School Activities FORM I. Six months ago we were a group of thirty-nine students with but one common bond, our linguistic abilities. Within a short time, however, this heterogeneous crowd had been moulded into a harmonious group, under the enthusiastic leadership of Miss Adelaide MacKenzie. It was then we began to contribute as a unit to the co-operative work of the Normal School. Being the first division, we were called upon to give the initial form contribution to the programs of the Literary Society; a historical pageant. Songs and dances in keeping with the quaint costumes of the different periods added interest. Again, as members of Form I., it was our privilege to entertain at the first inter-form function. The members of the Staff and the Normalites of Form VII. were our invited guests. In the early part of the evening games were played. Later a banquet was enjoyed. The toasts proposed and the replies given augured well for the success of these meetings in promoting the spirit of good fellowship in the Normal. We played a part, too, in the sports of the school. Miss Ruby Emerson was elected leader in these activities for the girls of the Normal School. The basketball team, of which Miss Emerson is the captain, has selected some of its players from our form. To begin the New Year joyfully, a merry party, consisting of the students of our form, went to the Grand Theatre on January sixth. The play, Charlie ' s Aunt, was one of wit and humor. Miss Grace Scott was elected form representative for the second term. Miss Frances Martin suc- ceeded Miss Mary Fletcher as form editor for the school paper. Miss Carol Evans attended the At Home of our sister school at Stratford. For the London Normal At Home, Miss Agnes Webster was a convener for the decorations committee. In February we made two interesting visits, one to London Technical School, the other to the McCormick Biscuit Factory. On March eleventh, Miss Adelaide MacKenzie and Miss Lena Cline successfully supported the negative side of a debate, Resolved that China is justified in her treatment of Foreign Powers. On March 18th Form I. were again called upon to provide the program for the Literary Society. The meeting lent itself well to a Saint Patrick ' s program. A suitable atmosphere for the Irish music provided was created through the artistic decorations of the stage. The five delegates appointed to attend the opening session of the Court in the interests of the History Class were: Miss Grace Scott, Miss Lena Cline, Miss Doris Carter, Miss Adelaide MacKenzie, Miss Agnes Webster. Four soft-ball teams have been organized from our Form. These will take part in the sports of the School until the 1926-27 Normal year is over. FORM II. On Friday, November twenty-six, Form II. had charge of the program of the Literary Society. The introductory part, directed by Miss Ula MacKenzie, was taken by the girls, who, in suitable costumes, dramatized various old-time and popular songs while they were sung from behind the scenes. This ended with an original composition, a greeting to the students, sung by the entire group. Following this, Mr. Duffin and Mr. Boyce pre- sented a humorous skit, after which the boys pre- sented a shadow play entitled Cannibals and Missionary Meat. This clever presentation, directed by Mr. Finlay Stewart, displayed much originality and was also insrtuctive by way of show- ing the students what may be done in the line of moving pictures with a strong light and a sheet as the only equipment. On Monday evening, March seven, the Form II. students entertained the members of the Staff and the students of Form VI. at a delightful party in the gymnasium, which was tastefully decorated with crimson and gold streamers. The decorating was supervised by Mr. Elmer Lick. Guests were welcomed by Miss Lacuta Munday, Mr. Duffin and Mr. Pullen. In charge of the enter- tainment was Miss Agnes McNeill. The early part of the evening was spent in enjoyable games, followed by dancing. At nine o ' clock the guests were invited to the luncheon room, where safely shaded lights and candles made a pleasing spectacle. The refresh- ment committee, supervised by Miss Ula Mac- Kenzie, served the guests at small tables, which displayed the school colors in gold paper and red candles. At eleven o ' clock ended one of the most successful social events of the year. The meeting of the Literary Society of April the first took the form of a Mock Trial, in charge of the students of Form II. The charge against the prisoner, Mr. Gordon Duffin, was that of mudering the King ' s English and, as the students had recently visited the courthouse while the spring assizes were in session, it was possible to give a very real presentation of court procedure. Mr. Eldon Bicum acted as judge and Mr. Finlay Stewart and Mr. Elmer Lick were attorneys for the Crown and defense, respectively. Several witnesses appeared for each side, and the evidence produced was both interesting and humorous. Before the close of the meating the jury returned with the verdict of guilty, and the sentence was imposed by the judge. FORM III. The Social Career of Form III. was swift and short — beginning and ending with an afternoon tea on May 10, 1927. Swift, because our only social function was decided upon, planned and carried out in twenty-eight hours, to be exact. Short, because it was the only social affair in which the form, as a whole, indulged. Misses Marjorie Corless and Bul ' ih Small received the guests from Form V., while Miss Hay and Miss Gahan poured tea from a table centred with a large bouquet of red and yellow tulips. The color scheme, which was carried out again in the deco- ration of the lights and table, conveyed at once an effect of both spring and school spirit. Form III. also contributed its bit toward the Literary Society meetings of Friday afternoons. When we were first called upon to provide the program, we tried to display the dramatic ability hi various members of the form. This found a favorable outlet in a one-act comedy by Booth Tarkington, called Station Y. Y. Y. Y. Mem- bers of the cast included Misses Mae Linnell, Josephine Smith, Letitia Cuyler, Ruby Atchison, Dorothy Dulmage, Arah Johnston, Florence McFachern, Alma McGregor. Others who assisted with necessary but unseen work were Misses Grace Kains, Jean Mclntyre, Marjorie Corless, and Nettie Alderman. Our second offering to the Literary programs took the form of a Patriotic Pageant. Every member of the form, available, was used to represent the growth of Canada from the time of the Redskins and Jacques Cartier; through the settlement of various pioneers; through Confederation and the subsequent union of the whole Dominion down to Canada of the present day. This representation of a noble history was fitly concluded by a song, For Canada and the King. Now the school year is drawing rapidly to a close and our social functions are a thing of the distant past. We, the happy members of a form, outwardly carefree but inwardly conscientious, hope that our efforts have given pleasure to some of our school-fellows of 1926-7. 24
