LONDON NORMAL SCHOOL C. E. MARK. B.A., D.Paed. Principal s Me ssdse to the CI dSS O f 1933-34 THE world is moving on and teacher-training is keeping pace with it. But a brief quarter of a century ago many schools in the province were under charge of teachers with but f our months ' training in a County Model School. Today the minimum requirement for a temporary certificate is one year in attendance at a Normal School. This year, for the first time, each Normal School has a large group of students back for a second year fulfilling the requirement for a Permanent Certificate. The work of this group has exceeded our expectations in the fine spirit of co-operation, in the attitude of appreciation, in their readiness to accept responsibility, and in their ability to make some positive contribution. These characteristics could only be shown, in such measure, by experienced students. The presence of this group has further exerted a most salutary and stimulating influence on those students who were being initiated into the work. It is our candid opinion that the Normal Schools have never before graduated so many teachers so well equipped to do credit to the profession they have chosen. Surely, we all, students and staff, have reason to be gratified at the prospect. Whether or not the schools can as yet absorb all our graduates, and whether or not salaries are restored to their proper level, it is evidence of progress, that the labourer is becoming steadily more worthy of his hire.

Page Seven PREMIER HENRY Message for the London Normal School With this message I wish to assure each teacher-in-training, now about to leave our Normal Schools, that, if a position is not immediately available, on account of conditions felt by other callings and professions at the present time, there is good reason for hoping that the skies are clearing and that our Province will at no distant date resume its wonted prosperity. I most fully appreciate the devotion to duty which has been so consistently characteristic of our teachers, and in which they doubtless have found, and will continue to find, their greatest joy. Now, as perhaps never before, do we realize the important part which our schools must play in the development of good citizens. Herein must our teachers strive to train the youth of our Province that they may love and covet those things which make for decency and honour, and to shun those influences which would tend to destroy that social fabric of which we as loyal Canadians are justly proud. In these schools you will find the opportunity to render worth-while service, and I am confident that you are well equipped for the task, in the accomplishment of which I bespeak for you every success. GEO. S. HENRY, April 12th, 1934. Minister of Education. Page Eight Appreciation IT h;is been said that competition is the life of trade. In reality it is co-operation that £;oes to bring success in any venture. And so it is in the compiling of a Year Book. Opposition by students or masters, spells failure, whereas a co-oper- tive feeling is certain to bring success. Thus It is with the deepest appreciation that we thank, firstly the masters of our school for so willingly giving of their time and knowledge, that our hook might be one, worthy of bearing the school ' s name. Linked with our appreciation to the masters goes our heartiest thanks to the entire student body. No editorial staff could have hoped to receive more help and consideration from the body which it represented. Our advertising staff has been an unusually efficient one. The returns from their efforts wiped away all our financial worries. Closely allied with the advertising staff go the names of our advertisers. Our appreciation to them can best be shown by our patronage. And now coming down to individuals. Firstly, we must mention Dr. Hofferd, our director and supervising editor, whose helpful criticisms and many suggestions greatly simplified our work. Mr. Black, of Photo Engravers, Ltd., and Mr. Franks, of Hayden Press, were more than business men — they were real friends. Space does not permit us to make mention of the many others who helped to make this book possible. It is sufficient to say that their efforts were appreciated in no mean way. And now our work is completed. The right to criticise is yours. In doing so please remember that the book is as you made it. We were merely servants putting as best we could your thoughts and actions into words. THE EDITORS. YEAR BOOK STAFF Bac}{ Row. — J. Antill, M. Robertson, K. Little, A. Grainger, E. Carter, W.

Kilmer (Assistant Business ManagerV Page 7 iine Editorial ' ' ' ' Boo s should to one of these four ends conduce. For Wisdom, Piety, DeUght or Use. IR JOHN DENHAM in penning these lines, expressed a thought which has a bearing on almost every conceivable type of printed material of today. In applying this quotation to our Year Book we must needs determine to which end our publication is fitted. From the standpoint of wisdom we feel that the book has something to offer. We generally understand wisdom as the knack of forming a sound judgment in a matter. Doubtless in reading this book you will form many judgments. As for gaining in wisdom, at present it will have little value. It is hoped, however, that in later years, it will serve as a memory preserver and an everlasting reminder of the most pleasant year in your experience. The word Piety, taken in a literal sense, has very little bearing on this publication. Viewing it from the honour standpoint the book should tend to keep alive that love for our Alma Mater which is so essential for the further well-being of our school. If our work has been truly successful the 1934 Year Book should be an everlasting source of delight to every student in attendance at this school. The pictures, the stories, the humorous touches, all should recall to the former student, contacts and never-to-be-repeated experiences, each of which is near and dear to us all. As for Use, little need be said. Probably the supreme reason for the existence of this book is that we as students may refer to it at will and establish therein, immediate contact with those who now are our class and school mates. Thus it is with some gleam of pleasure that we pass this year ' s review on to you. Our book, in place of leading only to one end, embodies to some extent all four. The name Spectrum conveys the main theme of our work to you. It signifies the breaking up of the various activities, both social and executive, of the school year, into their relevant parts and throwing the necessary light on each. Our book is a pioneer in its class. For the first time in the history of this school second- year students have been in attendance. In the preparation of this the 1933-34 Year Book the student and the experienced teacher have worked shoulder to shoulder in a spirit of perfect harmony. Now, more than ever before, it is necessary that this same spirit exists amongst all teachers. If we can travel hand-in-hand we shall reach our goal. Should The Spectrum do its part in furthering this end we shall feel that our work has been — well done. KEN PRUETER. Critic Staff W(rrtle Road School Mr. W. Wyatt Mr. a. p.

How happy we were to welcome you, and to receive your messages of inspiration and cheer. This year we have been particularly fortunate, for we have welcomed distinguished guests from almost every walk of life. First may we pay tribute to the Hart House String Quartette. Words cannot express our appreciation of their wonderful programme. Mr. Herbert, an eminent Shakesperian actor, gave a dramatic reading of Hamlet. Mr. Herbert is a very talented artist and his reading of this difficult play was admirably presented. Gold was the topic of an address by Dr. Allen Peebles. Although we as teachers, do not expect to acquire much gold, the discussion of this subject proved interesting and instructive. The University of Toronto was represented by Mr. Dunlop, who spoke on How to advance in the Teaching Profession. Mr. Dunlop warned us of the dangers of a pedagogical rut and urged us to advance academically. Dr. Kingston, of the Western University, gave an illustrated address on Astronomy. We have been promised a second visit from Dr. Kingston in the interests of Summer School Work. Miss Ruby Hamilton outlined the work of the Junior Red Cross Society and showed how this society is making the study of Health and Hygiene interesting and profitable. The Home and School Federation was represented by Mrs. Storey. The aim of this organisation is to foster cO ' operation between the home and school. Dr. Phair, director of the Department of Health, and Dr. Conboy, director of Dental Hygiene, addressed us in the interest of Health, Our Most Valuable Asset. This was presented under the headings of Teeth and Com ' municable Diseases. Rev. Dr. Thomas, of the Liquor Control League, spoke on Alcohol and Life. That this seeming dry subject was made interesting and instructive can be attributed to Dr. Thomas ' interesting manner and address. The Literary Society welcomed Mrs. Sipherd who read a paper on Marionettes and Puppets. Following this under the direction of Mrs. Sipherd and Miss Plewes the Marionettes performed in a series of short interesting plays. The field of Art was represented by Mrs. Plumb, a former London Normalite, who has gained recognition as an artist. Mrs. Plumb invited the students to an exhibit of her work at the Y. W. C. A. Miss Clara Horton, a director of Physical Education, gave an illustrated address on Posture which showed the value of physical education m correcting physical defects. Mr. Humphries brought us a most interesting illustrated lecture on British Columbia. Mr. Humphries ' hobbies are photography and travelling so that he was able to bring us a message decidedly different from other travel talks. MARY H. PRUETER, Form VIL Page Eleven M emorandd of Form HAVING just 550 words at my disposal with which to recall the achievements of Form I, I shall attempt to elucidate only a few of the most outstanding. Not unmindful of others, we are convinced that Form I has contributed more to the personnel of executives and the good of the school, than has any other form of the year. From the president of the Student Parliament to the humble rooter, from the speedy for- ward to the tenacious guard, the class has gathered in its honours. The claim is not with ' out substantiation. At least one of the Masters is not loath to confide that we do the best work. Speaking of personnel, do you remember the meetings in the gallery room? A mob of green youth had stormed the halls and craved attention. Out of the mouths of babes came wisdom, and Wm. Brundage was elected president of the Student Parliament for the first term. Tall, long-winded, studious, energetic — we could not have chosen better. Albert Durrant now represents us on this executive. How soon the youth matured! So it seemed when the literary programmes began. Roy Brown represented the school at the Public Speaking contest at Hamilton. The force of his delivery and the finesse of his material revealed exceptional talent. He also represented us on the Student Parliament executive. Yes, indeed! We had our share in matters literary. Myles Leckie presided over the society the first term. His energy recommended him to some, his curly head to others. Jack Durrant, responsible for many sighs from Form VII, filled the office of vice-president and guards the treasury of the Student Parliamant. Reaford Sellars is in charge of the treasury for the Literary Society. The quality and quantity of the athletic teams came from the form. There is Sam Munro, manager of the basketball teams, as light of feet and strong of wind for the game as he once was for reels and bagpipes. He was treasurer of the Student Parliament and is now president of the Athletic Society. Budd Courtney, captain of the basketball team, is a perfect shot and representative on the literary executive. Jack Stennett bids fair to being the all-around balancing wheel between athletic and social prowess. Harold Rivers, best described as Apollo, is a splendid athlete. Gene Tubaro, Hercules, vice-president of the Athletic Society, contrary to the legend of the ancient strong man, had sufficient executive ability to be secretary of the Literary Society, and enough rhythm to be a de- sirable dance partner. Ross McKay is the smallest man on the team, but there is none like him for fast play. The hockey team did not distinguish itself, for which we blame a lack of practice. Byron Wing, who represented the form on the Athletic Society, although married, is the best dressed man in the halls and plays hockey. Norman Stewart filled without doubt the position of goalee — a man built for the job. The team supported by Arnold Shewan, representative on the Athletic Society, and Marvin Rice, secretary-treasurer of the society, and representative on the first term literary executive, left little to be desired. Even the cheer leader came from the ranks. Glenn Kilmer, who owns one of the few desirable moustaches in the school, justified Miss Rider ' s faith in fundamental gymnastics. He also guarded the treasury of the Literary Society, and is assistant business manager of the Year Book. The very capable editor of this book was selected from Form I, in the person of Kenneth Prueter, who also represented us on the Athletic Society. Nor is this all. There are lads among us who do not claim the spotlight, but are responsible for oiling the academic wheels and giving impetus to the representatives; really fine fellows whom we shall look at in this book some day, and say, Glad I met you, friend, you were worth the year. It is finished, a year full, varied and interesting, we would not repeat it, but we look forward to its supplement. E. CAMERON STEER. orm GARLAND BARROWS Blytheswood, Ontario LESLIE O. BRAYFORD R. R.

N ews IN future years, when we of Form II are looking back on life ' s milestones, the year 1933-34 will stand above all the rest, and in our hearts will ever be reserved a place for dear old London Normal School. When we came last fall, we were strangers, but so many girls, really friendly at heart, could not long remain unacquainted. As we mingled in each class from day to day, we soon learned to know and appreciate the different girls who made up our form. Some were of the active, enthusiastic kind, some dependable, willing workers, but all were ready to play the part of teacher or student. Not only from our asscciaticns with the students in the Form were our lives enriched, but from the friendly spirit with which the teachers received us. Their genuine interest and understanding has indeed been a source of real inspiration to us. Early last fall. Form II elected their Form representatives to the various executives of the first term Literary Society, Students Parliament and Women ' s Athletic Society. These were Misses Mamie Cruickshank, Ruth Aylesworth and Margaret Crichton, respectively. In athletics. Form II has distinguished themselves. We have won many of the inter-form basketball games. However, that is not all! We are well represented on both the A and B basketball teams in the persons of Misses Dorothy Ccutts and Tessie Brackett on the B team, and Misses Ezma Fisher, Margaret Crichton and Imogene Eedard on the A team. The Literary Society meeting put cn l y Form II, on November 10th, was quite a success. It was in the form of a Remembrance Day programme. Those taking part in the programme were: Misses Inez Downing, Jean Allum, Mildred Burge, Imogene Bedard, Margaret Buttery, Velma Bowman, Edythe Carter and Doris Beeman. On November 13th, we, along with Form IV, entertained the first year men at a dance in the school, and all reported a good time. Miss Marion Bell and Miss Norma Brougham represented us in the preliminary debating contest, which was held to select a school team to represent London at Hamilton in December. Miss Brougham represented Form II in a similar oratorical contest. In the middle of January, the first term executives went out of office. The new representa- tives were: Student Parliament. Miss Jean Allum; Literary Society, Miss Inez Downing, and Athletics, Miss Dorothy Coutts. Miss Ruth Aylesworth and Miss Mamie Cruickshank represented Form II in the pre liminary debate for the selection of the team to meet Stratford, and Miss Brougham in the oratorical contest. We have indeed had a very happy Form-life together, and will long remember the vital friendships we have made with students and teachers.

H istory AND now we have almost reached the summit of the road through Normal School and are about to step off into the beckoning and uncertain future which lies as an untrodden path before us. We shall have difficulties to meet but, after all, we know of no heights worth-while striving for which were attained without much sacrifice and perseverance on our part. In our path through life, our minds will often revert to the pleasantest and happiest year we have yet spent, that of 1933 ' 34, m the London Normal School. As a member of Form III, it is my privilege to acquaint you with some of my outstanding classmates. In the beginning, may I tell you that we are a Form composed of thirty-nine of the jolliest girls you may find anywhere. So many worth-while and life-long friendships have been formed this year that it is with regret that we see June coming closer and closer when we shall see each other less frequently. Last fall when elections were being carried on, we looked around our Form to see who would make the best representatives. Our selections were wisely made, for we sent Esther Mackness to the first term Literary Society; Madge McKaig to the Women ' s Athletic Associa- tion; Anna Marsh to Students ' Parliament and Kay Little to the Year Book executive. Not a little of the school ' s talent comes from Form III. We have accomplished pianists in Anna Marsh, Bessie Kent and Lillian Howlett, who have so often delighted the audiences in Friday afternoon literaries. Jean Macdonald is our violinist and Clara Mulcaster our soloist. We wonder what Mr. Wheeler would do without Clara in the Operetta. Meryl Langford and Eleanor Miner represented Form III in the preliminary Public Speak- ing contest, the winners of which were to meet the Hamilton and Stratford contestants; while Clara Mulcaster and Madge McKaig upheld us in the preliminary debates. To the Basketball teams Form III has contributed most generously. Bessie Kent and Esther Mackness on A team, and Flossie Kirby, Kay Little and Anna Marsh on B team. In the beginning of the New Year, more elections were in order and this time we had the honour of having the Vice-President of the second term Women ' s Athletic Association in our Form — Miss Bessie Kent, and Flossie Kirby was our representative to that organization. Madge McKaig very ably upheld Form III in the Student Parliament, and the diminutive Lillian Howlett is a charming member of the Literary Society executive. To show the rest of the Normalites that the male sex are not indispensable to Form III we sponsored a most delightful St. Patrick ' s party on March 15th, without a man in sight. Miss Rider very kindly consented to be a member of our happy party. Form III with Form II entertained Forms IV and V and part of Form 1 to a charmingly appointed afternoon tea. Kay Little and Jean Allum acted as hostesses. This tea was voted one of the most delightful held in years. The kindly co-operation of our masters and instructors will be one of our happiest memories. May we ever strive faithfully to live up to the ideals which they have so earnestly set before us. KAY LITTLE. Page Eighteen Form III . — Continued MARION KOEHLER Duart.

H istory HEN the London Normal School was opened, in the year 1900, the students were not isolated into separate forms, and they were not taught as we have been taught during the past term. In the early days the Normal School bore the name Model School. It was here that those, wishing to learn the art of imparting knowledge to childhood, came to learn the methods that were modern then. We, like them, have assembled for the term 1933-34 to learn the improved and more numerous methods. Though there have been many Form IV ' s since the London Normal School opened, the Form IV of the 1933-34 term takes second place to none of them. The representatives to the first term executives could not have been excelled. Eileen Wing worked for the Literary Society, doing everything possible to make the meetings a success. Catherine Zavitz capably filled the position as representative to the Student Parliament, working along with the others to plan and carry out the work of that organization. Harvey Fenton was our contribution to help make up a good Men ' s Athletic Association, taking part in basketball as well. Florence Rush was our representative to the Girls ' Athletic Association, besides taking a prominent place on the girls ' basketball team. Jack AntiU was appointed Form editor for the Year Book staff. Although we were well represented on the first term executives, those selected to the second term are doing equally as well. Edith Reid for the Literary Society, Daisy Whitehall for the Student Parliament, and Dorothy Ross and Arthur Scott for the Athletic Society. Along with good representatives, Form IV contributed to almost every activity during the term; the boys ' and girls ' basketball teams, boys ' hockey team and social committees. A man from Form IV was chosen for president of the second term Literary Society, in the person of Bill Hogg. A girl from the Form, Florence Rush, was chosen president of the second term Girls ' Athletic Society. The girls of Form IV were honoured by the presence of ten men, the only girls in the first year given this privilege until someone decided that the girls of Form V should share the same good fortune. From that time on, the ten men spent their time equally between the two forms. The term 1933-34 has been a happy and successful one for Form IV and although there will be many more such forms in the future, we feel that we, along with our predecessors, have set a standard worthy of them to follow. To them may we say : To you from busy hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. JOHN C. ANTILL. Page Twenty-one Form IV. — Continued CLARE TENNANT R. R.

Reminiscences THE first few weeks of school were spent en masse, in the Assembly Hall where we mingled and met our fellow students, in the realization that some one or more would be our teaching partners in the none too-distant future. Before we were too fully engrossed with studies, lesson plans and periodic tests, we were delightfully entertained at an informal gathering, which took place on the spacious lawn of the Normal School. It was a beau- tiful, bright day, and the highly jubilant spirit of the student body reigned supreme. The contagion spread as was quite evident in the passers-by, who stopped and gazed in wonderment, and felt too, the urge in their hearts to laugh and be gay. The serving of refreshments by the masters and their wives at the close of the day seemed to cement together that happy relationship which existed between the masters and the students at the London Normal School. Before many weeks had passed, various elections took place within the different forms. Margaret Howard was selected Literary representative; Ethel Turner unceasingly carried out her duties as Students ' Parliament representative, as did Patricia Sheridan, who was chosen as Athletic representative for our Form. Their term of office came to a close at the end of January, and at the beginning of the second term, new representatives were elected to the various positions. The Literary representative this time was in the person of Margaret Campbell, while that of the Students ' Parliament was thrust upon the small but sturdy shoulders of Elizabeth Botsford. Ethel Turner, whose keen interest in Athletics was evident at all times was at this time chosen Athletic repre- sentative. When it came our turn to present the programme in the Literary Society, our thoughts naturally turned to those among us who were most talented. Our decision to make a presentation on Canadian poets, ably supported by our most capable and co-operative fellow classmates, gained considerable favour. The rest of us gave them our hearty support, and when a whole Form enters whole-heartedly into any enterprise, it is sure to be a success. One of the most interesting features of the programme was the huge book entitled Canadian Literature, which stood in clear view. Margaret Woolcott, artistically inclined, designed the cover, and it was under and behind this cover that the works of some of our Canadian poets lived once again. Some of the interesting selections were offered by the following members of Form V. Queenie Close, in her quiet, reserved sort of way, gave Snow, and her costume of heavy white sweater and toque to match, helped everyone to visualize fully the scene depicted. Eileen Willis, who gave a very lovely piano solo at the beginning of the programme, ably assisted Miss Close in her presentation by softly accompanying her on the piano. In the Solitude of the City and My Financial Career, were cleverly done by Genevieve Culnan and Jeanne Dawson. A very remarkable and interesting bit of work of Robert Service ' s was that of The Cremation of Sam McGee, so inestimably offered by our talented reader Hazel Charlton. Her vivid portrayal of the ghost-like character of Sam McGee actually made our blood run cold. The lines in which the frozen corpse seemed to speak for itself, were realized to the full by the death-like whisper in which Miss Charlton uttered them. Her unfailing efforts won for her the heartiest applause. Margaret Howard, being the Literary representa- tive for our Form, gave her services as chairman for the afternoon. On March 12th from 4.30 to 6.00, the masters and their wives were entertained at a tea by a number of the girls from Forms IV and V. The young men and women from other Forms, all first-year students, were invited to attend. Miss Margaret Campbell acted as hostess with Miss Margaret Howard assisting. Miss Neville acted as Honorary Hostess, tea being served in the Domestic Science classroom, with Mrs. Pickles and Mrs. Wheeler pouring tea. Now, as the year draws to a close, some of us will go ever onward, making teaching our illustrious careers, while others of us may settle down to the school of one. And so we go our several ways, Happy to meet. Sorry to part, Happy to meet again.

Re miniscences SINCE histories usually start with a date, the history of Form VI must not differ in this respect. On September nineteenth, nineteen hundred and thirty-three, a number of student teachers at the call of the Department, appeared at the London Normal School. Forty-one from among this number were set aside in one grci p and designated for the school year as Form VI. In the history of the Normal School Year 1933-1934, Form VI has played a very important part. In the first place it has the unique distinction of having among its number all the second-year first-class men. Secondly, it contains the leading ladies among the second-year first class women, for does it not include all the ladies who come first alphabetically from B to K ? As a Form it is noted for its powers of discussions during lessons, the general intelligence of its members and its excellent literary programme during the second term. If we take the Form in groups alphabetically, we find among the ladies. Busy B ' s from Barber to Burgess, Capable C ' s from the Campbells to Curne, Dainty D ' s both Dean and Dunford, Efficient E ' s in Eagen and Ellis, a Faithful F in Flanagan, three gay G ' s from Graham to Guest, a happy H in Holmes, a Joyful J in Johnson and a Kindly K in Kilpatrick. Among the men we have four clever C s frcm Campbell to Cuyler, three Dauntless D ' s from Davies to Drake, a Fearless F in Froud, a helpful H in Hughson, a Jaunty J in Jarvis, a Kingly K in Krause, a Lusty L in Lane, a Notable N in Nott, two Sunny S ' s in Shewan and Silcox, and a Willing W m Wood. As space here does not permit me to deal with every member individually, I must choose those outstanding, and rr.ention the achievements accomplished by them. In our Hall of Fame we must hang several portraits. We will have that of Miss Isabel Bradish, who is the noted school artist, one of the leading actresses on our play Hamlet and our first term representative to the Literary Society. Beside her photo will hang that of Miss Mildred Campbell. Mildred also played a leading part in our play, served the school as vice-president of the Girls ' Athetic Society during the first term and as vice-president of the Student Par- liament during Its second term. Miss Winnifred Billingsley will also occupy a space in this Hall of Fame as a school debater, a winner in the musical Essay Contest and as the Form Editor for the Year Book. The portrait of Miss Jessie Eagan as secretary of the second term Student Parliament, will also be found among this number. Nor must we overlook our other representatives, Miss Esther Dean and Miss Sadie Currie, for the first and second teiirs Girls ' Athletic Societies, respectively, and Miss Molly Ellis for the second term Students ' Parliament. Miss Marjorie Dunfcrd who gave the Introductior s to the Scenes from Hamlet, produced by the Form for the Liteiary Society, and Miss Katherine Bell, the capable convener of Badminton, also deserve mention here. Our men are no less famous ar d scire of them must occupy a prominent place in our Hall of Fame. Among our number we have the business manager cf the Year Book, Mr. Harold Cowden. We also have the other winner in the Mutical Essay Contest, Mr. Neil Dowding, the first term president of the Boys ' Athletic Society, Mr. Marvin Krause, the second term president of the Students ' Parliament, Mr. Murray Hughson, one of the school orators; Mr. Len Wood, the president of the second year Student Body, Mr. Everett Drake and the leading scientist, Mr. George Nott. Here we also find some very famous actors : Mr. Roger Campbell will always be remembered as the Ghost of Ham- let ' s Father; Mr. Silcox and Mr. Drake as Hamlets; Mr. Krause and Mr. Wood as Marcellus and Horatio, respectively. We are proud to possess among our number also, three basketball stars: Messrs. Hughson, Dowding and Krause, two hockey stars: Messrs. Shewan and Cuyler; three badminton stars: Messrs. Krause, Fround and Cowden. Then we must remember our men representatives: Mr. James Silcox for the first term Students ' Parliament and Mr. Jeff Cuyler for the second term Literary Society. Mr. Shewan and Mr. Cress for the first and second term Boys ' Athletic Societies, respectively. Now you can easily realize the outstanding place Form VI has taken in the Normal School activities for the Year 1933-34. I don ' t think any Form can surpass this record for ambitious and energetic workers. If our Form had a motto, I think no other would be more fitting than this: We serve. The social function of the Form should be mentioned too. The girls held a theatre party and enjoyed Carolina with Janet Gaynor. This was followed by games and refreshments at the home of Miss Betty Blair. The next morning after the party, two presentations were made, Messrs. Krause and Hughson were presented with all-day suckers in token of good sportsmanship. Now a history to be complete should give the outcome of all these events. The immediate outcome is very success- ful, the remote outcome is yet to be discovered and will be told in June by the individual members.

H istory SEVEN is lucky, sages say, and that is what we in Form Seven, of the London Normal School will he hoping when in June we leave to resume our chosen profession once more. There have been times in the past year when, perhaps, we have felt discouraged but, on looking back, we realize with pride that we have contributed our share of bright lights to every phase of Normal School life. Many of our number have served on executives, committees and teams, and ably proven their worth. In the Literary Society we have been represented by Grace Slaght, Helen Truan and Agnes Murray; in the Athletic Association by Alice Watterworth, Margaret Plewes, Margaret Lumley and Kathrine Porte, and our voice in the Student Parliament expressed by Margaret Purvis and Marjorie Steadman. Members of Form Seven may have been found taking part in every activity of the school. First and foremost is Ivy Truan. When songs are to be practiced, programmes arranged, and every morning for opening exercises the demand is always, Find Ivy. In the field of sports the names of Alice Watterworth, Marjorie Steadman, Marjorie Stephenson and Grace Slaght were known. Then, too, we may well be proud of the literary accomplishments of Miss Helen Truan, who won the public speaking contest in Hamilton, and Miss Mary MacCormick, who was a member of the successful debating team against Stratford. Worthy mention must also be made of Margaret Plewes ' marionette performance, and the splendid vocal solos of Margaret Rickard and Dorothy Zavitz, which formed the nucleus of our literary programme. Though only a few names have been given, I feel confident that if space allowed, I could very easily write a great deal more about Form Seven. Let it suffice to say, however, that every- one in the class has at one time or another exhibited the qualities of a good teacher, namely: punctuality, as noticed in our record of eighteen who have been neither late nor absent; co- operation, as exemplified by being the first form to have one hundred per cent, membership in the student parliament and a sense of humour known to all.

Under the capable direction of Mr. Charles E. Wheeler, it has made exceptional progress during the last year. To relieve Mr. Wheeler of some of the responsibility, the following executive was appointed : President, Mr. Lusty; Secretary, Miss C. Mulcaster; Librarian, Mr. J. Durrant. The work of the Club this year took the form of a Japanese Operetta entitled The Japanese Girl. Considerable labour was expended on the pretty costumes and picturesque stage-settings. For this work our thanks are due to Miss I. Bradish and Miss K. Bell. A great deal of the success of the undertaking belongs to Miss Gahan and Miss M. Plewes, who gave so unsparingly of their time and energy. Mi ss C. Zavitz played the lead. As the charming young Japanese belle, O Hanu San, she portrayed her part exceedingly well. A major portion of the honours go also to Miss M. Rickard and Miss D. Pierce, as friends of O Hanu San; Miss C. Porte, as the English schoolmistress; her two pupils, Miss E. Willis and Miss D. Whitehall; Chaya, the servant, played by Miss K. Little; and Miss D. Zavitz, the Japanese singer. We say, without hesitation, that the enjoyable evening which the operetta afforded was a worthy reward for the work it entailed on the part of the members of the Glee Club, and speaks well for the future of music in our public schools.

The L iterary Society ON Friday morning, October 6th, elections were held which placed four surprised and inexperienced young men in the offices of the Literary Society of the school. In the following week, these men could be seen, hurriedly com- pleting plans for the first meeting which was held on Friday, October 13th. Although the day was foreboding and the officers inexperienced, the meeting was quite a success. One item on the programme was a speech from the hon- orary president, Mr. Clarke, which encouraged and inspired the new executive to diligent and untiring effort. On Thursday, October 26th, the Hallowe ' en party of the Normal School was held. On this night, the Literary Society sponsored an hour ' s programme in the auditorium. Numerous ghostly events took place and the proper mysterious atmosphere appropriate to the occasion was developed. After the programme, the audience paraded up to the gymnasium for the dance. A very pleasing meeting was held on Friday, November 10th. The talent was provided by Form II with Miss Mamie Cruickshank presiding. The programme consisted of numbers pertaining to Remembrance Day and memories of the war. This meeting will always be well remembered by the students. In the following meetings, the Literary Society was engaged in the task of selecting debaters and orators who were to represent the school at Hamilton on December I6th. These preliminary contests were held in the various meetings of December. On December I8th the Normal School Christmas party was held under the auspices of the Literary Society. A play entitled Evening Dress Indispe nsable, under the direction of Miss Jean Lee, constituted the programme. After the entertainment, there was a dance held in the artistically decorated gymnasium. Early in January our term of office came to an end and our positions were refilled with new officers. To them we wish every success in their work. j j YLES LECKIE, President.

Second Term Literary Society THE programmes of the Second Term Literary Society maintained the standard of excellence set by the first, as the school year progressed. This was due to the efforts of a very capable executive, and a co-operative student body The members of the society may be congratulated on the efficient way in which they presented plays, debates, and the amusing antics of Marionettes. Shakespeare ' s Hamlet provided the material for a very interesting and instructive programme. Scenes taken from this play were very capably enacted by members of the Second Year. Returning to the modern age our next literary programme took the form of a debate concerning Japan ' s occupation of Manchuria. In startling contrast to the long drawn-out conferences at Geneva, our clever Normal students, in less than an hour settled this mighty problem of the East. Leaving the old world dramatics and present day difficulties, the next programme was the presentation of a Mario- nette performance. An enlightening history of the Marionettes was given, followed by a demonstration, the excel- lence of which could be best judged by the appreciative applause of the students. Worthy of mention also, were the readings and various kinds of musical numbers, including community singing, which are so necessary for a well-balanced programme. From this brief summary, we can safely say that the instruction and entertainment provided by the 1933-34 Literary Society will always be considered as one of the happiest memories of our Normal School year.

Why, the Student Parliament, of course. The Student Parliament, headed by the executive body, known as the Cabinet, although only in the second year of its existence, has already proven itself worthy of the place it holds in Normal School life. For, not only is the Parliament the premier student organization, but it forms as well the exchequer and the student court of the London Normal School. This latter function has never been made use of, thanks to the good conduct of the members of the student body. Since the students are told that, they are the cream of the High Schools of Western Ontario, they must live up to this qualification; but, as a financial organization the Parliament has weathered some stormy sessions, not only before the assembly, but in the Cabinet as well. By centralizing the levying and dispersing of fees in this one organization, considerable of that rare substance, called money, has been saved for the students. This may not be apparent at first, but if it is remembered that the original total budget was cut by at least ten per cent., and that expenditures from the remaining accounts have been kept as meager as possible, the truth of it will be seen. This saving has been due not only to the eagle eyes of the treasurer, but to the frugality of the other Cabinet members. Never was there better co-operation between the members of an executive than between those of the Cabinet. Every one worked in the interests of the school as a whole. To have been a member of this Cabinet has been no idle honour. This august body has sat in meeting every week, with sessions often so long that adjournment was forced by the pangs of hunger, or by Mrs. Barnhard and the gong. And these sessions have not been taken up with matters of trivial estate, but questions of great gravity and consequence have met their doom behind the doors of Dr. Mark ' s classroom. Two Inter-Normal meets have come and gone, each demanding its share of planning, scheming and worry. The annual At Home entailed its quota of arguments with taxi companies, caterers, and orchestras. The Constitution was overhauled, clauses cut off here, others added there, with the final product emerging as a masterpiece of democracy. So we see that, in spite of all the scowls and jibes, scoffs and sarcasms, the Student Parlia- ment has carried on. Sometimes on stormy waters, sometimes on smooth, the Cabinet has grappled with many a monster, hoping in the end to hear, Well done, good and faithful ser- vants. May we, who have served as members of the Cabinet, commend to the Student body our efforts on their behalf, and may those who follow in our footsteps, through the years to come, accomplish even greater things than we.

These students have been drawn together by a desire for fellowship with others who know the power of a risen Christ in their lives and those who desire such a knowledge. The spirit of these meetings is well expressed by Joshua: Choose you this day Vv ' hom ye will serve. . . As for me and my house we will serve the Lord. (Joshua 24:15). The challenge which Joshua made so many years ago can be made with as much justification today and will bring blessing to those who make the same choice as Joshua made. The Gospel of John has been read and discussed with much interest and profit by those who attend. Some have as a result, come to see that Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God, John 3:3, and realize that they lack power to live pleasing to God. As the study progressed through the Gospel, it became apparent that the Lord Jesus Christ could supply that power: I am come that they might have life and that they may have it more abund ' antly, John 10:10. Aso that we must humble ourselves before the Lord Jesus Christ for He said: I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, no man cometh unto the Father but my Me. John 6:30. We trust that the future students will also enjoy the Christian Fellowship and prove His promise: My peace I give unto you, not as the world giveth, give I unto you. John 14:27. GOLDIE COLE, Form VIII. The P-T Class KEEN dissappointment was felt by the second year students in particular, last October, on learning that no course leading to an elementary certificate in Physical Training was to be given at London Normal. A petition was cit ' culated and presented to the Department of Education by a representative committee. The male portion of the student body was unsuccessful, but a class was organized for the women of the second year. Miss Marian Henderson of the L.C.C.I. staff was appointed to teach gymnastics on Saturday mornings and swimming on Wednesday nights, while Miss Doris Rider, B.A., added dancing on Wednesday afternoons as well as her regular Physical Training periods. Gymnastics, dancing, swimming, anatomy studies, teaching methods and games keep the girls busy. Indeed they have no spare time. If anyone should view unusual gyrations and contortions, these will prove to be identifications for the workers of this class in Physical Training. Much benefit is being derived from this course. It is hoped that it may be available to all future classes. MARGARET E. PLEWES, Form VII. Page Thnty-mne FIRST TERM ATHLETIC SOCIETY Bac Row: — H. Fenton, K. Prueter, H. Cowden (Sec.-Treas.), B.

Naturally the problem of finding out who were and who were not athetically inclined presented itself. Under the capable coaching of Sam Munro, and the management of Murray Hughson, two girls ' basketball teams were organized. To these two men much praise is due for their untiring efforts. The two teams entered the City Basketball League, one in the A ' group and one in the B group. Many of the games were played at the Y. M. C. A. and afforded the basketball enthusiasts much excitement and enjoyment. Let us lustily sing the praises of the B team, who were victorious m winning the city championship! Six teams were entered in the B league and during the entire season our girls lost only one hard ' fought game, and that to the Elmwood team. The A team had a successful season and lost only to the strong London Life team. The position of captain of the A team was filled by Inata Babcock, who proved to be the backbone of the team. Inata comes from St. Thomas, bringing with her exceptional scoring ability. Florence Rush, speedy, diminutive forward, be gan her basketball career at Adam Beck Collegiate, London, and proved a source of worry to many opposing guards. Elizabeth Kent, another of Beck Collegiate ' s star forwards was the third member of the strong forward line. Ezma Fisher, a quick and alert guard, comes to us from Tillsonburg High School. Her straight pass brought many a score to the team. Margaret Crichton, another reliable guard, comes from Walkerville Collegiate Institute and brought all her enthusiasm for basketball with her. Esther Mackness, from Chatham Collegiate Institute, was an energetic and willing guard. Alice Watterworth, of St. Thomas, Ethel Turner and Alma Townsend, of Windsor, were our never-faihng substitutes, who always played effectively when needed. The position of captain of the B team was adequately filled by Jean Fry, of Walkerville, who proved to be one of the best guards in the school. Tessie Brackett, Imogene Bedard and Margaret Campbell all came to us from Ridgetown. These three speedy players composed one of the best forward lines m the City League. May Ridgetown send us more like these! Imogene was moved up to the A team during the season and her place was filled by Kathleen Little, petite and extremely good forward from Essex High School. Dorothy Coutts, that tall, straight guard, was a graduate of Central Collegiate, London, and was most efficient as a forward, also. Flossie Kirby, of Merlin High School, was a clean, steady player and a good defence. Anna Marsh, of Sarnia Collegiate, could be placed to advantage on either the forward or guard line. Thelma Sheriff comes from Walkerville Collegiate Institute and was a valuable substitute. JEAN E. LEE Page Forty-one JUNIOR GIRLS ' BASKETBALL TEAM MuNRo (Coach), M. Hughson (Manager), D. Coutts, M.

Thus ends each stanza of Henry Newbolt ' s Vitai Lampada ' In these words lie a standard which every human may well follow. No matter what field one chooses for his life-work, success depends a great deal upon whether one plays up and plays the game. Athletics are no exception to this rule. Being a good loser as well as a good winner is an essential factor in sports. The executive for Men ' s Athletics, the members of which are mentioned in the form histories, was one of the first to be formed. Under its guidance, few of the fine fall days lacked a soft-ball game, either between Forms or picked teams. Many games were the result of good-natured boasts, taunts, and challenges. Once the second-year men became so bold as to challenge the first-year men for supremacy on the soft-ball diamond. With the end of soft-hall weather, the men turned to the gymnasium and basketball. The team scon entered the City League, much to the discomfort of the other entries. After a few games in the league the Normal quintet were well worthy of mention. At the end of the series the city championship was tucked under their belts. After becoming city champions, the London men were able to give the Stratford team some basketball technique at the Inter-Normal Meet. Although hockey does not play such an important part in the London Normal athletics, the school is proud of her puck-carriers. The men on the team did their share to uphold the crimson and gold of L. N. S. Besides in basketball and hockey, the male students were well represented on the badminton courts. Although few people saw these bird-batters at practice, their supporters got a real treat when the London players took three of the five games from Stratford. The colours were carried in these events by Marvin Krause, Myles Leckie, Ronald Froud, and Harold Cowden. A poet once said, In the spring a young man ' s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. This may be true, but around the L. N. S. they turn to thoughts of outdoor sports, such as soft- ball, baseball, tennis, and Sunday evening walks. With the drying up of the excess moisture these games will soon be in full swing. If the girls swing tennis rackets as ably as they do bad- minton rackets, the men will find ample opposition. Last, but not least, must be mentioned the games played in the gymnasium under the direc- tion of Miss Dons Rider. The prize for Duck Walk goes to Harold Pillon of first year, and the prize for Drilling Wooden Soldiers goes to Roger Campbell and Donald Lane of second year. A better group of clean players and good sports never assembled at any school. In any line of sport the men kept Henry Newbolt ' s words foremost in their minds. Play up ! play up ! and play the game ! Page Forty-three BOYS ' BASKETBALL TEAM S. MuNRO (Coach), G. Tubaro, B. Courtney, M. Rice, M. Hughson, R. McKay, H. Fenton, N. Dowding, M, Krause, Mr. McKone.

Very little of the term had passed before the men were practising in the school gymnasium to find out just who were going to be on the Normal line-up. As a result of this, the following were chosen to carry the crimson and gold: Sam Munro, Gene Tubaro, Budd Courtney, Marvin Rice, Marvin Krause, Harvey Fenton, Ross McKay, Murray Hughson, and Neil Dowding. From the first of the series, victory was a common occurrence for the Normal basketeers over any challenging team. Just before the end of the first term the team was shaken by a mis- fortune suffered by their captain, Sam Munro, a former Western star, when he tore the ligaments in his right arm, putting him off the team for the rest of the season. Although he could not play, he worked with the team from the side line, correcting their weak points. Whatever games the men have won, they did so by clean playing, showing the best of good sportsmanship, taking a defeat as good-naturedly as a victory. Men ' s Hockey NEXT to basketball, hockey ranked highest in the sports at L. N. S. It has to take second place for several reasons. It cannot be played for as long a season as basketball. When It is able to be played, the only place available for playing costs so much that it eats a large hole into the Athletic fund. Despite this disadvantage, the puck carriers have shown that they are right there when opportunity knocks. The Normal thanks Thamesford for sending Arnold and Boyd Shewan and Bill Hogg, three players who did their bit for the crimson and gold. Most of the Normalites saw the men in action against Stratford at the Inter-Normal Meet, and they really saw something worth while. No matter how the Stratford team tried to get down to the London goal, there was always a London player to take the puck away from them and send chills up and down the spines of the Stratford supporters. Just to show that it could be done, the London men held Stratford at a 0-0 score until the full time was played. At this time London remembered that they had visitors, and as Dr. Mark explained to Stratford in the evening, London was courteous enough to let them score two goals in the overtime, giving them the first event, but taking the spoils later in the day. Although basketball has the lead in sports at present, if it lacked the above advantages, basketball and hockey would have a battle-royal for first place in the minds of sport fans at the London Normal School. JOHN C. ANTILL. Literary Lords ' Cricket Ground • IT must be intermission, I thought, entering Lord ' s cricket ground; so many people were passing in and out the entrance gate, and strolling leisurely about the ground. What a gorgeous dress! — No, the game was still in progress, that never-ending, unexciting game. Just look at that hat! No wonder the people were passing to and fro — everywhere, except of course on the cricket ground proper. Apparently they came, not to see, but to he seen. Between two of the carriages one could catch a glimpse of immaculate white figures on velvety green grass. A feeble clapping from the stand told us that somewhere on the green a play had been made worthy of that applause. From the stand we could look with envious eyes upon the more fortunate carriage class directly below us. They — lucky creatures — with the privacy of their own carriage; their maid, fluttering about looking after their every want and serving iced tea, lemonade, and dainty cakes; their place of advantage to see the game; and not the least — their excellent position to be seen and admired! With what pride the fathers and sons escorted their women-folk — perhaps as Soames Forsythe had done at a similar Eton and Harrow match. He had not been at either school — took no interest in cricket, but he wanted Fleur to show her frock, and he wanted to wear his top hat — parade it again in peace and plenty among his peers. The players had ceased and gone off the field — intermission for tea. Those who had been fortunate enough to have had theirs before the rush were on the green. Here, in the interval, were all species of female and one species of male hat protecting the multiple types of face associated with the classes. I wondered how many of those six thousand top hats had been taken out of their moth balls and aired the week before the game. And how many daughters had dragged their mothers, with their fathers pocket books, to this and that store picking out the charming frock and the hat that was so becoming. There ' s a strike for you! came from an onlooker with languid enthusiasm, and caused us to turn our attention once more to the game which had been resumed after tea. The players were again in their places and the game was proceeding with leisurely progress so much in harmony with the actions and characteristics of the people. The game seemed to be the very embodiment of ease and comfort so much enjoyed by the English race. ISABEL BRADISH, Form VI. Shooting the Long Sault Rapids ON board great excitement prevails. The passengers have dined and are now rushing to the deck for the greatest experience of the entire trip. One or two of the more adventurous rush to the angle of the prow, thinking, perhaps, to get a greater thrill from there. The less daring choose their vantage points with a greater thought to safety than to adventure. A hush of expectation settles over the passengers. Ahead the river rolls and foams to splash against the jagged rocks. Approaching the mad turmoil of waters the boat quickens speed. The stern is seized and hurled now right, now left. A shudder passes from prow to stern. Gradually the boat settles down on an even keel. Proudly and serenely like a true monarch The Rapids King leaves the seething mass behind and sails majestically toward the calm, clear waters of the lower St. Lawrence. In the hurrying bustle of preparation for disembarking the thrill of the Longue Saulte is locked away in the storehouse of memories to be relived many times in imagination. AGNES J. MURRAY, Form VII. Page Forty-six The Valley LATE afternoon, bubbly raindrops falling, sweet, clean smell of growth, stillness in The Valley save for a dripping muffled thud. A rainbow spreads o ' er heaven and we keep silence. From the rim of The Valley we breathe purity and simplicity with fresh greenness and brown earth. Green, green, green, again and again, yet how varied, how beautiful; green leaves on wild plum trees close at hand, willows beneath us, green grasses by the stream, hazy elms in the distance. Mother Earth smiles in brown harmony. And a rainbow. Could a view be more beautiful, more pent with pro- mise, more awe-inspinng? The rain has almost ceased; a deep booming comes to us from the heart of The Valley. A bittern has broken the quiet and scattered bird calls float up to us. Now and then we see a flash of colour as tardy feathered folk prepare for darkness. We too, go homing, but our tongues are not yet loosed, our souls have not yet left The Valley, and our walk toward the busy city is a quiet one. JESSIE EAGAN, Form VI. Looking Forward and Backward WE, the Normal School Class of 1934, stand at the parting of the ways. Not only is it a parting of the ways for us who have spent such an enjoyable year here together, but individually it is also an em- barking on a career — a career to which we have devoted some 15 years of scholastic life m the preparation. Now, we will soon be provided with, we hope, an opportunity to prove that all this training has been purposeful. Let us not forget that in return for the many privileges for education afforded us we are expected to provide scmething tangible to the community in which we will be found in September — namely, service. A teacher ' s service — scmething which should not or cannot be measured in a monetary way. Let us try to think of our work in this way, and try to give back to the growing generation, as best we can, what has been passed on to us in the years behind us. Undoubtedly we have all formulated ideals and goals for which to strive. There will soon be an oppor- tunity to test our theories and our patience. But above all, let these high aims be not lowered, no matter what degree of success is our lot. Not failure, but low aim is crime. Our Normal Course has furnished us with the tools with which to work — whether we learn to use these tools skilfully, turning out good citizens as finished products will depend on us as individuals — our measure of success should be measured by the citizenship of the new generation, rather than by their examina- tion results. There will be danger of us becoming cynical and discouraged. Our faith in human nature will be sorely tried and tested. Our ideals will be almost shattered at times, but we will have that much stronger a charac- ter as a result. Courageously meeting each problem as it faces us, thinking clearly a course of action and then following it through, should ensure success. Although we have temporarily at least, ceased to bear the name of student, let us by no means have ceased to be one. Such an error would be fatal. A teacher ' s progress and usefulness certainly will not last longer than the day he ceases to be a learner of new things — even if his teacher be the least of his pupils. Looking backward we cast our eyes on the variegated panorama of our never-to-be-forgotten year at Normal — the classes, games, social events, the kindly masters and critic teachers, and the rich and lasting friendships formed. Surely a pleasant picture and one which we will be sorry to blot from the mind ' s eye. But look forward and behold a different although none the less pleasant vision. The vast plain of life stretches out before, lost in the dim distance of the future. A band of youthful pilgrims are setting out across the wide expanse, their paths already beginning to diverge. In the face of each may be discerned a look of eagerness, of resolution, of determination — one of those figures is you. What lies in the hazy mountain slopes at the other side of the plain? Well, you will have to paint the rest of the picture yourself. Are you a Corot? J. MYLES LECKIE. Page Forty-seven Coming Into Port A DISTANT booming sounds far out on the fog shrouded river. Dock attendants begin to bustle about, preparing for the reception of that greatest of all ocean greyhounds, the Empress of Britain. I stand and watch, and wonder at the amazing intelligence guiding that mighty ship as, blindfold, as it were, it picks its way among the maze of channels and passages with all the certitude of a homing pigeon questing for its nest. Again, it sounds, and I strain my eyes to pierce the all-concealing mist. A vague shape looms out of the whiteness of the morning. Saucy tugs can now be seen, belching clouds of black smoke, and churning the water to a yeasty foam, as they usher their charge to her appointed berth. More and more clearly now can be seen the details of the great ship herself, as, with majestic ease, she advances upon us. Snowy white she is, with scroll and figure-head of gleaming gold. Dark portholes, row upon row, stud her sides. Now she is upon us; the tug boats are in an excited frenzy as they puff and pull, to keep that great white shape from crashing in upon us. Higher and nearer she looms overhead, so close that I start back in alarm. A siren sounds, a voice calls high up upon the mist-enshrouded bridge. Far away to the stern I hear the thin piping of the coxswain ' s whistle. Slowly, and still more slowly, she advances, she trembles in indecision, and pauses when only inches separate her from disastrous collision. Great hawsers are slung from the sides. Now high up on the hurricane deck can be descried a white capped officer. Immobile, confident, he stands watching the scene of bustling activity. He raises a hand. A bell sounds. The engines choke and pause, there is a hiss of escaping steam, and another ocean voyage has been completed. H. COWDEN, Form VI. Camping in Northern Ontario IF you have never visited Northern Ontario, you cannot appreciate nature ' s beauty as it awaits you — but a few hundred miles away. If you have visited there, yours has indeed been an unusual inspiration; but unless your nights were spent under canvas and your meals prepared over an open fire, you have not tasted fully the savor of the northern climate nor experienced the ecstasy of communion with nature. When the evening meal has been consumed and camp made ready for the night, you might take a stroll to the edge of the lake. From that point of vantage you can view a sunset that none can compare. Whether it be the clear, cool air; the elevation — the forests or lake, or even, perhaps, your mental attitude, never- theless a northern sunset inspires in you a certain reverence and awe. You feel at such a time that the soul must take leave of the narrow confines of the body and be free to dwell in the vast and beautiful spaciousness. As the last rays fade, the calm and silence will be broken by a weird call of a bird from across the lake. At first you will perhaps dislike this weird laughing shriek, but soon you will come to associate the cry of the loon with all the other beautiful components of the scene. Nor is the loon the only creature you will hear in the evening — for the wolves must drink and they seem to prefer the water when nature has coloured it as she does at sunset, and they express their delight, as they sip the cool water, with a few howls, which rend the air with a weirdness you will not soon forget. When darkness comes on you will find that there are more stars than you ever saw in your southern sky, and they are brighter. If you are fortunate enough you will be afforded a view of that mystery of the northern skies, the aurora borealis, that you never experienced before. Still, you will not gaze at these, nature ' s beauties of the night, in perfect stillness, for soon a whip-poor-will — that ever elusive bird of the night, will start his calling. It is beautiful, inspiring, and altogether beneficial and refreshing to body, soul and mind, this camp- ing in Northern Ontario. ALYCE GRAINGER, Form VIII. Page Forty-eight The Old Chateau THROUGHOUT the whole hot summer afternoon, when the sun seemed determined to overwhelm the earth with his wrath, I had been riding alone on horseback along an old deserted road through a wooded upland. The long shadows of evening began to creep furtively across my path and still I had seen no sign of human habitation. Suddenly, as if in response to some conjurer ' s art, an old chateau sprang to view. An exclamation of joy rose to my lips but it was checked before it could be given utterance. Instinctively, I knew that the chateau was deserted. I could not explain this sensation, but with that first glimpse of the old building, a sense of depression tinged with a hidden fear, which no amount of reason or self assurance could dissipate, overpowered my spirit. I gazed upon that rugged pile of masonry. Directly in front, was the massive oak door, reinforced with heavy iron bands and locked with an iron bar of Herculean proportions. The top of a chimney protruded above the eaves in direct line with the door. At either extremity of the front wall stood a huge tower. The right tower had crumbled, as if from a blow, whose magnitude was beyond the comprehension of human mind. The whole front of the chateau, I reflected, resembled a large balance, the balance of Life. The chimney was the turning point for the system. The two towers were two forces, good and evil. The force of good had long since been destroyed, disturbing the equilibrium and causing the whole system to be turned by the force of evil. My reflections, indeed, seemed to be true for, at that moment, three large bats, uttering their weird, fiendish squeaks, issued from the left tower and flew towards the rising moon. An owl, perched on its battlements sent forth into the night, his long, blood-chilling call. My horse started, snorted and shivered. No other sounds broke the ominous quiet. Other parts of the chateau seemed singularly unimpaired by time and elements. Not a window was broken; not a stone in those gray, sombre walls was disturbed; not a mosS ' covered cobble stone was displaced. West of the left tower, stood two tall lone pine trees. By some peculiar coincidence, one of the trees had been uprooted by the wind and had lodged its trunk and branches in those of the other. There it re mained, the trunks of the two trees forming a gigantic cross. The rising moon caused the left tower to cast a shadow whose path lay directly from the deep gloom at the foot of the tower to the base of the cross. Nature seemed to indicate that this tower had been the source of whatever evil had befallen the chateau. Not far from the right tower stood a row of weeping willow trees. They bowed their heads continually grieving, if aught inanimate e ' er grieves, as the breeze sobbed and sighed through their branches. The barberry hedge, a mere ghost of its former living self, enclosed the courtyard. Whatever mystery those sombre walls withheld from the world, I did not choose to investigate. With apprehensive glances over my shoulder, I mounted and rode rapidly away. ROGER D. CAMPBELL, Form VL The Coming of Night TWILIGHT is enchantment — even in a barn. Through the dense grayness pencils of light stream from the cracks. A little mouse, emboldened by the protective darkness, scurries across the floor, sending a cloud of dust flecks dancing in the light beams, and goes rustling through the dried corn stalks. Two bright eyes gleam, the gray tabby is stalking its prey. Then there is a soft flutter, almost imperceptible; the owl from the highest beams has heard that rustle too. The darkness sifting down wraps the dusty fanning mill in a velvet cloak. The haymow looms high and dark along the western wall, and casts shadowy shapes across the floor at my feet. The champing of the horses and the munching of the cows below gradually grow less and less till an alhpervading silence reigns. Night creeping in through the gaping frame in yon north corner envelops the whole in his dim caress till dawn. K. BELL, Form VI. Page Forty-mne The S econd Year Course WHEN the Second Year Training Course became compulsory, most of the second year students came back for that reason, a few because they wished to do so. After several years ' experience, the buoyant spirit of youth still present helped them to accommodate themselves to the new situation demanding response. With their advent the literary, academic, professional, athletic and social activities have taken new shapes, whereby Normal School life has been suddenly enriched. The sympathetic attitude of the masters and the hearty co-operation of the first year students have contributed very materially to all phases of school life. Second year students, the province over, felt that with the sacrifice of time, often accompanied by loss of positions as well, due recognition for taking the Second Year Training Course should be given by educa- tional officials and the public at large. In order to gam this end Stratford and Peterborough Normal Schools sub ' mitted resolutions of a similar character to all other Normals. The resolutions were accepted generally by both first and second year students. Communications of professional interest were at first cared for by the chairman and secretary of the second year student body. At a later date three second year students and two first year students were elected to complete the formation of an executive. Our executive felt that little could be accomplished unless delegates from all Normal Schools convened and drew up a common policy regarding our professional status. This idea met with approval in that the executive of the Toronto Normal called a general meeting in that city, March I7th, 1934. Thirty-five delegates were present. Resolutions were drawn up and passed by the delegates for pre- sentation to the Minister of Education, the Ontario Educational Association and the Teachers ' Federation of Ontario at Easter time. The gist of the resolutions is as follows; (1) Permanent certificates gained by a second year training course should be recognized by a difference in grants over other permanent certificates. (2) Permanent certificates (II year) should be termed superior certificates and should indicate that they are gained by two years ' training. (3) A High School Assistant ' s certificate should he given without examination when the First-Class graduate obtains his B.A. degree. (4) Second year Second-Class students should gain credit for Upper School English and History after completing course. (5) A policy of minimum salary should he inaugurated. The delegates, after careful discussions, sanctioned North Bay ' s proposal that a new teachers ' organiza- tion should be formed among the students of Normal Schools. As yet this proposal has not been ratified by all the student bodies. All delegates felt that they were honoured in being the pioneers representing all Normal Schools for making suggestions to the course of study. As chairman of the second year student body I wish to extend heartiest good wishes for the coming school year and to thank the entire student body for the co-operation shown in all matters of professional advancement.

T was October the 26th, and the event was the annual Hallowe ' en Frolic. From out the brooding sky a suspicious moon cast an occasional, frightened glance over the earth. From the north, the south, the east and the west, glided dark figures. All paths led to the main entrance of the brightly lighted Normal School, which stood tall and stately amid the sentinel pines and the gaunt old maples. One by one, strange figures from the historic past entered to mingle with romantic contem- pcraries or with others of different clime and different time. A programme adapted to the gay mood of the audience started the ball rolling, with our president, Mr. Myles Leckie in the chair. At nine o ' clock, under the direction of Mr. Harvey Fenton and led by Dr. and Mrs. Mark, with the other masters and their wives, who loaned their patronage for the occasion, the students marched up to and around the gymnasium, which had been splendidly decorated for the event. After a grand march and judging of costum.es, dancing was enjoyed. Prizes were awarded to Miss Margaret Masters and Mr. Gene Tubaro for the best and most comic costume, respectively. A dainty lunch of sandwiches, cider, pumpkin tarts and apples was served. A vote of thanks is here tendered to the various committees in charge of the event. Oh I Wish I Had Someone to Love Me Although this once popular song has become antiquated, its spirit lives on. Many a time and oft it breaks out in different shapes and forms. On November the 23rd it was the theme song for the novelty Convict Dance, sponsored by the Girls ' and Boys ' Athletic Associations. The gymnasium was appropriately decorated in black and gray with barred windows and bare walls. A special cell was built for Robinson ' s Orchestra which supplied the music for the dance. Cartoons of convicts, representing leading students and drawn by Miss Isabel Bradish and Mr. Haswell Dodds, were prominent in the decorations. The Masters and their wives were made comfortable in a cell equipped in one corner of the room. The novel idea of programmes was initiated and won the hearty approval of all the convicts. Upon entering the imprisonment the male convicts were given numbers which were used to effect in the elimination dance in which Miss Margaret Buttery and Mr. George Tait were awarded the prize. Dr. and Mrs. Mark, Mr. and Mrs. Lucas, Mr. and Mrs. McKone, Miss Alice Watterworth and Mr. Marvin Krause kindly lent their patronage. Cards were enjoyed and a buffet luncheon served. The various committees spared no efforts to make this unusual entertainment an event long to be remem ' bered by the convicts. Miss Jean Fry was chairman of the decoration committee, assisted by Miss Alice Watterworth and Mr. Byron Wing. Miss Isabel Bradish and Mr. Harold Cowden assisted Miss Mildred Campbell on the programme committee. Miss Inata Babcock, aided by Marvin Krause and Miss Daisy Whitehall, were in charge of the refreshments. The At hHome SURPASSING any social activity sponsored by the Normal School for the year, the At Home was a decided success m every way. It was held in Convocation Hall, at the University of Western Ontario, on Friday evening, February 9th. The ballroom was prettily decorated with clusters of red, gold, purple, and green balloons. These were later freed to float out among the dancers, and the streamers and serpentine seemed to transfer the attractive ballroom into a veritable fairyland. The beautiful and brightly-coloured gowns of the ladies intermingling with the dark suits of the gentle- men, as the happy crowd moved to the sprightly fox-trot or dreamy moonlight waltz furnished by the Royal Collegians, added to the magic of the gay scene.

Society — Continued Dr. and Mrs. Mark led the Grand March at the beginning of the fifth dance, when the ladies were pre sented with lovely compact novelties as favours. The gentlemen received novel memo booklets. Later in the evening candy favours were presented to each couple. The guests were delightfully entertained during the evening by two charming dancers, in the personages of Miss Lois and Mr. Martin Gray, accompanied by Mrs. R. Munro. In the banquet hall, where a delicious lunch was served at midnight, valentine decorations were effectively carried out. A beautiful bouquet of red and yellow daffodils and tulips centered the table with red tapers on either side. Much of the success of the function is due to the various committees who, in co-operation with the student body, spared no efforts to make the At Home an event long to be remembered by the students of both the first and second year groups. Miss Margaret Plewes was in charge of decorations with Miss Isabel Bradish and Miss Blanche Shearing assisting her. Miss Jean Fry was convener of the refreshment committee with Miss Mary Prueter and Miss Margaret Purvis as her assistants. The business was capably dealt with by Mr. Murray Hughson, Mr. William Brundage and Mr. Sam Munro. Christmas Party To the delightful and successful parties, which were sponsored by the students during the year, the Christ ' mas Festival added variety. On Monday evening, December the 18th, the student body and their friends congregated in the auditorium, where an enjoyable hour was spent, while the Dramatic Club, of the Literary Society, under the able direction of Miss Jean Lee, presented a most entertaining performance in the staging of the play, Evening Dress Indispensable. The cast included Miss Kaye Little, Miss Daisy Whitehall, Miss Edith Reid, Mr. Jack Antill and Mr. Roy Brown. We congratulate the cast and Miss Lee for the able way in which this one-act play was presented. Dancing was enjoyed in the gymnasium, which had been beautifully and seasonably transformed into a Fairyland of Christmas. Dr. and Mrs. Mark, Mr. and Mrs. Clarke, Miss Gahan and Mr. Leckie acted as patrons and patronesses. Novel programmes and favours were presented to the guests. Cards also were enjoyed and a buffet lunch served. Much credit is due Miss Mamie Cruickshank, who was in charge of the decorations; Miss Esther Mack- ness and Miss Grace Slaght, refreshment committee; Miss Eileen Wing and Mr. Glenn Kilmer, in charge of the programme. JEAN FRY, Form VIII. Church Receptions PROMINENT among the Church social activities for the fall season, was a delightful entertainment held on the evening of October 16th, when the Normalites were guests of the members of Wesley United Church. We were very cordially greeted at the door and ushered into the Church auditorium, where a short pro- gramme, featuring several talented members of the Y.P. S., was heartily enjoyed by everyone. After this, we were all given slips bearing names, and conducted to the basement of the Church, where various groups were formed, each representing a college. The latter part of the evening was devoted to games in which we all participated. Yells were lustily delivered by each college ; the group having the best yell, was royally rewarded with candy. When everyone was sufficiently tired to enjoy it, a luncheon was served. A casual observer could not but appreciate the lively crowd of young people who Icept up a continuous chatter during that evening, which was brought to a pleasant close by a vote of thanks to Wesley Church for their hospitality, given by Wm. Brundage, president of the Students ' Parliament. Thus ended another evening — which proved instrumental in strengthen ' ing the friendships daily being formed at Normal School. The evening of Sunday, December 10th, brought forth another happy hour for Normalites, when the Y. P. S. of Knox United Church entertained us after the close of the evening service. In the Church parlour, we engaged in a short sing-song of well-known hymns. Following this was a programme including vocal solos and piano numbers by members of the Y. P. S. Then the ladies of the Church served delicious refreshments while we enjoyed a pleasant tete-a-tete with friends. The generous hospitality rendered by the members of Knox Church, made the evening a success, and one of the events long-to-be-remem- bered by the teachers-in-training of 1933-34. EDITH REID, Form IV. Page Fifty-six INTER-NORMAL MEETS London at Hamilton Two chartered buses and several cars, filled with enthusiastic competitors and supporters left the Normal School on Saturday morning, December I6th, at 7.30 o ' clock, en route to Hamilton, where there was to be a competition between Hamilton and London Normal Schools. We settled down for a long sleep, but the conversation in the back seat, the songs and the yells kept us awake. A more serious result of this noise was endured by our represent- ative for the girls ' oratory — she lost her voice. The first event of the day was a hockey game. Our team went directly to work and kept up the play until the final bell rang. The first goal was scored by Hamilton, in the first minute of the play. Arnold Shewan scored a goal for our team on a pass from Livingstone. Hamilton ' s second and last goal came late in the second period. Immediately after the game we proceeded to the Eaton store for lunch. After an enjoy able hour of eating, singing, and yelling, we congregated at a main intersection to wait for the bus. During the proceedings, a large crowd gathered. One little boy said to his mother: Say, Mum, what ' s the matter? On the arrival of the bus, we proceeded to Zion Church where the basketball games were held. Our A team was defeated by a score of 38-24. The B team was defeated by a score of 29-2L Both teams played fast games, but the Hamilton teams excelled in combinations. Our boys played a splendid game of basketball and defeated Hamilton by a score of 39-20. A banquet was served in Zion Church at 5.30. Those from our school who replied to toasts were Mr. Lucas, Catherine Zavitz and Marvin Krause. At 7-30, we assembled in the auditorium of the Normal School for the final events of the day. Dr. McMillan, Principal of the Hamilton Normal School, welcomed the delegates from London. Dr. Mark replied to the welcome. In the Girls ' Public Speaking Contest, Miss Helen Truan, speaking on the subject, The Modern Girl, won from Miss Madeline Collver, of Hamilton. Our debating team, Miss Winnifred Billingsley and Mr. Wm. Hogg, was successful. Both speakers in the Boys ' Oratory chose the subject What can Ontario Teachers do to prevent War? Mr. Knowles, of Hamilton, won from Mr. Roy Brown, who represented our school. At the close of the contests, lunch was served to the London delegates and the tired competitors and supporters left the Hamilton Normal School at 11.15 o ' clock, en route to London. Many and varied were the interesting incidents whch occurred on the trip home, but space does not permit recounting them here. The Humour of It! Arnold Shewan (trying to make Paisley comfortable): — Give him the brown coat. He can lie comfortably on it. Dorothy Ross: — He can lie anyway. We Wondered G. Tubaro: — Bill ' s all wrapped up in an armament conference. E. Fisher:— Well, I like that! Myles Leckie: — Last night I said, ' Let ' s go home. I have to pass the baloney. ' We went home, and there was the baloney. Some night, I ' m going to say, ' Let ' s go home. I have to pass the chicken. And there will be Blanche Shearing : — An egg. Page Fifty-seven Stratford at London ' Twas early in the morning, Scarcely after break of day When the Normalites from Stratford Were speeding on their way. Where to? the driver queried. To London we are bound, We mean to deal those Normalites A royal trouncing, sound. AFTER the first event, it seemed as though Stratford ' s threat might be fulfilled. Stratford won the hockey event by a score of 2 ' 0. In the overtime period, Stratford earned one goal, but the other was gained when the puck bounced into the net from a London stick. All the songs and yells tha t issued from our side of the arena could not produce the energy which our fagged team needed. We were much more successful in the afternoon, winning six of the eight events. The first badminton event, the ladies ' doubles, was won by our team — Grace Slaght and Marjorie Stead- man. The scores were 15 ' 4 and 15-6. The ladies ' singles event was won by Dell Walker, of Stratford, after three hard-fought games — 4-11, 11-8, 11-9. Our mixed doubles team, Myles Leckie and Margaret Woolcott, played well, winning the event by the scores, 15-6, 15-6. Marvin Krause played an outstanding game, winning for us the men ' s singles — 15-3, 15-6. The final event, the men ' s doubles, was won by the Stratford team, with the score 15-2, 15-5. This game brought the events of the day to a tie, 3-3. However, the basketball teams soon gained a decided margin for us. Our B team seemed to be losing during the first half of the game. In the second half, the team picked up and the final score was 16-9 for London. The outstanding team-work of the London boys completely baffled Stratford for the first half of the boys ' game. In the second half, Stratford played a much better game, but the Ox-Warble yell steadied our players, and the final score was 30-21. In the last two minutes of play in the Girls ' A game, Stratford proved to be very threatening, and until the final whistle blew the game was undecided. The final score was 36-29. A splendid banquet was served to us by the ladies of Wesley United Church. The toast- mistress was Miss Mildred Campbell. Toasts were proposed to the King, to Our Guests by Miss Thelma Witherell, and to the competitors by Mr. Roy Brown. The remaining events took place in the auditorium of the Normal School. Mr. Wm. Hogg, the president of the Literary Society, presided. Several songs and cheers were rendered before the programme commenced. Dr. Mark welcomed the delegates from Stratford, and Dr. Silcox replied to the welcome. In the Girls ' Public Speaking Contest, Miss Marjorie Lashbrook of Stratford, choosing as her subject, The Books a Girl Reads, was successful over our representative. Miss Norma Brougham. In the Boys ' Public Speaking Contest, the Stratford speaker, Mr. Andrew McKague, was given the decision over Mr. Leonard Wood of London. Both chose the subject, Man ' s Inhumanity to Man. The winning of the debate made up in part for these two defeats. The subject of the debate was Resolved that the awarding of competitive prizes and scholarships is in the interests of education. Our representatives, Mr. Wm. Brundage and Miss Mary Mc- Cormick, upheld the affirmative side. The Stratford debaters were Miss Daisy Kerr and Mr. Douglas Pitt. After the singing of God Save The King, the Stratford delegates were entertained at a dance and lunch in the gymnasium. The gym was decorated in the colours of both Nor- mal Schools, and the bunnies and chickens on the walls added to the decorations. A tap dance by two girls of a London dancing class was a feature of the programme. ' Twas shortly after mid-night. At dawn of a new day. When the Normalites from Stratford Began their homeward way. Where to? the driver queried. To Stratford, if you please. Those Normalites are splendid sports. In loss or victories. BLANCHE SHEARING, Form IV. Page Fifty eight CO ' - ; ' --. MERE ANDTHEliE MC.

Glen Kilmer: — No. Roy: — But I thought you had serious intentions in that direction. Glen: — I did have, but the evening I went to propose to her, before I got a chance, she said she loved Browning, Kipling and Shelley. Now what chance did I have with a girl who was in love with three other fellows. BUT OH! IT HAD NO BORDER! Free cutting of flowers, bright and gay.

Showing intelligence in every part; Dear little Goldilocks and the Bears Chasing away our troubles and cares. But oh! It had no border! So Normal Students, take heed, have care.

Gene Tubaro: — We gave the referee two hundred bucks to let us win the game. Mr. Lucas; — And still you lost? Gene: — Yeah — the referee was crooked. Dr. Hofferd: — Name a liquid that won ' t freeze. Doris Beeman: — Hot water. The old gentleman ' s wife was entering a railway carriage and he neglected to as.sist her: — You ' re not so gallant John, as when I was a gal. No, was his ready response, and you are not so buoyant as when I was a boy. Ted. Cress: — This talk about beautifying the golf course is a lot of tommyrot. The question of scenery shouldn ' t enter into golf. Harold Cowden: — Quite, the job is to keep one ' s goU from entering into the scenery. Mr. McKone: — Which is the most valuable, a silver dollar, or a dollar bill? Norm. Stewart:- The bill, because when you put it into your pocket you can double it. Mr. McKone: — Quite right, and when you take it out you find it in creases. I say Glenn, your girl looked quite tempting in that Biblical gown she was wearing last night. What do you mean. Biblical gown. Oh, you know, sort of lo and behold. Ezma Fisher: — I want to see the young man who was in- jured in the auto accident last night. Are you the girl who was with him? asked the nurse. Yes, was the reply, and I thought it was only right to come and give him the kiss he was trying for. John Paisley: — Thought you said you had plowed the ten- acre field. Fred.

Page Sixty-three Valedictory of the First Year Class WITH mingled joy and regret, we realize that our year at Normal is almost completed. Many and varied are the recollections that flood our memories, as we review the past year. Truly, it has been a busy one. As each morning dawned its duties seemed to overwhelm us; yet as each evening closed it brought the satisfaction of a day ' s work well done. Although our tasks were heavy, the working-together spirit, in evidence everywhere, turned toil into pleasure. It is incredible to look back and realize that a few months ago we students were complete strangers. During our year of common work and play, friendships have blossomed that will last as long as life. Through contact with each other, we have gained a fuller conception of life. It is with sincere affection that we, of the First Year, pay tribute to the Second Year students. Words are inadequate to express the part they have played in making our year happy and success ' ful. They cheered us in sorrow, advised us in perplexity, and encouraged us in despair. Truly they are pioneers. Great sacrifices have been required of them and their gracious spirit in the face of difficulties has inspired wonder and respect. The members of the staff have worked under a handicap this year, because of increased enrolment. It is impossible to realize what adjustments they were forced to make in order to accomplish their tasks. Each one bore additional duties, yet repeatedly sacrificed personal interests to be of service to us. As teachers they have set a high standard for us and the influence of their personalities on our lives cannot be estimated. Here, at Normal, we have caught a glimpse of the Vision Splendid. May the dust of the work ' a ' day world not obscure that Vision. With our heads high and the Vision before us, let us march out to take our places in the ranks of life. CATHERINE ZAVITZ, Form IV. Page Sixty-four Vdled ictory of the S econd Year Class As this happy year is now drawing to a close, I raise my glass in a toast to my fellow students and the dear old London Normal School : And here ' s to the days that are coming. And here ' s to the days that are gone, And here ' s to your gold and your spirit bold, And your luck that has held its own; And here ' s to your hands so sturdy. And here ' s to your hearts so true. When school opened, the first year entered with the eagerness of youth on the threshold of a new experience, while the second year returned with the expectation of renewing old acquaint- ances and improving their impression of the past five years. These two groups have worked harmoniously side by side, the second year inspired by the youthful zest of their juniors, and the first year helped by the experience of their seniors. Both years seemed to have caught the spirit of the poet who said: If you walk as a friend you will find a friend. Wherever you choose to fare. May this always be the spirit of the 1933 ' 34 class! This same spirit of co ' operation existed between the masters and the students, and every student is grateful to the masters and the critic teachers for their sympathy and valuable guidance. The masters must have found the work trying this year because of the large enrolment and the extensive second year course. We trust they have found us considerate throughout. In a few weeks this intensive year with its joys and trials will come to an end and we shall again join the teaching profession. This profession carries a great responsibility with it because we are helping to mould the lives of young Canadians. To fulfil this task, every teacher should have high objectives, ideals and ambitions — all linked to an iron will. Let everyone stick to his own craft and manage his own pilot-wheel with His Best as the Place of Port. For the best verse hasn ' t been rhymed yet, The best house hasn ' t been planned. The highest peak hasn ' t been climbed yet. The mightiest rivers aren ' t spanned. Don ' t worry and fret, faint-hearted, The chances have just begun; For the Best jobs haven ' t been started. The Best work hasn ' t been done. Our opportunities with their attendant responsibilities are very great. So let us fix our eyes upon a definite goal — have a definite purpose. Winners are the workers with a purpose — that ' s all. When you leave the Alma Mater this June, besides taking all the happy memories, take a lofty purpose. Let us then, be up and doing. NEIL DOWDING. Page S xty-five The Proverbial Last Word COUNTLESS hours of nerve-wracking toil have succeeded in bringing us to this, the last page of the 1933-34 Year Book. How often the members of the edi- torial staff have fairly yearned for this final touch to a seemingly insurmount ' able task. Our trials and worries have been many and varied. Criticisms have been plentiful — encouraging words scarce and scattered. Now that our literary pens are dried, we are in a position to do some reminiscing. Already many of the adversities have become fond, unforgetable remembrances. The Year Book Staff has, for the most part, been faithful at all times. However, it must be remembered that the credit for the completion of this book does not en- tirely go to this executive. But for the help and co-operation of the masters and students such a book would never have come into existence. We therefore take this opportunity of thanking each and every one who lent a helping hand while The Spectrum was in the making. We have striven to have our fun and humour at the expense of those students, who we believe will enjoy it as much as the rest of us, who may read it. Should anyone feel slighted in any way we tender our apologies. And now that the result is before you, we hope it has met your highest expec- tations. We shall feel doubly satisfied if this book merely serves to perpetuate the many friendships throughout the coming years. The joy of creation is ours — the book is yours. KEN PRUETER.

Page Sixty-eight HIGHER QUALIFICATIONS The teaching profession today requires higher quahfications of its members than ever before. The teacher who does not try to improve his academic standing is hopelessly handicapped i)()th in securing an initial position and also in receiving promotions. During the past fifty years hundreds of ambitious teachers have qualified themselves for better positions through the Extramural and Summer School courses of Queen ' s I niversitN-. Tiie work taken is as nearly as possible identical with that given intra- muralK- and the same examinations are set for all students. Courses may be com- I)Ieted hy extramural work alone in either the summer or the winter sessions. The Summer School is iield during JuK and part of August.

TORONTO (2) There came here last September One who seemed quite reserved, W ose name we shall remember Because his Form he served. With girls he was a favourite. But never was a flirt; And when a girl made eyes at him His mind he would assert. But actions are, as you all know Resultant of some cause, Thus acts performed by this young man Should bring him much applaus:. ' Twas not that girls from Normal Were hateful to his taste; But just to show the hometown girl Her faith was not misplaced. He left us Friday before Lit, And far away he sped; The ev ' ning paper gave the news Of how he had been wed. And now let toast go out from us That all the years may bring No limit of true happiness To Mrs. and Byron Wing.

You must learn when to question And when facts must be told. For questions which may be answered By use of No or Yes, A critic teacher marks you With less and less and less. You must not repeat answers. Or leave them in the air. You must avoid a yes, yes, Or your teaching you impair. A preposition is a bad thing To end a sentence with.
