LIMERICK Our class was the smallest in town, A crowd that knew not how to frown; At times we were lazy To drive teachers crazy. But never did they let us down. Barbara Onischuk—XII JACK FROST rack Frost came last night llith his breath hoary white Ito paint on a canvas of glass llcenes that a painter cannot surpass. I is frosty hand paints in perspective; llature is definitely hie objective, hor on my window He has made llhite lacy designs inlaid. Joan MacDoanld—XII LIMERICK At times we would all get a whim And just make a dash for the gym; We ' d play with such din Or watch a team win. But always we acted wjth vim. Marion Bokerfohr—XII CITY LIGHTS AT NIGHT Have you ever admired the city at night? For my part, I did so and enjoyed such a sight. From the hill, you should see the reflection of light In the stream that flows past. Oh, what a delight ! Those wee stars that appear one by one in the dark FVom the windows of mansions lined up near the park. Faintly twinkle like fireflies sending their sparks All night long, when they play with those glittering marks. Once I saw a small casket of gems very nice. And was told that this treasure was worth a high price; City lights, brilliant pearls strung on black, look like dice That the player casts, hoping much from the device. If you travel by night, you will notice the glare Made against the low clouds, cause a glimmering flare To refract in the sky. That is why I now dare Pause a moment to write on such beauties so rare. Sister Raymorde St. Germain—XII

Cf)ns top|pe.r Colunplpas Christopher Columbus was another boy blue. Always daydreaming, thinking what to do. When I grow up. I ' ll sail out to sea, And India I ' ll find, you just wait and seel But when the time finally came. Not a soul agreed to help. So he went to Queen Isabella, Who understood the way he felt. She gave him a ship and sailors. And they started out to sea. But on the third day of sailing, They were as lonesome as could be. Out a mutiny almost broke But he kept as calm as he could. JCind and gentle were the words he spoke. And they calmed down as he thought they would. :Suddenly like a huge lamp in the sky. The heavens that night the moon did light. And not far away Columbus did spy, A small dim light, that was not very bright. He called to the others and said, What do you see? A light! they all shouted, over-filled with glee. They rowed to the land and got on their knees. And thanked God for guiding them. Through the terrible seas. .They greeted the Indians, one by one. And Columbus, gave a smile, to EVFRY ONE. Rita Maloney—VB — 1 i At school we have so very much fun. Running in the sun. We never, never run in school. Because we obey our teacher ' s rule. It ' s exciting when Friday draws near. Because on that day we can paint; To fail in Art we do not fear. So we all make many things quaint. Preparing for a spelling test Always requires a lot of study; Nevertheless we do our best, And when we pass, our cheeks are ruddy. Cecilia Zyha — VB
