FANCY

Delight,
In my net of gold thread

Oh,
is
Has
And

But
Far
And
And

have I caught a star?

light

fallen from the sky
sparkles there afar.
no,

Lady Moon has stooped
swept it all away

SO

I have my gold thread left
But not one single ray.

PINTUS

Indians - Pintus - dressed in

Cotton

print mauve and bluen

They wore sashes of scarlet
With daggers slipped thru'
Black ribbons round their white

sombreros

(Some embroidered with a horse shoe)
Their eyes were great big flashing

blue ones

Their teeth gleamed white as they did

smile

They rode spirited ponies that fiesta

day

Those dark Indians we met on our way.

One sport that they were playing at
Was wrestling with the bull

We joined the group of Pintus there
All crowded aroundthe fenced in. square
And watched the fun.

J. Pintu grabbed the young bull's horns

And climbed up: upon it's back
The bull kicked and reared until
Of course the Pintu had a spill.

The next Pintu was quick to seize
The horns and fame aspire,
But ere he won - something went wrong
Quite three of them were wrestling too
And talking quick like fire

And one drew out his dagger

But nothing happened.

"Behind the Palette" (Concluded)
However to get back to the present sit-
vation, it is nearing the end of the
winter term, infact there are just
about two months more to go -- and
nothing donc,except a little more paint
and crotonne worn from the common room
furniture. The only consolation we have
is that we are nearly all in the same
boat - But even that doesn't seem to
affect the teachers much when they are
giving us a. well-earned (?) mark in
the - hold on tight - exams,

So after two years of experience

with said exams we would like to issue

a warning to all the first andsecond

year students and even to the fourth
year, if they care to listen. That

warning is that it is time to start get

ting caught up on our unfinished work

and showing the staff that we really do

mean business, part of tho time;~ —at—....

least.

So for the next couple of months we hope
to find the common room empty except at
our regular intermission periods, and
here's for a period of hard work and
good results.
With best regards from
"In Front of the Palette"

NOW WE'LL ASK YOU SOME!

Why do people insist on decorating the
walls and windows, etc. with their
names and phone numbers?

Why, when there's coffee at noon,
there's no sugar and milk; and when
there's sugar and milk there's no cof-

fee?

Who smokes the most cigarettes in one
week and who pays for them?

Which student is the champion “borrower"
and "forget-toereturner"?

Is "Eddie" related to the famous match
factory people?

My don't the students with a dozen
smocks ever wear one of their own?
