4 f  t Education is Training in the Art of Livin THE YEAR-BOOK OF CLASS 1924-25 Published by THE STUDENTS OF THE LONDON NORMAL SCHOOL 11 By their fruits ye shall k?ww them OUR SCHOOL [normal school — — . • LONDON ONTARIO To the Graduating Class. Raise but the hand in gesture gay, And lo! there stirs a breeze, Which shall in time amid the planets play, And for a myriad years glide on its way, Seeking a goal beyond the Pleiades. HE end of the school year brings to you feelings of pleasure and regret: regret because of the partial severance of the many friendships and companionships formed during the past months; pleasure at the thought of having completed a task undertaken, and pleasure most of all at the prospect of a new adventure in life. On behalf of the staff of the school I wish you success. Success in life connotes a number of elements, one of which assuredly is ability to make a living — not ability to accu- mulate wealth, but to make a living with a little to spare for a needy one.

Last fall from earth ' s four corners Together here we met, Each with the firm resolve A training good to get. Nine months we ' ve worked together And sometimes too we ' ve played — We ' ve conquered difficulties And friendships true we ' ve made. Now comes the time for parting, And Normal ' s bonds we sever; For days, for weeks, for months we part, For years, perhaps forever. Some day, in earth ' s far reaches, Where ' er our pathway wends, Perchance we ' ll meet each other; Oh pray we ' ll meet as friends. H. E. C. Our readers ' attention is especially directed to the two poems in our issue on page 37. These delightful bits of verse are from the pen of Miss Anne Sutherland, of the Class of 1919-20.

Miller, McDougall, Tanner, Calder, Hogg, Lumley 34 [NORMAL SCHOOL j j LONDON ONTARIO GIRLS ' ATHLETICS Girls ' Basketball A meeting of the girls, held at the first of the year, elected Odessa Mcintosh as Athletic Repre- sentative. All girls who had formerly played on a school team were called together, and we held several workout practices. Gladys Tanner was unanimously chosen senior team Captain for the season. Our first game against an outside team was played in our gym., when St. James Anglican Church girls showed us some real basketball, winning by a large margin. Arts 28 challenged us to a game in the Oxford St. Gymnasium, where we fought our way to victory, mainly through the aggressive playing of Helen Moody. The University Orchestra, after the games, provided music for a short dance. A few weeks later the same performance, as far as the dance was concerned, was repeated, with Arts ' 27. But the result of the game was reversed. Just before Christmas we had the temerity to journey to St. Thomas without a single spare, to play the T. O. B ' s. We believe now that there is strength in numbers, because we were among the also rans at t he end of the evening. After Christmas, Mr. McKone came to the rescue of the team. Taking into hand a number of players, Mr. McKone put a large amount of his time and energy into his task. Soon he developed a team that, through intelligent combination plays, showed up favorably against some of the fastest teams in the district. Thanks to Mr. McKone ' s painstaking efforts, enough girls turned out to practices on Monday and Tuesday noons to make such workouts interesting and helpful. Following is a short summary of games played since Christmas: London East Collegiate (34) at Normal (15) — The first game after the rehabilitation of the team was played on January 29th. Margaret Hogg and Helen Moody were our chief scorers. London East Collegiate (16) vs. Normal (9) at London Central Collegiate, February 12th — Gladys Tanner, by clever guarding, and good playing on the forward line, aided materially. London Central (20) at Normal (17) — Technical fouls were very numerous in this encounter, played on February 19th. Normal displayed rather poor combination. Normal (32) vs. Arts ' 26 (7) at University Gym., Oxford Street — Played on Saturday, March 7th. Strenuous and clever playing by Mabel Miller was outstanding. Normal (32) at Woodstock Collegiate (22)— The one and only out-of-town game since Christmas was played on March 9th. Margaret Hogg and Helen Moody accounted for the entire score. Personnel of the Senior Team. Hogg, M. — forward — Pat was a fast player. Specialty, long shots. She played her position exceedingly well. McDougall — forward — Peggy is small and speedy. Very composed and level-headed during a game. Miller, M. — forward — Mabel is the smallest and fastest player of the team. A badly sprained knee prevented Mabel from taking part in the later games. Moody, H. — forward — Helen is the most ex- perienced member of the group. She accounted for a large percentage of the points made. Lumley, D. — centre — Dama showed her pep and enthusiasm in every game she played. A steady worker and a deadly shot under the basket. Calder, M. — guard — Marian is a general-utility player, but specializing on defense work. Admir- able team work with Gladys Tanner. Kidner, F. — guard — Florence is a live wire. A relatively newcomer to basketball, but intelligent, attentive repetition made for perfection. Mcintosh, O. — guard and manager — ' Dess oc- cupied a most difficult and thankless position, but carried on most capably. Good team work and heady position-playing are noteworthy here. Tanner, G. — guard and captain — Glad, was the hardest worker, and the most experienced defense player. Honorable mention. Although our successes were few, the interest in the game never decreased. We always had an interested crowd and an enjoyable time. Perhaps we are deserving of some leniency of opinion in regard to our defeats, as we could not obtain a coach prior to Christmas, and could work but two practices a week. Previous to Christmas the Senior Team line-up was: N. Andrewes, M. Calder, L. Freel, M. Hogg, F. Kidner, D. Lumley, I. Lutton, H. Moody, J. Salmoni, G. Tanner, I. Waddle. The Team takes this opportunity of thanking Miss Winnifred Prendergast for the valuable serv- ices which she has rendered the team. M. H., O. M., D. L. Interform Basketball Interform basketball was begun early in the Fall Term. Competition between the Forms was begun by challenges posted on the bulletins, to which the daring proclamation and the confident answer were affixed. Early in the term several interform games were played on Friday nights, preliminary to the boys ' games. These contests made the gym. echo with the enthusiastic cheers of the Form fans. Later a schedule was arranged for contests be- tween the different sections. In spite of the inter- fering French and Latin classes, quite a number of games were run off. Much good material was revealed for the Senior Team. A game of special interest was that between Sections V. and VI. Although Section V. emerged victorious, the contest was keen enough to hold the attention of the spectators until the end. The victors had the star player in the person of Margaret Hogg, who showed some good work on the Senior Team as well. Interform basketball was successful mainly by reason of the interest displayed throughout the school. Almost everyone had played while at collegiate, and thus was anxious to show her ability again. Line-ups of the different form teams: Section I.— S. Anderson, M. Boxall, M. Calder, M. Campbell, J. Kerr, I. Waddle, M. Whitehall, B. Witty. Section II. — A. Dickenson, D. Evans, Y. Gregory, F. Johnston, I. Lutton, V. McGee, J. McYettie. Continued on page 39.

The gentleman at the piano is Mr. Percy, our musical director. At the beginning of the year he tested the voices of all the students, and these seventy-five were chosen to form the Glee Club.

And we assure you, Mr. Visitor, that they are deeply grateful to Mr. Percy, who has expended much time and labor on the ( rlee Club. H. J. W. Imagery Song of Summer ' s End Gypsy feet, you may travel far from dusky forest and hill o ' dream, Bid good-bye to blossom and star, laughing water and sunset gleam, (But, primly walking in shoes of leather, You ' ll think of the lanes we tramped together!) Small brown hands, there are less-loved parts than building pillows of soft pine-needles, Weaving dreams where the sleek trout darts, strew- ing crumbs where a brown bird wheedles, (Sometime you ' ll tire of paper and pen, And then you ' ll dream of a brook again!) Little gay heart, when the world ' s way palls and paths of custom grow dull and drear, Come in dreams where the brown bird calls and stars and angels and God are near. (When daisies bloom and the Dawn ' s at seven Gypsy paths are the nearest Heaven!) I love to believe that the petals of flowers Are robes for the fairies, don ' t you? And that bits of star-crystal come down with the showers And diamonds grow in the dew, I am sure that God taught the canary his singing, And when I behold the moon rise, I love to imagine the angels are flinging Bright handfuls of stars in the skies. I think when a maiden who wears in her beauty A brown silken cap on her head, Becomes a good woman who glories in duty, God crowns her with silver instead; And old men whose faces are netted with wrinkles, I really believe, if you knew, Those furrows, just come in the wake of the twinkles, Are symbols of kindness, don ' t you? I think the fair rainbow that shines in the showers And blossoms in saffron and blue Is just a God ' s Acre of little dead flowers, All wrapped in their mist-shrouds, don ' t you? And birds up the great sunset stairway to Heaven, Low chanting their sweet vesper song, — ' Tis joy in the service their Master has given To render us all the day long! Oh what though the world ' s old Wiseacres have hurled My pleasant philosophy down, And tried to envelop my rose-colored world In a cloak that is ugly and brown! No cynical thrust and no pessimist ' s scorn May cross the far hilltop to see The world of Soul ' s Vision where Fancy is born, And Loveliness beckons to me! 37 NORMAL SCHOOL LONDON ONTARIO SOCIAL ACTIVITIES Masquerade On Hallowe ' en a strange throng passed up and down the central staircase, whose usual oaken dignity was transformed by crepe paper, cornstalks and grinning Jack-o-lanterns to weird black and yellow beauty. A Chinaman with yellow cap and long queue shuffled along with a decorous slant- eyed maiden in trousers. In a retired corner a vivacious Pierrette in black and white flirted with her enslaved Pierrot. A Colonial dame in rustling hooped skirts descended the stairs on the arm of a gentleman in plum-colored satin and powdered wig. At the foot they were accosted by a gay gypsy girl and a white-shrouded Death ' s Head, one offering a happy fortune, the other grim forebodings. Be- hind them came Jack Tar and Johnny Canuck, arm-in-arm with a pathetic-looking clown, and laughing uproariously as a chocolate belle up- braided her fickle Alabama sheik. Not a strange throng! If you looked closely, you saw a lock of reddish hair which betrayed the gentleman of the wig. Of course, you could not be expected to recognize in saucy Pierrette the demure little girl who teaches honor lessons every Thurs- day! The company gathered in the Auditorium to hear six very precocious youngsters heatedly debate the question of Man ' s vanity being greater than Woman ' s. After the costume prizes were dis- tributed, they divided. Some explored the dark corners of the school, up and down, where lurked most terrible but interesting horrors, the least of which was certainly not a skeleton displayed against the background of an Inferno almost worthy of a Dante. Others joined in playing the old traditional games like Spin the Plate and French tag. Still others danced impromptu num- bers in the aisle of the Auditorium. Wherever one went, however, everyone carried a bean-bag, and assiduously shunned the word no. At eleven the gaily-decorated gymnasium became the popular retreat of all, when an hour or so was spent in the consumption of a dainty and plentiful luncheon prepared by a committee of girls. As Normal students must spend nine or ten hours in study on Saturday, this was the final episode of a very pleasant, carefree evening. H. J. W. At Home At nine o ' clock on the evening of the twentieth of February, about seven hundred Normal students and their friends assembled in the ball-room of the Masonic Temple, which had been beautifully decorated for the occasion. The school colors, red and gold, were used in the graceful streamers which were festooned from the balcony rails to the centre of the room, where they were effectively gathered so as to shade the large pendant cluster of lights. Preceding the dancing, the company enjoyed a short programme provided by Miss Roussom, soprano soloist; Miss Gladys McEvoy, contralto; Miss Pauline Fitzgerald, violinist, and Miss Sybil Higman, reader. To the offerings of these talented people was added a selection by our own Glee Club double quartette, Messrs. Anderson, Ost, Bondy, Cushman, Beecroft, Elliott, McKenzie and Frank- lin. Mr. Percy accompanied the musical numbers. About midnight a luncheon was served in the green and white dining-room downstairs, after which dancing continued until two. The patrons and patronesses were Mr. and Mrs! Prendergast, Dr. and Mrs. White, Mr. and Mrs. Clark, Mr. and Mrs. Hofferd, Mr. and Mrs. Percy, Mr. and Mrs. McKone and Mr. and Mrs. Pickles. H. J. W. On the first Friday afternoon after the opening of the London Normal School of the 1924-25 class, a garden party was held on the Normal grounds. The object of this party was to get acquainted. To aid in this end, each student wrote his or her name and home address on a slip of paper and pinned it on his or her coat or dress, as the case may be. We thought this was the quickest and best means of introduction. After spending a pleasant hour together, lunch was served, and the greenhorns dispersed for the day. The next social activity of importance was the form weiner roasts. The first one was given by Form VII., and was held at Wonderland. It proved so successful that the other forms, in turn, followed the pace. As a result, weiner roasts were held at the Coves, at Beechers ' Grove and other places. Seventh Form seemed to be the most active along social lines, and they held a sleigh-load party, after which lunch was served at the L. N. S. Other activities which were common to all forms were basket-ball games, most of which were held in Oxford Street gymnasium. After these games we were entertained with dancing. A very important part of our Literary Society was taken by our orchestra, which consisted of several violins, a saxaphone and the piano. It was present and assisted in almost every meeting. We found special ability in Mary Adams as a pianist; in addition to her part in the orchestra she ac- companied a great many of the artists at Lit. — F. J. B. The funeral of a colored brother took place in Chatham, Ontario, the other day, and in the pro- cession walked a long line of mourners, each carry- ing a small tin pail. Why the pails? asked a bystander. We is buryin ' our late brudder, was the dig- nified reply. But, man, you don ' t take a tin bucket with you when you ' re going to bury a man ! Oh, yes, we does, boss, — when we go black- buryin ' . Judge — Have you anything to say, prisoner, before sentence is passed upon you ? Prisoner — No, your lordship, except that it takes very little to please me. How fitting, thought the silk stocking as it was rolled into place. Keep inside those fire lines, there ! But, I ' m a reporter. Well, if you want to know anvthing about the fire, read to-morrow ' s pape, . 38 Boys ' Sports Basketball proved to be the most popular organized boys ' sport at London Normal this year. However, some thrilling games of baseball, soft- ball, hockey and soccer were played by the boys against organized teams. Basketball took the greatest hold and drew the most spectators, partly because of the social activities connected with it, and partly on account of the experienced players, who combined to form one of the fastest quintettes London Normal has had for some years, dames were played with London South Collegiate, Westervelt Business Col- lege, Strathroy Collegiate, St. Thomas Collegiate Teachers, Dundas Centre Church, London Hast Collegiate, St. John ' s Church (St. Thomas), St. Peter ' s Arrows, and the various year teams and the Faculty of the University of Western Ontario. On the whole the team finished the year with a percentage of about .500. Considering the little practice obtained as a team, the reputation of the School was nobly upheld. The Team Bondy — Guard and centre. Played in Essex previously. A hard player. Lang — Star forward. The most experienced man on the team. A member of the one-time Juvenile Champs of Ontario. From St. Thomas Collegiate. McCorquodale — Utility man. Good on the offensive. Murray — A former Woodstock player. Long on the jump and the reach. Scobbie — Helped us in a couple of games. Smooth as a machine. Smith — Forward. A member of Strathroy ' s famous team. Quick, ever-moving. White — An experienced guard man from Sarnia Collegiate. Minto ' s knowledge added greatly to the success of the teams. OOL =pg LONDON ONTARIO ATHLETICS (Continued) Whiting — Another regular player from Strath- roy. A good man on the defense line. Fillmore — Tom ' s work as centre and guard was curtailed by the hockey season. Baseball and Softball both claimed much a I ten t ion on the Campus. One hard ball game was played, between the Firsts and the Seconds, the former winning. The work of Cantelon and White as the respective pitchers was outstanding, there being a total of Hi strike-outs. Two scheduled softball games were played with London South, the Normal team winning and losing. Soccer claimed the attention of the students dur- ing the latter part of the fall. Three games in all were played with London South, the district WOSSA champions. The School won two games and tied one. Some excellent material was avail- able, but so few practices were held, very little combination was worked up. During the winter, practices were held regularly by the hockey team, but owing to extenuating circumstances, only one game was played, if a game it could be called. For the boys handi- capped themselves by playing with one hand, and succeeded in defeating a picked girls ' team from the school by one point. Everything considered, the boys ' sport this year has been very successful. The only regret was that no inter-Normal games of any description were held. No doubt a great opportunity was neglected in this respect. W. E. L. Tennis Although there is no accommodation on the Normal School Campus for tennis, many of the students worked up an appetite for breakfast on the courts at Thames Park. There, games were invigorating as well as interesting. — O. J. M. Girls ' Softball Never before in the history of London Normal School have sports taken so firm a grip on the students. While basketball and hockey reigned throughout the winter, softball came in with a bound after Easter. Form B. organized a team and challenged any other form. Their challenge was accepted, and soon every form in the School had a team. An inter-form schedule was arranged to be played on the Campus, after school hours. The games received great support, both from the whole School and also local Collegiate students and passers-by. This, in no small way, accounted for the success which these games have had. At the time of writing, the semi-finals are being played off, and enthusiasm is at its height. The girls are very grateful to the boys who have so willingly and capably given their services in umpiring the games. — L. H. Girls ' Athletics— Continued from fiage 3o. Section III. — T. Fenwick, L.

J9 Mntoersitp of Toronto (The Provincial University of Ontario) THE Teachers ' Course has been arranged especially for those who wish to proceed to the B.A. degree while teaching. The lectures are taken either in Summer Sessions or in Teachers ' Classes which are held in the evenings and on Saturdays. Hundreds of Ontario teachers are now working on this Course. Recently an arrangement has been made by which Specialist standing can be secured by taking additional work after graduation. The degrees of the University of Toronto carry an unsurpassed prestige; they are held in high regard wherever the English language is spoken. No man or woman in any walk of life can afford to cease to be a student. Am- bitious teachers will begin to prepare now for the opportunities that the future will certainly bring.
