NOVEMBER ROES.

successful winning 128 points, while Sixth and IV. C. have both won 124 points. As the Thirds have not had their competition yet, everyone is anxiously waiting to see who will win in the end. As the Lower Thirds are not taking part in the competition, they have been having competitions between the divis- ions in the Forms. We hope that the younger Forms will keep up their rEergetic practises next year.

I entered a garden of roses When the sun was shinirg bright; It seemed to me that the fairies Had been working overnight! For the place was one mass of blossoms, Of salmon, and pink, and white- Oh, those sweet November roses! Shall I ever forget the sight? I revelled amongst those roses, Spent many a happy hour: And I plucked a rose and marvelled At the beauty of the flower. It was white as snow on the mountains, And fresh from a summer shower: And I pondered and wished that my life might be As pure as this beautiful flower! WINIFRED E. SMITH, III. A. MODEST IU. B. Who are models of the school? Who strictly keep each golden rule, And never try to play the tool? Three B. Who. when the mistress leaves the room, Preserve the silence of the tomb And work away in solemn gloom? Three B. Who ne,,er cause their teachers grief But scan their text books leaf by leaf, And think the time for work too brief? Three B. Who work right well the whole term through, And think it quite a treat to "stew"? Say, who may be this noble crew? Three B.

Who ne'er in rage at problems boil, But welcome every arduous toil, And gladly burn the midnight oil? Three B. In fact before my rhyme I quit, Just tell me who would take a fit Unless you say that they are it? Three B.
