SANDRA MCNIAMARA I. .. EDITORIAL ANOTHER school year is rapidly drawing to a c'los-e and Vox Fluminis for 1950 has, in th-e 'terfms of t'he newspaper w-orldi, been put to bed. Your Ediltorial Staff is happy over the acoomp-lishment and we wish to express our s-in-cere thanks to all 'those who, through their kind co-opera- tion, have made this publicationt possfi'ble. Our special thlanks go to the business firmrs of Winnfipeg and to our anonfymous fnie-n-ds for their ciontinuedl support whlich, as in the past, was generous. 'Ph-is has been an eventful year and unforeseien con-d'ivtion'st have brloughit alboult many chanigres. Wlhalt suited our ne-eds of yesterday often fails to satfislfy t'he needs of the to-morrow and, in 'order to keep abreast of th-e times, changes have had to be made. We of Rliverben-d are face to face with just such a circumstance. Changing C'O1'15dTIltIO'1'1S have brought about the necessity of amalgarrnation with our sister school Rupert:s- land, and at the end -of t'his sch-ool year these two s-choo-l's will unit to become -the largest Protestant Girls' S-cho-ol west of the Great Lakes. We have every reason tfo bel'ieve that the c'on.sol'i.datlion of these two great schools will be of mutual benefit to us all, and we invite you to bring to the needs and aspirations of our new school an understand- ing - a fresh diiseovery - of the oon'tributi'on it w'il1'l make to yfou, your chilld-ren, your community and your cou-ntry. Being editor of the 1950 edfitilon of Vox Fluminis has been a wonder- ful experience and I would like to say Thank you -to the staff advisers for their guidance and advice, and t'o my c'o'llea-guest for their loyal support. To those who succe-ed us in t'he publishfing ot the new school maga- zine, we extend our best wishes and leave with you the task of sending out into the world the spirit of every-thing for which our new school stands. Page Three ranctyoa, 25 Ogffer My Dear Girls: Tlhvis is the last levtkter I shall wrifte to you Rfiverbenders. In the Fall the new school will be an accomplished fact. The amalgamation of Rupert's Land and Riverbend will bring to life what I am sure will be a strong school which will embody the loyalties and traditions- of both fsc'h'o'ofl's. In order that the change oiver may be made without 'fr'ic'tli'oin, everyone musnt pull togeltheir, fto build the best plossfible slcho-ol. I want fto 'thank ,my staff, past an-d presenft, and my girls, past and present, ' 'for their loyalty anad co---o'pera'ti'on to me in Uhe sixteen years I have been in Rsivenbe-nd. Tlhey have been 'happy yeansg and I am sure ther are many 'happy year.s ahead for ftlhe new sfchool. Wit-h best wishes for your happiness and conftin-ue-d success and love frolm i Yours affec'tiona'te'ly, fg Page Four GUR SPORTS CAPTAIN CDLEMENTINE McNern, our capable Sports Captain for the yea-r 1949-510 began her Riverbend career in the sprinig of 194-1.

It has contributed largely to the beauty' orf our slurroiundingfsi and has :been the backiground- oif our work and play. Tfhirofuglhout the ye-airs it has 'been evident to all Rivenbfendeirs that th-e aim of -their school h-as fbeen, nvoft only the alcquisi-tion of knowledge but also the fbuildiing osf c-h-arvacter.

Page Ten CLASS NGTES GRADE VII HERE we Grade VI'I's are struggling 'with ouir class notes for the year b-o-ok. I't's the very day the notes are supposed to be heanded in. We've fiv-e minutes more fto go - and we don't know what to slay. Perhiaps we'd belt- ter tell you Uh-at the class president is Georgia Brown. She is always trying to get ouit of detention, complaining abou-t a tickle in her ithroat, rushing for ia drink of walter, and drafwing car- toons. Sih-e thas an assistant - Carol MafcAuliay, who is allways having a musiic lesson in Miss Dickson's study period and who can be seen most morn- ings -fly into school at 9.0'1 b-ecause her father didn't get dwown in time for breakffast. Perhaps: we srhould send Mr. Ma1cAulay to detentio-n instead of Carol! We also have 'a selcretary-treasurer, Audrey Situxblbs, who never quite gets a straight ptafrt in her hair, who cried and sneezed lb-eautiffully att Tompkins in our play, Doth-eboy's Hall, and who 'b-lushes 'beet red when spoken to. The twins, Nancy B. and Gail B. aren't really relate-di except in their marvellous ski-ll in Slpie-llsinegf' It seems -they allways. get nothing out of ten. Oh, yes, they enjoyed the Musical Fes- tival because they could lo-ok at alal the cute boys in the choir. Gail can be found going 'I'.C.A. CI wonder what that means?J. If anyone wants to find Nancy, just we-ifther look in the gym or in Hygiene cl-ass. We have a girl who comes and goes -Georgiena Steele.

'ir RED HOUSE NOTES A-LT'HOUGH the Red House girls are few in number this year, we have m.anaged to keep up tihe Red House spirit. In years to co-me we will all look -back and re-memtb-er with pleasure our noom-mates, and all the good times we had together. Will' we ever fo-rgset those parties in the lbilue room -- CthfOC'O13'tG puf-fs and beds full ,of crumbs.. A121 our parties were sufccessful but we always had too much food. We alplpirecia-te Mrs. Reid's interest in the Red House -gifrls this ye-ar and wie were 'fortunalte to have her as our Page Thirteen house motfher the two weeks prior to Ch-ristmas holidays.. After Christmas Miss 'Parker took over 1her job of keep- inrg us on the straiigfht and narrow path, and pulllinmg HR-obeirta out of bed in time for breakfast. 'I'he big event of the year which turned -the Red House into the usual turmoil was the formal. The conver- sational topics weire-dresses, accesso- ries, flowers, and' last but not leas-t dates. Carla Ann an-d Audrey kept their dates in suspense until the last moment. The gowns were as varied as the men. The most popular man of the day, excluding Alex, is the postmfan, who is met daily at the gate. Margaret seems to carry on the strangest corres- pondence. One of ther let-ters com- menced with, quote, Hello you old alley cat, unquote. Ouvr 'business girl, Betty Ann, is one jump ahead of the rest of usg tfhat's not va pierce of glass sparkling on her left hand. We all wish their the best ot luck. We'll be envying ber in a nice sunny offaice while we struggle with June exams. This year the country is well repre- sented. Helen 'hail-s from Terrace Bay, Ontario. We wonder how Helen will get home in June fwith her large col- lection of shoes. A newcomer to our clan this year, Helen soon became one of us. The other two 'beds in Helen's room are occupied by June an-d Rob- erta. June is our quiet blond from Griswold, Manitob-a. Ain ardent Bran- don 'fan is June, who is envied for he-r neatness. Roberta, from Dauphin, is fwlfl of fun and allways has a ready laugh. lIt's a good job Bert's gramo- phone is beside her bed, for she goes to sleep and wakes up to th.e strains of Fats Waller's Two Sle-epy People. Carla Ann and Audrey occupy the room across tthe hall. We'll always re- mefmber their prized possessions - khaki jackets with namesakes on the back. We must'n't forget Carla's mouse and Audr-ey's yrearnings for waist- length ,hair Cwe like it just the wavy it is, Aud4reyD. Theifr theme song could rightly be, Yorkton, Here we Co-me. The roo-m with the many doo-rs be- longs t-o Betty Ann, Clatire and Ruth. C-liaire and Ruth -are the twins from Melville and to utter a vword against their fhome town would prove- to be fatal. Although. thfis is a bedroorn it could be called -a barber shop for here many Red House lock-sr have fallen. We wonder' wfhere Ruth learned the art of hair cutting. Cllaire's' inte-rests lie in the field of clothe-sl and she can usually be .seen se-winrg on a garment. We were all relieved when the last stitch was put into their formal just in time for the dance, Margaret lives alone on the top floor. Marg come-s from Pine Falls and h.er most cherished possession is her Chopin record album. Many of us will be gone next year, but to those wth-o remain an-d' to those who take our place, we leave the good times always associated with the Red House. RUT'H ANDERSON.

Although we have not -won a sports cup, fthe girls have done their bes.t and have shown goo-d. sip-ontsmanship at all times. I fwoulld like to thank Roberta Sicrase, our spor-ts captain., for s-o freely giving her time and energy to our house sports. We have done ve-ry well in house points and we are working hard for the shield. Mary Hope Mclnnis has been an effficient secretary. Our yearly box of -gifts to Point D-ouglas Missions was greatly appre- ciated. Thank you, girls, your co- operation and generous gifts make the project a success. We are fortunate to have Miss Hall- dorson and Mrs. Little in our house, and we appreciate their interest and help. We are fortunate also in having a lively house supirit. I have enjoyed the privilege of being prefect of Douglas Hall, and this y-ear will always be a memorable one for me. CLAIRE ANDERSON. if GARIRY HALL AS the 19419-510 school yea-r nears its colmpletion., I am 'happy to be able to look back upon an eventful year. We are very fortunate this year in havinig Cecily Ann Gunn, our head girl, among our members, and also Mrs. Price, Mrs. 'Mc'E'wen and Miss Arnold as our staff representatives, who have given their assistance and help so freely and willingly. In the field of sp-or-ts, Garry has made a fine showing. First of all, aided by our capable sports captain, Susan Ches- ter, an-d with t?he wvhole-hearted co- op-era-tion of the girls, we won the Intter--House Field Day Cup. Alt'houg:h we did not win the volleybalal cup the girls displayed fine siportsmanship. Our 'baske-t'bal'l team is still in the play-offs for the highly prized basketball cup. Garry also came second in the bowling this year. All the girls in Garry worked hard to obtain house -points- and I would like to thank them for their untiring efforts. Dian-a Morton also deserves special credi-t for her -efficiency as secretary for Garry. Our Ch-ristmas hamper was an eX- ample -of the Wonderful generosity of all the girls. The hamper, containing foo-d, presents and' clo-th-ing, was deliv- ered to a needy family just before 'Chris-tmas, and was certainly appre-- ciated. ' I 'would also flike to take this o-ppor- tunity to thank the girls for their tire- less efforts in sel'lin-g tickets for the school plays, which were presented' in March. My year as ,prefect o-f Garry Hall has been a happy one because of the- won- derful house spirit and co-o-peration of the staff mem.bers and all the girls. RUTH ANDERSON. ir NELSON HALL NEILSON Hall is coming to the close of another eventful year. I have enjoye-d my duties as prefect and I would like to take this opportunity to thank our staff memfbers., Mrs. Low, ,Miss Hepworth and Mrs. Wefllwo-od, and the girls, for their lo-yalty and co- operation. Special praise goes to Janet Bleeks, our efficient secretary, whose- neat lists helped to -bring us to second' pl-ace in house points at Christmas and third place at Easter. To Sandra McNamara, our vivacious sports captain, I extend my thanks for working so har-d to or- ganize and improve our teams. Nltlmouglh we were not victorious, Nelson .sho-wed good sp-or-tsm-ans'hip in the field day last fall. Inter-house volleyiball, basketba-ll and bowling took up much of our time, and fine h-ouse spirit was again displayed. Before CIhiris.tirnas, a gene-rous hami- per 'was assemfbled' and delivered to a needy family. Due 'to -the unti-ring efforts of the giril-s, Nelson sold the largest numfber Page Sixteen of tickets for the plays whi-ch were held in March. As prefect of Nelson Hall, may I once again extend my thanks and apprecia- tion to you, girles. This has been a most eventful and memorab-le year for me, BARBARA DRYBROUGH. 'A' YORK HALL THIS 1949-1950 year has been a very happy and su-ccefss-ful one for York Hall. We were indeed very fortunate to have hfad in our midst t-he sports captain of the school, Clem McNern, who was very generous in her support of York Hall's sports captain, Helen Grant. Although our efforts W-ere just not gosod enough to cap-ture first place in the annual Field Day events the rep- resen-tativefs of York tried hard and en.ded the day close upon the heels of the winners. The inter-house volfleylball cup and 'the inter-house zbowling cufp we-re bot.h won 'by York Hall, so we have ev-ery reason to be proud of our success in the sports field. At Christmas, .the girls donated gen- erouisly to making up a large hamper of food, c'lothin-g and toys for a needy family. Our .house secretary, Annie Lou Ormiston, who sfupervised this impor- tant Work, is to be congratulated on a job- Well done, With regards to house points, I wish to thank all the girls for working so hard. The junior grades, Annie Lou Ormistaon, Duflfcie Ann Thomson and Dian-e Johnson have done very Well in this respect, As prefect of York Hall, I would like to thank Miss: Dickson and Miss Shepley for their guidance and advice and a-l'l the girls for their Whole-hearted sup- port. It has been a happy and eventful year for me. MARILYN MAY. HUMOR A grocer was on the point of going bankrupt when a man to whom he owed a lot of money came into the store.

Page Seventeen ACTIVITIES - LILAC TEA-1949 LILAIC time at Riverbend is really a beautiful sig?ht but trying to or- ganize the Lil-ac Tea to coin-cide with the ib'loom'in.g of the lilac trees, and a Warm spring day, is a yearly problem the tea planners cann-ot always over- come. The Weather and the liil-afcs both acted up in 1949 burt -the tea planners can take cons'ol.atifon out of the fact that their event was a great success. Tea was served in the dining room and the four 'houses combined to give -the one large table a really homey effect, which added -greatly to the en- joyment of the occasion. Many .thanks to our friends fo-r turn- ing out so faith-fully to these annual 'lilac teas. Your -gen-erfous sup-port is g-reatly apprecia-ted, and enfables River- bend School to continue its support of the United Chur'c'h Fresh Air Camp.

Tfh-is play is o-n the Grade 10- course this year, and is. a comedy 'taking place in a lonely hunt- ing cabin ini the baickw-oolds. A short in-tro-duicti-on to the play was given by Mary Honpe- Mclnnis, and after this the enthusiastic audience was transferred to this lonely calbin in the woods. The four main oharafcters all did their parts- excellently. Diana Mor- ton was fa very romanftic Dorothea Browne and Donna Patterson was her business-'like husband, J. Altrus Browne, The bafck'wood'smen were per- fectly p-orltrayed-dS-yrd White by Annie Page Nineteen L. Ormiston and Charlie Henderson by Pat Riley. The entire program went oi smooth- ly except for one distraction which oc- curred' 'when Syd Whi-te's. chair col- lapsed beneath him. Annie Lou car- ried on so well, however, that no one really noticed that it was not all part of th.e fun. The play was excellently directed by Ann Fox and Marie Baribeault, and Helen Grant looked 'after t-he make-up. MARY HOPE McINNIS 'lr THE LIBRARY Riverbend School has a rwell-stocked liibrary of Hction and reference books. One room has its walls lined with shelves of referergce b-ooks. another is stocked with fiction. Additions are made to the litbrary each year, one lbook at least being donated to it by each girl off the griaduatinig class. Great treasures of knowledge and wisdom from ancient and modern times are locked up in the-se volumes, but alas! though -the key to them' is avail- alble 'to all Riverbend girls., all too few take advantage of the privilege olf its use. The books are there for your benefit, girls. Use them! S. HALLDO-RSON 'k TH E HALLOWE'EN PARTY On Friday evening, October 28th, 1949, all the girlsff rom grades seven to eleven gathered in the .gym for a very enjoyakble Hallowe'en party. This eventful eveninig began at approxi- mately seven-thirty and soon every- one, inclusding the staff, was joining in the ifun. The main event of the eve- ning was the presentation of six skits, five of which were put on by the differ- ent classes. The sixth skit, however, completely stole th-e show, as the teac.h- ers gave us a picture of what a River- sbend ,girl does after school hours. After this was over a sinvg--song was held and refreshments were served. Soon afften ten o'cl-o-ck the girls slowly departed, :and they all agreed that it had been a very pleasant and memor- able evening. MARY HOPE MCINNIS. 'A' BACH IN 1950 Johann Sebas-tian Bach was born at Eisena-ch, Germany, in 1-6-85. He died in 175101 - two fhlu'nd're'd years ag-0-. In recoggnition of this fact, musicians the world o-ver -are this year giving s-pecial attention to t'he music of the man who is so frequently cal-led The Father of Mu-sic. Bac-h!'s wo-rks represen-t the culmina- 'tion of polyp-honic clomposition. They were .prfa-c'tica3lly unknown to the pub- lic for half a century after his death. But ever since,'Mendelssohn disc-overe-d them and rfpesented the Passion Music Acfcordinfg to St. Matthew, in 1829, they have steadily 'gvained popularity, un-til nolw, in 19510, Bach's music is gen- erally conce-ded to be am-on-gst t'he greatest the world has known.

Bach is greatly admired not only for the qu-ality of his comipositions, but for the quantity. He is said to have writ- ten -over one th-ousansd pieces, in every department except Op-era. This was achieved it must be rememfbered, in spite of a very busy life in which he was at various times chorister boy, violinist, organist, -teacher, orchestra director and capell-meis-ter, More and more, students are realiz- ing -that playing 'Bach not only stimu- lates the ear and the appreci'ation of fine music, but is of tremendous im- ,portance in developing their technique.

He himself was the foremost organist of his day, and wrote many diiioicult works Cfor violin and clavichord as well as for organb which even today tax the most capable performers, Bach is olf special infterest to pianists, because he was the inventor of the modern system of equal temperament for tuning Keyboard instruments. The Well Tempered Clavichordv was writ- 'ten to demonstra-te the superiority off this system. Also, it was Bach who first inltroduced the use of the thumb in playing the clavichord. When one considers the splendor of his polysphiony, and the intricacy' of his technique, it is not surprising that mu- sicians are welcoming this opportunity of paying tribute to a man who left one of the m-ost precious legacies the world has ever received. EJILEEN ARNOLD. Page Twenty-three SPORTS s To win the game is great, To play the game is greater, To love the game is greatest? Not every-one may Wing someone is sure to lose. The ambility to respect an honourable o-pponent and accept defeat generously is one of the greatest les- sons of life. Sportsmanship means not only to ac- cept defeat generously or to acknowl- edge victory graciously. A good sport is the person who is at all times re- liable, dependaible, honest, cheerful a-nd, above all, co-operative. If We maintain throughout life the same ideals of sporftsmanszhip, fair play, courage and endurance which are most impor-tanit in games, we will be suc- cessful in the game of life. M. MCCRIMMON.

JUNIOR BASKETBALL TEAM LITER RY THE MISCHIEVOUS MONKEY Once there was a monkey who lived in the top of a big tree and cracked nuts all day long. He bothered the little squirrel who lived in the trunk of the tree by drop- ping the nut shells in front of its door. This made the little squirrel very angry and he called up to the monkey, he said, Do not drop those nut shells in front of my door. The monkey just laughed and said, Why don't you sweep them up. Now this made the squirrel very angry and he chattered up at the monkey. One day the squirrel went to tell his friends about his troubles and while he was away the monkey came down the tree, put his hand into the squirrels home, brought out all the nuts he found there, and ran back up to the top of the tree to eat them. When the squirrel came home it did not take him long to find that all of his nuts were gone and it did not take him long to guess who had taken them. This time he called up to the monkey, he said, How dare you steal my nuts. The monkey just chuckled to himself and said, Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me. This gave the squirrel an idea. Next day he gathered all the shells the monkey had dropped. Then the mon- key dropped some more saying, Here are some more Mr. Squirrel. This would have bothered the poor little squirrel very much but he was too busy then to even hear him. Next he went to the pine trees and got some resin, then he wrapped it up in a leaf and took it home. He went to the brook and got a lot of little stones and took them home. It took him three days to get ready. He put the cracked shells together with a stone in between them, and stuck them together with the resin. On the third day, everything was ready, and the squirrel went away, but came back quietly to the next tree to watch. ' The monkey came down the tree, put his hand into the squirrels house, and brought out all the nuts. Then he went up to the top of the tree and began to crack them. Crack went two of his front teeth, then he tried another, and another, and crack went four more of his teeth. He was dancing with pain. The nuts in this tree are too stale he said so he went away and left the tree to the squirrel. JOHN BRACKEN, Gr. II, Garry House. 'A' THE GREEDY WOLF A fox and a wolf lived together. The wolf was hungry and he asked the fox if he knew where there was some meat. Yes I know said the fox. In the farmer's cellar, I'll get some for you. No said thewolf, I'll go too. Soon they came to the farmer's cellar and saw there a big tub full of meat. The hungry wolf began to eat without stopping, but the fox only ate a little before he jumped back out of the win- dow, then he came back, ate a little more, and did the same thing again. The wolf saw him doing this and said, why are you doing that and the fox said, To see if I can still get out through the window. How silly you are said the wolf who just kept on eating as fast as he could. Now the farmer had heard a noise in his cellar and came down the steps to see what was the matter. The fox Page Twenty-eight sprang out through the window, the wolf tried to follow but stuck fast. The farmer killed the wolf and that was the end of the greedy wolf. CAROL ANNE FIELDS, Gr. II, Garry House. 'A' FLAME AND FLASH An ocelot is an animal spotted like a leopard, but much smaller and they are usually called leopard cats. Flame and Flash were brother oce- lots, Flame got his name because he could leap as fast as flame, and Flash got his name because he was as fast as lightning. Lions are the enemies of the ocelots and one day Flame was walking along with his mother when they came upon a lion attacking Flash. Flame joined in the fight and after Flash gave up, con- tinued to fight until the lion ran away. One day Flame saw the same lion he had fought with and he crouched on the limb of a tree so that he could spring upon the lion as he passed beneath. Just as he sprung, a second lion came along so Flame had to fight two lions. Then Flash came along and saw them fighting. He remembered that Flame had saved him from a lion so he joined in the fight. The fight ended, and the two lions, nearly dead, crawled slowly away. Flash had saved Flame's life. J OANNE WILSON, Gr. IV, York House. 'lr MAY TULIP'S ADVENTURE May was a bulb when she was little but after she had been tucked into the ground she grew into a beautiful tulip. The next thing she knew she was pulled out of the ground, the beautiful flower was cut off, and she and a lot of her friends were packed into a box and sold. After a long boat trip, May and her friends arrived in Winnipeg. A little girl bought May and planted her in the ground in her garden: In the early spring, May was a beau- tiful flower again and soon all around her other beautiful flowers grew up. There was Rosa the rose, Penny the petunia, Daisy the daffodil and Garlot the gardenia. They became great friends. May told them all about her voyage from Holland, and they told her all about their lives. One day, a beautiful butterfly flew among them. She said she was a fairy and asked them to the Fairy Palace. The fairies were having a meeting when they arrived, and they were told by the fairy queen that a lot of fairies were dying, because little children were saying that they did not believe in fairies. Every time a child said this a little fairy died. How could they save the fairies? They did not know what to do. Sud- denly May had an idea. Why don't we tell the children? Soon all the flowers were telling the children about the fairies and because the children again believed in fairies, no fairies died. The Fairy Queen again sent for the flowers, and granted each a wish. They all wished to be able to visit the fairies. JOANNE WILSON, Gr. IV, York House. 'A' MY TRIP TO ENGLAND AND WALES During the summer of 1949 I visited England and Wales. I sailed from Que- bec on the Franconia, and nearly two weeks later arrived at Liverpool, where my cousin met me. He took me to his home in Cardiff, Wales, where I met my Great Aunt and Great Uncle. Cardiff is the capital city of Wales and is noted for its fine buildings and lovely parks. Here, I visited Cardiff Castle, once the home of the Marquis of Bute. It was a lovely carved floor and a high golden roof. In front of this old castle is the draw bridge but the moat around the castle has been drain- ed and is now covered with grass. Page Twenty-nine When I went home that day I sat in a seat on top of the bus and the con- ductor came for my ticket. The tickets were very odd, they are just like pieces of paper, and the conductor punched a hole in it and gave it back to me. I stayed in Cardiff two months, and then visited Dover, Folkstone, Bright- on, and London. While in London, I visited the Tower of London, and saw the Crown Jewels, and the place where they chopped off people's heads many years ago. There are two very old churches in the Tower of London. I also saw the changing of the Horse Guards. In October I went back to Cardiff to say good-bye to my Great Aunt and Great Uncle and my cousin before re- turning to Canada. When we were sailing up the St. Lawrence River I saw four whales. CAROL HAYMAN, Gr. IV, Douglas House. 'ir THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER Once upon a time there lived a little boy who had no father. When he went outside to play butterflies would make a crown around his head and follow him. , After he had grown up a terrible war broke out and he wanted to be a soldier. Finally his mother consented, and later, she went to the train with him to see him off. She asked him to write her often and he said he would, and just before the train left, the butter- flies again made a crown around his head. He told his mother that he would be back as soon as he could. His mother wrote to him often but not one letter did she receive from him. She worried about him, and then she remembered that he had said he would be back as soon as he could. One day, at a Remembrance Day Service, the minister said that there was a soldier found dead on the battle- field but none of the soldiers knew his name. As the minister spoke, the butterflies came in through the church window, and made a wreath in the air. The mother knew then that the Un- known Soldier was her son, and after that, whenever she was lonely, the butterflies came. SANDRA JEAN SERVICE, Gr. IV, Douglas House. 'k SOUTH AMERICAN CHRISTMAS I was so happy and excited when I heard I was going home for Christmas. I met Daddy at Montreal, and then Grandma, Daddy, and I went on to New York from where Daddy and I took the plane for Georgetown. The flight took many hours and we arrived at Georgetown a few hours late. As soon as we had passed through the customs, we went sixty-five miles up the river to our home at MacKenzie. The next day Virginia stayed home from school. We played under the house in the morning, and in the after- noon mother took us swimming in the swimming pool across the road from our house. On Christmas, we had a Christmas tree. It was a cherry tree sprayed with aluminum. There was a concert at which we all wore fairy costumes, fol- lowed by a big dinner. Virginia's birthday came in January, and we went for a boat ride on the river. When we came back, we had a party with balloons on bamboo sticks. Soon it was time to leave MacKenzie and return to Georgetown. Here, I visited the museum where I saw alli- gators, electric eels, strange fish, and odd animals. The gentleman, who owns this museum, lets some of the animals out to walk about. I also visited the Botanical Gardens and saw there an eagle, and some manities. Manities are big sea cows. There are many beautiful trees around Georgetown - bamboo trees, palm trees, cherry trees, grape fruit trees, and mangoe trees, to name a few. Mummy, Daddy, and I went to Trini- dad where I went swimming in the Page Thirty Caribbean sea and also climbed part way up a mountain. Soon it was time to return to Winni- peg and here I am back at school after an exciting trip. ELIZABETH ECHOLS, Gr. IV, Nelson House. 'k JIMMY GETS A DOG Jimmy wanted a dog very much and one day, when his father asked him what kind of a dog he would like. he jumped for joy, and yelled A Collief' He went to bed that night feeling very happy and when he awoke in the morning his Daddy was just coming home from work. In his arms he held a little collie and when Jimmy saw it, he jumped out of bed, took the little pup into his arms, and hugged it. Right away he called the dog Beauty be- cause he was so pretty. Do not love it too much said his Daddy? I found it on the road and brought it home because it was shaking with cold. Two days later there was a great big notice in the paper, it said, Collie missing. Jimmy looked at his Daddy and again looked at the paper, then he ran to his bedroom and cried be- cause he was afraid the owner would take Beauty away from him. That night Jimmy got a sack of food for himself and Beauty. Then he got his big wagon and put the food and Beauty in it and stole away to a cabin far away in the woods. When they reached the cabin he ate some food and then went to bed with Beauty. The next morning, after breakfast, Jimmy sat on the bank of a river near the cabin, and thought of his kind father whom he had left. After lunch he and Beauty went swimming. On the second day he became very lonesome, he had now been away two whole days and he missed his parents very much. Suddenly he heard some- one coming through the woods and he and Beauty hid behind a bush. When he saw his father his heart beat fast because he was afraid Beauty would start barking. Then it happened! Beauty did start barking and Jimmy's father found them. How happy he was to find Jimmy safe and sound, and how happy Jimmy was when he heard that Beauty had been bought for him. PAT LANSDOWN, Gr. V, Nelson House. 'A' BILLY'S FIRST CAPTURE Billy leaned forward in his saddle gazing off into the distance where he thought he saw a black dot that might possibly be a wild horse. He urged his pony towards it at the gallop and, as he drew near, he saw a beautiful black stallion, As he got closer, the wild stal- lion suddenly took fright and galloped away in a cloud of dust. That night at his father's ranch, Billy tried to think of a way to capture this beautiful horse. He had always wanted a horse of his own and this was such a beautiful one. The next morning, he started out very early to scout for his wild beauty and, rounding the edge of a bluff, he suddenly saw him. He swung his lariat and missed. This frightened the horse and he started off at a gallop. Billy gave chase and on his second try his lariat settled over the stallion's head. After a hard time, he managed to reach the ranch with his prize and shouted to a cowboy to help him to get the badly frightened horse into the corral. Early next morning they started to break in the stallion, and a month later Billy was allowed to ride him. At last Billy had a horse of his own and because he was so beautiful Billy called him Black Beauty. From then on Beauty and Billy were friends. GAYLE McLEAN, Gr. V, Garry House. Page Thirty-one MY VISIT TO CHOATE SCHOOL When we visited Choate School, Con- necticut, U.S.A. I ate my dinner with six hundred boys. I could not say a word and if somebody had asked me my name I do not think I could have said it. After dinner on Sunday they held a chapel service. The chimes were won- derful and the choir sang beautifully. The Headmaster took Mother, my brother and me out for a drive. We saw the whole campus, all of the build- ings, the farm, and a wonderful apple orchard. We picked some of the apples and put them in the car. I was sorry to leave Choat School and hope to see it again some day. GAIL BURROWS, Gr. V, York House. if HOW I CAUGHT THE GOPHER IN THE SCHOOL YARD When I went to school one morning, I eyed a large brown and white speck- led gopher. I walked close to him, and tried to grab him, but of course I missed. I tried this over and over again. I finally gave up but the gopher was so saucy, that he made me very cross. The following day, I brought a net and a box to school. I went to both of his holes and put a box over one and the net over the other. The gopher tried to come out the hole with the net over the top. Quickly, I turned the net upside down and caught him. How happy I was! The gopher was never saucy again, and the school had a big brown and white speckled gopher as a pet. ROBERTA ROBERTSON, Grade VI, Garry House. ir THE BEAR When we were at the lake, one of my chores was to go for the water, and in order to get to the pump, I had to walk through the woods. One morning I heard a rustle among the trees and bushes. I did not pay much attention to it at first, but when I heard it again I thought it might possibly be a snake, but the noise sug- gested something bigger than that. The rustling came closer and closer, then I saw something brown, I saw a face, it was a bear! and I was soon in full flight towards the pump. When I started back home with the water, he was nowhere in sight and I had just convinced myself that he had gone when he suddenly ran on to the path right ahead of me. I jumped about a foot before I realized that it was just a little baby cub. I tried to pat him but he moved away so I con- tinued on my way home. The little baby cub followed me all the way home, I fed him some bread crusts and honey, and he slept under the cottage all night. I kept him all the time I was down at the lake. JOAN PANTING, Gr. VI, Nelson House. 'A' BEN AND THE BROKEN BOWL There once lived a mother who had a son whose name was Ben. They were happy but very poor, and their home was high up in the mountains. One day his mother had to go up the mountainside to get some water and little Ben, left all alone, decided to bring his pet goat into the house, to teach him to jump for apples. They had a lot of fun until the goat knocked over a large blue bowl. Ben cried and cried because he knew his mother would be very cross. He took the goat outside and sat down to think what he could do. i Suddenly he noticed an old tramp sitting on the doorstep with a big bundle at his feet. Ben was very cur- ious as to what was in the bundle, so he asked the tramp to open it. In it he saw all sort of things, among them being a large, bright yellow bowl. Ben was very excited, he asked the tramp what he could give him for the bowl and the tramp looking around said If you will give me half of that dry bread over there you may have the bowl. Quickly Ben made the exchange, and Page Thirty-two when his mother came home and saw the new bowl she was astonished. Ben asked his mother Where did you get that beautiful bowl? Ben quickly told his story and his mother was so pleased that she baked him a big blue- berry pie as a reward. Ben and his mother lived happily ever after.

If you harbour any doubts about this just try fixing a small broken radio. You'll find that it can be taken apart without much difficulty even though you do not possess the proper tools. After having carefully dis- mantled the set and laid out each separate little part in rotation to make reassembly that much easier, you sud- denly realize you have forgotten to mark each wire as you detached it from its post. This fact alone should immediately prompt you to admit de- feat, gather up the pieces, and go to the nearest radio mechanic, but to ere is human and you proceed blithely on with your task. The actual fault escapes your notice, but you will have no trouble convincing yourself that it must have been wire trouble after all. The reassembly takes a long time -- little screws that came out so easily now seem to take great delight in being stubborn - you think it impossible that all the wires laying around came out of your little radio set. Eventually, however, your efforts are rewarded, the set is together again, and only one or two little screws are left over. It looks fine! Your hopes rise, gingerly you put the plug into the light socket, Phoof! a blinding flash, and a room full of Smoke! It may be easy to take things apart but it requires actual knowledge to put them together again. DIANE JOHNSON, Gr. XI, York House. SNOW Silently as sleep the noiseless snow is falling.

It all started out because I wanted to have some fun in- stead of always having the same old routine. Enough of my troubles, let me tell you my story. I am a little brown flea, but I would like to be referred to as Helen. It is not because I am stuck-up or anything like that, but, well you know how people are about fleas! It all started out one morning when Rover decided he would not take his morning walk. Rover, as you have probably guessed is a dog, and up until a few weeks ago was my home. He raised me from the time I was a baby. How I loved him. I crept up from where I had been sleeping and went straight to his ear. Rover, I asked, do you think we could go for our walk now? The sun is shining so beautifully and besides its a little stuffy in here. I heard a big crash and realized that Rover was not in a good mood this morning. His teeth had come a little too close for comfort, so I crept slowly back heart-broken and discouraged. I was just settling down to have to an- other snooze when I heard a voice. There at the bottom of my feet I saw, oh no it couldn't be, I rubbed my eyes and looked again, Oh no! But it was, another flea. Well I suppose I'd better see what she wants. Say you're new around here aren't you? Yes, I am, she replied, but I don't see that it is any business of Page T hirty-three yours. Why nobody else has a right to know more than I have. I own the place. Well, all right, my name is Donna, and with a little giggle and a flash of her long curly eyelashes I knew that we were friends. Say, I said, this is not any fun, let's get into some mischief. I'll get at the head and you get at his tail and bite him. Don't be surprised if he gnashes his teeth once or twice. Maybe this way we will get him out- side. With a flash we were off. Snap went Rover's teeth at his tail. Ha, ha, can't catch me, I yelled from the top of his head. After a few minutes of this Mr. Brown thought we were too noisy and put us outside, but we were only out- side a few minutes when he called us in again. Donna thought she was pretty smart and started to tease me for having been brought back in. Be quiet or I'll punch you in the nose, I firmly answered her. Now I know, why of course, Rover is going to a dog show this afternoon, ugh! that means a bath. Let me see, if I crept in his ear, I would not get wet. I'll tell Donna to get into the other one. Boy, was that some bath! Anyway we finally got to the dog show. Mr. Brown tied a big blue ribbon around Rover's neck. CI've always wanted blue for one of my room decorationsl. This is such an uneventful life. Dog shows, baths, morning walks. At least if Rover would win something! maybe I spoke too soon. J ust a minute now, Oh boy, we did it, we won the silver cup. Here comes the judge to present us with the cup. Thank you my good man, I'll remember you in my will for this, I said. Donna tried to quiet me but I was too happy. Tell me, I said, what good is a mouth if I cannot use it? Well that finished her. What did you say Mr. Brown? asked the judge. I beg your pardon, but I didn't say anything, he replied. Oh shut up you old bag and give us the cup, I yelled to the judge. Wait a minute sir, said the judge to Mr. Brown, you can't insult me and get away with it. Bang went his fist right on Mr. Brown's nose. Its your fault, Donna said, you lost the cup for Rover. See, that big mongrel on the other side is getting it. I wouldn't blame Rover if he sent you away. Oh I wanted that cup so badly too, I cried. I didn't wait for Rover to send me away, I packed my bags and left. And that is how I got in this situ- ation. A hobo, a flea of the roads and freight trains! I think I'l1 end it all. Please excuse my tear-stained paper, my red polka dot handkerchief has al- ready been rung out three times. Here comes a car, I am going to let it run right over me, and that I did. I guess it really was worth it though, I don't mind playing the harp at all, and the dog I have now is much nicer. You see, I can see right through him and I get all the fresh air I want. You guessed it, I'm in Flea Heaven, a place where all good fleas go. MARIE BARIBEAULT, Gr. X, Douglas House. ir WAVES Blue waves, Tossing and tumbling eastward, Racing to reach the rocky shore To crash on the cold, grey cliHs Draw back, and crash again And fall In foaming spray.

Page Thirty-four I BECOME PRINCIPAL OF RIVERBEND FOR A DAY Just imagine how you would feel, an ordinary girl, a student, and suddenly principal of the school you are attend- ing. That's just how it happened and it developed as quickly as that, too, but now I am going to tell you how it all came about. One morning at Prayers Miss Carter announced that we were going to have a new principal. A new principal. oh! that would be impossible thought I, you mean Miss Carter that you are resigning? All these things ran through my mind. There were gasps and exclammations of protest and then Miss Carter silenced us all with her hand. Yes, she added, and calmly went on but only for one day. This brought sighs of relief and color came back to our faces. We are going to have a contest which will last only a day. Every per- son who enters this contest must be a student of Riverbend. To enter you must write a school song suitable for use in sports, at Prayers and ordinary gatherings. Our judges will be the two English teachers and the results will be read at Prayers tomorrow morning. The award is to be Principal of River- bend for one day and the winner will take her position at Prayers day after tomorrow, while I take the day off and visit old friends. Good luck girls. At this Miss Carter nodded to the Prefect and the school rose and we went down to our classrooms. Every- one was bursting with enthusiasm. What would we write about? Who would win? Our class teacher came in and silenced us and gave us further instructions concerning the contest. We were given the morning to write our songs and all of us were soon busy at our work. As many people know, writing poetry is not one of my talents, but this was different. I had a feeling that I could compete against Bliss Carman and actually win. With this feeling I began and only stopped when my brain be- came exhausted. I handed my paper in and left the room. The afternoon went as usual, French, English, Gym and Study, and finally after evening study the day was over. Next morning the Porridge Pot was full of excitement, Helen, Marie and I dressed faster than usual and soon we went over to the school building. Prayers came and after the hymn and scripture everyone started squirming on the benches. Who would it be? Oh! dear how nerve-wrecking, thought I. Miss Carter glanced from row to row as though thinking it would be the last time for two days. Then she called upon one of the judges to give their decision and at last the moment had arrived. It has been difficult choosing the best piece of poetry as everyone has made an exceptionally good effort and there have been some fine pieces of work produced. I have the great honour of giving the title of Principal of the Day to Pearl Johnson. I sat still, I was astounded, oh! there must be some mistake but as I glanced about me I noticed everyone was look- ing toward me so I stood and went up to the front. I was congratulated by Miss Carter and the judges. Miss Carter gave me instructions about the follow- ing day. I was so excited I could barely stand but finally managed to get back to my place safely. Many of the girls and teachers came up and congratulated me and gave me pats on the back. The day went by quickly and I prepared myself for the following day. The dressing bell went but instead of getting up as usual I prepared myself for breakfast in bed and comfortably waited for Anna to bring it in. It was so nice to lie beneath the covers and hear Helen and Marie rush to the bath- room at the last moment. Breakfast finished I got dressed to go to school. No uniform, but a dress and I had to wear Miss Carte-r's black robe. How exciting! But of course it was a bit small. I went over to the office around Page Thirty-five ..

Wm ,gh 8.30 and waited anxiously for my first duty as Principal of Riverbend. A couple of the girls came to tell me they didn't have their uniforms on be- cause they were at the dry cleaners but otherwise very little happened until the bells for Prayers rang. I was a bit nervous but my room mates gave me encouraging glances as they came past me and soon I found myself en- joying the experience. We sang the hymn and I read the prayer. It was quite a feeling to nod to the Prefect and as I glanced across the gymnasium I thought how happy and healthy these girls seemed. alone in the the boarders came around the corner and asked in a meek voice: Soon I found myself office and then one of Miss Car-Johnson I could go home for the weekend. Mother is having a dinner party and wants me to help her? Here she paused and looked at me with pleading eyes. I thought, what would Miss Carter do? 0h dear, being a principal isn't so easy after all. If I was in this gir1's place what would I think? I hesitated and quickly replied. '4Well, yes Joan, I think it will be alright as long as you are back before nine o'clock on Sunday. Oh yes, Miss Car-Johnson, I'll be back in plenty of time and thank you very much. I sat down for a minute and soon I saw a girl standing before me. I looked up and saw that it was Marilyn. Yes Marilyn what can I do for you? Well, Miss Johnson, I was wonder- ing if I could draw 810.00 from my Trust Account this week as it is Dad's birthday and I have to buy him a present. Please Miss Johnson, it is on Sunday. I looked up at this girl and wondered how many times I had asked that ques- tion myself. She was so out of breath that I felt an urge to laugh and then I wandered, Yes, I think that will be alright, Marilyn, take the slip to Miss Bevis today so she can get the money from the bank. do you think Thank you, Miss Johnson, was her reply. Phone calls, people Wondering when school was closing this term, and vari- ous other things, kept me occupied all morning. At noon I was given the staff table and after dinner I was occupied with various things including a tea and a meeting. It was very nice being called Miss instead of Pearly and being treated so kindly but when it came to four o'clock I was not sorry to give Miss Carter back her black robe and put on my own grey tunic again. It was a pleasant and interesting day and if I did nothing else, I learned that to hold responsibility one must have patience, be able to see the- person's view, and most of all be able to look at the cheerful side of life. When I re- sumed my place as a student the next day, although only being away one day, I felt as though I had grown up and had finally become a woman. DONNA PATTERSON, Gr. X, Neilson House. 'k MY BROTHER A little boy of six foot two, Who never has a thing to do. Always getting what he wants, And pestering me with childish taunts. He always has the right of Way, And everything I do or say Must pass his judgment like a book But always with a superior look. If I buy a scarf or dress He tells me that it is a mess! But if he buys a shirt or tie I'll say its nice or I'll know why. He's always riding in the car But he won't drive me very far. And if I ask him for a loan He gives it, but first a loud groan. Maybe when we're old and grey, We'll begin to talk someday About our childhood, through fair and rain - And wish that we were young again. PAT RILEY, I Gr. X, Douglas House. Page Thirty-eight THE LOCKET I hate school! declared Mary with all the vehemence she could muster. You spend all your time on studying and never have any time for fun except during the weekends! But dear, you hardly spend any time on your homsework, and your father will be so disappointed if you don't do well in the exams! admonish- ed her mother. Oh mother - it's times like this that Pd like to stop school! About a month after this conversa- tion had taken place, Christmas ar- rived. In the Watson family the Christmas celebration centred around the parcel from Major Watson who was fighting in France. This year, as always, it was opened with much glee and merry-making. As the others were ex- claiming over their gifts, Mary was gazing with dismay at the ugly little half-locket which was supposed to be her present, it was in the shape of a semi-circle with a small rounded off part on the flat side, and had a chain attached. She was puzzling over this when her eyes fell upon a long note at the bottom of the box, it said: Dear Mary, I suppose you are wondering what this means. Well, I will explain. Your recent letters have been so full of complaints about your lessons and school in general, that I decided that something must be done about it. So this is your present as well as the story that goes with it. The story is this. Katrina de Borgmann was the daughter of a rich French Baron who was the head of the French Resistance Movement in their district. Katrina, who was just your age, wishing to do her share, also joined the resistance move- ment. Her job was to carry messages to ahd from her schoolmaster and her father. The schoolmaster was also very important in the movement. She would carry them in a secret compartment in a locket of which you now have one half. This went on for a year or so until one day the Nazis got suspicious. A former member confirmed their sus- picions after a little rough persuasion and a trap was set at the schoolmaster's home where Katrina was dutifully learning her lessons in case that her comings and goings were being ob- served. As well as Katrina, the school- master had other students who were there for more reasons than to learn their lessons. The Nazis, ruthless as ever, finding the schoolmaster's class nice and large - raided it and Katrina and many other loyal Frenchmen were caught and executed. The locket which you have is, as I said, half of the or- iginal. The bullet went through the centre. So died another for the freedom of France. The Baron, mercifully, was able to retrieve the bodies for a decent burial. He had the locket halved - part for himself and part for his wife. Later when he too, was shot, Madame wished me to send you the other half, because of your being the same age as her only child. Well my dear-I hope the bravery behind this locket will encourage you to do better in your studies. A Merry Christmas to you all. As Mary finished the letter there were tears in her eyes. Mother, I'm going to win the Pro- ficiency Prize - I know I can now! she said as she fastened the locket around her neck. DIANA MORTON, Gr. X, Garry House. ir RUNA Hark! Was that the key I heard? I must hurry back to my hiding place in the flour barrel. Flour barrel, you may ask? That's what I said, -- flour barrel. You see, I'm a big black spider. My name is Runa. I inhabit the very tiniest corner of the flour barrel in Mr. Jones' grocery store. That was Mr. Jones himself who just turned the key in the door. Won't you come and visit me today? I'll introduce you to my friends. First, let me tell you about the store. It is in a little country village, a few miles from the big city. The outside of Page Thirty-nine the building is in a sad state of repair and badly in need of a coat of paint. There are soft drink signs, tea signs, and almost every sort of sign nailed to the walls. Over the door hangs a muti- lated sign that when one really studies it, reads Jones' Grocery. Inside, the floor boards are badly worn. A few boxes have been turned upside down for chairs. The counter, which runs parallel to the front wall, is cut with the initials of almost every- one in town. To the right of the door as you entered, stands the telephone. Ah yes, that wonderful instrument the telephone! Mr. Jones bustled into the store as only Mr. Jones can bustle. He was a plump little man, with a smiling round face and a bright shiny bald spot on the top of his head. Mr. Jones went into the back room and took off his coat and hat. He tied on his big white apron -- it was big of course, because to go around Mr. Jones it had to be big. The telephone jangled angrily from its position on the wall. Coming, coming! called Mr. Jones. Hello,' he said, in his bright cheerful way. Yes, Mrs. Smith, No, Mrs. Smith, Ye- No-alright Mrs. Smith, Yes, Mrs. Smith, Yes, Iill send it over as soon as Tom co-Yes, Mrs. Smith, No, Mrs. Smith. No trouble at all, Goodbye Mrs. Smith. Whew, sighed Mr. Jones. All that over a cake of soapf' Mrs. Smith was rather a particular person who wanted everything just right. At ten o'clock, Tom came in. He was Mr. Jones' helper. With him came the mailman. Morning Mr. Jones. Morning yourself. Late aren't you? asked Mr. Jones looking at his watch. A little perhaps. Mrs. Mitchell got hold of me, and once you start talking to her, you just can't get away. Here's the mail. So long! and away went the mailman. Mr. Jones started sorting out the mail into the little slots. Besides being the grocery store for the village, Jones' Grocery was also the Post Office. A sudden tooting of a horn was audible and Mr. Jones went outside to fill the gas tank of the. waiting car. That accomplished he returned to sort- ing out the mail. It wasn't long before the store was filled with people waiting for their mail. Suddenly, what sounded like a stampede was heard. Don't get alarm- ed dear friends, it is only the school children coming to buy soda pop, milk and chocolate bars to have with their lunch. Around one o'clock, the store quieted down and Mr. Jones picked up the newspaper. It was three weeks old, but that didn't matter to Mr. Jones. He was busily reading the stock quotations when the telephone rang noisily, breaking his reverie. Mr. Jones rose slowly to his feet, laid the newspaper down, and said to Tom. Tom, take 'a cake of Luxurious Wonder Cream Skin Soap over to Mrs. Smith. She phoned for it this morning. Hello! Yes, this is Jones Grocery. No, lim sorry, we don't have any today, thank you! Mr. Jones hung up the receiver and picked up his newspaper again. Hm! Four o'clock already, mused Mr. Jones as the stampede of running feet and children's voices could be heard in the distance. In a few minutes, the store was filled with tiny tots and some that were not so tiny. Tom was back now. Tom was a very good friend of mine. He knew my secret living quarters and took care of me. It was getting close to five-thirty now, and it wouldn't be long until the men came in to pick up their mail and the family groceries. At ten after six, Mr. Jones drew the blind across the window, took 05 his large apron, put on his coat and hat, snapped out the light, turned the key in the door, and left me to my solitude. ANNIE LOU ORMISTON, Grade X, York House. Page Forty RUNA Lynne waited patiently outside the operating room. What would happen to her small child? Runa was only a baby. She had so much to live for, and yet here she was in the midst of a serious brain operation. A little child of four, all alone, in there! How lovely Lynne was. Silently she got up from her chair and started pacing the iloor. She toyed with her small purse as she prayed over and over again. Lord, don't let her die,-please? All this had happened so suddenly! Why only yesterday she and Jack had played hide and seek with Runa and now - UO God, she prayed again, Please let us have those glad times together again. She felt a strong arm around her waist. Her tear-stained face looked up and she saw the grave, handsome face of her husband looking down upon her. Oh Jack, what's going to happen to our little girl, she sobbed as she placed herself in his strong arms. Steady Lynne, honey. Runa is going to be all right. This isn't in our hands dear, and we must have faith. Jack choked back the tears because even he had little hope for his tiny daughter. Yesterday Runa had been playing up- stairs with her toys while her cheerful mother hummed a tune in the kitchen. Lynne was preparing the dinner and knew as she stirred the chocolate pud- ding that it would be a treat for Jack and Runa. They didn't often have cho- colate pudding for the simple reason she wasn't particularly fond of it. Five o'clock! Jack would be home soon and Runa must eat at five-thirty on the dot so she could play with her Daddy till six-thirty, when they had their dinner. Lynne was a very capable woman and always had everything very well organized. Five-thirty arrived and she went to the head of the stairs and called her small daughter. Runa darling, wash your hands like a good girl and come for dinner. Yes Mummy, came a little voice from upstairs. Lynne dished out Runas' dinner and put it on the table. As she turned around a little dark haired girl entered the kitchen with her hands out- stretched for careful inspection. Fine, said her mother with a smile. Runa ate her dinner quickly and was finished just before her Daddy arrived. The two ladies met the man of the house at the door. He kissed his little girl and his wife, took off his coat and hat, and strolled into the living-room where he sat down in the big easy chair. Runa was on his lap in the next minute. In a few minutes the family was engrossed in hide n' seek while the dinner waited patiently on the stove. Finally Lynne called the game to a stop. Runa, she said, 'eHow would you like to go upstairs and get Daddy's slippers while I get our dinner on the table? Daddy will just have time to read the comics. Runa tore up the stairs, she loved to please her Daddy. In a great hurry she opened the closet door, grabbed the slippers and forgot about the loose carpet on the stairway. Then came the fall! That terrible scream which brought both father and mother to the stairs. Their little child lay unconscious at the bottom of the stairs. The next few minutes the two in complete agony. The little curls were covered with blood. wouldn't she say anything, or lived black Why even cry? Was she going to die? Only an operation can possibly save this child. Its much too hard to explain to you what kind of a brain operation it will take, but please, for her sake, let me have permission, pleaded the frowning doctor. Well that was last night and all this came back to Jack and Lynne as they stood outside the operating room. The door opened. A man in a white suit of clothes proceeded to come to- ward them. His brow was covered with Page Forty-one tiny drops of perspiration, Lynne and Jack held each other's hand tightly and sent one final plea to their God in whom they trusted. Your daughter will live he said. I didn't think she would ever pull through, but she did. I think something more than my medical knowledge and skill has brought your daughter through this. She is coming out of the anaesthetic, you may go in and see her now. Jack and Lynne had tears in their eyes as they stooped over their little girl. They were as thankful as any two people could be. Runa spoke in a sleepy tone after some moments. Daddy . . . I . . . forgot to give you your slippers . . . I'm sorry. Then she fell asleep again knowing that two people who loved her stood over her guarding her from all harm. JANET BLEEKS, Gr. X, Nelson House. ik RUNA I am a detective. I'd like to tell you about one of the strangest cases we've ever had. It concerns a girl named Runa I'll start right from the be- ginning so that every element will be clear to you. Last week the chief called me into his office and told me about this girl who had been missing for two days. It was my job to find her. Runa worked in Larson's department store so naturally I interviewed Mr. Larson first. Apparently, he had been very fond of her and was most upset over her disappearance. Mr. Larson, to me, was certainly not lit to be the head of a department store. I'm sure a six year old child had more mental ability than he did. He was so upset and nervous that I suggested he should consult a doctor right away. He could remember nothing about the girl except what her outward appearance was. So I left the department store with the knowledge that Runa was a beauti- ful blond, slim figure and about five feet eight inches tall. I was supposed to find Runa! But I also learned that the room in which Runa had been working had a fire in it the very same day Runa dis- appeared. Immediately this conclusion jumped to my mind. Runa had been burned to death in the fire. I was wrong. Every living person had been able to escape from that room. There had been no trace of any body in or outside of that room after the fire. Only the furnishings had been de- molished in the flames. The next day some startling news reached me. Mr. Larson was found to be mentally ill. He had been taken to the hospital immediately and I was forbidden to question him any further. Next, I asked the other employees about Runa but they had never heard of anyone working there by that name. As a last hope I asked the cleaning woman if she knew anything at all about Runa. The cleaning woman! Why hadn't I thought of her before? Of course, she knew all about Runa. Hadn't she often heard Mr. Larson talking to Runa after the store had closed? Yes friends, it was through this simple old lady that one of the most baffling cases in history has been solved. Runa, was Mr. Larson's favourite wax dummy! . CARLA STEWART, Gr. X, Nelson House. ir HOUSE OR HOME There is a vast difference between a house and a home. When I hear the word home, immediately familiar pic- tures flash through my mind. However, this is not so, when I hear the word house. There is no picture of my bed- room, cluttered with well known articles. There is no Mother in a large blue apron and a little misplaced flour on the tip of her nose, taking a pan of freshly baked shortbread from the Page Forty-two oven. There are no school books thrown rather nonchalantly on the kitchen table, waiting patiently until I come and do my homework. There is no squeak of Dad's rocking chair as he rocks to an fro Cwearing out Mother's new rugl while engrossed in his favor- ite magazine. There is no one sitting at the piano Cwith his legs entwined around the legs of the piano bench? playing a melancholy love song. There is no black and white dog snuggly curled up before the warmth of the fire place, heaving every while a sigh of sheer contentment. No. there are none of these scenes in a house, but there are in a home. RUTH ANDERSON, Gr. XI, Garry House. ir A HIE'LAND VILLAGE Did you ever wonder what a high- land village is like? Scotland as I know it, is one of the most beautiful countries in the whole world. I hope this is not a prejudiced remark due to my ances- tral background, but truly I have never seen more gorgeous countryside to sur- pass, shall I say, the county of Ross- shire in which Ardgay is situated. I will never forget my first impres- sion of the village of Ardgay, where we were to spend seven weeks of our delightful vacation. A branch of the great sea swept up and on past Ardgay bringing its roaring waves along with it. Mountains minute compared to the Canadian Rockies, stretched proudly back from the shore as far as the eye could see. Patch-quilt farms, highland cattle and sheep, white-washed farm- steads, and a stately castle in the dis- tance gave me a true picture of the Scottish highlands. Only a few stores and a very few houses comprised the village. From Inverness the motor drive was lovely and here we were, coming to a halt in front of an old stone house, the front of which was covered with creeping vines. I rushed up the stone steps into the rose garden. I turned around and around, I then stood amazed. Was it real? How could any- where be so peaceful and filled with beauty? The Hrst morning in Ardgay I was awakened by the sunlight streaming on my face. Getting up I crossed to the window. The sun shone brightly on on the blue water, the wind shook the tiny green leaves, and far up the Kyle of Sutherland two fishermen were be- ginning their day's task in a tiny river which emptied into this branch of the sea. After enjoying a wholesome Scot- tish breakfast I bicycled about and stopped to talk to several of the vil- lagers. It seemed like reading a book listening to these characters converse with one another. The shepherds car- ried staffs and the gentlemen wore plus-fores or kilts. There seemed to be no hurry in life, everything just hap- pened when it did, and no one worried about a thing. It is miraculous for us to understand what an easy existence those people seem to lead. Bicycles, travelling from village to village, would cycle by with their knap sacks on their backs, buses with tour- ing parties and motor cars would hasten through the village community. There was no noise of the city. Faith- fully on Sundays the church bells tolled. Village spirit was shown when the pipers played in the square and all the lassies and lads joined in a gay hie'land dance. Such a friendly atmos- phere was created. Yes, this was cer- tainly the perfect way to live. Picturesque motor drives, sheep- sales, garden fetes, salmon fishing, con- certs and church activities built up a life of variety and interest. The beauty of the countryside was definitely in a class of its own. Never, never shall I forget the quaint highland village of Ardgay. CECILY ANN GUNN, Gr. XI, Garry Hall. Page Forty-three CHRISTMAS DAY It was Christmas morning. The light of a new day was making its way in through my slightly frosted window bringing forth the exquisite design Jack Frost had left there during the night. As I lay in my warm comfortable bed searching my mind in vain for a suitable title to Mr. Frost's master- piece, I felt different in some undiscrib- able way. Then I realized why and I smiled to myself. Today was Christmas. Looking out of the window I could see big fluffy snow flakes falling slowly downward to become part of the white blanket which covered the earth. I heard the joyous chirping of birds which was intermingled by the sound of a bell in the distance, chiming the ever beloved Christmas carol, Oh Come All Ye Faithful. Everything seemed more wondrous on this birth- day of the Christ. I lay there a while longer, lulled in a feeling of joy and ecstasy. I wondered a bit anxiously if Mother and Dad would like what I had chosen for them. It is so nice to see all the expressions of pleasure and hear the cries of delight when the gifts you have given are opened. CI will admit quite frankly too, that the parcels addressed to me had more than a little to do with my cheerful moodb. Then I turned to more serious think- ing. Christmas Day shouldn't be the only day in the year when looks of pleasure and happiness radiate from people's faces because of something you've done for them. Why everyday of the year we have a countless number of opportunities to continue the Christmas spirit of giving. A smile, a kind word, a thoughtful deed - these are more precious and lasting than any Christmas presents no matter how marvellous they may be. And far more wonderful still is the fact that gifts such as smiles, kind words, thoughtful deeds, are not limited to be given only to your friends. There is the tired clerk in the de- partment store, the bus driver, the elevator girl - to all those politeness and consideration are gifts which each one of us may give if we so desire. Not many people realize that every in- dividual on earth is given freely, an unexhaustable supply of these every- day presents, which if given as freely as God gave them to us, would help create a much happier world in which to live. Later, as I slowly descended the stairs to breakfast, I made a New Year's resolution a little in advance -- from this day forth, everyday will be CHRISTMAS DAY for me. RUTH ANDERSON, Gr. XI, Garry House. 'A' PARADISE'7 LOST OR FOUND? An article I read recently in a well- known magazine has prompted me to write this essay. This article read, and I quote, Come to Elko County, Nevada, the Paradise of the West. Although the Polar Bear Club of Elko County, whose members delight in chopping holes in the ice and then jumping into the winter-chilled water for a refreshing dip, might consider Elko County as having an ideal winter climate, I strongly advise anybody who is contemplating migrating to this Paradise to about face and go the other way. The lowest temperature recorded at Carlin, in Elko County, last January, was fifty-seven degrees below zero, which must have made even Carlin's residents feel somewhat chilly. The snow fell in such unbelievable quanti- ties that the sheep and cattle died by the thousands, and those which surviv- ed, were saved from starvation through the actions of the Federal Government who promptly organized the now well known Hay Lift. The summers in Elko County prove to be just as hot as the winters are cold. Although during the cold weather you Page Fofrty-four find yourself wishing for the heat of summer, when it comes, you find your- self again wishing, but this time for the winter. Motorists, intending to traverse the back roads of the country during the hot dry season, are officially advised to take along an extra supply of water with them. One man, who ignored this official warning, was found, several days later, dead beside his stalled car. In summer, a hitch- hiker would most probably die from sun stroke or thirst waiting for a motorist to come along, whereas in winter, he would quickly freeze to death. The residents of Elko County main- tain that they live in one of the happiest and most prosperous localities in the United States. Oh yes, they are pros- perous alright, thanks to the white- faced Hereford cattle they raise there, and the present high price of beef. Sheep also add greatly to the wealth of the county, but it must be true that sheep and cattle have no sense, other- wise they would leave. Important business in Elko County is transacted in the bar rooms and lobbies of its hotels, and a memo on a hotel letter head or even a scribbled note on a paper napkin is often the only record of a deal involving hun- dreds of thousands of dollars. Every community has its good points, and here the atmosphere of mutual trust is an accepted fact. Social snobbery is non-existent and it is practically im- possible to tell a millionaire rancher from his hired help. Yes, the residents of Elko County may be quite proud of their com- munity, but my idea of Paradise does not include such a wide variance in climatic conditions. DIANE JOHNSON, Gr. XI, York House. ir THE STRANGEST DREAM The scene was London, England. It was a delightful summer day, every- thing seemed to sparkle - the water of the Thames, the lion statues in Tra- falgar Square, the Rolls-Royce as it sped by, and even the golden hairs on my mother's head. The whole picture was alive. Well, I suppose it isn't fair to me just to tell you the setting and not the circumstances but it is difficult to know where to begin. It all happened like this -My mother and I were walking towards the Canadian Pacific Railway ofiice on Trafalgar Square. We opened the door, there was a hub-bub of voices as a young man came forward and asked what we wished. We explained that we would like to see Mr. Patteson. The clerk murmured, Do you know who he is? Yes, was our answer. The next minute it seemed, we were stand- ing in the palatial office of the general manager of all Europe. A very corpu- lent, cheery, business-like gentleman shook hands with mother. We both liked Mr. Patteson at once and he made us feel so welcome. Mr. Patteson and mother chatted about mutual acquaintances and then unex- pectedly mention was made of the Queen. The Queen, I stammered. I think he was joking to the effect that the Queen and he were both getting too fat! Then the conversation contin- ued on the subject of royalty, and Mr. Patteson said something about royal garden parties held during the time we were to be in London. He phoned some official and inquired. The reply was, f'One party is to be given on July 10, at Buckingham Palace. Those golden words! Mr. Patteson would see that we received invitations. I was living in another world! Life was really worthwhile after all. My heart was pounding as we stepped out of the office, and I didn't even notice the rushing crowd which filled the streets. The eventful day crept closer, the hour and finally the minute of depar- ture from the hotel arrived. A taxi drove us to the Palace and oh, it was such a beautiful feeling to drive in through those distinguished gates! The setting was unforgettable, All the pret- ty hats with feathers floating in the Page Forty-five breeze, the flags draped on the gates, the lilt of the English accent - it was all perfect but best of all - the Queen. She was indescribably lovely. Then there was the pretty Duchess of Kent in her pale blue silk, and navy-blue straw hat. We were introduced to her and she spoke so sweetly. Later I was standing behind her when she was conversing with Princess Margaret. I was brimming with delight when sud- denly - oh, how ashamed I felt, I had stepped on the train of the Duchess' gown. She turned to say that it was nothing at all, when I saw the gleam of devilment in Margaret's eyes. But I awoke! Yes, it had all been a dream. CECILY ANN GUNN, Gr. XI, Garry House. 'lr MODERN ART Two weeks ago, I was invited to visit the art gallery to view some paintings by modern masters. Entering the art section of the Winnipeg Auditorium, I was at once confronted by a marvellous painting of a general of the Mid- Victorian Era mounted on a white charger. The immensity of the picture and the contrast between the white charger and the subtle tones of the background struck me with awe. How- ever, this was not a modern painting which undoubtedly accounted for the fact that I derived pleasure from gaz- ing upon it. Compliments of . . . LORNE ROBERTSON 132 osBoRNE STREET The object of the modern art display, I was given to understand, was to com- pare the drab, dead, depressive paint- ings of the old masters with the bold, brazen, bright-coloured efforts of the so-called modern masters. How anyone can possibly prefer hanging a painting in one's room of a man with a boil on his nose to the hanging of da Vinci's Mona Lisa, I don't quite know. In fact, I firmly believe that the drawings of my six-year-old cousin show more in- clination to be artistic than a jigsaw- puzzle painting of a man whose eyes, ears, legs, and arms you find scattered throughout the picture in every place except where they should be. The art of painting, I am afraid, is rapidly degenerating. Recently, I read in a British paper a story of a young artist who had one of his modern paint- ings on exhibition in a London Art Gallery. He was rather amazed when everyone including the critics praised it highly and he decided to visit the gallery himself. There he found that the painting had actually been hung upside down and rather than disappoint his public he decided to let it remain that way. This article at the time seemed to me to be absurd, but after viewing the dis- play of modern paintings at the art gallery I am afraid that my aesthetic appreciation of' art will soon vanish. Modernism stresses the theory that a good painting must be a creative piece of work, and do more than try to rival a colour photograph, but a great paint- er, like any artist, is one who creates beauty. He succeeds only if he enables the spectator to share in the emotion, be it joy or sorrow, which he felt while working on the picture. This is not just a matter of a clever craftsman or a beautiful colorist. A true artist must have a deep inner conviction which he is able to impart to others. DIANE JOHNSON, Gr. XI, York House..
