SABRINA
Here is a highly enjoyable romantic comedy based on "Sabrina Fair”,
the successful play that is currently enjoying a long run on Broadway.
It’s a Cinderella story offering a delightful blend of comedy, romance,
and witty dialogue. Audrey Hepburn is completely charming and
believable as a chauffeur’s daughter who becomes romantically in
volved with two rich brothers, one a playboy, amusingly played, by
William Holden, and the other an austere business man played by
Humplirey Bogart. Also of interest is the fact that the three leading &
players are all Academy Award winners.

To-day marks the last day of school
for students all across Canada for the
year 1954. While looking back on the
past year, it comes to mind that this
is the last 'year in the old school.
What a sad thought to think that this
school will not know the steps of
school children walking in the halls!
Did it ever occur to anyone that this
school would be lonely after it is dis
carded for a new, shiny, sparkling
school?

Christmas of today is
from the festivities of
Solstice in pre-Christian
people of the Scandinavian countries
kindled fires to defy the Frost King;
drank great horns of mead and told
weird tales' of werewolves and the
valkyrie maidens,, who searched for
souls and conveyed them to Valhalla.
Those were the days when the
ancient Druids observed the season
with strange ceremonies in the roof
less temples of Stonehenge and Ave
bury in England, sacrificed white
bulls and worshipped mistletoe en
twined around oak.
There are no superstitions today so
fantastic as that in Norway where it
was once believed that those who
dared to go out into the winter dark
ness on Christmas night could see
through windows the people destined
to die during the coming year—sitting
headless in their chairs. The danger
of midnight cavorting in these days
was the dread Oskeneien, a cavalcade
of unblessed spirits, who tore through
the air trying feverishly to carry
away foolhardy adventurers.
rial treasurer and the annual interest

standing in this year’s Grade 13 ex
