And now another graduating class — the class of ' 46 — is about to take its place in the ranks of the teaching profession. It is with high hopes that we look forward to our new duties as teachers, for we know that we do not face the future alone. Before us the traditions of all the former classes urge us to expend our every effort to carry on the never-ending tasks which inevitably fall to the lot of every teacher. Behind us a year of training and experiment gives us a feeling of eagerness; a desire to meet and to the best of our ability to deal with the situations that will arise. The first class to graduate since the end of a world-wide conflagration such as the one just ended confronts us with a task unparalleled before. This is a time of reconversion. Children who have been brought up to tales of war and its aftermath will be tomorrow ' s Canada. Whose respon- sibility will it be, if not that of the children of today, to ensure a real and lasting peace? And who will guide this future Canada of ours if not the teachers working with the parents? A sense of responsibility heretofore undreamed of goes with us as we set out upon our teaching career. It is not enough to teach the Three R ' s and consider that we have done our part. Ours is a much deeper responsibility. Into the minds of our young charges we must inculcate the precepts of good citizenship and the habits of clear thinking. Even in our brief experience we have already realized how much influence the teacher ' s example has on the pupils. Let us never forget that important fact, and always be personal ex- amples of fairness and dignity. Our reward will be in the feeling of satisfaction which we derive from a duty well done. May our motto, Docendo Discimus, never cease to function for us. And with Tennyson, may we decide: How dull it is to pause, to make an end, To rust unburnish ' d, not to shine in use! As tho ' to breathe were life. LAUREL NEWELL. Page Sixteen
