Canadian pride Cana.-a is a new wonderful country but many do not understand why we should be proud of Canada. We as Can- adians have many things to be proud of especially during 1967, and should realize that this is a very special ye.tr for all Canadians for we will probably never see another Centennial. Many do not realize or understand how much ingenuity, imagination, and planning in addition to time, money and effort of thousands of men and women, has gone into the making of Canada. This is something to be very proud of. Canada is now a hundred years old and quite young when compared to the United States or Britain, but this does not mean that Canadians should be any less proud of Canada. We as Canadians should be proud and grateful for having such a wonderful country to live in, for Canada is one of the richest countries in the world. Also, there are not many countries in the world like most parts of Canada where citizens live to- gether in peace and harmony regardless of race, colour, cree d, or birth. As Canadians we have many things to be proud of and I think that many are inclined to forget the Canadian Centennial because they do not know Canada and so think that we have nothing to be proud of. But Canadian cit- izens should be the proudest people in the world; proud of their country, her birthday, and proud of their fellow citizens. Shelly Paulson Division 9-A MOD We live in the age of modern things, Where kids go wild with clothes and rings. The clothes we wear are really neat, But knock our folks right off their feet. We ' re going in for checks and stripes, And please, parents, no more gripes! You tell us that it ' s just not right To wear our pants so very tight. You argue ' bout our skirts so high, However, they only reach our thigh. I think you ' re jealous of our taste, When you think of the years that went to waste Wearing those skirts that button so low, And topping it off with a great big bow. But then you find you just can ' t win, And finally, at last you must give in. Now you agree with just a nod, Our clothes, we know, are really MODI Karen Winn Division 9-A 30

|f p4l LITERARY U | 7TT ?: ' 7?TTT ' r-.rT7-. 7??rrr-rrrTrrTrTrrrrr TROUBLES OF aN AUTHOR When I write a paragraph I enter a world beset by- difficulties and mistakes. When I try to think of a topic, mind begins to wander. Pulling my hair, rack- ing my brain, and biting my nails, doesn ' t help and I still can ' t think of a suitable topic. Finally I think of one. I begin to write. Then my real troubles begin. As I start writing my pen runs dry. I cross out words. Sentences must be rearranged or shortened. 1 run out of space on the end of lines. My fingers are cramped from writing and sweat forms on my brow. The paragraph must be finished and a good closing sentence must be chosen. Think Thinklt I ' ve finally got one! Wri- ting furiously, I get it put down. Then I relax. The paragraph is finished and I now have to rewrite it. Tim Brown Division 10-A THE C5HTEMNIAL A hundred years has gone and passed Since the day of Confederation, When Canada became at last A proud and leading nation. This hundred years has not been lon , Not for us at any rate. We won ' t be around for another one, So this year let ' s all celebrate. Annonymous 29
