NORMAL SCHOOL LONDON ONTARIO] A.n Introduction and an A.dieu Leave me my dreams, my visions of tomorrow — What though today holds dreams I would forget? And what though joy too often walks with sorrow? Who faces with Hope, for him no bounds are set. 1 T THE moment of this book ' s going to press, the students of J the Normal School are immediately and primarily concerned X. with preparing for the final test. I am sure, however, that between the feverish periods of study and the anxious moments of writing they find time to plan for the future, to dream dreams of great achievements to be accomplished during the years beginning next September. Middle age may sometimes be reminiscent, but youth — and I am not confining myself to the youth of years — is always prophetic. It would be interesting to hear the plans, to see the visions, to understand the dreams, to have unfolded to one the aspirations, the hopes, the ambitions that are incubating in the one hundred and forty-five heads that are circulating through the class-rooms of this institution. It is well to design for the future, but it is more important still to carry out the design, or at least to keep on trying to carry it out. Hold the line is as good a formula for the game of life as it is for the football field. I offer the good wishes of the staff to one of the brightest, most cheerful, and most promising classes that has attended this school for some years.
