Icy waters under the floe. Glaciers, ' bergs and massive seas. Smooth, cold stones and evergreen trees. - by Jonathan Bell Nicholas Pettit Present to Past I stepped into the machine. All I could remember was the whirling, swirling, upside down movement. I remember waking in the bright morning sun, soil all around me. I heard the cries of birds but they did not sound like the cries of any bird I knew. I looked down at six chirping little creatures, none of which I recognized. Scaly bodies, sharp gleaming teeth and an ugly mouth made these creatures retile- like. A sudden tremendous earth tremor fully awoke me. I looked up expecting to see a hypersonic plane darting through the jungle-like scene, but what I saw was a towering creature, the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Why, I thought to myself, I must have travelled back into time instead of forward. My future studies were ruined! The stamping feet of the monster awoke me from my thoughts. I stumbled out of the dinosaur ' s path a hundredth of a second before he reached me. The creature attacked again. This time I was ready for him. Unbeknownst to the dinosaur, I was holding a cocked laser gun. An intensely concentrated yellowish-greenish beam of light made the monster fall down to the ground and stop breathing . I looked at the dinosaur. The six little creatures I had seen earlier were scampering all over the dead body, licking it and whining. I realized I had just killed the mother of 6 baby dinosaurs. The time machine had been crushed in the fight, so I could not return hom. I lay down to rest, thinking how enjoyable a life in this quiet, non-polluted world would be. I lay there, six dinosaurs by my side , waiting for time to pass by . - Scottie Ma AUSTRALIA V. SCOTLAND A Live Report by John Harvey The tension mounts, the fans silently await for the teams to come into view, then the first voice shouts, Here comes Scot- land! The Scottish supporters all cheer at the top of their voices while the Australian supporters boo. Then with a cry from an Australian supporter everyone is cheering because both teams are in sight. The kick-off is for the Scots, but soon Australia is in charge. An Australian number 13 called Dick Koala skilfully dribbles back over the half-way line, and then passes to David Sheep who turns toward his own goal in order to avoid a defender He taps the ball above his head, jumps up and over, his left foot making contact with the ball in midair. The ball goes flying faster than lightning towards the right hand comer of the goal with the Scottish goalkeeper, Ralph Hill, swooping just a millionth of a second too late behind it. David Sheep runs back into his own half where he is smothered with every Australian player upon him. No more goals are scored until after half-time. Australia has control of the ball and is moving up the line at an incredible speed. Su ddenly a defender from out of nowhere fouls Au- stralia ' s number 31, Michael Kangaroo. The foul is taken by Koala, who passes to Kangaroo. Kangaroo jumps up and down with the ball over all of the Scottish players and stops right in front of the goal. Ralph Hill makes himself ready while Kan- garoo takes three steps backwards. Number 31 takes two run- ning steps towards the ball, and kicks it with almighty force. The ball goes straight towards the goal keeper. The ball hits him and he and the ball fly into the goal. A doctor comes in with a couple of men carrying a stretcher, and Ralph Hill is taken to hospital in a coma. One of the defenders comes into goal and a sub comes into defence. With a minute to go the Scottish have a penalty when Kangaroo fouls a man in the box. The Australian goalkeeper. John Snake, tenses ready to save the goal while the Scottish forward, Ralph Snow, gets ready to kick. The penalty is taken, John Snake dives three feet into the air towards the left hand corner and saves it!!! The crowd roars and the whistle blow s for time. 29

Prize Winning Prose Winners in the Adderely Brothers Travel Essay Why I would like to go to New York Three years ago, I was in New York with my family. We were there for only two days and saw as much as possible. I went to the Statue of Liberty and the Guide told us all about it. He said it was presented to the United States by France in 1884 in commemeration of the two countries alliance in the Revolutionary War. We also went to the Empire State Building. It ' s one of the largest office buildings with over two million square feet of office space. The height of the building is 1,742 feet. But the one thing that stood out in my mind most of all, was the people that go to make up New York. The people playing violins, guitars and other instruments on the corners and outside theatres, the frantic people going to and from work, the girls with their multi-coloured hair and the different things that go to make New York such an exciting city. It is to see these people again and to see if anything has changed that I would like to go back to New York and spend more time there. - by James Lotherington 7S I would like to visit New York because it has huge toy shops like Toys ' R ' Us, and restaurants like McDonalds and Burger King so I can have milkshakes and hamburgers. I would like to go to the Empire State Building and the World Trade Towers (which is called the Twin Towers) for the wonderful view. I would go on a ferry boat to Manhattan island so I could see the Statue of Liberty. Then I would go to Central park so I could look at the Empire State Building from below, also I would play in the playground at the Park. I would like to go to New York on July 3rd so the next day I would be able to see the unveiling of the Statue of Liberty. Before it is unveiled I would like to see the tall ships sail past. I would also like to see the fireworks display. This is why I would like to visit The Big Apple City. - by Nicholas Strong J6A Many first-time visitors going to New York usually expect a grey, fast-going city with nothing to do but shop. Phooey! There ' s a lot to do. Here ' s a few things I ' d like to do. Take a hike in the Catskill mountains or go skiing there. Id take a tour through the winery at Finger Lakes and see how wine is made and bottled. Td take a swim on Long Island ' s sandy beach, then take a stroll through Chinatown. Id go trout fishing in a stream in the Adriondack Mountains. Td take a walk on Wall Street and see the hustel and bustle of the Stock Market. Td climb all the steps in the Statute of Liberty until I get to the top. Td visit the World Trade Center see New York from the top of it. Then Td go on a shopping spree at J.C. Penney or Sears or K. Mart or even Toys R ' Us. Ld go to Madison Suare Gardens and see some wrestling or bo.xing. That ' s why I want to visit New York. - Theodore Frames 6A 30
