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. Yours respectfully, DOUGLAS COPLAND, P.M., Student Pari.
