30 EDMONTON NORMAL SCHOOL e.n.s. i94i-42 We were transported to a new world that September morning in 1941. The Normal School steps seemed to be leading us to the realization of our hopes and the fulfilment of our most cherished dreams. Later those same steps became tests of mental and physical endurance to the victims of run-down alarm clocks. Yes, truly a new world—a world of lectures, clubs, and practise school! Practise School? Who fails to remember that first day? Watching the teacher, observing the pupils, searching tirelessly for material which was never used. Then there was that peculiar sinking sensation in the pit of the stomach just before a lesson was due. One rather startling thing was the realization of how strong the imagin¬ ation of a youngster in Grade three can be. One young teacher was helping four pupils with a little dramatic part which involved the carrying of an imaginary ladder and an imaginary pail, when one bright youngster said, “Jcdm should be carrying the ladder and Mary the pail, because the ladder is heavier than the pail.” The teacher agreed, whereupon the exchange was made. John bent his back and with difficulty lifted his imaginary burden, while Mary, smiling happily, swung her pail. But not always did things go so smoothly. One group remembers how a member tried to control a group of fifty Division III girls in their “P.T.” class using a tonette for a whistle. The tonette hit high D, and the noise subsided for a brief instant, only to re-surge so mightily that Miss Maclver had to untangle the situation. Who does not remember the agony of trying to keep awake in a crowded practise school room as the sunny afternoon wore away to the accompaniment of the drone of children’s voices? Who has not had the bewildering experience of waking up with a start as a practise school youngster tripped over one’s legs. Humiliating, indeed! Nevertheless it is a great task which we have set ourselves to do. Mr. Churchill has said, “ In the past we have had a light that flickered. In the present we have a light that flames. In the future there will be a light that shines over land and sea.” When this calm and steady light of peace and prosperity for all comes to shine over the world we will know that it must have come, in part, because teachers everywhere have been doing their duty. Let us make it our firm re¬ solve that we will do all in our power to see that the prophecy of Mr. Churchill is fulfilled. DONALDA HAGEN, Class C.
