June,1946 THE TECHALOGUE 99 DESTINY-DETENTION fWith apologies to Mr. Tennysonl Late, late, late- For thy grim, grey doors, O School. I would that my tongue could utter The thoughts of this tardy fool. Alas, for my warm cosy bed Whence I so reluctant arise. Alas, the breakfast uneaten, Just cause of a parentls cries. Alas, for the furnace to fix, Ablutions and other such chores, Which delay the well-meaning soul And earn him authority's roars. Late, late, late, And the Rosedale bus glides by, Leaving thoughts of detentions And many a heaving sigh. -The Twig fUr1iversity of Toronto Schools! ,.y...t BIRD'S EYE VIEW Three birds sat chirping, as all birds do, Literally airing their every view: They chirped of the weather, of spring styles and dress. And finally got 'round to Q.H.S. Chirped one, Have you noticed, my fine feathered friends. The letters and notes which everyone sends, While the teacher sits working, harder than ever, Trying to make his pupils clever? O yes, chirped another, and I also know, How in doing classwork pupils are slow, Yet the homework is done in a minute or less, Though it should take an hour, I must confess. And it's rarely you'll see a full uniform, Often it's home 'cause it's dirty or torn. Then a third broke in, You can take it from me, In lockers there's all from Ka' to 'z'3 If you want an umbrella, book, tunic or shoes, Sweater or magazine, take what you choose. Now I've stated their views on this situation, But remember 'tis here we get education. -'NANCY CORBEIL, The Key. CQuebec High School? i..y....... My love has flew, Her did me dirt, Me never knew She was a flirt.

Hello, he said. There was no answer. Just then the little duck looked into the muzzle of a shotgun. Duck , he cried, and ducked under the water. When he came up there were bits of wood all over the top of the water and he said: 'tWooden duck, eh? -The Bugle, C.H.H.S., Calgary. There was once a man who was trying to argue with a bus driver that the latter was charging him too much. Finally after an exasper- ating argument, the driver picked up the man's suitcase and threw it off the bus. The man yelled in protest- Isn't it enough that you try to charge me too much on the fare, do you have to kill my son too? -The Bugle, C.H.H.S., Calgary.
