THE LITERARY SOCIETY O THE literary society goes much of the credit for the excellence of this year ' s activities. Needless to say, however, the Executive could not do all, and the students are to be congratulated for their co-operation. Each form took part in preparing a program and a judge would have found difficulty in making awards. The variety of the programs arranged revealed much latent talent. The Executive, itself, prepared many excellent programs, and it was through its efforts that a debate was arranged with Western. Choosing the debaters was a difficult task, as preliminary debates revealed excellent material. A vote of the students resulted in Miss Maryn Miles and Mr. Clifford Crumback being chosen to represent Normal, and although our debating team lost, it was not without a battle. All of us felt that our debating experience had been of great value. There are some of the Literary Society Activities which stand out in red letters. For those who would like to fasten a few forgetton links to their recollections, we have chosen a few of the most important and woven each into its separate history. THE AT HOME UR At Home will long be remembered as the most outstanding social event of the school year. On the evening of January the sixth, the mystic lamp of Aladdin led many a gaily attired couple toward the Winter Gardens. Here soft music soon carried us to terpsichorean realms, amid floating streamers, colored balloons and shaded lights. As dancing was the sole entertain- ment of the evening, the fleeting hours sped by on gliding feet. Shortly before midnight a dainty repast was served in a recess of this Fairyland. Mingling among our revellers were those bringing greetings from the sister schools of Hamilton and Stratford, charming all by their winsome personalities. All too quickly came the hour when we had to return to the realism of the outer world. Yet from fairyland, sweet memories of those happy moments still brighten that land of realism in which we must journey for so long. Page Thtrty ' one

NORMAL SCHOOL THE NORMAL LITE PERHAPS the most interesting work which the Literary Society undertook was the publishing of a school paper — The Normal Lite. For the first time in its history, the London Normal School published, every two weeks, a paper which was produced almost entirely by the School. From the more literary editorials, through Grins and Giggles to Juna ' s Advice to the Lovelorn, the paper was read with interest. Much credit is due the art editors, Miss Leda Brownlee and Miss Alyce Grainger, who produced such a variety of excellent cover designs. Miss Thelma Witherell was the editor-in-chief for the first term and had as her assistants, representatives from each of the forms. At the beginning of the second term, it was decided to have two editors, and the students chose Miss Winnifred Billingsley and Mr. Rogers Colgrove, who began with a new staff and continued the good work. Much of the success of the paper was due to the untiring efforts of Mr. Homer Kenny, its business manager. It is to his credit that the paper was a financial success, paying for itself and coming to the assistance of the Literary Society in time of need. We hope that succeeding years will be inspired by this beginning, and that when we return to Normal we shall still be receiving our Normal Lite every two weeks. Pogf Thmytwo LONDON ONTARIO OUR HALLOWEEN SOCIAL OUR Halloween party was a decided social success. Under Miss Ivy Truan ' s able directorship, a very fine and interesting program was prepared. After some rousing community songs in the auditorium, the Big Parade took place. Ghosts, gypsies, Indians, elves, fairies, our old- fashioned relatives and other interesting and comical people were repre- sented in that grand procession which journeyed through the corridors of the school in noisy merriment while Miss Emery, Miss Gahan, and Mr. McEachern acted as judges for the costume contest. Miss Alma Town- send and Miss Marjorie Walker, dressed as gentleman and lady of the 19th century, won the prize for the best costumes, while Mr. Rogers Colgrove, as a superfluous young lady in an enormous hoop skirt won the prize for the comic costume. We then proceeded in groups to explore the dismal murkiness of the black chasm in the gallery room, where invisible ghosts played havoc with us. After this harrowing experience we ascended to the gymnasium, where we were entertained with some very interesting games under the capable supervision of Miss Thelma Witherell and Mr. Homer Kenny. After this a very delightful lunch was served.
