thanks for their interest and whole- hearted co-operation. RUTH MYLES. Page Eighteen DOUGLAS HALL 1946-1947 DOUGLAS Hall has been very fortunate this year in having Mary Mathers, Head Girl, among its members. As a result of a little extra effort on the part of the girls, Douglas was able to Win the house- points for the fall to Christmas term. An activity enthusiastically undertaken and enjoyed by all the girls was the supplying of Christmas gifts to the Point Douglas Mission. As the time for the Lilac Tea approaches, Douglas Hall hopes to be able to live up to the fine record achieved by the girls of Douglas last fall. Our sports captain, Lois Huggard, and secre- tary, Julie Harris, deserve special credit for their efficient handling of the sports schedules and housepoint lists. The co-operative spirit of both the girls and the staff members, Mrs, Little and Miss McKay, of Douglas, have combined to make this a year which I will remember with pleasure. PEGGY DOLMAGE. Page Nineteen CARRY HALL 1946-1947 GARRY Hall has experienced a very success- ful year. We had as staff of our house Miss Burns, Mrs. Doerksen and Miss Arnold. We were very fortunate in having Patt Mc- Carthy, the school sports captain, as a member of Garry. We heartily congratulate Donna Smale and Shelagh Lawson on their co-opera- tion as house executives. The field day proved a successful event for Garry as we won the senior activity trophy. A Christmas hamper was prepared and de- livered by the members of the house. A letter of appreciation was received from the family to whom the hamper was sent. As the year comes to a close I wish to extend my appreciation to the staff and members of Garry Hall for their co-operation. PHYLLIS HUSTON. Pace Twenfu 'h 1' ex 'BS - I Q NELSON HALL 1946-1947 ' 1946-1947 has proved to be a very successful year for Nelson Hall. We were certainly favored in having such a capable sports captain as Gwen Alsip, who with untiring effort coached us and got the teams out to practices. Our in- dustrious secretary, June Baker, has shown us what an efficient person she is and she managed to put us in second place for housepoints at Christmas and first at Easter. We Worked hard for these housepoints and we hope to receive the shield at Graduation. Our staff, Miss Martin and Mrs. Low, have been an asset in helping to put over our housepoint campaigns. Our treasurer, Barb Champ, managed the funds for our Christmas hamper very nicely. Our ham- per, I feel, was a good example of the co-opera- tion of Nelson. We delivered a large well equipped hamper, which included both food and clothing. Shortly after Christmas we received a very nice letter from our family expressing their appreciation. Our house was very fortunate in having a large number of girls who were interested in sports. Our basketball team was victorious and before Christmas we succeeded in winning the Inter-House Basketball cup. Bowling proved to be an interesting sport and we were lucky to win the Inter-House Bowling trophy also. The volleyball tournament was a long drawn out seige. Our team was really tops and our enthusiastic girls carried of the Volleyball cup before Easter. A great deal of credit goes to these teams who played so staunchly for Nelson. I would like to thank the staff and girls of my house for their co-operation and loyalty, in helping to make my year as prefect of Nelson Hall a pleasure and a memorable experience. MARY MCINTOSH.

Each girl re- ceives individual attention to give her a chance to show her ability, The school's gymnasium has a court of regu- lation size for basketball and volleyball, the two most emphasized sports. The girls also participate in bowling, badminton, baseball, tennis, and gymnastics, and display excellent sportsmanship at all times. The First, Second, and Junior Basketball teams took part in the annual games with St. Mary's and Rupert's Land. In February the basketball teams had the privilege of going to Kenora for a day, where two close games were played, and the girls had a very pleasant day. Nelson House was outstanding this year in winning the basketball, volleyball, and bowling, inter-house competitions. Garry won the field- day. Inter-house badminton and tennis results are still unknown. The girls are grateful to Miss Martin for taking charge of the bowling league this year with her usual enthusiasm. We would also like to express our gratitude to Miss McKinnon, who in her first year as gym teacher at River- bend, has entered into the games with keen interest, and shown us what an all-round good sport she is. As a result of the active participa- tion of the girls and teachers in sports, this year has been a very successful one. PATT MCCARTHY, Sports' Captain.

An beth- Obb, Eliza Jocelyn R erson, Elaine Mclnnis, nd Ruth A Front Row: BOWLING Every Monday after school hours Miss Martin and many enthusiastic girls bowl at the Mall. Before Christmas a keen competition was car- ri-ed on between the houses. Nelson and York took part in the play-off games. Nelson came out on top, although the scores were very close. June Baker won the prize or the highest bowling average. Since Christmas bowling has been continued as usual except that there is individual competi- tion instead of house competition. The girls enjoy bowling and appreciate Miss Martin's help and interest. CATHERINE ANDERSON. BASKETBALL Basketball has always been the most popular sport at Riverbend. This year there were only two senior teams and one junior team, whereas in the previous years there were three senior. A great deal can be said for the energy and enthusiasm with which the first team carried out the season's schedule. The second team displayed excellent teamwork. Interest and team spirit were maintained throughout the year by the juniors. This year our basketball teams played the Kenora High School basketball teams both at Kenora and in our own gym. This was a new venture and the girls enjoyed it very much. The girls are especially grateful to Miss Mc- Kinnon, who is responsible for the visible improvement in the teams this year, and for lay- ing the groundwork for next year's teams. C. DOWLER, M. MACINTOSH, L. HUGGARD. VOLLEYBALL The volleyball inter-house league was begun early this year. The games were very close and the teams had the enthusiastic support of their houses. Nelson House won the volleyball cup for this year, At present we are attempting to arrange for competitions with volleyball teams from other schools, but these arrangements are not yet underway. BADMINTON Like all other sports this year practice time has been cut short and as a result there has not been a great deal of badminton played. The different houses held their practices on Satur- day mornings and at noon hour. During April the annual tournament started and the houses were out in full force to support their players. GWEN ALSIP. THE BALLET RIVERBEND School is indeed grateful to the Winnipeg Ballet for sending some of their leading dancers here to teach the girls. The classes, which are held on Mondays and Wed- nesdays, are under the supervision of Miss Joan Stirling and her assistant, Miss Joyce Clark. The accompaniment on the piano is played by Miss Ruth Gordon. Each class is now busy learning a dance for the Lilac Tea, which will be held in May out- side on the lawn. Much enjoyment is obtained from these classes besides the satisfaction of learning a distinguished art. J oAN RoBER'rs.

Page Thirty MUSIC SECTION y , .ey Mv . ,,, 'line-Q MISS EILEEN ARNOLD MISS T. ASGEIRSSON MISS E. DESBRISAY MRS. F. CHRISTIE Page Thirty-one THE VALUE OF GCOD LISTENERS MANY music lovers do not realize that by being better listeners, they can do much to promote a wider appreciation of music. The majority of concerts and radio programs which are given for commercial purposes are arranged with a view to pleasing the popular demand. That popular demand can be intelligent and worthwhile only if the listener knows how to listen for the best in music. To be a good listener, every music lover should study either the voice or an instrument for several years-at least until he can perform a representative list of the simpler classics. By doing this he will learn to recognize the style of the different periods in musical composition. He will also become more conscious of beauty of tone, dynamics and phrasing. In addition he should study the historical progress of the musical instruments and the lives and works of all musical composers. Music study of this kind will help the music lover to develop the necessary knowledge for comprehensive lis- tening. Then, of course, to become a well educated listener, one must constantly expose oneself to the finest music available. There are three familiar mediums through which music may be heard-the concert hall, the record player and the radio. The record player is the most useful to the students, since records may be repeated several times until all aspects of the performance are fully grasped and appreciated. Before hearing a radio or concert broadcast, the music enthusiast should read about the works to be performed and if possible listen to a recording of the works. It is in the concert hall that the presence of intelligent listeners is especially desirable. Many famous performers state that they can feel the mood of their audience, whether hostile, friendly or disinterested, as soon as they reach the stage. If all concert-goers were to adopt an interested and appreciative attitude towards the performer they might invoke a much more inspired interpretation. At any rate, if they are too critical, and concentrate on picking out all the flaws they will miss much of the true worth and beauty of the music. No matter h-ow indifferent a member of the audience happens to be, he can at least show his co-operation with the artist in the practical way by refraining from making any disturbance which might detract from the performance. It is said th-at Dr. Pachmann once stopped during a piece, turned to a lady in the front row and said: Madam, I am trying to play this Chopin Mazurka in three-four-you persist in fanning yourself in two-four-I cannot keep my balance. Above all the members of the audience should avoid insincerity of opinion. They should not accept the judgment of others, but make their own criticism based on their own previous lis- tening experience. Any other sort of criticism may be harmful both to the artist and to them- selves. Finally, all music lovers should give tangible proof of their appreciation of the best in music by supporting the best concerts in their locality, buying only the finest records and by letting their radio stations know when they have especially enjoyed a good program.

It was, of course, at the proverbial Uptown Theatre and although the picture didn't exactly get the Oscar it did attract attention and net proceeds amounting to 95200. Ticket sales were carried with keen competi- tion in each House. An excellent system, under- taken by Miss Martin, enabled the sales to pro- gress smoothly. Nelson sold the highest number of tickets with Douglas, Garry and York follow- ing in respective order. When the big nig-ht came, ushers in red and grey intermingled with diamonds, furs and Chanel No. 5. It was indeed an unusually big evening considering that two out of the three door prizes were awarded to Gay Youngson and Miss McKay. Insinuations of pull were hinted, but were dismissed when 'twas reminded that York's own Dulcie Ann Thomson did the drawing. This left no traces of doubt whatsoever as everybody realizes the high status of York Hall Cplugl. Another joyous fact was attributed to the fact that the night was void of homework. Needless to say this met with highest approval and the order was carried out to the most minute detail. So you can see that the evening was a great success to everyone concerned, and we all hope that our first 'Theatre Night shall not be our last. R. MYLES. 'A' On the morning of February 26th, Messrs. Bevin and Pratt very kindly showed the girls of this school several selected movie shorts. One, in technicolor, was on fire prevention. It was very interesting, and certainly showed us how little it takes to start a forest fire. Next there was a movie on the Indian writer, Grey Owl, and his animals. His pet beaver's antics were highly amusing. Then came a movie on the growth of our forests, trees and plants, showing the workings of the cells of a leaf. Each short was accompanied by comments from Mr, Bevin. Lastly there was a color cartoon about the trials and tribulations of a kangeroo. Our Head Girl, Mary Mathers, thanked the two men with a little impromptu speech. NANCY MERRILL. 'A' INITIATION Thursday, October 31, dawned bright and cheerful for everyone but the newcomers to Riverbend, who were shaking in their boots. This was the day-Initiation Day at Riverbend -a day in which all the old girls revel in their pranks which are all directed towards the new girls, who are completely at their mercy. School proceeded as usual during the morn- ing except for the odd look in the eyes of the new girls. The festivities began in the after- noon. The entire school assembled in the gym Cnot the new girls, of courseb. They remained behind the scenes and made themselves pre- sentable in one way or another with the help of a few energetic Grade Elevens. When they finally succeeded in wrecking the girls by put- ting their tunics, ties and blouses on backwards, they tied their hair in rags, put various types of shoes and stockings on their feet. and made them model for the on-lookers, Jocelyn Robb succeeded in performing this very well and therefore won the honored title of Miss Lena the Hyena for the afternoon. A number of the new girls contributed to the entertainment by singing, dancing and reciting. The staff and the whole school took part in the games and the fun. The afternoon passed quickly even for the new girls, who were now a real part of the school. CATHERINE ANDERSON. Nelson Hall, Grade X. 'A' OLD GIRLS' DAY Last year, Old Girls' Day was held on a shining May day. On this occasion many of our new and not-so-new alumnae came to play games or just visit, After four o'clock, baseball and volleyball teams of old girls and new girls were or- ganized, and after these games were played an exciting basketball game took place in the gym. All participants enjoyed themselves. Probably some protesting muscles made themselves felt before long! The alumnae specially invited the Grade Elevens to a box-supper after which an alumnae meeting took place. Events of the year were reviewed, and the prospective gradu- ates were introduced to the rest of the alumnae. After the usual gab the meeting broke up and another Old Girls' Day was over. 'A' SADIE HAWKINS' DANCE Shortly after nine o'clock on November 15th, the first grade ten and eleven girls arrived with their escorts to spend a pleasant evening chatting and dancing in the drawing room. Miss Carter graciously received the couples. Music was supplied by many popular orches- tras via the phonograph. Dancing continued until shortly after midnight when the crowds dispersed to various restaurants to finish off the evening with cokes. We wish to thank Miss Carter and all the girls who worked together to makethe dance such a success. Page Thirty-four CHRISTMAS PARTY Miss Carter was hostess at our Christmas party held on December 20th. The skits this year were particularly well done, as well as humourous. Grade seven presented an amusing little comedy concerning a party, and love at first sight. Grade eight gave their interpretation of radio commercials. Grade nines rendered an imaginary quiz program between Ravenscourt and Riverbend, Riverbend coming out victori- ous. The teachers presented the different class rooms as they saw them. The pupils were forced to guess which room they portrayed. The grade elevens came last. As is customary, they took off the teachers. This year it was done to a very ingenious poem, composed by one of the girls. The remainder of the evening was spent dancing. Just before the end of the party, we sang the old Christmas Carols. Everybody enjoyed themselves to the utmost. M. N. if LILAC TEA Lilac time at Kew is said to be very beautiful but Riverbend is also a sight to behold in May, when the mauve scented lilacs are in full bloom. As it is the custom each year, Riverbend has a tea at this time. Last year the weather did not permit having the tea outside. The houses each secured ra corner of the dining room. The four house tables were decorated very brightly with colorful spring fiowers and burning candles. The banners were tacked up on the walls to direct the people to the table of their choice. Everyone took part in making the tea a success. The tea and fish pond netted a large sum for the United Church Fresh Air Camp. Riverbend thanks her many friends who so generously supported the tea and helped to make it the usual success. MARY MCINTOSH, Grade XI, Nelson Hall. 'A' GRADUATION - 1946 The seventeenth graduation of Riverbend School was held on Wednesday, June 12, 1946. The closing exercises, which took place at West- minster Church, commenced at 3 o'clock. The programme began by the singing of the school hymn by the students, followed by a prayer by Rev. Dr. Howse. Two selections entitled To Music and On Wings of Song were presented by the Junior and Senior Glee Clubs under the direction of Mrs. Robert Christie. Dr. W. G. Graham gave an inspiring address to the graduates after which the were the presenta- tions. These presentations were given to girls who appeared outstanding in their work throughout the year in sports as well as their studies. After the closing exercises all present at the church gathered on the lawn of the school for a garden party. A dance was held in the evening in the draw- ing room for the graduates, all of whom agreed they had spent a day they would long re- member. BARBARA CHAMP. 'A' JUNIOR PLAYS Congratulations to the Junior School for providing such an enjoyable evening on March 2lst. Under the able direction of Mrs. Low and Miss Dickson two plays were presented for the friends and parents of Riverbend girls. The first play, Betsy,s Wish, took us back to the land of fairies and elves, with the ever delightful magic wand! Colorful costumes and soft music opened the door to our imagination, providing an atmosphere for such intrigue. The second play, given by Grades 7-8, was received with an equal amount of enjoyment. Humor and satire intermingled to form a pic- ture of court life when the only kings and princess were those who peeked from behind the pages of story books! All due credit goes to the girls and members of the staff who worked so whole-heartedly to present the plays which the school takes such interest in each year. R. MYLES.

We were all in high spirits because we were going to play our first and last out-of-town game with Kenora. Besides Miss MacKinnon, our basketball coach, Miss Carter, Miss MacKay and Mrs. Little also accompanied us on our enjoyable trip. They made a loud and welcome cheering section for us during the games. When we first arrived we thought we had been forgotten. However, after a few phone calls our hostesses arrived. The games commenced at three o'clock with a good attendance of Kenora people, who cheered their girls on. The junior game proved fast and exciting, the final score being 21-all. Both of the teams made some very fine shots and passes. The senior game was also a thrilling display of sportsmanship. The score was not favorable to us Riverbenders, being 33-22 for Kenora. However, it was also a fine game. Dinner was welcomed by both teams after the strenuous games. It was all well organized. Each Kenora girl took a Riverbend girl as a partner, and we were soon eating the delicious dinner. All too soon this wonderful day came to a close, and we had to leave our new friends. None of us will forget the exciting day spent playing basketball with the friendly Kenora girls. RUTH ANDERSON. 'k BEAU AND ARROW DANCE This year the Beau and Arrow Dance was held on February 14th in the school gym. The gym was tastefully decorated with red and white hearts and cups. Gaily colored streamers hung from the beams. Cfr Gillis and his orchestra supplied the music. Before the dance, coke parties were held at various hcmes. Acccrdlng to all reports, the dance was a terrific success. Page Thirty-six F? h Sal-I i l R R yf - I4 4 H ll OUR LIBRARY One of our most enjoyable rooms in the school is our library. Here we all spend our leisure time reading the books which line the walls. It really consists of two rooms, one of which furnishes us with books of knowledge on nearly all subjects. The other room is mainly for fiction books and is provided with comfort- able chairs. Small tables and chairs are dotted about for those who wish to study or write, while fluorescent lights are situated in both rooms. Recently there was a new supply of books donated by several kind friends of the school and with the help of Mrs, Benett they were all catalogued. Hence with every new addition our library is becoming more and more de- lightful throughout the years. JOAN ROBERTS, Douglas Hall, Grade X.

MIM: HOW THE DAYS OF THE WEEK GOT THEIR NAMES Sunday Apollo was the sun god. He had a son named Phaethon. Apollo had many attend- ants. He had the years, months, weeks, days and hours. Phaethon one day asked his father if he could drive the chariot. His father did not want him to drive it. But Phaethon begged and begged, so that Apollo finally gave in, and said his son could drive it. So Phaethon started on his way. The horses knew that they had a new driver and raced and raced. It seemed as if the whole world was on fire. The Big Bear and the Little Bear were scorched. So Phaethon called to Jupiter and Jupiter threw bolts of lightning. Phaethon was struck and drowned in a river, His sisters came and cried and cried, until they were turned into poplar trees. AUDRY STUBBS, Nelson Hall, Grade IV. Monday Diana is the goddess of the moon. She is the twin sister of Apollo, the god of the sun. Apollo wanted Diana to love him better than she loved Orion, who was a great hunter. Orion had the power to walk under the water. One day he was bobbing along with his head out of the water when Apollo came along. He told Diana to shoot at his head, so Diana, not knowing who it was, killed him. She was sorry and put him up in the sky, she put his dog, Sirius up in the sky with him. One of the feasts that was held for Diana had round cakes like the moon with candles on them. They were probably the first birthday cakes ever made. When Apollo drove the carriage through the sky, Diana was at home. Then when the night came, Twilight opened the doors and Diana rode out. She had temples in honor of her. She was the goddess of the moon, hunting, boys, and girls, slaves and animals. Maia and her six daughters, who were Diana's attendants, were the daughters of Atlas, the god who holds up the earth on his shoulders. They had been afraid of Orion because he was a hunter so they went to Jupiter to help them. He turned them into pigeons and they flew up into the sky and still are there now-The Pleiades Group. SALLY TRUEMAN, Douglas Hall, Grade III. Tuesday There was a very brave god named Tyr or Tiw. He was a Scandinavian god of Denmark, Norway and Sweden. He was also the god of war, peace and honor. He is the same as the Roman god Mars. He is a one-handed god be- cause a big giant Taki was always causing trouble. The king ordered his sons, Fenris, Midgard and Hela, to come to him. Fenris was a wolf. Midgard a serpent. Hela was death. They threw away Midgard and Hela, but they had a hard time with Fenris, the wolf, because he was so strong. He said that if someone would put his hand in his mouth he would have the big chain around his neck. So Tyr put his hand in Fenris' mouth and Fenris got angry and bit off the hand. For this Tyr or Tiw was given the third day of the week. CAROL MACAULAY, Douglas Hall, Grade IV. Wednesday The father of all the gods in the Scandinavian countries was Woden, from him Wednesday got its name. Woden sent two ravens, Hugin and Munin, out over the world so that he would know everything that was going on. They brought back the news. Woden liked to have feasts but he never ate meat, so he gave the meat to the two wolves by his feet. He never invited anyone unless they had died in a war. The gods lived at Valhalla. They threw some runic sticks up in the air and when they came down they throught that they spelled words. But the Roman Augurs thought the chickens foretold prophecies. MARGARET MCMURRAY, Nelson Hall, Grade IV. Thursday There was once a god named Thor. Thor was Odin's eldest and strongest son. Now there were three things that helped Thor. They were a hammer, belt and iron gloves. When Thor threw his hammer it came back again. When he put on his belt it made him stronger than before. But he had to use his iron gloves if he was using his hammer. One day he lost his hammer because Thrym Ca giantl stole it. While Thor was wondering where it was, Thrym was wondering where to put it Cfor the gods could easily find itb. Finally he decided to bury it under some rocks, and said he would not give it up unless he had Freya for a bride. So Thor decided to exchange with Freya and so they went to where they were to be married. So Thrym gave his bride the hammer and Thor pulled off the veil and killed Thrym and got back his hammer. Thursday is named after Thor, J OAN BATHGATE, Nelson Hall, Grade III. Friday Friday got its name from Freya, the woman Thrym wanted to marry in the story of Thurs- day, or from Frigga, wife of Odin, mother of Thor and Baldur. Odin and Thor had a day so they thought that Frigga should have a day named for her. Frigga and Freya were the godesses of beauty, fruit and flowers-that's how Friday got its name. ONALEE RUDD, York Hall, Grade III. Page Forty-six Saturday Saturday was named for Saturn. Saturn's mother was the earth and the sky was his father. Saturn was one of the first gods. Jupi- ter was his youngest son. Saturn was very cruel and had eaten up all the rest of his sons. He had a hard time with Fenris, the wolf, be- cause Jupiter's mother fooled him and wrapped up a stone. What Saturn ate was really a statue. The seven day's feast was the Saturnalia and all the slaves were let out. They had their supper with their masters. All the children were let out of school. At Saturn's feast they all gave wax candles. That is probably why we have candles at Christmas, because our Christmas is much like Roman Saturnalia of long ago. We have happy times at our Christ- mas festival, but they enjoyed cruel games like the gladiator fights. PATSY SMITH. Garry Hall, Grade III. 'A' AN UNSUNG HERO IT was in the year of nineteen thirty-nine. From all parts of the country came boys and men, flocking to the cities and the larger towns. Big men, little mean, weak and strong, with faces as varied as their nationalities. Some of those boys were barely seventeen. Others were forty-seven, but whatever their age, they were uniting together to form His Majesties forces. Many the home was the scene of a bitter argu- ment. Too young-too old-just right! But those who were accepted, I should say those thousands of soldiers, sailors and airmen. where did they go? Are they all back? No, not all. Some died, some stayed, and some never got over. But they all fought for six hard years, and the question is, what were we meant to do about it today? Back they came. Some walked and talked but they could not see. Some heard but they could not move. The remainder who had part of their stomach or their scalp missing, those whose two fingers were learning to manipulate a spoon, and those whose nerves and reflexes were gone. They came back to what? Why to be our Unsung Heroes. The first step was to get used to the civilian routine of living. Very easy! They each had a little button on their lapel. That meant pity or good boy. The first few months were the hardest and perhaps the happiest. Money was theirs, homes were theirs, but the satisfaction of security was not. For the last six years they had been occupied with strategic work. Now there wasn't anything strategic-there wasn't any work. Veterans come first! So the University was packed with the serious youth of yesterday. The blue shirts and the army pants were the popular college garb. Army shoes were fine, and those knap-sacks carried the books. But what about it? They meant business. What were all those children doing in University-those bobby sox and crew-cut characters. No time for such nonsense. The times had changed but not for them. So these boys continue to catch up on five years of lost education. The home life was hard, too. Mothers were continually primping and pampering. Fathers were concerned about the social and community adjustments. Still there was no Hail the Con- quering Hero -that vanished after the first contingent had returned. No more of that Wel- come Home, Well Done, Boys! -that was extinguished after the first few thousand. No! The only recognition came from the headlines in the daily papers-'Veterans Become Serious Problem. Those were our Unsung Heroes. Those whose lives were at the ripened spot for future references, got out and looked for work. Under the D.V.A. they received an education for a fixed number of years, and a monthly allowance. Marriage was a twenty- four hour business for the jewellers and the ministers. Population was on a rapid increase and shortages seen hand in hand with such activities caught the country around the stomach, and set it down upon the doorstep of inflation. Prices rose, taxes rose, shortages in- creased, population increased, and the Govern- ment's lay-away budget was brought out in the light to look for possible holes and flaws. As life looks, today, the number one question is whether these last years of toil, suffering and heartache have been in vain? Are the democratic countries of the world once again going to send their flags into battle, and are the standards of today to be trodden upon by in- vading forces, and washed with our country's blood? Surely the men of this day and generation can come to a peaceful solution. Let the world get back on its feet, with a higher economic standing and Christian ideals. Let these boys who have sacrificed so much, get a start in life, so tomorrow and the day after tomorrow can be bright with the sunshine of future happiness? For there shall be no more Flanders Fields or Normandy Beaches. Those who returned are tiny torches of our every day freedom. They stand for what the world has been striving for, since time began. Hail them, then as soldiers of today, not yesterday. They gave us their all, let us give them our all. Backing-Courage and Recognition! RUTHE MYLES. Grade XI, York Hall. ir MINNEAPOLIS SYMPHONY WE have arrived Several minutes early and will have just time to get settled and to have a little chat. The noise is a little louder than one would expect it to be at a concert. and Page Forty-seven what with the orchestra tuning up and every- body having a alittle chat, it adds up to quite a buzz. Glancing at our program I can see that, as usual, I can recognize none of the selections the orchestra will play. I d0n't really know much about classical music and I have no particular interest in it, but as the symphony comes only once a year, I usually attend and become ex- tremely classical for one afternoon. As I am reading this program, the noises suddenly stop and there isn't a sound except for a sophisticated cough from the balcony where a lady is looking for some attention. Looking up I see a little man climbing onto a platform. I could not afford a box seat, and so, from where I'm sitting, I can tell only that he is a man with a shiny bald head. I gather from my knowledge of concerts that he is the con- ductor, for he makes a speech which isn't ex- tremely professional and I seem to recollect having heard it somewhere before. When he is finished he turns toward his men who proceed with several minutes of tuning up. Then there is one loud chord and a lot of commotion while everyone stands up for the National Anthem. When the noise of the people finding their belongings and once again seating themselves dies down, the orchestra begins its first number. I must admit that after several minutes of forced interest my eyes began to wander about the auditorium. The seating is definitely divided into classes of people. For example, in the balconies and the box seats, sit the finer class of people who come mainly to hold their glasses at the end of their noses and never take their eyes off the orchestra to glance sneeringly at my class. These people, despite the temperature, sit motionless throughout the entire program with a false ex- we have the come simply The school sitting pain- their fur coats and maintain pression of intent interest. Next commonest of classes, those who to watch and enjoy the concert. children, behind them, are either fully still or are moving from side to side on their chairs, giggling and whispering un- important remarks. Last and probably least comes my class, sitting gazing around the room criticizing others, I am suddenly brought back to reality by the roar of applause and looking once more to the stage I see the little man bowing left and right and everywhere and continuing to do so until the applause fades and dies. The music begins again and as I have finished my rounds of inspection, I sit, as one of the com- mon class, and watch the orchestra, as interested as I look and as contented as I feel, By the time the strains of God Save the King reach me, I have thoroughly enjoyed myself and am look- ing forward to next year's appearance. CAROLYN DOWLER, Nelson Hall, Grade X. Page Forty- AN EXCITING ADVENTURE TWO barefoot Chinese boys, Ku Leng and Nan Chung, were walking down the dusty road toward the harbour when Ku Leng cried, Look, there is a pirate ship pulling in at the dock. Real cross bones and a skull on the flag, said Nan Chung. Let's go aboard and see what we can find, said Ku Leng. They crept slowly and quietly on to the ship and down one of the long corridors and into a dusty room. As soon as they were safely inside, Ku Leng whispered to Nan Chung that he smelt meat cooking and that most likely the pirates were feasting ov-er the good luck they had on their trip around the world. Suddenly there was a loud resounding crash and Ku Leng had turned around to find that his friend had tripped over a small chest, which was one of the treasures which the pirates had. When he was standing on his feet again the boys ventured to see what was inside and to their surprise they found twenty times their weight in gold. We will be rich, they both cried together. When it was dark and the men were asleep, the boys crept off the ship and started toward home. DULCIE ANN THoMsoN, York Hall, Grade VI. if ROADS TO ROAM YOU are a shiftless old tramp. How do those ' words sound in your ears? Perhaps you would feel insulted, injured, mad, or just in- different. Certainly that accusation would never make you feel honored. Supposing just for a minute or an hour that the rough hand of fate made you nobody. Where would you go? What would you do? What roads would you travel? The most common way of travel is on the paved road. Perhaps you start on this road. It leads off straight into the horizon. You can see the large trucks roaring off into that blue mist. Maybe you hear the tingling wail of a police siren as it catches up with a speeding driver. There is the steady hum and swish as cars catch up to you and pass you, leaving you all alone. On this road your most familiar companion is the driver of a lovely black car. Why you ask? Perhaps he has run out of gas, maybe a tire blew out but he is walking to the nearest gas station. He puffs and bellows, groans and stumbles as he walks beside you. Talks in- cessantly about how the World is going to the dogs. Then as he leaves you at the gas station you feel relieved, even though you are lonely. Your eyes become used to the sights around you. The wonderful bridges, tremendous cities, neat farms, endless pavement, unfold slowly. Everywhere is civilization. Cars, trucks, and motorcycles and maybe overhead the faint whir of an airplane causes eight you to look up. All these vehicles roaring, whirling, clacking down the road passed you. There is a detour, you'l1 go in there to get out of this speeding world. The branches of the trees cling to each other over the road and black shadows set up a barrier of criss-cross work before you. Suddenly you hear the plod of footsteps and tinkle of a bell. Around the corner swings Bessie, the cow, off to the pastures, followed by a young country boy. You fall into conversation with the youngster and somehow out of your vast knowledge you are able to answer all his questions. The red brick schoolhouse saves you, but then, somewhow you don't feel so lonely. As you walk along whistling you notice the change of scenery. Your eyes crinkle with pleasure when you see the old English cottage with its green shutters. Old Mrs. Hubbard herself is out hanging up her washing. You catch the sound of singing between the noise of the frogs in the pond and of the hens in the yard. The color scheme has changed too- deep green to the bright green of corn pushing its way between black furrows-wild flowers along the roadside to the cultivated roses in the gloomy little cemetery. The little towns reveal the transportation of this world. Here and there are old wagons, while standing in front of them are ancient nags. There are tons of bicycles in the rack by the grocery store. Funny that you should laugh cynically about the remark, The country is outmoded. The road changes to hard packed earth so that you are no longer able to kick stones that were on the gravel road. The scene has become perhaps a little more uncultivated. The people are, too, far down over the crest of the hill comes Dobbin dragging behind him, shall we say a cart On top of the crazy old rig sits Grand- paw, chewing his tobacco. In his knobby old hands there is an old Indian knife and a piece of wood, no need to hold the reins because Dobbin knows the way. By the vaguest of chances he sees you and by taking your life in your hands you get up beside him, to roll on down into the vale. After your conversation has long since ceased. you worked the information Grandpaw had given you over in your mind. Now the lone- liness all gone there is only empty space. You've got to fill that space up, son, Grand- paw had said that. You look with greater interest around you. The woods look lovely. The seldom seen meadows appear now and again in patches of yellow and white. You even stop and pick a daisy for your button-hole. As you lift your head, you realize that the only means of trans- portation you've seen was Grandpaw's cart. The alluring woods have too strong a hold on you and so you disappear down a woodland path. You won't find any companion there. Not down the woodland paths. You'll find some- thing bigger. No, I can't tell the beauty or sights a forest holds for you, nor the sounds of rippling water, whispering trees, of happy birds. All I know is when you return you will never be lonely, nor feel empty inside again. As for transportation, you don't need anything. The other day someone called at me, You look like a tramp. My head lifted, my shoul- ders straightened, my chest expanded, I felt grand, for you see I knew what roads to roam. JULIA A. HARRIS, Douglas Hall, Grade X. ir A SHORT HOLIDAY AT THE RANCH TED Morley could hardly wait for the next morning to come. All arrangements for him to visit his Uncle's ranch in the Lazy Creek County had been made and he was to leave by plane the next morning. This was his first trip away from home and all that he knew of ranch life was what he had seen on the screen at the neighborhood picture show. His imagination led him to believe he would see stage coaches, Indians, cowboys and wild horses, and with these things running through his mind it took him a long time to fall asleep although he went to bed earlier than usual, After a restless night of dreaming, mostly of the wild Indians he fully expected to see, he boarded a plane for his trip to the west just as the sun was coming up, and, after a fast journey of several hours, arrived at Oklahoma Airport. where he was met by his Aunt and Uncle and taken in a bright shiny car to the ranch house many miles away. This was his first disappointment, for he had expected to ride out to the ranch in the stage coach, but his biggest disappointment was when he found that there were no wild Indians about. Arriving at the ranch he soon forgot all about his disappointments when he saw the cowboys riding up to the ranch for their dinner. In their chaps, red shirts and big hats they were to him a wonderful sight and he was anxious to learn to ride like them, After dinner his Uncle took him over to the corral to look over the horses and to pick a colt for himself which, his Uncle told him would be his very own and ready to ride on his next visit, if he succeeded in learning to ride before his first visit was over. Ted was introduced to the ranch foreman who took him in hand, and it was not long before he asked the foreman to teach him to ride. A quiet pony was saddled for him and Ted spent the next three hours first walking and then trotting around the yard. By supper time he was doing pretty well for a beginner. After supper the foreman showed him how to clean the pony, feed him and later, how to bed him down, after which he was glad to crawl into bed as he was a very tired boy. Page Forty-nine The following morning he was up bright and early and off to the stable to look after his pony before breakfast as he thought that to be a real cowboy, his horse must come first. After breakfast he was back in the saddle trotting his pony around the yard, and at noon his uncle told him that he could ride with him after din- ner to visit some neighbors. He was a surprised boy when he got into the saddle for his trip. Tied to it was a rope just like the other cowboys and this was a sure sign that his uncle was pleased with him. The rest of his holiday at the ranch he spent riding the range with his Uncle, visiting the large herds of cattle and watching the cowboys at work. But all too soon his wonderful holiday came to an end and it was time for him to return home. What stories he had to tell his chums of his adventures! DI.ANE JOHNSON. York Hall, Grade VIII. ir THE STORM I watched the storm approach from out the south. The sky grew dark and clouds came swiftly on. And even the trees were bent as if in pain, Before the wind which came in roaring gusts. And as I watched the lightning pierce the sky I heard the roar of thunder, then the rain. CAROLYN ELLIOT, York Hall, Grade X. ir RAIN Pit-a-pat, what is that? Eight fat raindrops on my hat! I'm on my way to watch the rain Falling on the window pane. ONALEE RUDD, York Hall, Grade III. 'A' NAUGHTY FROGS Down at the ocean In behind some rocks, Live two little bull frogs, Billy and Jock. They are very naughty And not a bit nice, Even though they do feed On sugar and spice. They don't obey the sea rules And whenever they are bad, They kick and fuss like stubborn mules Which drives their parents mad. DULCIE ANN THOMSON, York Hall, Grade VI.

CAROLYN DOWLER, Nelson Hall, Grade X. -A' WHAT THE TOWN CLOCK SAW HIGH above the market place of the quaint 4 little town, which nestled peacefully among the giant pines of Pine Valley, a gallant old fellow predominated, the Town Clock. He was almost as old and as wise as the mountains that outranged him and there were deep lines of wisdom and age etched around his hands and face. Even his workings were beginning to show signs of wear. The chimes no longer pealed with joyous clarity at the stroke of the hour, while even the steady beat of his heart was gradually growing slower with the passing of the days. The townspeople, busy with their everyday chores, hadn't brushed or shined him since he was a young shaver, ticking with youth and vitality. But despite their disregard for his appearance, the Town Clock was as much a part Page Fifty of the people as the air they breathed and with all his squeaking springs and cracking paint, the clock ticked for them. Climbing over the mountains of the valley, the sun chased away the dark and shed the glorious light over the drowsy little town, the night had passed. The Town Clock began to peal the hour with a new zeal, letting the chimes echo over the valley in melodious tunes and then. with a heavy note of discord, the ringing ceased abruptly. The old clock had tried too hard and now he would no longer be able to wake the drowsy inhabitants to send them cheerfully on their way to work, Their work was beginning but his had just ended. He breathed a heavy sigh which shook his battered parts and caused sharp pains to course through him. If only he could do one last thing for the little town which he had served so faithfully and loved so well. His eyes wandered lovingly out over the beryl- colored countryside, over the sloping roofs of the houses and rested on the gold statuette which stood safely beneath his watch. But what was this he saw? Straining his ears to hear the words that were spoken and rumbling within himself with anger that he could no longer control as well as he could when a youth, the old clock listened, becoming angrier ever minute, to the Words of two swarthy men. This statue must be worth a million! Joe think of the haul we could make if we removed it some day. These local peasants wouldn't know the difference. You know how dumb these guys are, he let out a burst of inane laughter and added, they'd probably think a goblin took it and forget all about it. Then the two men broke into spasms of Lmcouth mirth and then suddenly one becoming serious, whis- pered confidently into his fellow criminalls ear. Now listen we'll leave it for a week until our last haul cools down, then on Sunday when everyone is in church welll . . . The last was merely a jumble of words like a gust of wind through an open door, but the Town Clock had heard their plan. How could he prevent it? A clock could not tell the sheriff nor prevent such a catastrophe itself. A shudder shook the old fellow and if a clock could cry over helplessness then this one would have. The week slowly passed. People went their ways without their accustomed cheerfulness. Many lifted sorrowful eyes to the face of the old clock and many tried to fix its broken parts without success. Over the mountains of the valley the sun rose laboriously as if it also missed the cheery peals which lent wings to the dawn, At last the dreaded day had come. The Town Clock felt lifeless and broken, the heaviness of his heart would have broken a set of scales. A calamity was about to fall on the heads of the townspeople and the only one who knew of its enormity was powerless to prevent it. The church bells rang out, calling the chil- dren and parents to worship, while hiding, the unscrupulous figures, huddled in the seclusion of an alley, waited for their chance to steal the priceless statuette. The doors of the church closed on the last person and soon the strains of a well known hymn drifted to the ears of the old clock. His frame was rigid with expectationg every uncoiled spring seemed to coil into place. The wise eyes followed the every movement of the unsuspecting villains. Inside his very core, the old clock hoped and prayed, with fervent depth, to God that the people thought enough of him to come when he did what he was about to do. If only he could! With one last prayer the clock let loose the tenseness it had maintained and over the coun- tryside rang an urgent peal of the chimes. The startled thieves looked up and at that moment the church doors flew open releasing a crowd of joyful people into the square. The clock had pealed once more a warning to the people whom it loved. The sun sank behind the mountains of the valley, and twilight glimmered down upon the peaceful town. A little boy raised wondrous eyes to the old clock and before his mother took his hand to lead him away he asked her with childish inquisitiveness: Mommie are clocks alive? You'd think this one saw things and knew everything, even about, Mommie, even about those bandits get- ting catched alive! The aged Town Clock smiled to himself at those heart-warming words. Of course he knew! JUNE BAKER, Nelson Hall, Grade X. ir FOR SHAME The creature bounded, scuffling near my feet. I thought the fright would nearly drive me mad. Quick as I could I scaled the periless peak Gasping for frightened breath I fain had lost. With fear this monster should pursue me on I grasped the weapon nearest to my hand. And from its place below, with eyes ablaze It gazed at me upon my perch, with scorn. Without a move upon its part, or mine, I dared not stir, nor breathe a word, indeed I feared the slightest sound would snatch from me The safety of the height I had achieved. Long minutes of that dreadful silence past Till I could clearly hear my beating heart. And then the thing that I feared most, occurred, The creature moved. Then scurried from my sight. Page Fifty-one A cry of fear was wrested from my throat, And then an inward calm of danger past Assured me I had nothing more to fear. With that my outer confidence returned. My shoe in hand, I clambered from the chair Then with a sense of shame and cowardice I hoped no one would know within the house That what I feared had only been a mouse. JUNE BAKER, Nelson Hall, Grade X. 'k BLACKIE My kitten's name is Blackie, He's a fluffy ball of fur. I know when he is happy Because he cuddles close, to purr. Blackie can be sweet. He likes to jump and run And scamper round my feet When he wants to have some fun. My kitten can be bad When he chews up all the shoes! I scold ,cause I'm mad, But he just runs away and mews.

Now o'er the hill a pale light steals, Its quivering silver beam On shining lake and shadowy shore Pours iridescent sheen.

'A' A LETTER FROM ENGLAND Dear Friends: Please, for a while-let your thoughts go back to the time when you were busy packing a par- cel to England. I imagine your thoughts were something like this: Hope it arrives at its destination safely. Hope it is a pleasant surprise to some family that really need it. Hope it sur- prises who ever receives it. Hope there are some small children to enjoy the chocolate and Page Fifty sweet puddings, etc. Hope these are the kind of things they need, and then perhaps after a lot more hopes the general hope of all Hope the recipients will write and let us know how they received? When? In what condition? Were they pleased? etc., etc., etc. Well, Dear Friends, here is a fortunate family that have just received a wonderful surprise. It's a very cold day Cperhaps you would not think sol. It is wet, windy and miserable weather. The time is 12: 15 noon. The children Cfour of themj have just come in from school for their Mid-day Meal, the remaining child, too young for school, is fretful and uneasy as its meal time and the food is on the way. The school children are impatient for their meal as they want to get back to the school ground to play before school restarts. Mother is busy Ndishing up the food. Father, a bit of an in- valid, is sitting in his chair knitting. Yes, that's right-knitting factually he is knitting comforts for the local W.V.S. to distribute as a small tribute to the great kindness of that body to him and his familyl. Whilst Mother is busy serving up the meal there is a prolonged loud ring on the front door bell. Oh, dash it, says Mother - Whoever can this be at this time of the day? and reluctantly she puts down the stew pan and trots off to the front door mumbling and mur- muring. There is silence in the living room and then Mother returns, her face beaming and her are quite filled with a large parcel. Then the silence is broken by a chorus of questions- What is it, Mum? Who was it, Mum? Is that for us, Mum? etc., etc. The meal is forgotten, five pair of feet patter round to Daddy's chair who has been given the parcel to undo. The meal is temporarily forgotten, as eager little eyes stare and shrill voices gasp as Daddy lifts the lid of the box. Then its Gee, Daddy, look chocolate. Look, Daddy, jellies. What's that Daddy? Are they jellies, Daddy? and did the post man give you this, Mummy? and so on and so on-until both father and mother have to kindly but firmly insist the children get on with their meal and get back to school, and so for the time being father puts the parcel away. The Mid-day Meal is finished. The children have gone back to school Ceach with a piece of chocolatej. Baby has gone to sleep and peace and quiet reigns for a while. Then Mum and Dad soberly go over the contents of the parcel, amazed as each succeeding article is revealed, punctuated with remarks such as Haven't seen this for years. How lovely. Just the thing, etc., etc. We have very little in the way of luxury but we are all very happy, the children love and honor their parents and we, the parents, are very proud of them. We get a weekly allow- ance from the Poor Law, it is not much but it does supply the immediate necessities of life and as we have not developed any expensive habits, we scrape through from week to week. Our real trouble is the replacement of worn out clothing and household goods and bed and -two household linen. Our local W.V.S. are the essence of kindness to us and never miss an opportunity of assisting us when it comes their way. We are very happy together despite our poverty and our love and devotion for each other, and our little ones make it all so worth while. Now I have tried to tell you honestly the re- actions of us all on receiving your splendid par- cel. Perhaps I've been rather long winded about it but I hope you'll forgive that and believe that it is because I thought it was the most honest and truthful way of telling all you dear friends how very, very grateful we are and to assure you that the good work you are doing is not being misplaced, for I'm sure the W.V.S. over here are as your own, the essence of kindness. I don't think there is much more I can say ex- cept, Bless you every one of you and thank you from the very depths of our being. From: Mr, and Mrs. E. H. Payne, 12 Victoria Road, Eastleigh, Hants, England. 'Ir Paris le 5 Octobre 1946. Chere Mademoiselle: Je fais reponse a votre lettre que je viens de recevoir a l'instant.

C'est une belle cite. D'abord, nous suivons a pied l'Avenue Portage. Cette rue est loin d'etre etroite! Au milieu de la rue, des tramways marchent. Ils font beau- coup de bruit et ils sont oranges! Aussi. nous pouvons voir des autobus oranges, et il y a beaucoup d'autos, de toutes couleurs. La cir- culation marche vite, conductee par des agents aux uniformes bleus. A gauche, il y a deux grands batiments et plusieurs autres, plus petits. Les grands bati- ments sont les magasins d'Eaton et de Hudson's Bay. De temps et temps, nous nous arretons pour regarder les vitrines des magasins. De l'autre cote de la rue nous voyons deux theatres, le Capital et le Gaiety. Nous prenons un Vieux taxi et nous allons visiter le parc Assiniboine. Que c'est beau! Maintenant, au printemps, l'herbe et les arbres deviennent verts et la neige disparait. Apres avoir visite un autre beau parc, Kil- donan, nous avons grand faim, et parce qui'l est tard, nous retournons fi notre hotel pour manger un tres bon dejeuner.
