—VERY HIGHLY COMMENDED— Snow-clad guardians, Of beauties untold, Maybe you’re hiding A vein of rich gold. Up near your rugged peaks A white glacier flows; Where moAitaineers climb, An icy wind blows. Far in the distance, I gaze all day long; ; And wish I could climb you, My heart full of song. —3 marks to Cousin Vera Lake M.A.C., (15), Section 8, Glencoe R.D. —VERY HIGHLY COMMENDED— I love to see the mountains, On a frosty, winter day, They rear their snowy caps on high, But they are far away. When it comes a rainy morning, They are hidden from our sight. It is so dull without them, It almost seems like night. I’d love to spend a holiday, In the pure sweet mountain air. It makes us strong and healthy, And drives away dull care. —3 marks to Cousin Margaret Woods (12), South Hillend R.D., Winton. 1
