Lately . our school has been
taking part in a Red Cross

collected funds in different
ways to help this cause. Mr.
Crawford's room has raised
Shaddick's
$40.:50. and Mrs.

Robertson
Roun .up
One of the members (t the
Board of Directors. `ot' the
orphanage was Visiting with the
head . mistress, and when he
heard the childrens' -plans he
• decidedto,•,,, give an Easter
present to the orphans.
It was a very good play and
must have taken a long time to •
organize it.
Following the play, • the
Grade 7 choir, directed by Mrs.
Shaddick;.- sang "When I Survey
The Wandrdus• ro
Cross" .and
"Jesus . Keep,. Me Near the
Coss".
SOCCER
The difference between the
girls. playing soccer and • the
boys' game is funny. The boys
race around, knocking every
one, down .and kicking. each
other, instead of theball;, but
,the. girls do just_ e opposite. If
they kick the ball and hit
someone; they stop 'the game
and ask if she's' okay. When a
girl accidentally trips, they stop
again, to see if -she' is all right.
The, girls' soccer game should
be...called Powder Puff Soccer,
and'the boys' lame of soccer
called •Stone Age.
OUR PLAYGROUNDS
..ARE WAKING UP
,,Out in the school yard of the
rippled junior- wing, there-r,areLaiiany
children running,. hollering and
having, lots of • fun on the
,playground equipment. :'This

work out, such as the bumble,
tee 'bars, swings and slides. You
name it, we've got it out there.
... _ ,Noiv' that spring is -here; the
senior wing too, is playing
soccer, basketball and baseball.
'Some of the girls are cq.inpeting
in s,kippi,ng.'. We're really getting
active after the long winter!
.Kingsbridge
ASSEMBLY
,,On April 8, Mr: Moore's
room put on a play for Easter.
It was all -„about some orphans
in an orphanage: The older ones
tried to spend their money on
the •younger children, for Easter'
(treats,• but the younger ones
overheard' what they were
saying and planned to take the
money until, after Easter and
then' put it back.
One day the oldest boy came
home and • found that the
money was missing and told the
,bead„', mistress. Then • the
youngest one carne in with the
money.
