His belly was full and his eyes were all red, For he was slightly thick in the head. He danced and he sang till the wee hours of dawn. And finally collapsed on his bed with a yawn, But some New Year's day came and poor mouse felt dismal. His head how it throbbed as he gulped Pepto Bismal. He moaned and he groaned while in misery he sat. And thought he would rather be caught by' he cat. So think of poor mouse as New Year.'s draws near. And please take it easy when sampling the cheer, New Years Fears . BY CARLEEN DESJARDINE Grade 8 J.A.D. McCurdy As the days so swiftly wander by, I sit at home and wonder why, Why the new year must come to an end, It was as close to me as a friend, We never argued or had a fight, He was my friend my hearts delight. Together we went through thick and thin, I was very sad when the next year would begin. But now we count down from the number 10 As the year 1977 comes to an end We go to the pasture and open the gate And welcome the year 1978. William Hoover received a membership pin.
