SPRING Spring is coming! Spring is here! Birds are chirping loud and clear. The wind is blowing fresh and free. Come be happy! Come with me. Audrey Ireland, Age 7. EASTER The rabbit is coming Easter eggs he brings! When I awake from sleeping, I ' ll see good chocolate things. Lynne Schofield, Age 7. THE ADVENTURES OF SKIPPY AND TEDDY SKIPPY was a little red-haired spaniel. He was very often getting into mischief and longed for adventure. One day as he was sitting on the front door step, his next-door neighbour, Teddy, came strutting by. Hello , said Skippy. Hi, said Teddy. Where are you going, Teddy? I ' m running away. It ' s no fun sitting on a blue silk cushion all the time, I want to go out into the world and see what I can see. Why don ' t you come with me, Skippy? Well, said Skippy a little doubtfully, I ' d like to, but I don ' t think my mistress would like it very much, but I guess I will anyway, I can easily come back again, [31]

So off they went, talking about wliat they would do and the lovely juicy honeti they would find that people had very carelessly thrown out in their hack yards. They had gone a little way wh- n tliey found tlieniKclves in tlie downtown section. Boys threw stones at them and little girls laughed at them. Later on they got to the lumber yards down by the tracks. It was getting quite dark, and all the men at the lumber yard were closing up. Teddy and Skippy were very tired after their long walk, so they got behind some boards and went to sleep. It was quite cold, but they slept soundly till morning. They woke up and looked around wondering where they were. Then they remem- bered that they had run away from home. Oh, look ! exclaimed Teddy. What lovely, crisp, soda biscuits. Quickly they ran over to what they thought to be soda biscuits, but when they got there, to their horror, they were only slats of wood. They looked around to see if they could find anything to eat or drink. But they could only find wood and sawdust. Sud- denly they heard a terrible noise that made them shiver with fright. It sounded like a gigantic bee Zzzzz -zz- zzzz ! It went on and on, getting louder all the time. Teddy and Skippy decided they had had enough adventure. It was two very hungry, bedraggled, little dogs who presented themselves to their mistresses late that afternoon. They were very happy to snuggle down on their cushions, and they said that they would never leave home again. Eve Gordon, Form Upper I. Snowflakes are falling; Winter is here. The north wind blows And Christmas is near. WINTER I ' m snug in my bed And dreaming sweet dreams. My room is all filled With fairies it seems. The treetops glisten With icicles bright; The moon is shining; ' Tis a beautiful night. But when morning comes The fairies have gone, And I see a white carpet Of snow on the lawn. Bakbaka Magor, Form II, Ross House.
