SUSAN AND THE ELF
—HIGHLY COMMENDED— At this time everything is gay, As brighter grows the world each day, For Susan Spring Is here. Above the ground, flowers are. peeping, And from the white clouds comes creeping The sun, through the sky clear.
The birds give forth their joyous song, Which brightens this sad world along, ! For Susan Spring is here. And on the spring breeze come straying, The noisy bleats of lambs playing In the green fields quite near. —2 marks to Cousin Raynor Huffadine V.A.C. (12), 439 Tweed street. . —HIGHLY COMMENDED— Susan Spring Was a bright young thing, And she scared Jack Frost away. Everyone is glad That he’s gone, not sad, For there’s now more light of day. Each year she brings Many lovely things Like tuis and daffodils While folks come out With a laugh and shout To play on the grass-covered hills.
—2 marks to Cousin Albert Moore (12), 57 St. Andrew street.
—HIGHLY COMMENDED— Soon will the glorious Spring
beauties come, Soon .will the green willow buds break and swell, Soon will we have the golden daffo-
dils, And white and purple violets with
' sweet smell. The lovely lilac with sweet fragrance will blow.
—2 marks to Cousin Pat Henderson (14), Waikana, Gore, Ferndale R.D.
