It gre-w- Ever it chonged its shope. i knew Thot soon the sun woulC hide from view- The clouds would overcost the blue. A flosh of lightning--then the thunderl The god of storm will reop his plunder. Down comes the roin, breoking ossunder Flowers {rom their stems. All must go under. Ten minute's wrolh-the storm is over The sun shines bright- From out the clover Bees stort onew- Noture, the lover Of o11 the Eorih, Siorm's wreck sholl cover.

-Julio Strinqer

THE WAVE. A slow green wove, for out from shore, Come rolling in toword ihe mognet edge Of lond. Heovy it wos, ond ohvoys more JMoter orose behind to push ii on. The roller, stirred by wind, ond woxing wroih While scorce o furlong out, before its time Begqn io curl, ond showed o swirl of froth Edglng its forceful green with creomy white. With swirling strength it hostened on ihe tide, Then, in o flurried smother of disturbed foom, Towering too high, it felI, ond scottered wide, And soon wos drown down in on underiow.

OF GARDENS. Everyone loves to wonder oround o well-kept gorden, cd- miring the qoy fiowers, trim green lowns with here ond there o potch oJ dorker green clover, ond neot poths, to wotch for the firsi buds on the spring {lowers, or the {irst timid green shoots of the winter bulbs, to smell the deliqht{ul scent of eorth freshly wotered, ond to see the dew sporkling on the leoves, the gross ond the spider's webs in the eorly morning. To be o good ond e{ficient gqrdener, one must hove o delinite temperoment, potient, ond {ree from impetuosity. A11 the disoppointments of the hobby-plonts dying becouse oI poor soil or insufficient moisture, onts eoting ihe seeds one has corefully sown, ond numerous other petty onnoyonces--crll must be borne potiently if one is to succeed in the end. Beverley Nichols, in his book "Down the Gorden Path", gives cr very omusing occount of his ottempis to moke c gor- den. He tells one entertoinins story of his attempts to build o fish pond. He duq the hole himself, ond succeeded in build- inq quite o creditoble pond, when his neiqhbour domped his spirits by oskinq whot he intended to do with the huse mound of soil he had dus out o{ the hole. Noihinq dounted, he replied thoi it wos going to be q rockery, ond to mqke his boost good, he ordered the stones, of which he eventuolly bouqht q ton, there beinq o reduction in price for lorge quontities. At lcrst, ofter mony poinful incidents, his rockery wos built, ond wos imposing indeed. Consisting of d ton of stones ond much soil, it towered crbove the {ish-pond whence it originoted, ond hod to be removed ofter ol1. 20

CETEBRATING ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEANS OF AUSTRAII.A.'S FOUNDATION IN SYDNEY. It wos o beoutiful doy, the woters of ihe Harbour spcrkled in the sunlisht, ond the ferry b'oots went bocl< ond forth in the "troio* of itte qreot bridqe. On this doy, Austrolio's Mqrch to Notionhood wqs to be unfolded os q pqseont. The clock at the Generql Post Office chimed ten, qnd for down Mocquorie Street the crowd cheered. A troop of New South Woles Mounted Police led the proces- sion, ond they were follor,r'ed by four mounted herolds in sporklinq siiver choin moil. Then. cqme floats, on the first of which wqs represented the storY of primitive Austrolia;-the originol inhobitonts, the oborigines, were shown, some sittinq outside the qunyqh cook- lng, others in wor-point woving bomerongs cnd nuilcr-nullas' Next, Coptoin Cook wos seen lcndinq ot Boiany Bay crnd beins sreeted Ly crborioines. As the Coptoin Cook floot pcssed on, ihe Coptoin Phillip floot wqs seen with Collins ond Boll crnd the morines dressed in red ond white coots qnd white breeches, three cornered \ots crnd block boots, ond lost come the convicts, slouching qlons, some singing, others grumbling. Models of the "Sirius" ond the "Supply" followed. Mony floats followed, representing mony scenes: The Pioneers in coloured shirts cieored the lcnd for cultiva- tion ond built los homes; the New South Woles Army Corps, whlch once coused so much trouble, now ployed o stirring morch; Bcrss ond Flinders soiled cmong the "greot woves" in the "Tom Thumb", just os thev did in 1795. Then we were shown the Tonk strecrm, once Sydney's woter supply, anC the discovery of cool qt Newcostle by Lieutencrnt Shoitlcnd. John Mqcorthur, founder of the wool industry, wos show1, o.rd th.tt c sociql gothering qt Ccmden. Next' Governor Blish wos "depcrting", not, crs the slonderous story once told, beinq drogged {rom under c feother bed. Then Wentworth, BIox- lcnd, ond Lcrwson were seen crossing the BIue Mountoins in 1813. Here, the spirit of couroge ond odventure were mogni- ficently reccptured. Mccquorie, the roqd builder, then opened the first rood from Sydney to Bothurst. The representotion of the discovery of qold by Hqrsreoves wcs followed by one of the qold rushes, where men, women crnd children were seen in cll kinds of conveyonces on their wcy to the qoldfields. Models of the first Post Office ond the present one were seen side by side. The first troin, trqm ond fer4', "penny- forthinss", ond the Wentworth cooches were also in the pro- cession.

"Silver" qlittered qbove the other floots representins noturol resources, ond the droperies of the riders were in the colour of this metol which hos helped to enrich Austrolio. "Federqtion" wos inspiring, with huqe cornucopios pouringr out ripe fruits. Queen Victorio was seen signing ihe preclous document which mode Ausiroliq one. "Britqnnio" rode with her escort of lions; ond close behind come "Peoce" led by a dove with outspreod wings. And so concluded the One Hundred ond Fifty yeors o{ Austrolio's lt4orch to Notionhood; truly o wondeifui record, vividly portroyed. " ]oon Godfrey, V. tIFE Our life is like o blozing fire briqht,

Thot kindled is ot first by one smoll sporr, Which fed, continues still to grow eoch dov Unril it reoches such tronscendoni light Thot o11 qround ore wormed by its glow; And men qre thonkful for its wormth ond 1ight. Like to the.shivering noked mon Who crouches o'er the fire low ot night, And from its heot derives his soving breoth, His wormih, his food, ond oye, his very life, And in the morn lvhen he is gorie his wov. He blesses it with fervour, in his heort; So do these comrodes cluster round its bloze, And go their woy, up-lified in their souls, And proising God who sent thot cheer{ul flome, To light them in their weoriness ond toil. But not for ever con this {ire burn, For soon its flome begins to Ilicker low, And, costing but o feeble light oround, ii slowly burns itseif owoy, until A heop of briqht qnd glowing embers ore Of thot bright {Iome, the only poor remoins. And they, too soon,. begin to fode ond die, And oli the glow goes out, ond leoves them cold. So thus it is with us, our course is run. Our fleeting footsteps corry us olor Into the lond where o1l the spirits go, To live ot length in everlosting peoce.

DAWN OVEN THE SEA.

The woves were gently lopping, As they broke in ploylul donce Upon the silv'ry seo shore, just ot down. The sun, while slowly rising O'er the wide, dork blue exponse, Touched with golden fingers the grey morn. And os she trovelled slowly O'er the dim ond misty sky She left behind o trock of golden light, First sign of doy-thot sunbeom Driving dorkness from on high, Cost oside the curtoin of the niqht.

LIBRARY DAY.

I hope thot some of the more innocent members of the school will noie ond benefit by this worning. Bewore of swinging librory doors ond borriers of {orms ploced in front of them. To my sorrow i hove olreody leornt to do so ond I odvise my {ellow schoolmotes to lecrrn speedily. Cn s certoin Mondoy lasi term, I decided to chonge my librory book. I ventured into the librory room ond stood peer- ing into the bookcose in secrrch of scme fovourite outhor. But I did not continue my quest for long. Suddenly I wos rudel1. inlerrupted by the form which wqs to be used os o borrier being puiihed into my mid-riff. "Cuch!" I ejoculoted. "Sorry old thinq, but i couldn't help it," remorked the sixth former who wos monipuloting the form. When ot lost the borrier wos in position in front of the book-cose, I looked eogerly forwqrd to the opening of the doors. "About time," I thouqht srumpily when the giris in chorge begon to unlock them, for os you con understond, my feelinss were rother ru{fled. However, my misfortunes were for {rom over. A door swinging on its hinges, unkindly rushed forword ond bcxed my left eor while i wos reochins for ihe desired book. "Cw", I mooned, "how much more of this do I hove to stond. Reolly you know", sternly oddressing the inoffensive looking door, "there ore limitsl" Eventuolly, I escoped with my book, ond went to hunt for my cord. When I finolly obtoined it, I discovered thot I hod occidentolly put the book I wos returnins bock into the book- ccrsq. Resiqnedly I returned qnd brovely dored the drogon osoin. Fixinq thot swinqing d'oor with o belliqerent eye, I mode o chqrge post it, grcrsped the book, ond flunq myself bock qoin, without, I moy proudly odd, fcllinq over the borrier. \Mhen my cord wcs doted, I of lost monoged to escope from thot ploce where I seemed doomed to be brutqlly os- soulted. Mutterinq "Never Aqoin", I rushed out into the gor- den to regoin my equilibrium. But on the followinq Mondoy I wos bcrck for onother book. -Moris Kinq, V. 32

TIIE FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL. Whot o huge, stronqe world school is to newcomers? As I entered the gotes of the Brisbone Girls' Grommor School for the first tirne, I reoliscC the true meoninq of the word "lon.ely"' Fourth, Fifth ond Sixth Formers stood in sroups relotins holidoy experiences, while we, the new "Thirds", were stonCing round strongeiy olone, knowing nothinq of this mysterious secondqry school life. "Whot do we do?" "Where do we qo?" "Whot percentooe did you get in the scholorship?" "Whcrt subjects ore you tckins?" Th"r" were but o few of the unonswered quesiions which 'were pcssed from one to the other. None hod ony time 1o onswer the others' questions, they o11 wished to osk quesiions them- selves. The noisy bwzz of conversotion wos interrupted by the ring- inq o{ ihe sch'ool bell whose sound directed us to the Assembly Holl. After Miss Lilley hcrd oddressed us, she divided Lrs up into lorms, cnd we were sent to our clossroom. Whot omusement we found lookincJ round cri the vctrious qirls, ond forming our opinons ol eoch ond choosinq which we should like to be our intimote {riendsl I wos very fortunoie to know well four sirls in the form. Our survey of our clqss- moies rivos interrupted by the entry of our Form Mistress who told us thot her nome wos Miss Pork. Then the rnistresses come to exploin the course our studies were to toke while we were qt the School. After lunch we were dismissed so thot we could go home to mork oll our books ond uniforms. Whot pride we felt as we left the school for the first time weoring our new school uni- forms, ond how well we behcved so cs not to cost ony slur on the good nome of OUR school - The Brisbone Girls' Grcm- mqr School. Now thot the second term hos olmost finished, sone is the shyness which qssoiled us on the first doy. \Me hove found new friends cnd feel thot we ore now c port of this school with o greot trcrdition, ond we look forword to mony ho-opy yeors of tokinq port in its history. --Moureen Hissins, 3,{. aa
