To be both graceful and awkward And to have no worries- To be independent and carefree Was his ideal . This youth could work This youth could rest; As yet he had no path to follow, No one to make him conform And he was free. CANADA -by Janis McInnes Grade 12 For centuries it grew They came from everywhere To this land. It was spacious and free And it was home. They built and expanded; They cleared and planted To make this place Where they were to dwell - Beautiful . And thus it grew, as time passed, To be both industrious and cultured. This land we call home - Is a place of beauty. REMEMBRANCE DAY FIRST The first observance of Remembrance Day in the High School took place this year under the direction of Major E.E.
