who each received a prize or a foun-

tain pen. The various clues and what they

represented in parentheses, are as follow; Up on the bill where water is stored, To wash my lady and my lord. Do not tarry do not fear. For ’tis strong and ’tis not hid. •

(Reservoir on Mount). Out into water blue and bright. People come and go day and night Close to a sentinel big and high. Where wind doth blow and sigh.

(Mount wharf). To the brigade of bandages and

splints From whom help is free and handy, Come people from far and wide. To their little shed on Oceanside (First aid station on ocean beach). This is where they dip and twirl, Where the Digger brings his girl, To the strains of tra la la, And those of da de da. (R.S.A. hall). Away to the pebble on the beach, Not so big and not so small, Though the tide be high or low, This place you can always reach. (Rock near blowhole). Rack to the days of club and bearskin, Back to the home where he lived

with his kin, Bare and deep and dark and dim, With grass and fern around the rim

(Cave in Mount Drury). Here I have buckets and spades, All shapes and sizes and grades, For campers that are in the dark. I have a lantern to light the dark. (Edwards’ hardware shop). Go to the beginning a.nd the end, Of a race that is never run, Where the finish is a cheer. And the start a gun. (Yacht Club pavilion). Out about and up and down. There’s a place of good renown, Where something’s been put and something taken,

Where if you’re early you see the sun awaken. (Terrace on Mount Drury). Near the place they shove and shuffle, Where they push you something uffle, Near the little hole so old, Where you do your half dollar cold. (Carnival area).
