36 ACTA NOSTRA, . , - . . L. Alumni We hope that 1956 will be a memorable year for the students and this, their maga- zine. As usual most of the graduating students have left the Collegiate and have positions in the business world. Some hare chosen to further their education in university or technical schools. A few girls have chosen the nursing profession while others are attending Normal School. Whatever their chosen field may be. we wish them success and happiness. Attending the University of Toronto this year are: ROGER BRAGG in Forestry, JANE DAVISON in Social and Philosophical Studies, PATRICIA LITTLE studying Eng- lish Language and Literature. BRUCE THOMAS in medicine. HARRY BRAUN in Engineer ng, VALERIE BUSTARD in Physi- cal and Occupational Therapy, MARY NEW- BOULD in Nursing Science, and SHEILA GEOGHEGAN at St. Michael's College studying Languages. Annesley Hall, 95 Queen's Park. Toronto. Ont. Dear Acta Nostra: Thank you for giving me this oppor- tunity of writing to all loyal G.C.I,ers- those who buy and read Acta Nostra. I am one of the lucky freshies and fresh- men at Toronto this year and, already, can recommend it to you on behalf of all of us as by-far-the-best-university-on- the-continent! I often hear people class U. of T, as too big and therefore too cold 1-hearted, that ist, but these people are always graduates or students of other universities, We think the bigness of our university merely affords more competi- tion in sports-interfaculty and otherwise, wider scope for talent-dramatic, musical. literary . . , and a wider variety of interesting lectures to attend, for you may attend any lecture at any college any time you so desire. This is all apart from the fun-filled clubs and productions of your particular college-the engineers' Skule Night. the Vic Bob Revue, Daffydil from the meds men . . . I often hear people say they wouldn't wantbto live in that huge smoke-smother- ed city, Toronto, but they have never lived there. U. of T. is a city within a city-you never have to stray north of Bloor or south of College Street, but if you have a roving spirit. Toronto sur- rounds you, waiting to be explored. If you like drama you actually have several, real, legitimate theatres to choose from. Residence life at College you will love. The break in the middle of the evening for nescafe and some more knitting at those odd-shaped socks, g.gantic blue and white scarves and BULKY sweaters, the heart-rending sound of someone in the next room trying to play HI LILI on her new recorder, writers' crainp as you copy a two thousand word essay long hand, the boar's head at Christmas dinner and carol singing, the books and books and books you should be reading, the nasal hiss as your roommate reads her French out loud, the boys' raids along the steam tunnels and up the fire es- capes of the Women's residences, the friends you make from Trinidad, western Canada. Europe, Jamaica, Nova Scotia . . . I hope you like people. I should like to wish everyone at G.C.I. a successful year, especially Acta Nostra, And if you're coming to college, come to U. of T,-the more the merrier. Yours sincerely, Pat Little. Attending the University of Western On- tario are: JOHN FLEMING and ERNIE REID in Mathematics and Physics, BEVER- LY HALES, LLOYD HARLOCK and GER- ALD IRWIN in General Arts, JACK HUGHES in Medicine, DONALD SEARLE and BOB GORDON in Business Adminis- tration.

Hamilton Teachers' College, Hamilton. Ontario. January 10, 1957. Dear Alumni: Hin patet ingeniis campus is no long- er our motto, It has become docendo discimus -by teaching we learn-and after having spent only a very few months at H.T.C., we realize that this is true, for in our limited teaching experience and from the lessons college masters have taught us. we have learned a great deal about the profession we shall be entering next year Part of the time we spend as pupils being taught by masters in our crowded catacombs - the dim basements of two churches which are the present college quarters. In such dismal conditions it might seem that our spirits would be dampened, but we are all here for one purpose and we are a happy, enthusiastic group. Then. too, we shall soon be moving into the Palace , as we call our new Teachers' College building. When we are not in classes we are in the public schools on the other sidenof the desk, There we dilig:n.1y try to teach forty squirming youngsters something that has taken us three hours to learn the night before. Some of the things that hap-
