Editorial Yes, another year has rolled around and another group of aspirant students have almost completed their efforts in the halls of London Normal School. lVe were guided to go there by a smouldering spark of desire to be a teacherfa spark which the masters have so fanned that it now burns brightly. Let us see that this spark does not smoulder, smoke, and die out, but let us at all times be keen and alert to apply what we were taught. This has been one of the most pleasant years of our lives and it now almost lies behind us. As we leave it now, it will be one mingled with feelings of both joy and regret. XYe are sorry that the time has come when all good friends must part. Soon we will be scattered over a wide area far from one another, but we hope the seeds of friendship, sown at London Normal, shall remain firm and steadfast. DONALD SQYIRE. Editor. Principa1's Message To THE CI.Ass OF 194445:- Some of your grandmothers and grandfathers passed through this Normal School in its early days. That you are able to stand on their shoulders to-day was made possible by their pioneer labours in teaching. They were individu- alists in their work, you begin as a member of a professional organization. They were inclined to be more arbitrary in government, you will be more democratic. Their aim was largely the imparting of knowledge, yours is the training of citizens. The curriculum to-day is much more child-centered than formerly. The home and the school both realize much more fully to-day the need of hearty and intelligent co-operation. Your grandmothers married and raised families and so we hope you will eventually. And we hope also that, because of your earnest teaching efforts, your grandchildren will be enabled to stand in turn upon your shoulders. DR. C. E. MARK. Page Thirleen

The Second Term Literary Society The second term Literary Society Executive conducted its lirst meeting on january 26, 1945. Each programme has a special theme. May we recall some of them to your memory?- Irving Berlin, Stephen Foster, St. Valentine, St. Patrick. Think back to the stories told, in their own inimitable style, by Edythe Percy, Betty Thompson, Margaret Knowles and Mar- garet Bell. Remember how we discovered the excellent Literary talent when each Form contributed a love parody on a popular song at the St. Valentine's meeting? Another afternoon was made interesting by Mrs. Calvert's illustrated lecture on Glimpses of Nature through the Eye of the Camera. Our Hnal programme of Truth or Consequence displayed the talent of both the students and members of the staft. This amusing entertainment was conducted by Betty Thompson. When the world was saddened on April 12, by the passing of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a memorial was arranged by Form III, under the direction of Mabel Morgan. Throughout the year we have been very grateful to Muriel Rogers for her kind co- operation as pianist. Although this is not a complete record of this term's programmes, we hope that it will serve as a reminder of the pleasant hours spent in Literary Society meetings on Friday after- noons.
