Homework By Arlene Catton The staff how they fret and froth and fume When we complain of the cold in dear old D” room. That’s nothing compared to the fuss that they make When we huff about homework that keeps us awake. Social Studies, essays, history and dates— They taunt us, they haunt us, and fill us with h ates. Geometry questions, they buzz in my head; Tory comes to the rescue before I’m quite dead. The moon, and junk jewellry, what essay material— I speak now of English, the subject ethereal. “B” room, Biology, beetles and snakes Oh for these poems I do love to make. But talk about homework, Biology beats all. In search of assignments we get down and crawl. French, now really need we talk about that? Am I naturally dumb or does it knock everyone flat? Will I never finish this homework tonight? Now to that Physics, my what a sad plight! Psychology, more homework I don’t really abhor. But when I could be at tennis, gosh what a bore! Home Ec. What a hope, there fly my four credits. Sewing and cooking and cleaning—I dread it. So there my dear teachers is the plight of the student: We work and we slave because we are prudent. (Air teachers, we plead for less homework next year. Be kind, lie considerate and make yourselves dear. 43

W. H. S. Sports By Eddie Ringrose The Wainwright High School had a crack-up hockey team this year, which tested its skill against teams that it had small hopes of beating. Vermilion was defeated by the W-H.S. boys for the first time in history; and just to show them that it wasn’t luck, we heat them four games to their none during the whole season. There were also a number of games played with the Edgerton and Irma High School teams. These were all cinches except one, in which the boys slackened up a bit and “let” Irma win. The Army seemed to be about the only team in the country that could defeat us, but our many games with them gave the boys a chance to play better hockey and to catch a few pointers from more experienced players. The team, accompanied by about forty of the High School hockey fans made a trip over to Camrose in the back of Lou Tory’s truck. That was one of our unlucky nights, but of course, the boys were rather stiff after the cramped-up condition of the four-hour trip. The season’s climax was when the team went over to Wet- askiwin to play a two-game total series. Arriving in time to rest up for the eight o’clock game, we were unlucky the first night, and lost (i-4, even though we did have most of the chances. After a good night’s rest we played again Saturday nig’.-.t, and won 8-2, making us come out on top, 12-8, in total points. This game was the last of the hockey season, and it certainly was an ideal way to end it- Now that all the snow and ice from winter have melted away the boys are well into the ball season. A baseball league has been drawn up among the various high schools in the division. So far, W H S. has maintained a record in not losing a game. 45
