As a result, we did lose the meet, but succeeded THE TATLER TRACK AND FIELD WINNERS Standing: S, Rokeby, C. Dreyer. Seated: N. Warren, M. E.

Congratulations girls! Volleyball This year for the first time, Tillsonburg entered a Volleyball team in XV.O.S.S.A. competition. There were also exhibition games with Aylmer and Simcoe. To enter the XV.O.S.S.A. games, the girls first had to oust Simcoe. This they did quite handily, in a two-out-of-three game series, taking the first two games by the scores of 35-9 and 40-6. At London, they met Kitchener and Stratford, in a two-game elimination ar- rangement. By this method each school played two games, with a different school each time, and had to lose both games in order to be eliminated. Tillsonburg lost both games, being de- feated by Kitchener by the close score of 21-17, and by Stratford by 20-16. 45

TRANSCENDENCE CHonourable Mention Serious Poemj Stark against the fading blush of summer's day, Etched in lacy black upon the evening sky, Leafage ,softly soughing in the twilight breeze, Lithesome birches toss their branches high. Shimmering moonlight creeping o'er the earth, liathes each silvery branch in mystery, 'Turns to shining filigree each leaf, Lending truth to birches' ghostly history. Dawning light's hrst flush of bronze-like hue, Gilds each trembling trunk to brightest gold: , Sunlight forms a nimbus round each crown, Hirches glorified as knights of old. Jean Scrimgeour, XHC. 1..,0T,.. CATCH THAT INK The history teacher was about to say, Now Caesar was killed on that sad day, When, Catch that ink! was roared from the back. Came a bellowing shout, and a loud ker- smack, And blue-black ink oozed over the floor, As bedlam reignedg there was shouting galore. Get jerry! Dicks yelled, 'tHurry up, and run. Aw shucks ! said the boys, VVe were just having fun. , The girls were angry as they laboriously toiled To clean the dresses which the ink had soiled. XYho dunnit?,' Dicks roared, and his face turned red, As the room fell silent with terror and dread. Me, squealed a wavering voice from the rear, As Hob stood up, knees shaking with fear. See here, said Dicks, '!VVe'll have no more 5 E And the room fell silent as it was before. Maurice Deliindt, XIA. 44 W BURIED TREASURE Many hundred years ago, Ships that knew not ice or snow, Stately galleons, burley men, Sailed the seas, plundered then, The southern world. Ships, with rustic guns aboard, Guarding jewels of pirate hoard, Stacking all their worldly stores, Sailed to verdant, palm-grove shores Unknown to others. Here they marked secluded spots On their treasure maps as dots. Swiftly with their course begun, Sought bullion ships or gems or gum To make life merry. Usually they died, by fate, Murdered by the mate's best mate, He too died by a pirate's hand, And likewise vanished from this band Forever with his secret. Robert lVlacLennan, XIA .-.-.. 0 T..-1 SCHOOL DAZE I crawl out each morning An hour before seven And, oh! how l wish I could wait till eleven. To the bathtub I rush For an icy cold shower, That, somehow, helps me To forget the hour. My breakfast devoured In a wild sort of flurry, I, then, for my hat Begin a mad scurry. It's not in the hall! lt's not on the chairs! Oh! now l remember, I left it upstairs! Here comes the bus! You should see me run: At least for this day- The beginning is done.

Cheerleaders held a dance in the gymnasium in order to raise money for new uniforms. Admission to this gala affair was only l0c. During the dance, several students tmostly boysl, dropped their odd change into a huge box that, by some coincidence, just happened to be sitting in the middle of the floor, with a large sign on it saying HDONATIONSU: One could not help notic- ing this box, as those dancing were con- tinually tripping over it! The music was supplied by the new disc jockey, ex-student Wfray Rutledge, who is well-known to all. Numerous spot dances were won, for which the lucky couples were awarded de- lightful prizes. Towards the end of the dance, Mr. Reid presented the cheerleaders with 5520 in cash, S510 from the Girls' Athletic Society, and S10 from the Boys' Athletic Society, to aid in purchasing new costumes, which were bad- ly needed. The total amount amassed for this purpose was 360. The dance was an unqualified success, and if you have any doubts, just take a look at the slick and original uniforms worn by the cheerleaders in their picture, appear- ing in this magazine.
