One bright and lovely sunny day, The Juniors so happy and gay, Started joyfully out for a stroll To a spot a little south of the school. Just as we left the old school ground And were opposite the old school garden Suddenly we heard some very queer sounds Made by an industrious Indian, Looking very closely again We saw a span of horses panting, And there was Joe Wiggins with might and main, Tilling the ground for spring planting. As farther and farther we walked we heard A noise that came from the pasture, Which proved to be the big school herd . Enjoying the gifts of nature. Then as we entered the leafy bowers We gaily ran hither and thither, In search of the beautiful spring wild ' flowers, And present them a!l to our teacher. We admired the scenery around us? But this was not all to adorn, The weather presented to each of us A taste we were all longing for. Then taking a glance at the hills, We saw some boys whom we thought Were idle, who work at their will, But found work was what they sought. Then dropping our eyes a little To the muddy waters of Lake LaBish, We saw the forlorn, nodding thistle, Which said "Take me, if you wish." . As we trodded farther and deeper in The woods, we heard a frightened cry, "Snakes!" but. knew that we would win If a battle they'd dare to try. On returning to our happy home, Our hearts were o'er flowing with joy, For two more good years are yet to come Before we say "goodbye." Harry Jones. The Seniors are ' through with their quarterly test and they are looking foward to the final test which will take place some time in the month of July.
