London Normal School - Spectrum Yearbook (London, Ontario Canada)

Text from Pages 1 - 76 of the 1952 volume:

dedication the memory of his beloved Majesty King George VI, Whose qualities of courage, Faith and steadfastness Won for him The love, and confidence Of his subjects, the world over, The Students of London Normal School, With heartfelt sadness, Respectfully dedicate The Spectrum, 1952. PAX SECUM The heavy hand of Death in reaching down Has plucked a King from out our troubled sphere; Nobility his strength, his life sincere, Humanity his claim to long renown. The edifice of Freedom, slowly laid, Has lost a pillar from its crumbling wall — His choice, the stern demands of duty ' s ca ll, His self, expended in the choice he made. We shall not soon forget the lesson learned From him, who served along the way he trod, Who put his hand into the hand of God, Assured that darkest paths would be discerned. Rest be to him whose death we mourn so much Who walked a King, nor lost the common touch. — G. A. DOBRINDT. suggestions from the minister of education s during my long career in education I spent thirteen years in teacher-training, I know- very well the problems encountered by the young men and the young women in the Normal Schools of Ontario. Indeed, for more than thirty years I have visited Normal Schools once a year and have talked- with staffs and students about the trends in education. You who are now enrolled in the Normal Schools of this Province have been wise in your choice of a profession and fortunate in the conditions under which you commence your teaching careers, for teachers are scarce in Ontario and will be scarcer in the near future. This does not mean that you can be complacent about your chosen work. On the other hand, it means that you must give the best you have in energy, in scholarship, in technique, in such a way that you will make a great success of your classroom duties. Let me suggest that a motto for teachers during the present turmoil might very well be a Biblical expression — Hold fast that which is good . Do not adopt any change in educational methods, or any educational procedure, which has not been thoroughly proved to be beneficial. For example, there is no substitute for ability to speak and to write good English, nor is there any substitute for accurate skill in arithmetical computation. Your pupils must be taught to read well and to write well and they must also be taught to be good Canadian citizens who know what democracy means and who know what a privilege it is to be free people in a free country. For these fundamentals there are no substitutes and you really must, if you hope to succeed, devote a great deal of attention to the suggestions I have made. You will find, as the years go on, that there is no satisfaction so real and so lasting as that which comes from worthwhile achievement and that means that we must all work hard. Pupils in our schools like hard work, as you will soon find, and there is no danger in competition in schools. Surely boys and girls must learn to work hard and must learn to enjoy competition, because as soon as they leave school they encounter both and they must be prepared for active lives. If you see that your pupils are well prepared for the positions they occupy when they leave school, and, if you make sure that they have been taught loyalty to Queen and country as well as loyalty to God and to their parents, you will have rendered praiseworthy public service and you will have done a great deal to develop the Province of Ontario and the Dominion of Canada. My cordial good wishes go with you as you take up your new duties next September. W. J. DUNLOP, Minister of Education. on to the sea art of the District of Parry Sound in Northern Ontario I know well. Scattered through the area are many lakes, each with its own peculiar characteristics. One has crystal clear water with rocky shores rising precipitously to a great heigh t; one is dark and sluggish, deeply shadowed by pines and frequented only by overly-zealous fishermen; and one is really not a lake at all, merely a widening of a river into an overgrown pond fringed with weeds where black bass lurk. These and many others are tied to each other by a river known by the rhythmical Indian name Magnetawan. On occasion, I have sought out the sources of the stream and have discovered clear cool springs rising in the hills. Eventually, the lakes and their tributaries unite to form a great body of water flowing into Georgian Bay and on to the sea. As students your days have been spent on the waters of a relatively quiet lake. But soon as classroom teachers you will enter upon the full flood of your professional life. May you do so with zest and in a spirit of high adventure. With eager eyes, boys and girls in town and country are looking to you and your teaching for the vision and courage which may enable them, in turn, to launch themselves undaunted on the deeper currents of life. They must not look in vain. My best wishes go with you as you take up your responsibilities next September in the schools of Ontario. F. S. RIVERS DIRECTOR OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING. a message to the class of ' 52 rize fighters have a useful term. It is called leading with your chin . This year educa- tors seem to have led with their chins. For they have adopted a slogan, Education is everybody ' s business . Certainly, within recent weeks, almost everyone seems to have made the school system his business. On all sides the modern school has been lustily buffeted about. There are those who blame it for not teaching enough of manners and morality; there are others who blame it for usurping the place of the home, apparently for trying to teach too much of manners and morality. There are those who blame it for losing students because it failed to challenge and interest them; there are others who blame it for making work interesting instead oi making it arduous and drudging. There are those who blame it for ignoring the individual in the mass, and there are those who blame it for paying too much attention to the individual. There are those who blame it for neglecting the traditional core of fundamental skills, and there are those who blame it for failing to keep pace with the age of the electron. All this is healthy and right. It is right that those who pay the piper should call the tune. You are entering a job where you are the servants of the public. If your skin is too thin to bear the slings and arrows of public criticism, then I am afraid that teaching is not for you. And it is healthy that those who pay you should take a sharp interest in what you do. In one sense at least, education is only the tail upon the national dog — in the sense that it can move only as its owner wills it to move. So it will move further and faster when it is whisked with some irritation; not when it is wagged in mere amiability. It appears, then, that you are entering teaching at a time when what you do, or fail to do, is very much in the public eye. The public, your masters, will expect you to give their children those things which make life richer, without neglecting those things which are necessary if life is to go on at all. They will expect you to respect the right of every individual child to achieve his full stature as a person, without neglecting those limitations which the rights of all impose upon the rights of one. They will expect you to practise and to teach that all growth in freedom must be bought at a price; it must be bought in the hard coin of greater responsibility. Within these limitations, I hope that you will continue to explore new trails in your job. If sometimes the way seems hard and the criticism unjust, remember that you are in good com- pany. About twenty-five hundred years ago a certain teacher was accused of corrupting the youth of his time with new-fangled educational ideas. The name of this early progressive edu- cator was Socrates. F. C. BIEHL. a message from the clergy he Clergy who teach Religious guidance to the students of the London Normal School are very conscious of the honour and privilege which is theirs to meet with and teach the students week by week in their classes. They are convinced that if they have been able to render any effective service to the students who come to them, the time and effort which they have put forth is amply repaid. Having spent a year at the Normal School preparing yourselves for your chosen pro- fession, the clergy would like you to carry with you into your life work their sincere good wishes for a highly successful career. You are joining a great army of highly trained and unselfish public servants whose duty it is to guide and direct the mental, moral and physical welfare of the future citizens of this important Province of Ontario. It is our fervent hope that you will put your heart and soul into your work so that in years to come an increasing number of your students will rise up and call you blessed . As you go forth, you carry with you our prayer that Almighty God will abundantly bless you in your work. On behalf of the Clergy, Yours very sincerely, GEORGE W. MOORE. if . . . you will remember, early in the school year, you were asked to decide whether or not you wanted to have a Yearbook. The decision was unanimous and so you now have a copy of the 1952 Spectrum in your hands. A great deal of time and hard work was involved in selecting and getting into print a representative cross-section of the year ' s activities so that the main purpose of this book might be served. The purpose, of course, is that we might have something more tangible and permanent than a memory to recall the friends and events of our year. I don ' t believe it would be necessary to have you decide on the question of whether we have spent a successful year at London Normal. The decision, once again I am sure, would be unanimous. What has made it such a success? The answer lies within the covers of this book — approximately (250) students and teachers. In a relatively small group such as this, with common interests and aims, a spirit of friendship and harmony has existed that is hard to dupli- cate. Many friends have been made and experiences shared that we hope will long stay with us. However, this year would not be complete if we left with only memories of friends and events. We came here with a purpose, and I hope that we will all be successful in seeing it ful- filled. All of us have had some teaching experience and so we are familiar with the joys and the problems that it can bring. We have had an opportunity to see and to appreciate the respon- sibilities that rest with the teacher. But, when we enter our own class-rooms this fall, these joys, problems and responsibilities will become more real because they will be ours. In meeting these experiences of the teacher, and in all other endeavours, I would like to extend to everyone my best wishes for success in the years to come.

We have tried to make it a true representation of your year at London Normal School. Remember the first Literary Society, the Toronto trip, the Alumni dance, that first day of teaching? Many will, some will not, but as you read and reread this book in the future we hope it will bring to you, a laugh or perhaps a bit of sorrow. To the graduates of ' 52 and to the patient masters and instructors we present our Year- book as a diary of our too short year at London Normal School. May you cherish it as you have your year at Normal and may you remember through the years to come and the years that have passed, the friends once made. A picture, a word, may bring back a fond memory of friendships made at Normal and as we think of them perhaps they think of us and wonder what we are doing. However, we can always be sure in the assumption that they are holding aloft the lamp of learning, spreading its light to eager minds. THE EDITORS, JACK CULP, SUE SUTTON. to introduce I he student nodv Marilyn Cosens — Warwick Village Sec. Spectrum Staff Age 18 Ambition — See the world when her ship comes in. Saying — Oh Heavens. the teacher f wc work upon marble it will perish; if on brass, time will efface it; if we rear temples, they will crumble into dust; but if we work upon immortal minds and imbue them with prin- ciples, with the just fear of God and love of our fellow-men, we engrave on those tablets some- thing that will brighten all eternity. — Daniel Webster. We as teachers must remember that teaching is not merely the passing on of our own ideas — it is the kindling of minds. The teaching of vast amounts of knowledge to the child is fat- surpassed by our obligation to impress upon him his moral responsibilities. We must instill in him, a desire for knowledge, an adherence to truth because it is truth, and a love of God and man. DON PICKSTON, Form V. EDMUND G. ABKV London ted Ambition: B.A. in pharmacy.

Sister Mary Cabrini LONDON Sister Mary Piiilomene LONDON Frances T. Suske LONDON Samuel Sievertz LONDON education hc problem of education is not to teach men how to reach the stars, but to create men of strength and self control, who, w hen they have reached a goal, can act intelligently. The problem is not so much to teach men how to get rich, although that may be important, as how to use riches after they have been gained. The problem is not how to get great honour, place, or eminence, but to bear the responsibilities which such honour always carries along with it. Edu- cation seeks to develop resources and initiative in the individual — honesty, honour, and a vision of truth. It seeks to train leaders; it seeks also to lift the whole level of the human race to broader and clearer vision, to finer thinking and nobler appreciation. Man is the only creature of our earth, to whom the knowledge of good and evil, and the power to choose between them, has been granted. Only when this power is cultivated to the place where it controls thinking and behaviour, is man really educated. Only when the mind has been trained to seek truth and goodness, and apply them to daily life, is he the educated person he ought to be. Without conscience, intellect threatens all that men hold dear of freedom, peace, and brotherhood. In our schools today, from kindergarten to college, the future of our nation is being laid down. On these children in our schools, the fate of our peoples, for good or evil, must lie, and it is important that we consider gravely, what we are doing to guide this potentially powerful force. What are we giving these young people, that will help them to live wisely, serve ably, and lead successfully in their time? True, we are giving them instruction in the stored wisdoms of the races. The books, laboratories, the classrooms and shops are wide open to them. But are we teaching the arts, the sciences, and the skills in a way that will waken their souls and stimulate in them a respect for truth and a regard for their fellowmen? Are we teaching them so that they will use their abilities in terms of service? On the quality of our teaching and their learning, rests the fate of the world. BOB HATHEWAY, Form III. excerpts from a student ' s notebook ... but step down, step down to the bottom stairs where the battered coffee-mug stands seeth- ing .... where the languorous waitress tugs at her stocking-seams . . . where shrewd, kindly Pinky scratches at his advancing bald-spot and poignantly speaks of tragedy. Tragedy — one of our most saleable commodities — strikes up a chorus of responses even from among our conserva- tive consumers in the back row and at once a point of departure ... a beginning of an end has been created and the conversation holds. Yet, some prefer restraint . . . lower the eye-lashes to linger in solitude with their particular, beautiful misery. But the best among them exchange their daringness and cunningness . . . take turns at disclosing elbows of pain and turbulence and inquire, adroitly, whether or not we should like to have our inning now or hold our peace. . . . they spoke of nostalgia and he felt himself sink away from the table . . . felt a shadow of longing pass overhead and heard ancient, half-remembered voices call from across time while a soundless wind, a cold, north wind whirled somewhere . . . somewhere beyond the pane. Through the smoke they spoke of many things — of Charlie with his paint brushes poking their noses from ' neath the empty canvas; of the two in the corner . . . the two huddled for warmth ... of the two waiting for the bus that would not come . . . the three that break out in rampant delight at the initial whisp of a popular melody, each superimposing on the others the tone and climb of her own rocking memory as altogether they swing into I am so glad that . . . And of Sally . . . good-time Sally . . . alone, in her bare four walls and a ceiling penning a carefully compromising note to him who hesitates, seeking just the right word . . . just the right accent to arouse just the right sort of anticipation. And big-eyed Stan . . . the pool . . . some dumb-bells . . . muscles . . . muscles . . . muscles! But there are many stories — many styles — many sizes too. Perhaps this one will fit. A bit tight around the heels? . . . you don ' t have to have a loud voice to be heard . . . you don ' t have to put your tongue in one ' s ear . . . you don ' t have to speak in italics or capital letters for music is as music does. But there again that ' s an old cliche. You don ' t have to watch how you ' re praying but what you arc doing about it and so on and so on and so on. . . . it was sad-eyed Joy who first spoke of their carelessness . . . who first sang of their possibil- ity .. . who first touched upon the fact that there are many things they could hear if they ' d stop to listen; if they ' d slow down to the pace of reality. Why, they might well find the virtues of a new type of cherry blossom. Yet note the resounding bass . . . note that clear chime from the xylophone as it bounces across the sweltering room . . . note that horn pointing up and up and up . . . watch memory ' s glow grow to sense-phony. And from somewhere comes the bubbling voice of an enraptured child . . . and we stop and smile, secretly, and wonder what does it al ' mean. What are we — I and You — going to do? . . . now the song may not be as archaic as some might think it to be . . . the mood may have been weaned on just the precise touch of admiration and affection . . . the verse that has proved itself on the first page might well serve on the second . . . and third . . . and fourth. But this is no nearer to the localization of the soul . . . no further to the seat of our emotions, and we wonder why. We shout: but that is not what was meant at all . . . not it at all. Do not bother to grasp its significance ... do not try to understand, he said, we shall cherish you the more for remaining so . . . And the coffee-mug stood empty. And they paid and walked through tin revolving door. And there they revolved — Big Louis, Fran, Bubbles, Pete, Jack, Barry, Ann, Syl, Zol, Sam, Dick, Elsie, Fitz, Grace, Ted, and Jo . . . and it was morning. But that was Saturday night. MARK KRUK, Form IV. land of hope and glory ngland, the land of history; Scotland, the land of heather; Wales, the land of hospitality, each contributed in its own way to the thrill of a lifetime for fifty Canadian girls last sum- mer. The fairy godfather who looked after our expenses was Mr. Garfield Weston — a Canadian- born industrialist — a man with a vision of world brotherhood, and a determination of purpose to do something about it. W hat impressed me most about Britain was the people themselves. Although things are far from easy for them, they are filled with courage, determination and faith. When, early one morning, we first set foot on British soil in Liverpool, little did we realize what the day had in store for us. Only eight and a half hours later, we were presented to Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth. I have often read of her sincerity, graciousness and beauty, but it was only after our presentation to her that I could fully appreciate her charm and sincerity, and her ability to make one feel instantly at home. Another unforgettable moment was when we attended the gala opening of the Inter- national Ballet in the Royal Festival Hall, at the South Bank Exhibition. Here twelve of us were selected to act as guard of honour for her Royal Highness, the Duchess of Kent. She, too, seemed to be the embodiment of charm and sincerity. The Ballet itself was very much enjoyed by all. We saw, too, some of the educational side of England. A visit to the renowned Eton College — founded in 1440 by Henry VI — mainly for the purpose of free education for seventy needy scholars, is an example. Of course today there is a great increase in the number of scholars but there are still seventy boys each year, who, as a result of examinations are educated for a small fee, or none at all. In the Lower School, near the Master ' s desk stands a birching block — which is rarely used now-a-days. But, at times it must be a great temptation to the teacher! A visit to Stratford-on-Avon ended in a memo rable way. We attended the play Henry V, in Shakespeare Memorial theatre. The actors, who included Michael Redgrave and Richard Burton, put on a wonderful performance. One of the girls remarked If some of my dramatic- minded friends could see me now, they would turn green with envy . Warwick is one of the most beautiful and fascinating castles. It is situated on the banks of the Avon River and it looks young and charming, despite its age. The castle, which is open to visitors, has many beautiful paintings, and also a display of armour including a helmet worn by Cromwell. These were only a few of the highlights of our tour. Our itinerary was filled with other wonderful experiences: A visit to Coventry and its inspiring, though ruined Cathedral; a con- ducted tour through Wedgewood potteries, Weston ' s bakeries, and silk mills in Macclesfield; dinner in the House of Commons, with well known parliamentarians; worship in Westminster Abbey; several days in England ' s picturesque Lake District; four glorious days in Scotland — that land of romance, that land where history lives and legends thrive, — Scotland — the land of heather ; and a day in Wales, where people are friendship incarnate. What of the British character? A visitor from overseas will find that they are all agreed that international peace depends upon international understanding and friendship. Yes , we thought, these people have a wonderful philosophy of life. It seems to be expressed well in a verse, which, if just repeated, may not mean much, but if lived, will mean a great deal. It was given to us by the mayor of Coventry: God give me sympathy and sense, And help me hold my courage high; God give me calm and confidence, And please, a twinkle in my eye. PAULINE KOVACHIK, Form IV. a teacher ' s prayer My God I ask Thee not for wealth, Nor fame with fellow-men. I ask Thee not the easy road Toward which so many tend. I ask Thee not reward for toil Or consolation rare. But as I stand before my class To Thee I make this prayer: Give me a heart quite big enough For those I teach today: The bright, the dull, who often call, Help me direct their way. Let me unkindly words not speak To wound a tender heart; Nor cause discouragement ' s sad march Upon life ' s highway start. But let this day be bright and blest For them as well as me, And the reward I then shall reap ' Twill be enough for me. Sister Mary Philomene Form 6, 326. the first day Up at seven, Breakfast at eight; School before nine I can ' t be late. I rang the bell, They all assembled ; Good morning, Teacher , I began to tremble. This is the list, Of books you need, Please, get them all, Come now, take heed. They were dismissed, They all ran out; I was finished, Without a doubt. Oh, what misery, Why did I decide To become a teacher, In the countryside? Marjorie Doyle Form 2, No. 73 if If you can stand with the sinking sun, Not hating yourself for the things you ' ve done, If you can find one friend that ' s true, That stands to the test when time is due; If you are honest though others cheat, Losing the game, accept defeat; If you can love when others despise, Be judged and yet not criticize, Then your lowly path of Life be trod With love and happiness and near to God. Anne Taylor, Form VI, 294. A Student knocked at the Pearly Gates; His face was worn and old. Wearily he stood, as St. Peter came, — He asked to join the fold. What have you done , St. Peter asked, To gain admittance here ? I ' m a London Normal student sir; Been studying for a year. The Pearly Gates swung open wide; St. Peter rang the bell. Come in and choose your harp, my boy. You ' ve had your share of ??? Anonymous. the witches ' whirl ou mean you weren ' t there? Folks, you don ' t know what you missed! When the Literary Society held their party, the halls of old L.N.S. really rocked. Our program began in the auditorium and numerous skits were given, one of which was a one-man playlet, I ' ll Pay the Rent , performed by our own (who else would have him?) Jack Culp. We next divided into three groups, which were sent to the gym, common room, and music room. The gym re-echoed with the calls of swing your partner , and, do-se-do . Mr. Biehl ' s gay plaid shirt and Mr. Hyde ' s blue jeans certainly added to the atmosphere. In between calls we entertained, much to the delight of the girls, with a Ladies ' Hat-Passing Contest . In the common room modern dancing was carried on, with Ellis Pearce handling the records. After the laughter, screaming, and squirting of water subsided, it was plain to see that Doug Armstrong and his right-hand man the skeleton had done a terrify-ic job in the Spook House. At eleven, everyone met in the gym where cider, apples, and cake were served. Dancing continued until the close of the initial, but splendid, party at Normal. the hay-seed hop ✓on your jeans and plaid shirt was the cry of the Women ' s Athletic Association. To back this up some novel advertising was carried on in the morning assembly in the form of a hoe-down ' on the stage. As a result of this activity, a huge crowd attended the Hay-seed Hop held November 22 at the Normal School. Mr. Hyde ' s outfit caused quite a sensation, complete with blue jeans, hay-seed and ' tin-type ' hair-do. But Jack Culp in his straw hat ran stiff competition. The party began with an auditorium program headed by Barb. Johnston. Clever imita- tions of some of our instructors got the evening off to a hilarious start. After this riotous begin- ning the ' country cousins ' were divided into equal sections with a fair number of handsome Harries per group. Caller Don Pickston put them through their paces during the square dancing in the gym- nasium. The mixer Red River Valley proved to be the favourite. And how were the extra girls being taken care of? Fran Warren with her collection of games occupied them in the music room While Jackie Crandall ' s bag of tricks kept the round dancing going smoothly with one hundred percent participation in the common room. The climax of the evening came with the serving of the cake, ice-cream and chocolate milk, ably arranged by Jan Hodgson — food being one of her many talents. After an evening of such fine and strenuous entertainment, all were ready to ' hit the hay ' . J he Men ' s Athletic Society sponsored this year ' s Christmas party on December 19th. It was a terrific success thanks to Laurie, Stan, Barry, Otto, Mark (are last names necessary?) and several other willing workers. The first part of the programme began in the auditorium. To open the show a behind- the-scenes operation was staged, called, aptly enough, Operation Crosscut . A rather grissly beginning but to offset this, a joyful Santa soon arrived with gifts for members of the staff. St. Nick put much careful consideration into their selection I ' m sure, for some of them were sur- prisingly appropriate. Here they are: Miss Conover, a spool and wool; Mr. Hyde, dice (ex- cellent for teaching number facts, it ' s rumoured); Mr. Biehl, a penny; Miss Singer, a stamp; Mr. Dobrindt, a comic book (chosen with particular attention to age level); Mr. Walker, a toy hammer; Miss Emery, a paintbrush; Mr, O ' Neil, a water-pistol; Miss Mcllroy, a mouth organ; and lastly for Mr. Hall, a road map. Who was our Santa Clans? That ' s a secret — but thanks to Jim Brown anyway. Then the audience was divided into groups and went either to the Common Room for round dancing, where Bill Martin and Otto Applebaum took charge, or to the gym for square dancing. In addition, a novel Waltz Contest was held, judged by Mrs. O ' Neil. Yvonne Tulley and Gord Clark did the fanciest stepping and won. In both the gym and Common Room the mistletoe played its traditional role. After lunch was served, dancing continued until half past eleven when everyone left feel- ing happy and gay with the spirit of Christmas. the Christmas concert rom the moment they writ- cheered by the merry wreath on the L.N.S. front door until the time that the last parent left for home, the Annual Christmas programme by the Glee Club was a smashing success. The Guard of Honour in their long pastel gowns and holding lighted tapers started the performance with the picturesque candlelight processional God Rest You Merry Gentlemen . Following this the choir presented Masters in this Hall with soloists Jim Brown and Elsie Stecko. The next portion of the programme consisted of favorite selections from Handel ' s Mes- siah . Jim Noble, as the very convincing prophet, interwove the solos and chorus with scriptural texts. The climax of this part was the tremendous chorus And the Glory of the Lord . Tenor and contralto solos were taken by Zoltan Veres and Mary Galbraith while the soprano recitative was sung by Donna Kelly. Zoli Veres appeared as violin soloist later in the programme playing the Hungarian folk songs Gypsy, Play at My W indow and One Girl in the World . Perhaps one of the most spectacular attractions was the Angel Tableau with the back- ground music Silent Night provided by the choir. The excellent costuming and lighting made this item one of the finest on the programme. Another novelty was the Old English carollers with glowing lantern and good Yuletide cheer who provided another colourful highlight. Their convincing costumes and bubbling spirits won the hearts of the capacity audience. Rita Munford sang the part of the shepherdess in one carol The audience had a chance to enter in festivities as they joined with the choir in singing two familiar and well-loved carols the First Noel and Joy to the World . Following numbers were the duet Bethlehem sung by Norma Pitt and Patricia Hughes, O Holy Night by the Ladies Chorus with soloist Joyce Hathaway and the Men ' s chorus under the direction of Edwin Reimer. To conclude in a lighter vein, new versions of White Christmas and Winter Wonder- land were sung with baritone soloist Ed Reimer. Special bouquets are due to our able conductor Miss Helene Puskas who took over so willingly when Miss Mcllroy was ill ; to decorations Convenor Miss Joyce Hathaway who managed to transform the auditorium with w hite branches and red poinsettas into a real Winter Wonder- land ; and most especially to Miss Patricia Hughes who worked extremely hard for the success of the evening. Our special appreciation to Pat and her executive for the wonderful job done in organizing and carrying out our musical programme. After the concert the evening was still far from over. The students now had an oppor- tunity to show parents and friends around the school and to introduce them to members of the staff. In some of the classrooms student projects were exhibited. Mr. Dobrindt ' s room was, of course, devoted to primary activities and here, work from completed primary kits was dis- played while the boards were decorated with colourful Christmas scenes. The craft room was particularly interesting with the walls and tables literally covered with examples of many different types of craft work. Masks, turtles, peep-shows, carved trays, Christmas decorations, to mention only a few of the many things to be seen. Way up in the gym, there was a needlecraft exhibit. The variety of stuffed animals was astonishing — every thing from fish to elephnats and some species which defied description. From here the crowd moved next door to the Home Economics room where tea, sandwiches, and cookies were graciously served by Miss Conover and her volunteers. As students and guests began leaving in small groups, the lower hall with its gay Christmas decorations seemed filled with an atmosphere of happiness. And why not — hadn ' t it been a wonderful evening? he combined Glee Club-Red Cross party on January 17th was well named because the students who came had to wend their way through snow-drifts and over icy streets to L.N.S. Those who made it without too many broken bones were well repaid for their efforts since, from beginning to end the party was the well known barrel of fun. The beginning , began in the Auditorium with a fast moving and slightly fixed game of Truth or Consequences , M.C ' d by a very capable Bill Martin. The volunteers who were stuck with the consequences had to lap up water from a dish and arrest Mr. Dobrindt for reckless driving (not with a golf club). (Quote, But isn ' t this the right side of the road, ossifer? ) The highlight of the consequences was Fran Warren ' s rendition of five different snores. Sounded as if she ' d practised at home, didn ' t it? The audience was then divided into three groups — one to the gym for square-dancing, another to the Common room to trip the light fantastic in a more modified form, and, of course, there was the girls group for games in the Music room. During the course of the evening three contests were held with the different groups to choose the finalists for the Apple Queen Contest. When everyone adjourned to the gym for refreshments Mrs. O ' Neill and Mr. Biehl chose Yvonne Chant as the Queen. With her partner, Norm Quigley, Yvonne quickly eliminated the other candidates and was crowned by Pat Hughes and Pete Giles. They also presented Norm and Yvonne with boxes of chocolates (they were delicious). The party ended with a wonderful lunch and everyone went forth again into the Frosty night . J he February party found its name in the combined Valentine and Leap year theme. Under the auspices of the Dramatic Society, the party differed from those preceding it in several respects. Instead of the usual auditorium entertainment, a scavenger hunt was held which had sixty excited searchers wandering over most of South London in quest of such things as potato chips, bus transfers, swizzle sticks, and policemen ' s autographs. Indoors, things were no less furious as another fifty or so folk followe d the poetic clues of a treasure hunt throughout the entire building only to find the prize, a box of chocolates, right where they started from in the beginning. Highlight of the evening was the attendance of 25 young members of the Belgian Air Force and French Fleet Air Arm. These chaps, none of whom spoke English, added a real dash of colour and romance to the proceedings. Bewildered by our treasure hunt, they went along like good sports and really showed their parlour skills in the Lifesaver relay. Round and square dancing held no terrors for them either but we heard that Ted Abey nearly went mad trying to translate the dance calls into French. Coffee and cake, served by the girls of the Dramatic Society in Miss Conover ' s room, rounded out the evening. Normal ' s first venture into international relations was a pronounced success. Voila! the hot hearts hop the toronto trip he staid old C.P.R. station was rocked on its heels when hordes of Normal students descended on it ready to start off on their yearly Toronto week-end. The hour was early but every- one seemed wide awake and brimming over with energy. It was hard to believe these were the same people who w ander w earily about like lost souls until at least 10 o ' clock on a regular school morning. All aboard ' sounded, and the sedate ladies and gentlemen of a moment before crawled, climbed, dived and fell into the train (or so it seemed in all the rush !) Once seated, things quieted down — slightly. In no time, packs of cards popped out and the bridge and euchre fiends settled down to silent, intent playing, except for occasional howls of anguish. Some passed the hours by talking, laughing, eating, and what is worse, singing. Other restless and gregarious types, promenaded the aisles visiting one and all — quite a feat with the wild lurching of our C.P.R. special . As soon as the outskirts of Toronto came into view everyone donned coats and collected scattered belongings, ready to leave. In fact, four or five girls were so eager that they got off at West Toronto! Luckily, the rest managed to wait until the train pulled into Union Station and charged out to transfer to the trolleys. The first stop on the itinerary was the Art Gallery which a group of about forty had chosen to tour, along with Miss Emery and Miss Conover. Perhaps the most interesting exhibit here was the one of primitive paintings by Grandma Moses. A larger group continued on to the museum to tour the gallery they had selected— either the North American Indian, Elizabethan England, Egyptian, Natural History or the Science in the Rocks. Unfortunately, since we were behind schedule, our arrival was close to noon and many did not have time to eat and tour the Museum too, Naturally, in many cases, the food won out. At one o ' clock we met at the Parliament Building for an official reception very kindly arranged by Mr. Robarts, M.P.P. for London. A guide explained the procedure of parliament and much of the interesting historical background of the buildings. We were then welcomed by Premier Frost who introduced several members from counties represented in the student body of the school. Following this, we took seats in the visitors galleries and watched our provin- cial government at work. The rest of the week-end was free for any other activities planned. Friday night, many enjoyed the Toronto Symphony where the pianist-composer Percy Grainger was guest artist, while a few heard the Royal Conservatory opera production The Bartered Bride . Saturday was spent in seeing more of the sights of Toronto (the girls, of course, spent most of their time in Eaton ' s and Simpson ' s). In the evening the music-lovers attended a very delightful light opera, The Magic Flute . The sports-minded, took advantage of their opportunity to see the Boston-Toronto hockey game at Maple Leaf Gardens. After all these hectic activities Sunday was a welcome day of rest. Although some had returned on earlier trains, the majority waited to board the five-forty. One might expect sub- dued and weary travellers, but was this the case? Not at all ! The return trip was just as spirited as Friday ' s, despite gloomy prospects of Monday ' s test. It was a wonderful week-end but nevertheless everyone seemed glad to arrive back in London.

Taylor programmes f you happen to be of the more adventurous sort you might try to enter the auditorium some Wednesday after four o ' clock. Nine times out of ten you will be greeted with a polite shriek to Get out! For at this time the doors are barred to outsiders. The piercing screams, strains of Chopin or Chopsticks, or dramatic declarations you might have chanced to hear are all indications that rehearsals for this week ' s Literary Society programme are in full swing. Form I was the first to take the plunge and reveal to a sympathetic audience its varied talents ranging from the dramatic presentation of the gruesome adventures of Sam Shovel, Private Eye , so effectively presented by Otto Applebaum, to a hilarious skit entitled The Little Red School House . Hallowe ' en just wouldn ' t have been Hallowe ' en had it not been for Form IV ' s interpre- tation of the Witches ' scene from Macbeth (with sincere apologies to William Shakespeare). The Three Witches so effectively portrayed by Lois Langford, Marion Marcenko, and Mary Martin, stirred everything in their broth from spool-knitting and pitch-pipes to one of Mr. Dobrindt ' s modest, conservative ties. From tragedy we turn to a lighter vein. Form V took as their theme the progress of a talented family from the younger years to the time of their enrolment at Normal School, and such talent! There was soprano Rita Munford, baritone Ed Reimer, violinist Helene Puskas and pianists Eliane Risler and Frances Richardson. Of course such a family w as bound to be blessed with one poor unfortunate, namely Goody Rosen, who despite all attempts failed to receive any acclaim for his unique interpretation of Chopin ' s Mayonnaise . A few days before Christmas Form II presented a rollicking sleigh-ride. The only damp- er on the party was Harold Crellin who persisted violently on studying his 300 pages of psychology. The wailing of bag-pipes and rolling of drums ushered in St. Andrew ' s Day commemorated by Form I. Who could ever forget Jim Brown ' s comic rendition of I Belong to Glasgow ? Form III started off 1952 with one of the most colourful and varied programmes ever presented by their reminiscence of the Roaring Twenties. Included in the assembly was Fitz ' s and Grade ' s rendition of the Charleston. The touching melodrama Perils of Pauline starred villain Toby Irwin. The Roaring Twenties also brought out the Mammy singer Al Jolson, by Bob Fuller, singing such favourites as April Showers and Swannee River. February 6 marked a tragic day in our lifetime. For it was on this day that the world was stunned by the news of the sudden passing of our beloved King George VI. In respect and tribute to our late sovereign, and in sympathy and allegiance to his gracious daughter, now Queen Elizabeth II, Forms V 7 and VI presented sincere and simple Memorial services. We had drama, comedies, tragedies and otherwise, round table discussions, panel discus- sions, radio plays, and almost everything imaginable in the way of entertainment, all presented originally and delightfully. No wonder everyone looked forward to Thursday afternoon! ELSIE STECKO, Form VI. interest groups Joyce Hathaway — St. Thomas Interest Group Editor Age 20 Ambition — To stay on a horse ' s back. Nick Name — Sunshine Saying — I nearly died. £ osh this is Wednesday. W hat goes? Interest Groups or otherwise? j I ' m not sure. Do you remember what we had last week? Oh yes. We made up for the periods we were missing on Friday so this week we may have Interest Groups and time to specialize in one subject or work on oui hobbies. You know I ' d like to visit all the groups to get an idea of what is really being done. Let ' s ask Mr. Biehl, surely he ' d give us permission just once. (Half an hour later) That wasn ' t as easy as I thought! However, let ' s get going: might as well start at the bottom. Down to the basement it is then to Mr. Walker ' s Hobbycraft groups. What on earth is that smell? There ' s Ross Andrews, president of the group. Let ' s find out what goes on Ross what are you crafty creatures burning? Oh you smell plastic. Some of our members are working on plastic letter openers and when plastic is heated a little to make it pliable it gives off an odour. What else have you done? We began with leathercraft and tooled key cases with nut picks. Betty Chalk helped us considerably. Those woven birds the girls are wearing are products of ojr meagre looms. Some were sufficiently industrious to make earrings to match. Before Christmas each member made a poinsetta. Any resemblance was purely coincidental! Vel Minielly, our secretary, tells me there is a new face amongst us weekly. Thanks Ross, sorry we can ' t stay but we hope to look in on all the groups. Listen isn ' t that the Toreador song from Carmen? It ' s coming from the Common room. Let ' s have a look. There ' s maestro Hall at the front of his group of fifty long hairs . I understand Ed Reimer is president and Rita Munford is secretary. There she is near the back. Come on we ' ll have a chat with her. Rita tell us about your group. Our motto is, If music be the bread of life, play on. Consequently we do play on. We have listened to opera including Carmen, Pagliacci and La Boheme; to piano concertos and sonatas, band music, chamber music, symphonies and light opera selections. We have compared Enrico Caruso to our own Mario Lanza. The film the Telephone Hour starring Ezio Pinza was among our favourites. At Christmas this group listened to Handel ' s Messiah and went carolling. You ' ve accomplished a great deal Rita. We ' ll slip out quietly so you may enjoy to- day ' s music. Ladies and gentlemen, I ask you to rise with me and drink a toast to Sounds like Mr. Hyde ' s Parliamentary Procedure group is in full swing. Let ' s take a peek. That ' s Bruce MacKenzie in the chair. I see Donna Pineo is secretary. Bruce conducts each meeting during w r hich topics relevant to the fundamentals of conducting meetings are studied. This is the group that takes over at banquets and the introduction of guest speakers. Wonder if there are any potential M.P ' s in there? Say what is that little group? There are only two members. here. That is the group in Librarianship under the direction of Miss Singer. They study the techniques of librarianship and do some practical work in filing, cataloguing, classification, book selection and reference files. They also become better acquainted with all the books. That is very interesting but we had better hurry or we won ' t get to the other groups. Mr. O ' Neill ' s and Mr. Devereux ' s Audio-Visual group is busy down there previewing a film for Thursday. You know it would be very helpful to know how to run all those machines in schools to-day. One can run up against film strip projectors, movie projectors, opaque pro- jectors and tape recorders. Their president Otto Applebaum and Lola Culbert secretary, feel that we all should take this course since audio-visual materials are making classroom learning so real to children. They have a good point there. Do you hear laughter? It ' s coming from Mr. Dobrindt ' s actors and actresses. Let ' s look in. There ' s Jim Brown coming to greet us. Why all the laughter Jim? The club is practising their play called the Stolen Prince . They are producing it the Friday that Hamilton Normal comes to visit us. Is that all you do? Oh no! We read and discuss other plays we think will prove useful later on. It must be interesting. Thanks Jim. Here we are on the top floor and listen to the racket! Sewing machines buzzing, feet pounding, hands clapping, gleeful screaming and in the distance, rulers banging, taps running and paint boxes rattling. Is this a busy place! I smell developer and fixer. What ' s that? Wouldn ' t have anything to do w ith Mr. Biehl ' s Camera Club over there in the dark room would it? Right you are that ' s the group I belong to. They are working on the pictures they took. Harold Crellin has been our staff photographer. We commenced this year with indoor and out- door portraits; then we made contact prints and later, enlargements. We are mounting our best enlargements which will be on exhibition in the Common Room. Sue Sutton is our secretary. What group are you in? I ' m with the other squares — learning to call square dances. We ' re getting ready for competition now. During the war we took turns calling in groups of three or four while the others danced. We have learned many calls and have helped during school parties. Miss Prendergast is our never-tiring advisor, while Grace Fleming is Chairman, Marjory Doyle Vice- chairman and Keith West Secretary. Did you see those creations in the Common Room? Some of the modern art from Miss Emery ' s Art group you know. Robert Fuller, president, told me they studied basic figures first and then attempted landscapes which were rendered in such media as tempera, crayon, chalk and watercolours. What, no finger paint! Bob didn ' t mention that they used finger paint but no doubt some paint coloured fingers. How, now — I guess our last visit will be to Miss Conover ' s sewing centre. Look at those girls, fingers racing against time. Needlepoint, crochet, embroidery and knitting. Some of those articles must be for Hope Chests. Who uses doilies, lace and pillow cases in school? Loie Rowe is president and Alice Sanders secretary. There ' s the bell — Hooray it ' s recess.

Doug Towers and under the watchful eye of Mr. Hall, the team made a commendable showing despite the shortage of equipment and practice. At Western U. the Normalites dominated the play at every turn but were subdued by the purple and white with a score of 2 to 1. Two penalty shots caused our defeat. Other games with Beck Collegiate and Beal Tech found our boys victorious in the first contest but downed in the second, both by the score of 2 to 1. The crimson and gold fought steadily in the final game but had to finish the season with another 2 to 1 setback at the hands of Central Collegiate. J x November the school was invited down to Hamilton Normal for their annual social visit. Friday at noon most of the student body climbed on the waiting buses and set off in high spirits. First on the programme planned by our hosts were the basketball and volleyball games. Both the girls ' and boys ' basketball games w i re close and exciting. The boys did us proud and after a fast game, came out on top. The girls also played a good game but were not as fortunate, losing by one heartbreaking point. A mixed team played volleyball and here, too, London was bested by Hamilton ' s team. Following the games our flagging spirits were revived by the delicious banquet served by the Hamilton students. Our school representatives sat at the head table. Doug Copland expressed his thanks on behalf of all the London students for the hospitality shown us. Kit Sage, our Athletic Representative, thanked our hosts for the pleasant sports competition and mentioned in particular the wonderful sportsmanship shown by both sides. At the Normal School, the programme continued with a presentation of musical numbers, skits and a play. The greater part of the evening was spent in round and square dancing. Par- ticular attention was given to mixing the students of both schools. When it was time to leave we all agreed we had been very well entertained and determined to do our best when Hamilton Normal paid us their return visit. and gold ' MEN ' S ATHLETIC SOCIETY Seated: L.

The players, hailing from many dif- ferent parts of southwestern Ontario, quickly became accustomed to one another ' s play, and soon a powerful and smooth-running team was developed. The team got off to a strong start, playing local collegiate teams, as well as several city and out-of-town teams. Some high scores were recorded by the team, led by Phil Schmidt and Doug Towers and backed by the sturdy defensive play of Pete Giles and Zoli Veres, to mention only four of the group of Normal cagers. Here is a list of most of the games played by our Men ' s team. Normal at Hamilton Normal, won 34-22; Normal at St. Thomas Collegiate, lost in overtime 57-58; Normal at South Collegiate, won 81-47; Normal at Beal Tech, won 50-37; Normal at Woodstock Collegiate, won 64-47; Normal at Central Collegiate, won 59-49; Normal at Grace United, won 48-34; Normal at Tillsonburg Collegiate, lost 34-44; Normal at Beal Tech, won 45-37, Normal at Hamilton Normal at London, won 45-32; Normal at King Street United, won.

Here are some of the reasons why it has been so wonderful. First is the enthusiasm and team spirit shown by all the members. This spirit of co- operation has been our most indispensable asset. Another reason for our successful season is, of course, the team members themselves. Exceptional skill in hooping baskets was displayed by Beth Blain, helped along by our captain Kit Sage. Barb Johnson, Jackie Crandall, Jan Hodgson, Lillie Saunders, Johanne Smart, Bertha Rose Annett, and Pat Coveny also got their share of baskets. On the guard line, Evelyn England proved to be a dynamic boon to the team. She was greatly assisted by Grace Fleming, Donna Chapman, Yvonne Tully, Doreen Rigney and Fran Warren. Add to all these, our exciting trips to Hamilton and Guelph and the total result is one terrific season ! li a 111 1 1 1 o ii ii.s. ill Imidiiii o.s. March 7th, Hamilton Normal School paid a return visit to London. At 2:15 the students of L.N.S. piled into two special buses headed for Beal Technical School to meet Hamilton in a mixed volley-ball game, a girl ' s, and a boy ' s basketball game. The Hamilton buses pulled in just as we arrived and with much good natured kidding back and forth we went into the gym. There must have been a little gremlin sitting on L.N.S. bench during the volley-ball game because our team was defeated by a score of 34 to 15. But our luck returned during the boys ' basketball game and L.N.S. decisively defeated Hamilton. The final score was L.N.S. 54, H.N.S. 32. That gremlin was back again during the girls ' game and although our girls fought hard and well they lost to Hamilton by a score of 29 to 28. After the games a delicious dinner was served to both schools at Knox United Church. Our own Mr. Biehl welcomed Hamilton and Mr. W oodruff of Hamilton replied. Toasts were also made by Prime Ministers Ray Long of Hamilton and Doug Copland of L.N.S. After the dinner we adjourned to the school for the evening activities. The Hamiltonians were greeted by a sign saying Welcome Hamilton . They went up to the auditorium to see the programme prepared by the Drama Club. The programme opened with a short speech by chairman, Don Pickston, who introduced the first number, a lovely rendition of Give me your little hand from Don Giovanni by Ed Reimer and Elsie Stecko. As an encore they sang Serenade from The Student Prince . A chorus, organized and directed by Helene Puskas performed numerous Negro spirituals with soloists Joyce Hathaway, Rita Munford, Mary Gal- braith and Ed Reimer. Then followed the treat of the evening — the Drama Club ' s presentation of the hilarious fantasy The Stolen Prince . This comedy was centred around Chinese royalty and lack of stage material proved no handicap to our Drama Club. The property man flitted about the stage with everything from a toy duck to an undersized tugboat. After the performance there was square-dancing in the gym, round-dancing in the music room and games and cards in the common room. (Needless to say Hamilton was quite im- pressed by our common room.) By this time everyone was ready for more refreshments. These wire served in Miss Conover ' s room. The hour had now come for parting and with many promises to meet again soon, Hamilton climbed back into their buses for the trip back and the Hamilton visit was over again for another year. london u s. men ' s intramural sports our teams in each of basketball and floor hockey have been contesting keenly during the past three months for championship laurels. Basketball seems to be the more popular with the four teams being captained by Doug Towers, Pete Giles, Phil Schmidt and Dick Luker. It appears that either Giles ' or Luker ' s team will finish in the top spot Eloor hockey has been ever increasing in popularity and great interest, enjoyment and good sportsmanship have been shown by the players as they battle tooth and nail for those all-important goals. At present the teams captained by Jack Crocker and Norm Quigley seem to have the upper hand over those of Dick Luker and Phil Schmidt.

Nick Name — Grade Saying — Oh, dear! how ' s your sense of humour ow ' s your sense of humour? Do you like to break loose every now and then with a hearty, stomach-shaking laugh? If you do, your chances of a long and successful career as a teacher are greater than if you are habitually solemn. Laughter isn ' t only the result of good health ; it can also be one of the causes of good health. It is a mild convulsive reaction that releases tensions and pent-up energy, soothes the nerves, stimulates the body, and sometimes keeps us from despair and madness. Not only can it keep schoolrooms under control, but it can stop a riot, hold families to- gether, and make war seem less ghastly. It ' s a kind of shock-absorber against the difficulties and unpleasantness of life. Since laughter affects a large number of the vital organs of the body, it is believed that there is a definite place for laughter both in remedial treatment and in the maintenance of every- day good health. As a prescription for a longer, healthier and happier life as a teacher, laughter seems too easy to be of any great value, but don ' t let its simplicity fool you. Keeping in good health is every teacher ' s concern. It ' s a matter of making the most of what nature gave you. And nature gave you the abilitv to laugh. Use it and use it often, teacher. It ' s a habit you ' ll never want to break. DOREEN RIGNEV. school opens £ ood morning, children. We are here to-day. j (I wish I were a hundred miles away.)

And they began to search diligently that they might find the Temple of the Normalites. And having found this ancient edifice they went up thereto, marvelling at the preservation of the ruins. And when they arrived there, the high priest who was called Biehl went out to meet them, and he gathered them into his arms. lie delivered them of all their riches and diverse other things.

And great was Ihe confusion of the Normalites for several weeks, for they did not un- derstand the ways of Ihe taskmaster. ind il came to pass that during Ihe 3rd week, the high priest delivered the Normalites unto the babes and sucklings that they might teach them. And there was much weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. For Ihe ormulites in their confusion lost all reason and were as those filled with an unclean spirit. ind great was Ihe rejoicing of the taskmasters at the agony of Ihe Normalites. ow il came to pass Unit Ihe Normalites did call together their counsellors and wise women to consider their miserable plight. And they counselled together that they might hold a great parly to overcome their sorrows. And great was Ihe preparation I hereof. And when Ihe even ' for the dance arrived there was great rejoicing thereat. And Ihe youths and maidens did forget their trials and tribulations, yea even unto eleven hours by the sundial. fter the dance they departed hence by twos and threes to their respective lerds and retired for the night. And great were the snores thereof. ind il came to pass a fter the great lost weekends of the Normalites that the taskmasters held tests of strength and endurance. And the Normalites were parted from their knowledge. They were asked all manner of questions about the fowls of Ihe air: the laws of the scribes and phariseesi the training of babes and sucklings: the length of cubits and the inter- pretation of divers hieroglyphics. And they were sorely pressed and did use up much ink. Verily, verily. 1 say unto you. better il is to die (of) a bitter death than to live thuswise. And there were in the same country other Normalites abiding in. the city of Hamilton. W ho, being of a kind and generous nature, and also desirous of playing basketball with Ihe Londoners, did instruct their scribes to invite the Londoners to visit them. The Londoners rejoiced at Ihe invitation and on the appointed day journeyed to the distant city. And the Londoners proved equal lo the Hamilton ians in strength and endurance. There was great rejoicing in Ihe city until the early morning hours for there was feasting and dancing. And in the dead of the night did the weary Normalites alight from their camels before their own tents. And it came to pass that Ihe high priest again cast out the. Normalites from the temple that they might spend five days and nights on the countryside. In an agony of spirit the Nornuilites did confer together concerning their miserable, plight, but to no avail. Therefore, on the appointed day. did the Normalites take their places among the children of the sheepherders. And each Normalite shook as one with Ihe palsy as he endeavoured to teach the children. And the five days passed like jive years until the time was accomplished that they should return to their homes. Now almost four months had passed since the Normalites had first arrived al the temple. And the time was nigh al hand that the Normalites should return to their own homes and abide for several days under the roofs of their parents. And there was laughing and rejoicing at the temple, and the Normalites with one accord lifted up their voices in song in the halls of the temple and in Ihe streets of the city unto the day of their departure to their respective abodes. SHIRLEY REYNOLDS, Form V, 266. THIS SS V 7 J0 f THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL can ' t understand what is wrong with Jimmy, Wilbur, his new teacher is here to see you again. I didn ' t learn anything in school, Ma, but I sure learned a lot at noon hour. Miss CONOVER — on the first day of school. Young man, do you know who I am? STUDENT: — No, ma ' am, but if you remember your address, I ' ll take you home. Miss CONOVER: — (to the boys) Do you know how to make your pants last? CLEVER Normalitk: — Make the coat and vest first. TEACHER: — (walking into restaurant) Do you serve crabs in here? WAITER: — Sit down. We serve anyone. Then, there is always the cross-eyed school teacher who couldn ' t control her pupils. Attention Mr. Devereaux: — Murray Moron says that people who go to psychiatrists should have their heads examined. Mr. Hall: — Now you have in front of you the north, on your right the east, and on your left the west. What have you behind you? Small Boy: — A patch on my pants. I told mother you ' d see it! Attention Mr. Hall: A Real Teaching Situation: — (Toronto Trip). The other day a young woman teacher took her pupils through a museum of natural history. Well, my boy, where did you go with your teacher this afternoon? asked John ' s mother on his return. With joyous promptness he answered, She took us to a dead circus. On a Problem Child ' s report card, the heading Rank in Class was followed by the teacher ' s answer. Yes. Girl to man on his knees proposing — Okay, I ' ll marry you — but don ' t come whining to me about it afterward. Boy to father: — Here is my report card, and an old one of yours that I found in the attic. Current hit tune, Put down that Juke Box, mother, you know you can ' t carry a tune. 1st Girl: John said he ' d kiss me or die in the attempt. 2nd Girl: Well? 1st Girl: Well, he has no life insurance, and I felt sorry for his poor family. Father: This report card is awful, son. Last exams you were second last, and now you ' re at the bottom of the class. Son: That isn ' t my fault, dad. The fellow who was bottom last time quit school. The trouble is — that when success turns a fellow ' s head it doesn ' t wring his neck at the same time. Instead of choosing the lesser of two evils, many try the one they haven ' t tried before. The reason a lot of people do not recognize opportunity when they see it is because it goes around wearing overalls and looking like work. music executive educators of youth Jrhat does teaching mean to you? Is it just another job or is teaching a profession, a work that is worth-while and everlasting? The future of the country depends upon the training of its children, for citizens of to- morrow will be a tangible evidence of the training of the teachers of today. Thus it is that we play such an important role in the upholding of a creditable society, for teachers train the mind and form the habits of the young, and make upon the souls of little ones, one of the first, the most powerful and lasting impressions for their whole lives. A young man according to his way, even when he is old will not depart from it. Pro- verbs xxii, 6. The work of a tea cher is not glamourous and is often little appreciated. Consequently, to be truly successful teachers we must be wholly stripped of all selfish motives for personal honour and recognition. Teachers are in their classrooms to give to their children, not to gain something for themselves. I say their children because in very truth they are! For just as parents are co-creators with God in the birth of a child, so are teachers co-parents with the mother and father in the watchful care and loving guidance exercised over their children. Educators must be imbued with the idea that by their examples, more than by their precepts, they will inculcate into the hearts of their children respect for all religious and races of people. They must implant in these young and tender hearts the principle of Christian morality, and the highest regard for truth, justice, loyalty, love of country, purity of life, tem- perance and all other virtues. — Public School Act, sec. 108. Let us remember that Christ Himself, the greatest teacher of all time, began first to do and then to teach . Nothing discloses the supernatural beauty and eternal fruition of the efforts of true Christ- ian Education, more than these words of love from the Divine Teacher, Whosoever shall receive one such child as this in Mv Name, receiveth Me. — Mark IX. 36.

To form 1 fell the lot of the first assembly. We did our best, not yet knowing what was expected. Later we learned what was expected — We enjoyed it though. Remember how our sanity was questioned by Londoners as we walked along a street, stopped, looked carefully around to see if anyone was looking, then stooped to pick up a popsicle i irk for our number box?

All kidding aside though, this past year has proved valuable experience for every one of us, and we ' ve all made wonderful friends. So long, it ' s been good to know you! f II timidly approached the formidable door that would lead to this new form — Form II of re- nowned fame of other years. On entering, I was soon enveloped in the friendly atmosphere that seemed to prevail. On looking over the new faces some seemed to predominate — Doug Copland, competent, efficient, a sure choice for premier; the smiling face and sparkling eyes of Margery Fennel that would soon be upholding all the wonders and virtues of her favourite class — Kindergarden . Then who could miss that phenomenon, that creature with a passion for cameras, cars, and coming to class late, only our form could possess Harold Crellin. As the weeks passed into months our fame spread, the Friday nite parties when Jack Culp kept us in suspense as an expressionist, our classmates ' prowess at sports, and the sincerity and simplicity with which our religious pantomimes were presented. Last but not least, our literary programs, interesting and varied, all the way from the pros and cons of television to a heated debate on Education. Thus another year has passed, none have been greater than our Form 1 1. So let us close with Donna Chapman ' s favourite expression An Revoir . University of Toronto UNIVERSITY EXTENSION A new General Course for Teachers, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts has now taken the place of the Pass Course for Teachers. This Course is designed to provide a good deal of concentration on one sub- ject and will be of special interest to teachers. Classes are arranged so that teachers registered in this Course, who live in Toronto and those who find it possible to commute to the City, attend the University in the evenings. Those whose schools are too far dis- tant, attend the Summer Session. Preparatory instruction is provided for these teachers through correspond- ence courses given in the preceding win- ter session. For detailed information, write the Director, University of Toronto, Toronto 5, Ontario. Around The Corner From Anywhere J ust everything from dictation books to symphonies.

A serious discussion and exposition of section 108, sub-section (a) of the School Act, was being led by Mr. Hyde. The Act was very enlightening, and somewhat amusing. Occa- sionally a suggestive laugh came from Joy Hossie. As the Act was finally read, amid confusion came the harsh, raucous cackle of Jan Hodgson. This was not a funny matter. The men who draughted this law were in earnest. The fault must be with the present group. Amid this motley group we find many extremes, — Bruce Fraser, a wary Scol who persists in making announcements; Grace Fleming, who wants to know the way to the stadium; then there is Pete Giles, a very handsome and refined person. Toby Irwin is a shy boy who needs to let his hair down. Fitzmaurice and Fleming are relics of the Roaring Twenties or the Charleston age. Many people in the class are absolutely fascinated by the gay assortment of blocks and coloured toothpicks Mr. Hyde has on his desk. These people sit eagerly digesting every word proceeding from those erudite lips. Fay Hillier or Perilous Pauline is a girl fresh from the farm. Bob Hatheway, an erstwhile writer is gradually beginning to like the country. Joyce Hatheway and Mary Galbraith of St. Thomas are members of Mr. Pickston ' s harem. Kay Firby, our pianist is a pleasing person with carrot-coloured hair. Maureen Gowan- lock, from the Northern regions, is a style-setter in purple velvet. The above are extreme cases. The other normal Normalites are better adjusted. Meanwhile Mr. Hyde continues to read the Riot Act , or section 108. This must be the Riot Act , because it has that effect. But this is temporary. All good things must come to an end. The bell rings and amid the stampede of numerous feet Mr. Hyde lies trampled in the aisle. We love him, but he gol in the way. Period! BOB FULLER, Form III. Id mi four begin with, Form Four has been sadly misnamed! We ' re not for a thing. In fact, at the beginning of any class, J. F. Johnston sits ready to cry can at the hint of a dis- cussion. From that point on, the battle wages, headed by our legal-minded Bruce Mac- Kenzie. supported by his allies McPhee, and Langford, with Bill Martin ready to add his word or two or three Now you wonder why Mr. Dobrindt dreams of summer and golf? Our talents are not merely confined to the classroom, the whole school has felt the influ- ence of various individuals in our group. Who dare miss those lectures on art given by the brilliant Mark Kruk, in the exclusive atmosphere of the Common Room? — Or Richard Joins — our maestro , showing us how the piano should be played? Our form is again unique in that we possess twins! We foresee a bright future for the Messrs. Luker. In our imagination, some twenty years hence, we can see them sternly con- fronting trembling truants with these words: Now this sort of thing must stop! From September onward, I think every member of Form Four has been increasingly amazed by the boundless energy of two of our number, Lila Ives — and Beryl Kelly — the former l in our section of the alphabet and the latter our Student Parliament representative. They have compiled more statistics and taken more polls than perhaps did Binet and Sirois — they deserve a vote of thanks — may their strength carry them through the rest of the year! Form Four in general, has become a closely-knit group. Through days and weeks oi discussions , programmes, exams, all the ebb and flow of our life at L.N.S. we formed a unani- mous decision — we wouldn ' t have wanted our class changed a bit.

Write to The Registrar for a copy of Queen ' s In Pictures Psychologists state that within a day we forget half of what we have learned in that day but I am sure that sonic of the friends we made while in Form V will not be forgotten so easily. Friendships quickly formed after those nerve-racking three minute speeches and nervous introductions in Mr. Hyde ' s room. Phil Schmidt became a member of our class soon after school began and it wasn ' t long before the twinkle in his eye captivated us. Life in form V was rarely dull. How could it be with such personalities as Norm Quigley, Phil Schmidt and Goody Rosen. Ah me! I don ' t know where Goody found all his humour but believe me, he should have left half of it there. For instance, an irate teacher is scolding a pupil for improper language, Te ACHER: Watch your language. Pupil: English, what ' s yours? Oh well, what can you do? Our Literary Society Programs also had their moments. (I still think our Thanksgiving Literary Program was good even though Jim Noble did fall off the platform head first. Em- barassing wasn ' t it Jim?) The next program was musical in nature: and why shouldn ' t it be with such people as Elaine Risler, Frances Richardson, Helene Puskus, Rita Munford and Ed. Reimer taking part. Form V certainly had talent. I often wonder how Ellis explained his singing While Strolling Through the Park to another girl during this program. Form V just didn ' t seem to be a mathematical class, although Mr. Hyde seemed to be able to interpret Don Rigney ' s sighs pretty well. We were very proud of the one ardent bird fan in our class. He loved building bird houses and his latest creation was a fifty-six room martin house. Of course it could only be Ross (Puce) Robinson. Between singing Happy Rosina and seeing Loie Rowe and Kit Sage hide behind the pi. mo, our Music periods were usually kept up to tempo . I wonder if Jim Plank can play a tune on his pitch pipe yet? After hearing Rita hit high C when the rubber spider was dangled in front of her nose in psychology class we realized that she must have had a great deal of voice training. What happened to your spider Tillie? Many of Form V travelled to Toronto along with the rest of the school to visit the Par- liament Buildings. W hat a time! Two of our boys after pricing the rooms at the Royal York ended up in the comfortable, home atmosphere of the Walker House. Oh well, maybe after they receive their first cheque they will be able to stay at the Royal York. Well, good-bye, and let ' s have a reunion. urn for form VI we ever forget that first day of Normal School in the form VI classroom? Everyone seemed to gaze blankly at all the strange faces in that very old but very clean room. Then the real test of our good nature came when we walked into Mr. Dobrindt ' s room. Imagine! — Ten to fifteen different subjects from such a little fellow. Ah yes! Remember that horrible third day of school when we had to trudge up to the platform in that same man ' s room, and tell of our favorite hobby or how boring our summer vacation was, or what we had to eat for breakfast that morning — just so that we could get ac- quainted. Oh, what a way to meet anyone — positively terrifying! Remember that exciting sleigh ride before Christmas? Honestly, why rent a sleigh when so many people walk behind it? I can still see Fran, Yvonne and Sue with their hair all wet and draped over one eye, (Veronica Lake style you know), jeans soaked and then of course snow- balls in their pockets, hands and under caps. As I look back now I seem to remember that several romances began under that beautiful yellow moon. There was Yvonne and Gordon, Sue and Jim and then of course the inseparable pairs Elsie and Jack, Zoli and Joy. Naturally form VI topped the ranks in athletic ability, Let ' s see now. Oh yes, remember Doug Towers and the way he thrilled us as he looped the winning baskets. Stan Wasylyshyn, Zoli Veres and Allan Ward coming from form VI were also star performers on all the teams. Then there was good old Fran Warren, who was a top notch player in basketball. Along with Fran on the popularity list was Yvonne Tulley and Joanne Wright. Our class was made up of the best tops in marks tops in fun and tops in character. We ' ll never forget good old Form VI, 1951-2.
