All else was still, until suddenly the bark- ing of dogs was to be heard, and o er the hilltop rushed a lunidred or so fox hounds, after a small red objec t, which darted across the meadow like a streak of lightning; after them came fifty or so horsemen. This small red object, as you may ha e guesseil, was a red fox. Among the dogs was Tan, a beautiful foxhound. Tan soon took the lead, and caught the fox, just as it was about to leap the brook. He held it until his master came and shot it. Good old Tan, he said, think you can catch another one? Well, on the way home. Tan ran ahead of all the other dogs, and they beard a yelp, and out of the woods came Tan. carrying another red fox. Good Tan, said his master. hen they got home. Tan ' s master gave him a nice juicy bone. Vicky Cumyn, Lower I. WINTER TIME It ' s winter time! It ' s winter time! I declare I think that ' s fine; It blows, it snows, It thaws a nd freezes, And then I get The sniffles and sneezes. Anne Wilkinson, Form II, Ross House. [29]

take me there. A girl came to the door when the Policeman rang. I was addressed to her. She thought I was very cute, and when the Police told her what I had done to the crook she put a nice ribbon on me, and gave me a kiss. One day she put a penny in me, and it tickled. She does it often now, and I am putting on lots of weight. I like very much to hear the money jingle in me. Frances Magor, Form Upper I. SEASONS AND REASONS In summer time I swim and float And sometimes sail out in a boat. When winter comes I skate and slide. In spring and fall my bike I ride. Patricia Meikle, Form Upper I. BETH HELPS IT all began when Beth was sitting under the chestnut tree near a grove of uncared for Sweet William. Suddenly she heard a wee, pitiful voice crying. Oh, deary me ! Oh, deary me ! What am I going to do? Because the great big horrid weeds Have captured Princess Sue. What ' s that? exclaimed Beth jumping up quickly. Look down ! Look down ! Now can ' t you see. It ' s Rhyming Rupert, Yes, it ' s me! Oh ! You ' re a Sweet William. Tell me all about Princess Sue and the bad weeds, said Beth always curious to find out things. The weeds have captured Princess Sue, They ' re very strong; we want her back. [28]

THE CORN COB ENTERTAINMENT FTER finishing a hearty meal of seventeen corn cobs, I excused myself, folded my ■L . napkin, and went to play Monopoly with my friends. I went to bed at nine o ' clock, and slept soundly for three hours. At twelve o ' clock, I woke with a strange feeling. I glanced at the end of my bed, and could hardly believe my ears and eyes. I pinched myself to see if I was awake, and found I was. Blinking my eyes, I stared at the end of my bed, and they were still there. They? The seventeen cobs of corn! The fattest was sitting on the best and shiniest part of my bed, gaily strumming a guitar, two smaller cobs were sliding up and down the bed posts, eight cobs were dancing, one cob was directing an imaginary orchestra, three cobs were doing acrobatics, and two cobs were singing for all they were worth! Besides this, I had a jumpy, queer feeling inside me. I turned on my light, rushed to the bathroom, and promptly took a dose of everything. I could find. Shoe polish, hair tonic, aspirin, nail polish, cough medicine, soap, pills, and shampoo all disappeared down my throat. Feeling full, if not any better, I retired to my room, but no sooner had I turned off the light, than the cobs appeared again. I groaned, and turned over. Next morning I awoke (with difficulty) and after dressing, went slowly down the stairs to tell the family of my adventures in the night. NE day when Peter awoke he did not feel like going to school because it was a V beautiful day. He told his mother he was going to school, but he really did not. He sneaked out his fishing rod and went fishing instead. When he got to the lake, he started to fish. Suddenly he fell right into the lake, and then the queerest thing happened. He sank right down into a place where fish lived instead of people. When he got over his surprise, he noticed in front of him a fish dressed as a police- man. The fish said, So you are one of those human beings that catch all of our fish. Jan Torrance, Form Upper II, Fairley House. PETER ' S DREAM [30]
