Page 14 - 1953

To the woman who has guided us through our formative years•••••who has im- pressed upon us the necessity of honesty and sportsmanship•••••who has willing- ly helped us to get "caught up" when we have been absent••••• who has given extra help if we couldn't understand a difficult phase of mathematics••••. who is skilled in the art of mathematics and can present it to the class concisely and clearly•••••who has taught us to be loyal citizens of Canada•.•••
To you, Miss Clark, our form teacher, we of the graduating class humbly dedicate our section of the 1952-53 Gleaner as a small token of appreciation for all you have done for us.

DAWN
Drifting lightly through the open window, The sleepy twitterings of the happy birds Mingles with the sighing of the breeze.
The elfin ray of morning sunlight shines, Glittering on the fresh and dewy blooms
Of full-faced morning glories by the fence.
The lacy cob-webs droop majestically, Each with a hazy drop of diamond dew Like gossamer veils of Lady Dawn's gown.
The streaked heavens, with harmonious hues Of mauve with yellow and of blue with azure, Were painted overnight by nature's hand.
The glimmering image of an awak'ning world Reflects aptly in these priceless treasures Which joyously greet us each new day at dawn.

"JEST" FOR FUN Shirley: Don't you love driving on a night like this?
John: Yes, but I thought we'd wait until we got further out in the country.
Glen: That's pink lightning lipstick you're wearing. Isn't it? Dorothy-Anne: Why, yes, but how did you know?
Glen: Oh, I've been struck by it before.
George: Duane, you look all in to-day. What's the trouble?
Duane: Well, I didn't get home until after daylight, and I was just undressing
when mom woke up and hollered, "Aren't you getting up pretty early?" Rather than start an argument I just put on my clothes and came to school.
