16 EDMONTON NORMAL SCHOOL P€RSP£CTIv e Another term is coming to an end. Time marches on, the tide of our fortunes ebbs and flows, and throughout the years we be¬ come more and more progressive. We first enrolled as students. Before long circumstances made it necessary for many of us to sit on the opposite side of the desk. To the north we went to display our newly-learned arts of pedagogy. In that cold northerly climate, our molten ardour solidified before the blasts of experience. On returning we found ourselves faced with a greater task—striving for higher objectives. Normal School was now more than a place in which to learn and forget. It was a place where work was to be done. With the sympathy and understanding of our instructors, we once more dug in. This time, zeal and understanding were with us. A new horizon had opened up. So by today we have learned the necessity of enduring toil. Great tasks lie before us in every field of endeavor. Whether we teach school, defend our country on the battlefield, or till the soil, the future hopes of our civilization rest with us. Let us do our best to fulfil these hopes. This year at the Edmonton Normal School will remain long in our memories as one of the milestones of our lives. Years from now, looking back through periods of success and failure, satisfaction and disappointment, and all the ups and downs of our variegated careers, we will all think of the days at Normal with pleasure. We will be indeed fortunate if the years between are so overflowing with suc¬ cess and happiness. In the meantime let us remain— “.strong in will, To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” R. DAVIS, Second Term President.
