L Ava J A .. Jlly Q!W7? L Page T To the Class of 1940-41 CMOUR year at Normal School has been a memorable one, a year in which our Empire has been engaged almost singlefhanded in the most titanic and destructive war of all time. It has been an anxious and a trying year for all, realizing as we do, that the sinister forces of the enemy are threatening all those things in life which we prize most highly. You will long remember the feeling of relief you experienced on many critical mornings when the watchman from the tower announced by radio or in headlines, All5s well. You will never forget the thrills of pride that came to all Britons, from time to time, at news of glorious exploits on the sea or in the air. Along with your compatriots overf seas you carried on with thumbs upf, and with a staunch faith in the future. Aims and purposes, principles and skills had to be mastered. This was your job. A year such as this cannot but have brought us a valuable discipline. lt should produce a new scale of values, helping us to place first things first. We should have a better appreciation of priceless rights and privileges which we had formerly taken for granted. Freedom is a birthright of the Briton but it needs to be jealously guarded and defended. We have had a good lesson in facing disappointment and disaster with courage and resolution. We should also have learned that one cannot live the good life in a social vacuum, progress, as well as safety, depends upon cofoperation. These life lessons must prove invaluable equipment for you as teachers. The Normal School Staff are concerned not so much that you have learned certain facts or that you have acquired certain devices or tricks of the profession, but rather that you have clearly grasped the importance of training good citizens in the miniature society of your school. We do covet for you the mastery of those general principles that will make your work purposeful and intelligent. We could wish for you that you may not lose those line enthusiasms which so many of you revealed in your student days, that you may find no occasion for lowering standards or abandoning ideals, that you may be happy in your work and may take legitimate pride in your profession as the finest of the arts, as the highest of the sciences, and as making the most practical contribution to nation building. We are glad to number you among our alumni and shall be most interested to hear of your whereabouts and of your continued successes. C. E. MARK. LUG M. 'A -s - .'. '-', . X. , 1 x- . ..

Its members have revealed at one time or another all the social and academic qualifications of the successful teacher. Many times during a visit to a practicefschool we have heard praise of other students' work. Often the centre of interest in the classroom, a mural, a display of art or constructionfwork, was found, upon enquiry, to have been done upon the Wednesday or Thursday afternoon of a preceding week. Not only did the students Cas we were fondly known to practicefteachers and their pupilsj produce fine work, worthy of excellent marks, they succeeded in leaving with the practicefteacher an impression of enthusiasm and capability, with the children an atmosphere of friendliness and cofoperation. Many a ustudentf' walking down the street after schoolfhours has been pleasantly surprised to meet with a cheery greeting from children whom he had taught in a practicefschool some time before. Practicefteaching, however, important though it was, represented only one phase of studentflife. The Normalites were equally successful in their social relations within and without the school. The everfpresent spirit of friendliness was most noticeable ubetween periods, as the classes met in the corridors for a few moments relaxation before a new lecture. After school' hours, or during spare periods the students might be found in the library. Here industry and cofoperation abounded, as the teachersfinftraining enf thusiastically prepared their own lessons or solved the difficulties of some fellow' student. Reprimands and infractions of rules were few and far between. The atmosphere was one of friendliness rather than of discipline. The response to such afterfhours activities as Miss Prendergast's social evening and the school parties was wholefhearted and enthusiastic. Despite their industry the L'41's are not to be imagined as a group of soberffaced, pedantic young schoolfteachers. They often laughed, indeed, they were not above playing a joke upon the masters who, in turn, seldom failed to flavour their lectures with a touch of humour. Nor was the students' sense of humour forthcoming only when the ioke was upon someone else. lt always turned up in time to save the most serious of situationsg disputes between the students were very few, little sympathy was shown the person who carried a grudge. Talent revealed itself constantly throughout the year, in music. vocal and instrumental, in oratory, in art. Originality was the kevfnote of work prof duced in the Normal School. Not least important was a talent for leadership of community activities displayed by those who organized such school activities as the operetta, the banquet, and the social evenings. Punctuality, honesty, tolerance, cheerfulness, the enquiring mindg all these qualities were displayed by this year's Normalites. 'Twould, of course, be gross exaggeration to claim that each student possessed all these line qualities, but each and every one of these attributes was well represented in the student body as a whole. May the clase of '41 find their years of teaching as enjoyable, as profitable, as successful as they have found this year in the London Normal School' Pige E glir In 3 -4 9' Q 3 - A 4 -Q A ,,...

Who can that he over by the windows, skilf fully trueing up a turning on the lathe? As our eyes become accustomed to looking through a sus' pension of sawdust we discern, not one of the young men, but Miss Prendergast, putting a satinf like finish upon another of her Indian Clubs. Fascinated by the dizzy spinning of the lathe. we are slow to detect the smell of burning wood from the opposite end of the shop. Our first impulse is to shout fire! and run, or perhaps on second thought, to run and then, once safely out' side, devote our undivided attention to shouting. Following our noses, we trace the acrid odour of smoke to a corner in which one of the young ladies, blissfully lost to all the busy world about her, calmly sits burning designs upon a handsome pair of bockfends. Who is that entangled in a mesh of-what is itgfence wire? No. not wire, must befOh, of course, it's reed! Basketfweaving. How comf plicated it looks. john. however, seems to experience no difficulty in doing it. Perhaps we should not watch, we seem to make him nervous. Why are so many persons working quietly at tl'e tables? Oh, blank bocks. Wouldn't scme of our students make excellent bookhinders? Book' binding though, is not their only talent. Lcok at Phyllisf over there among the paintfcans. When she finishes that Dutch Girl she'll have an entire set of enamelled cutfouts, to he used in teaching socialfstudies. Bill Manning planned a coffeeftable-wonder if he'll ever get it finished. Edwin made a picture frameg it kept us all guessing for quite some time, but he finally told us what it was. What's that? You're stuck! Oh yes, that's shellac, it is rather sticky. Poor lean, she's shelf lacked that hectograph frame a dozen times, at the very least. She always comes back finding it's caught someoneg so far it's always been a girl, but she keeps on hoping-. It can't be 12.15l We've just come. Weflflfl of course we really have been quite some time- we were so interested. We certainly must thank Mr. Hagerman for opening the manualftraining room on Saturday mornings. Remember what he says about manualftraining? It is a special function of the industrial arts to furnish experiences developing certain traits of character, habits of thought, points of view and attitudes which other school subjects corrmonly neglect. They Bt the individual through his experiences to be more use' ful as a producer and more appreciative, intelligent and happy as a consuirerf' Page Tuuenty-Four Ping-Pong HAT, no pingfpong? Why that's my favourite game. Everyone plays ping- pong! You don't play? We could teach you in no timelu Such were the remarks circulating about the corridors of the Nornial School during its first pingfpongless term. Everyone liked to play, hut the Normal School possessed no table, no bats, not even a single small. inexpensive pingfpong hall. However, such an enterprising group as the class of '41 would not quietly pass the year in wishful thinking. Two enthusiasists, Messrs. Neufeld and Patton, put their respective heads to' gether and drew up plans for a pingfpong table. For some time they measured, sawed, hamniered and assembled. Their efforts brought results. A fine pingf pong table made its appearance. Indeed, so enthusiastically was it received that Mr, Patton and Mr. Neufeld found it almost impossible to enjoy a single game at their own table. Not only did the experts play, newcomers tried their hand. Since the day on which it made its first appearance on the third floor the pingfpong table has had never an idle monient. JACK LOGIE, Puppet Class I NDER Miss Emery's capable guidance the Saturday morning puppet classes proved to be one of the most interesting projects of the year. With clay to the right of them, paste to the left of them, paintfpots in front and nothing be' hind them, the valiant twenty marched bravely into the mysteries of puppetry. Lo and behold! From lumps of sticky clay emerged a goldenfhaired Cinderella and her handsome prince, a lovable ,lack and a terrifying ogre, a greenfeyed Rumpelf stiltskin and a dozen other fairyfbook folk. Looking at them, one would never suspect the pathetic results of the puppeteers' first attempts. Cbins and noses vied for the position of honour in the centre of the faceg watery eyes ran limpidly under the bridge of many a nose as the clay became more and more wet and sticky, and as for ears Y- one would slide up until it lsecame a bump of knowledge while the other descended to the position of a second Adam's apple. However, Miss Emery skilfully gave such misshapen cranium a push here and a pull there, and each student completed a puppet which would do credit to the most experienced of puppeteers.

CUR ACTIVITIES: Each Tuesday at 1.00 p.m. the Normal School auditorium took on an air of reverence and solemf nity, for within its four walls several Normal School students met for a halffhour of quiet worf ship. In addition to these weekly gatherings, the members met twice in the term for a few hours skating at the arena. A scavenger hunt climaxed the term's social acitivities. For all these funcf tions we are indebted to those who so willingly addressed the meetings, to Mr. and Mrs. McLeod who so kindly opened their home, The Acoustif con, to serve as a gathering place. To the future Normal School Fellowships we pass the torch-be yours to hold it high. We sincerely wish you all the happiness Fellowship brings. In God we trust. ALEX. DUBS. The Rhythm 13.-and EMEMBER the enthusiastic ovation that arose from the student audience during the Literary Society's musical tour? That over' whelming applause was in honour of the rhythm band. Three short weeks before its debut the rhythm band had been only a figment of a few fertile imaginations. When an unexpected vacf ancy of ten empty minutes materialized in the midst of an otherwise wellffilled programme, Miss Park and Mr. Dubs rose to the occasion. Under their expert guidance grew an orchestra of fifteen members. From busy days crowded with assign' ments, examinations and practicefteaching they snatched precious moments of bandfpractice. Tschaikowsky and Von Suppe might feel honoured indeed to have had their works presented by the rhythm band upon this most memorable of Literary programmes. PHYLLIS FRENCH. Natural Science Club O the citizens of London South the two words Normal School conjure up visions of a horde of young men and womenwthe former conf spicuously outnumbered by the latter-swarming over the land, denuding trees and blocking traffic. These young people represent the Normal School Natural Science Club which, under the direction of Doctor Hofferd, was formed with three ends in view: To become acquainted with plants and trees, to recognize birds and animals, and to visit industrial plants in and about the City of London, The clubs first unit of work was conducted in the Normal School garden. Stepping warily to avoid wetting their feet in the morning grass the little groups of thirty trod courageously out to explore the mysteries of flora and fauna. After varying numbers of unsuccessful attempts each vegetable and plant was properly pigeon-holed. Duly equipped with a treefbook, a pocket' knife and a compass, the intrepid thirty next plungf ed into the forests of London South. V Each strange new tree in the wilds of Ridout Street and Marley Place was. after an industrious thumbing of pages, definitely identified as some one of thirty different species. After Doctor Hofferd had obligingly furnished the correct name of each specimen the Normalites strolled back to school precisely on time for one class, if not for another. Indeed, so enthused did they become in their work that the good citizens of London South must have mistaken their expressions of eager inf terest for the crafty look of the confirmed treef stealer, for as the little group made its way down Ridout South on a fine autuinnal afternoon, it was halted by a police car and summarily ordered back to the confines of the Normal School. There the students heard a very profitable lecture by fire' chief McRonald upon the duties of teachers in regard to fire prevention. This was followed by a demonstration in which Miss Marguerite Pratten, armed with a large extinguisher. bravely dis' couraged a small fire which raged upon the gravel walk at the rear of the school. Later in the season the club members observed the stars through the school telescope, After a few clear evenings the sky became cloudy, and their activities were restrained to making observaf tions of a neighbouring streetflamp. Notable among the club's activities was a visit to the new CocafCola plant. There each step in the production of the beverage was demonf strated, from the mixing of ingredients to the bottling of the finished product. An educational movingfpicture ended the tour. A record of the club's activities was kept hy all members in a series of small booklets. In this way each student completed the term with a small set of volumes forming an encyclopedeia of science and naturefstudy. Thus the Natural Science Club continued its activities throughout the year, a standing example of the value of learning, to quote its leader, By doing, and not by stuff and store. Page Tiventvfiie Happy-Go-Lucky Form IV. WE students of Form IV. have acquired a rather remarkable reputation. Members of our group have been complimented upon their sunny smiles, their clear, ringing voices and their silvery laughter. Moreover, all our teachers have agreed that we obviously realize the important part that pupil activity plays in the learning process. Whenever some unexpected sound shatters the studious calm of the atmosphere, the remark is usually forthcoming, 'iOh! that is just Form IV. changing classes. It never fails to happen, that after we have perseveringly ascended flight after flight of stairs, and cheerfully presented ourselves, for Home Economics, we are greeted with Form IV. you should be down in the Manual Training Depart' ment. This chilly reception does not dampen our enthusiasm. We merely retrace our steps down the aforementioned stairs. When, by this time somewhat tardy, we tinally reach the proper classroom, we refadjust our smiles, and do not even murmur when our instructor weaiily observes, uForm IV., you're late again! NO matter what our assignments be, no matter how our lessons go, no matter if we're up when we should be down, we gaily smile and make reply We learn by doing. Tofmorrow is another day. SISTER ST. JOHN. Knitting Yarn NOW decrease two stitches at both ends of each needle every other row and slip the liftyfseventh stitch! With these encouraging words from Miss Davidson I recommence my untangling task. Knit one, purl one,-knit one, purl one,- Simple. Oops, spoke too soon again! How did that knot get there? Where shall I put the third needle? And where's my ball of yarn? Oh horrors-the cat looks more like a walking floor' mop than a fourflegged animal! Well here goes- kitty, kitty, kitty, here puss! Ah, got you! Now hold still-nice pussy-knots, knots, knots,- round this leg, over the footfstool, round the table, under the sofa-just like following a snake's trail.- Well, all found, now to get my feet free-. What's that I smell-coffee-and doughnuts? Goodbye to knitting-there's always to' morrow! ALEX. DUBS. Page TwentyfSix The Banquet Navy's Here! That was the theme of our banquet on February 24, and what a rollicking, jolly time we had! At 6.30 laughing groups of students proceeded to the gymnasium, which was gaily decked out in red, white and blue, with flags, ship's anchors and ensigns placed here and there. After a sumptuous meal, pref pared and served under the capable direction of Miss Davidson, the whole group entered heartily into the peppy HNavy Sing Song, led by Miss Dobbyn. Miss Imlay, acting as toastmaster, took charge of the programme which consisted of toasts by Miss Margaret M. Smith, Miss Humphries, and Mr. Wm, Manning, supplemented by a variety of dances and musical numbers. The guests from Stratford were given a hearty reception by the students. Our guest speaker, Lieut. John R. Hunter. R.O.N.V.R., gave to us a challenge, that we, as teachers, see that the boys receive their due appreciation when they return from Over There. For the remainder of our entertainment we adjourned to the Music Room where games and dancing were enjoyed. All too soon the evening slipped by and it was with reluctance that we bade each other 'LBon Voyage and left for home. DORIS IMLAY.

F., Biteaaag EDITORIAL MNSPIRATION shall flow from the unprogressive teacher not a whit more quickly than blood from the proverbial turnip. Very lifefblood of teaching though it be, its wellfsprings soon run dry in a teacher who, like the vegetable, has remained since graduation day in the dark dankness of an educational cellar. To us, june, 1941, means graduation. By midfsummer we shall be qualif lied teachers. What then? ls our education finished? Possibly, if we are content to remain indefinitely in the cellar, making no further progress, developf ing no more character than the aforementioned turnip, but if we are to be teachers in the true meaning of the title- a title of which we may well bc proudfthen our education has scarcely begun. The teacher's task is the most important in the social systemessthe making of men and women, tofmorrow's citizens. This duty we can not fully carry out until we have ourselves become men and women of character. Before we can give the children the benefits of the cultural background which the Canaf dians of tofmorrow must have, we must procure that background for ourselves. In that, due to our years, if not to lack of opportunity or inclination, most of us find ourselves woefully deficient. How shall we obtain this background? By taking advantage of every hour, every opportunity, to improve ourselves. We must acquire at least the fundamentals of the arts, not only of music and painting, but of writing, printf ing, architecture and all the other skills which we fail to observe simply because they so constantly surround us. We must learn enough of their processes to appreciate the work which lies behind them, we must become familiar enough with them to recognize and appreciate their beauty wherever it occurs-sein the cities laid out around us, in the buildings in which we live and work, in the books we read, in every sound we hear. Finally we must perceive the binding tie between Nature and Man and all the Arts, the common key of beauty. When we have found this we shall know the joy of living, and this we shall transmit to our children, not by specific words or lessons, but through the very atmosphere which we create. The more we learn, the more pathetic our small amount of knowledge appears. We must continue learning, the moment we pause rigor morris begins. As long as we ourselves continue to follow knowledge even as little children, we shall know the difficulties of the strange and unfamiliar, and through solving our own difiiculties we shall acquire an instinct in solving those of the children. As long as we continue to grow, so long shall we increase our capacity to serve, and in the end we may find ourselves worthy to say with the Teacher whose words have echoed down two thousand years: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. Page Twenty-Eight Castles in the Air QDNCE I lay on the cool green grass, watching with wistful eyes the last faint curl of smoke as a ship left the harbour. Soon the world about me was completely blotted out: I was breathing the gay, carefree atmosphere of an ocean liner, drinking in the blueness of sunny Italian skies, and delighting in the mystic strangeness of the land of Arabian Nights. What a joy it is to transport ourselves in mind and spirit into any place or time we may desire! How exultant must the Creator have been when He took from the glass this divine blessing to bestow upon man. Thousands of people would find the moulding hand of Life too cruel and relentless, were it not for this saving gift of Fancy which enables them to exclude from the pat' tern of life all the drab and ugly things that sometimes make it unbearable. Coleridge found life in a misfit world intolerable when he was not living in his own world of strange and beautiful fancies. The power to dream dreams, more than a source of pleasure, has been the motive force behind all the great things men have done. The boy Columbus, standing in the harbour at Genoa, dreamed a dream, and lo, the great American continent spread out before him! Michelangelo's immortal vision of the creation, depicted in masterfstrokes upon the wet plaster of a chapel ceiling in Rome, has thrilled succeeding generations as they knelt, eyes heavenward. The picture brought before her eyes by a report on conditions of child labour in mines and factories was immortalized by Mrs. Browning in her piercing uCry of the Children. Down through the ages man's noblest accomplishments have found origin in his dreams. The whole of tofday is a part of yesterdays fancy, tofmorrow is the imagination of tofday. The progress of the human race would come to a complete standstill if man were suddenly deprived of this power to build castles in the air. The man who has not the power to dream is lacking in imagination of any kind, and without imagination what are we better than sheep or goats, that nourish a blind life within the brain? Because we have never dreamed of anything better we remain, even as sheep, content with the utter monotony of our daily routine, our cumbersome daily duties. Because we have never dreamed of anything better, we are seldom capable of anything better. We lack the originality or fire that makes for characterg we are incapable of the inspiration that develops the artsg our lives cannot even be enriched by the fruits of another's fancy, if we in ourselves lack the power of appreciating it. Unhappy indeed is the man to whom the building of castles in the air has been denied. PATRICIA DeLAURIER. In the Midst of the Maddening Crowd MN the midst of the everfswelling crowd, I continue my unsuccessful attempt to snake my way to the fore. Ah! An opening looms ahead and I gain a few inches. My, that certainly WAS a close shave. Only another fraction of a millimetre, well a centimetre anyway and I ............ They must be closing in from the outside now. What pressure! Enough to cramp the proverbial sardine! Ouch! Still wincing and playing Small as Possible, another adroit squirm leaves me weaving, a few precious inches nearer my goal. As it nears, I pull myself together, strain my nerves. All ready, taut to the snapping point, and forward heave! Success at least. It is now possible to see that there are no new notices on the bulletin board. MARIQN BICE, Page Twenty N The Story of Sarnia QE HE first immigration inspection in Canadian history took place upon a small island in the St. Clair River opposite the present location of Sarnia. Indians were not allowed to cross the river until given permission to do so by means of smokefsignals from the opposite bank. There have been many methods of crossing the river since the days of the Indians. The first public ferry, a sailboat subject to the whims of wind and current was replaced by a ferry which swung by cable from an anchored buoy. Since the ferry was thus prevented from drifting downstream it was propelled across the river by the force of the current. Soon a new type of ferry began to operate down the river where the curf rent was not so strong. This was propelled with a paddlewheel turned by a mule on a treadmill. In turn came the fourfmulefpower and the fourfhorsefpower ferries, to be replaced by the steamboat. The steamboats, used as ferries at Sarnia while sailboats were still common on the lakes, were improved and changed with the years until the opening of the Bluewater Bridge in 1938. The two arms of steel jutting out from both sides of the river were a spectacular sight as they slowly grew together to form the eight hundred and seventyfone foot cantilever arch of this impressive new bridge. The St. Clair tunnel, opened in 1891, was built by Joseph Hobson, an engineer born near Guelph, Ontario. This tunnel was the first of its kind in the world, built as it was under water. It was built through the clay beneath the river. The men worked behind a heavy shield which was pushed forward under great pressure as the earth in front of it was removed through doors in the shield. There is yet another link between Canada and the United States at this point. It is not so well known as the others but is vitally important. Sarnia is a station on a very large and important transportation system which is one of the most extensive in the United States. It runs through many states from the Mexico to the Canadian border, and to many cities, among which Sarnia is not the least important. It has trunk lines, branch lines, stations, switches and storage space, yet the stranger would drive past the spot where this line enters Canada without recognizing it. He would see only the back of what appears to be a billfboard. However, if he were on the river he would see this sign, PIPELINE, DC NOT ANCHOR. This system is the pipeline network through which the Imperial Cil Refinery receives much of its crude oil. A carload of crude oil can be put in the line in California, pass through many states, along trunk lines and branches, be stored for some time and then be delivered in Sarnia. What is more, it can be proved the same oil that entered the line in California. Sarnia is closely linked with her neighbour across the border and these bonds of common interest, repeated countless times along the border, make for that international friendship which permits our long unfortified boundary with the United States. ,IEAN MCRITCHIE. Page 'Tlmty The Baldoon Mystery JIBALDOON, a settlement founded in 1804 by Lord Selkirk on the banks of the Chenal Ecarte in the County of Kent, Upper Canada. was named after a village in the Highlands of Scotland. In 1803 Selkirk acquired about nine hundred and fifty acres here and in May, 1804, he sent out a party of over one hundred Highland emigrants from Scotland to settle this land and develop it. The party reached the Baldoon Farm early in September, 1304, and for a time suffered severely from malarial fevers. It has been said that fortyftwo of the original settlers died in the first year. The survivors, however, adjusted themselves to the local conditions and prospered. The Baldoon settlement is now a populous district of wealthy farmers and fruit growers who till the rich land that is known as the garden of Ontario. They have built their farm homes along the banks of the Chenal Ecarte, locally known as the Snye River, with a most pleasing view of Walpole lsland's wild and beautiful virgin woods across the channel. The Blue Water Highway, designated No. 40, connects the district of the Baldoon with every part of Michigan and Southern Ontario. Through the Snye River steamers pass to Wallaceburg, a thriving industrial town and port of call. john T. McDonald, son of a Selkirk settler, bought a piece of land which had been desired by a neighbour. Soon the poles of the barn fell in, nearly killing his daughters as they husked corn. Musket balls pierced all the windf ows and passed silently through the wooden panels which replaced the glass. Fires started mysteriously about the farm, in locked rooms and closets. The family finally moved away but, persecution following them, they soon returned. One incident had pointed towards the old woman who lived in a log house nearby. She had asked the McDonalds to make her a rug and as long as they worked for her they rested in peace. A travelling Methodist minister told John McDonald of a doctor in Walsingham Township, Norfolk County, who had a daughter possessing second sight. She lived about one hundred miles away across almost impenetrable country but the two men set out on horseback to consult her. The remedy was traditional. Cast a silver bullet and look for a strange goose with a black head and black wing markings that consorts with your flock. Shoot this goose with the silver bullet and the person responsible for your troubles will show the same injury. When McDonald had returned home and the silver bullet had found its mark in the wing of the goose he went in search of the woman of the log house. Her arm was broken and she died shortly afterwards. This marked the end of the McDonald's persecution. The full story has been published in pamphlet form by Neil T. McDonald and in the appendix are the depositions of some twentyffive eyewitnesses, whose stories are sufficiently similar to vouch for their authenticity. A hundred years passed and a second house built by the McDonalds burned down on the eve of the centennial of the Baldoon mystery. All that now remains is a neglected cemetery, about one hundred yards from the site of the house, in which are many white gravestones erected above the original Baldoon settlers. Other than this there is only a tradition, almost legendary, which has been incorporated in the history of Kent County, and is carried on as the blue waters of the Chenal Ecarte flow on in their deep, treachf erous channel, carrying with them the mysteries of the Baldoon. WINFRED G. BENEDICT. Page Thirty Musical Moments HEODUCATICNISTS have finally come to realize the truth of the words! Principals, trustees and ratepayers have been given proof that music is 11Ot just a frill but an important factor in the individual and social growth of the youth who plays, sings, or intelligently listens. Fortunate is the school with a talented teacher who can develop in her pupils a love of music that will last throughout life. The musical activities of the London Normal School in 194041 exemplify music as it should occur in every public school. The Friday afternoon Literary programmes often featured vocal and instrumental solos, duets, trios and that Hbuilderfup of runfdown spiritsf' community singing. The operetta The Ghost of Lollypop Bay directed by our music master, Mr. Wheeler, ably assist' ed by Miss Cahan and Miss Davidson, was the musical highlight of the year. Careful organization and intensive rehearsal were required before it could finally be presented. The story, the acting and the joyous music could not fail to stir the large audience who promptly declared the operetta most enter' taining. The choral singing on Tuesday mornings, directed by Miss Moore, com' menced the day with a shower of sunshine. A 'LMusical Tour presented by Miss Moore featured the debut of the rhythm band. We are deeply indebted to all those who in any way took part in musical activities throughout the year. We cannot fail to notice that in these fastfmoving days it is of prime im' portance to keep Canada singing. While Canada hghts to save democracy, let us teach her children to smile, to understand, to sing. ETNA CI-IIESA. In Memoriam I stood before the class alone, time had ceased to be. A sea of faces swam before my eyes, My voice was gone-my hands were cold. Could that knocking be my heart? I must beginel have to start Oh! surely the class will do its part. I cleared my throat, and in a voice quite foreign to my ears I squeaked- How many little boys and girls? What have I said! The manual simply frowned on that. I'll try again-L'Does anyone in the class?-eWill someone tell me?' Frantically I wrung my hands, the chalk broke in my grasp. In cold despair I sank into the teacher's chair And gasped- Class, take your books and read. My hopes lay shattered: Defeat was mine.
