104 Moonrise on Nighthawk Lake Last August a picnic group sat around a camp fire on the beach of Night Hawk Lake. A warm wind was blowing, which made the water very rough. The hills around the lake hid the moon, but we knew that if we waited we should see it rise, for the east was a silver sheet of light. As We watched the waves bobbing up and down, each one was touched with silver. When the waves dipped down the silver dis- appeared, only to re-appear a second later on anothr wave. The lake was a playground of moonbeams, Hitting and dancing on the wave-crests. Soon Mother Moon peeped over the hilltop to keep watch over her children. As she rose higher the moonbeams scampered over the waves to form a long silver path in front of her. Soon the whole lake was flooded by her light.

Montgomery fSec.-Treasl The first step in secondary education in Tim- mins was taken when the High School Board was appointed.
