NORMAL SCHOOL LONDON ONTARIO Our Visitors iT E owe perhaps more than we realize to our visitors. They have II J brought us a contact with new fields of work and pleasure, and fresh thoughts on the old. Even while the major part of their influence may prove transitory, there will still remain with us some thoughts, some ideas, otherwise ungained, to which we may turn in time of need. We had the pleasure of hearing addresses by Dr. Phair, director of the Department of Medical Health, and Dr. Conboy, director of Dental Hygiene. During the two days which they spent with us, we gained much useful information concerning their branches of health work. Dr. Amos gave a very interesting talk about the work which the Aux- iliary Classes are doing for school age children in need of special care. Professor Kingston of Western University used slides to illustrate his talk on Astronomy, Our Place in the Universe. He made an already fascinating subject particularly appealing. Misses Gilmore and Johnson, professional dancers of the city, entertained us for a while during one of our Literary meetings. Miss Gladys Tuless accompanied them. Miss Dobson of the Teachers ' Federation for Women, and Mr. Hall of the Teachers ' Federation for Men, visited our Literary Society one after- noon. They showed us the benefits we could gain through the aid of this Federation. Many students took advantage of this opportunity and became members of the Federation. Mr. Spettigue of the Bosch Lens Company, demonstrated how lantern slides can be used effectively in teaching. One of our most delightful speakers was Mrs. Davidson of the Home and School Federation. Her charming personality and wit added much to the interest of her talk which dealt mainly with the need of co- operation between parents and teachers in a community. Miss Duff, representing the Women ' s Christian Temperance Union, gave us some suggestions that we might use in teaching the chapter on Alcohol in the Health Book. She emphasized the importance of care- ful instruction on the problem of Temperance. Rev. Mr. Thomas, speaking in behalf of the Prohibition Union, spent a week with us addressing the student body each morning following the assembly. His talks were very instructive and contained interesting scien- tific data on the effects of alcohol. Mr. Dunlop, director of Extension Department of Toronto University, made a strong appeal to the students at one of our recent literary meetings for more advanced study after the Normal course. The last visitor was also a director of exension work, Mr. Thomas, representing Queen ' s University. Eleanor McRoberts Page Thirty-One

If a man does not make new friendships as he advances through life he will soon find himself left alone. A man should keep his friendships in constant repair. — Dr. Samuel Johnson. HE students of the London Normal School have had many enjoyable social functions at which they have been able to make new friends and keep these friendships in constant repair. Our first opportunity to really become acquainted with the staff was Dn the first Friday of the term when we were entertained by them. After games under the supervision of our masters were played on the campus, we adjourned to the school library where a social hour was spent over the teacups. Our first school party was held on October the thirty-first. As we entered the school we were told to descend to the eerie depths of the basement. Here everything was in darkness. Such ghasdy things we were told to touch. From the basement we ascended to the gymnasium. This had been decorated in keeping with the season, under Miss Miami Mitchell ' s supervision. The decisions of the judges were as follows : fancy costume, Miss Margaret Alexander dressed as a Japanese girl, original costume, Mr. Garnet Humphrey as a baby. The prize given for the best costume among the staff was given to Mr. McKone. Games followed under the (direction of Mr. Arthur Ward and ihis committee. Supper was served with Miss Dorothy Hackney as convenor. The students of this school sponsored a skating party at the arena on December the eleventh. After the party the students with some of their friends returned to the school where refreshments were served. On Friday, December the eighteenth our school was favoured with a visitor. Lucky it was the night of our Christmas party. The visitor was none other than Santa Claus (Mr. Garnet Humphrey). We were in the midst of enjoying games arranged by Mr. William Henderson when ihe arrived. We had a suspicion that Santa would visit us, so a Christmas tree had been decorated artistically by Mr. George Tait. Santa gave each good boy and girl a present. His duty done, Santa went on his way to distribute his other gifts. A buffet supper was served under the direction of Miss Alice Watterworth. The most formal social event of the year was the annual At Home which was held in the new ballroom of the Hotel London on January the thirtieth. The eager anticipation of many weeks was justfied by the success of the evening. The pretty frocks of the ladies and the black and white of the gentlemen ' s formal garb were enhanced by the coloured lights that played over the room during the dancing. Cards were arranged for those not caring to dance. Supper was served in the dining room. The committees in charge were headed by : Miss Dorothy Hackney, Mr. George Tait and Miss Dorothy Best. On Friday, March the twentieth a St. Patrick ' s party was held in the school. A programme, appropriate to the season was arranged followed by dancing. During Feburary and March three Household Science classes held afternoon teas for the purpose of bringing together the staff and their wives and various groups of students. The guests were received by two members of each class while tea was served from a prettily decorated table by the other members. Tea was poured by : Mrs. Prendergast, Mrs. Hofferd, Mrs. McKone, Mrs. Pickles, Mrs. Clarke and Miss Heffernan. In closing, the writer would like, on behalf of the student body to express thanks and appreciation for all that Miss Neville has done to make our social functions a success. Miss Alice Watterworth. 3 Page Thirty
