Poem As school ends for another year, The thoughts disappear. The building stands lookiIg so old and tired, It's a wonder that our school has not been fired. It longs to hear laughing in the halls; It wants to hear balls bouncing off the walls. The books on' the shelves are tined with dust. They say to themselves, "Be used we must!" Until one day they, hear the buses drive in, They stop all their bustle for school starts again. • ' By Tammy Kieffer BOYS' TRACK & FIELD TROPHIES at the Wingham Public School were won this year by Andy Armstrong, Bantam champion; Ken Devries, Andrew Mann and Rob MacKay,' tied for the Atom championship; Ryan Devell, Tyke champion, and Eric Deyell, trophies were presented during assembly.
