A SPLENDID RECORD
Rokeby Learns to Swim
Our swimming season is now over: Fifteen children have learned to swim. Two could swim at the beginning of the year, and there are only three out of the 20 who are allowed to swim who cannot swim.
I think our school has done very well at swimming this year. We have five children with learn-to-swim certificates, six with 50 yards certificates, three with 250 yards certificates, and two (myself one) with 890 yards certificates. We swam in a pond about a mile and a half from school, and went in the school bus. —ZETA ZIEGLER, Rokeby. “IT WAS FUNNY” "Will He Put Water There?” One day a country boy was going to “town with us in the car, and as we were passing over the new overhead bridge at Styx, mother
explained that this was one of Mr Semple’s bridges. After thinking for, a few minutes the little boy asked, “When is Mr Semple going to put the water underneath it.” This really did happen, and we thought it very funny. —BEVERLEY AMYES, A. 8., L.8.H., Rangiora R.M.D. (Twenty points for Beverley.)
