My Trip To Bugs Bunny Studios One Wednesday morning the only school period Ave had was Reading. Then we started off in the car for the Bugs Bunny Studios. First we had lunch at the Park, then we went to the Studio. When we got there, there was a big wall. Then we went into a door. Inside was a little Box Office and there was a Bugs Bunny comic put up to advertise it. While we were waiting we heard some funny music. Then a bell rang and out of every door came people. A man called Bob came up to us and took us to the room where they draw the pictures. He showed us some pictures of a movie that was going to be made. Next he took us to the room where they paint the backgrounds and then into the room where they put the Characters on Celluloid. The Celluloid is put onto the backgrounds. After that he showed us the machine which they start to animate the pictures. We also saw the camera which takes the pictures. After that we went to the Museum and then we went back. J. M. McK.

Hawking WE had our hawks ready to send after some game. We decided to go into the small forest of shrubs where I had seen some pheasants. After we had been there about five minutes one of our hawks started to flap its wings about. We all looked in the direc- tion it was trying to fly but all we could see was an owl sitting on a perch high in an oak tree. Obviously the hawk was trying to fly up and fight this wise old owl. He was a hawk which we had found tangled in a barbed wire fence, and we always thought he was a feeble hawk. But he broke the short leash and flew up to engage the wise old owl. The owl seemed stronger than the poor old hawk, who started to flutter down to the earth, but when he was less than two feet from the ground he flew up with a glow coming from his wings. When the owl saw what was coming towards hi mhe turned back and fell screaming to the earth, dead. Our hawk flew away and has never been seen since. The idea for this story came into my head one night when, up in the sky, I saw a bird, glowing in the sunset, in pursuit of an owl. N. D. E. S. (Form Remove B) How I Went To Yosemite MY story begins when we were having dinner. Father said, Guess where we ' re going. Everyone had a guess. I said 44 To Yosemite, Father said Yes. Later we started out, and after a long time going over hills and meadows we came to Yosemite. We saw the highest trees in the world and saw roads going through trees too. Then for a long time we followed a winding road around a mountain. Finally we came to a long, long tunnel. When we reached the other end it looked like a paradise; sheer cliffs of gran- ite going thousands of feet high, waterfalls, beautiful trees, rivers, great rocks that seem to touch the sky, great domes made of granite, and oh, so many things else, that I cannot mention them all. One of the most wonderful sights was right on top of Camp Curry. There Avas a cliff. At 9.00 p.m., after a lot of music and movies, there was a fire fall. It dropped for about 200 feet or more, into a bay that you could not see. After a few days we climbed the Yosemite Falls. That Fall is the highest sheer fall in the w T orld. It took us three hours to go just to the bottom of the fall because there was a smaller fall under the big one. We went to Glacier Point, that is where the Fire Fall comes from. We went to many other places that I can ' t tell about. E. H. McK. (Form II) SCHOOL MAGAZINE Page 25

rugby FOOTBALL « 1944 » THE Rugby team of 1944 was unlucky. Its record of one win, one draw and four defeats did not represent either the ability or fighting qualities of the side. We were dogged by injuries all through the season and were never able to play at full strength. Even so, our defeats were all by narrow margins — never more than 6 points. Edmunds captained the team very well. The second XV, after losing its first match, settled down well and won its next three games comfortably. But the best football of the year was played by the Colts ' XV. Coached by the Head Master, their tackling was reminiscent of some of the great Shawn ' gan fifteens of the past. They were badly out- I 1st RUGBY FIFTEEN Back row: G. H. S. Parke, J. W. Pruett, W. R. Forrest, R. M. Patterson, S. G. Milbrad, J. A. R. Bourke, A. W. R. Burrows. Middle row: I. G. L. Freeth, J. S.
