JESSIE ZACHARIAS, Winkler Jessie is a hockey fan, She likes to act whenever she can. Her hazel eyes turn to a lad. And in her class she’s not too bad. LAVINA ZACHARIAS, Winkler Blonde and blue-eyed, cheerful and bright, Plays basketball with all her might. Skating and hockey games she enjoys, Sits at the back and teases the boys! A Day in The bell resounds noisily through the long corridors and another school day has begun again. A general commotion reigns in the classroom until Mr. Braun makes his grand appearance. The fatal roll call re¬ veals a school-hater playing hooky. The teacher then starts off a chain reaction which soon finds the hooky player safely back in school. After the roll call comes the inevitable command — “Take out your Shakespeare.-’ We then settle down to learning quotations. For the next period 1 we change teachers and our energetic Maths teacher comes in with a cheerful “Good morning”. Learning equations is quite a problem but the end of the period dawns Grade IX-A at last. With this comes a five minute break but it is over all too soon. English the next subject on the timetable, difficult for many students in Gr. IX A and we’re always glad when it’s over. Delving into our History books with renewed vim and vigour, we discover new facts about the Russian Revolution. Then, fairly bursting with facts, we are further educated, this time in the study of Marsupials and Amphibians. The sound of the four o’clock bell spells typ¬ ing which is conducted only for volunteers. The following day sees everyone back, bright and “raring to go”. Clarence Redekop Twilight Slowly sinks the golden sun Behind the purple hill, Dusk and shadows have begun Each small place to fill. Scarlet streaks o’er cross the sky Crimson clouds and blue, Earth now knows that night is nigh Another day is through. Robins in the maple trees Sing in softer tones, Green leaves in the cooler breeze Hush their eerie moans. DAY IN GRADE XB (Cintinued) people have written. But when it comes to memorizing it, we wish they hadn’t written a thing. During the next period we diligently try to be business men. Is it more economical to rent a home or to purchase one? How should we keep cash books? This seems useless because who in grade ten has enough money to mark down in a cash book? Now Mr. Brown comes to teach us the x’s and y’s of Algebra, which have an awful habit of getting mixed up. The last period of the day is spent in Composition where Page 44 At the eastern silver moon Coyotes start to cry, And the twinkling stars will soon Speck the deep blue sky. Drifting from a cottage near Is a cradle song, Sung to little ones so dear Guarded by angel throng. God who has all in his hand For each knows what is best, Although tasks before them stand Each receives a rest. Margaret Dyck, Gr. XII Mr. Wieler teaches us different parts of speech, sentence structure and also ways to improve our use of the English language. At four we get our books ready to talke home. Everyone groans at all the homework he has. But then we really did come to school to study and with a desire to make our Grade X. Another day has ended all too soon. Some students stay to play basketball while others prepare to come back in the evening for basketball practice, orchestra, I.S.C.F., or operetta practice. Yes, life in Grade XB is busy, but it is rewarding as well! — Anne Froese
