endure nlscmu. . 9 Agp ..s....t was liilszlsriiiil form Vl. Reminiscences INCE histories usually start with a date, the history of Form VI must not differ in this respect. On September nineteenth, nineteen hundred and thirtyfthree, a numlser of student teachers at the call of the Department, appeared at the London Normal School. Fortyfone 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 19334934, Form VI has played a very important part. In the first place it has the unique distinction of having among its number all the secondfyear firstfclass men. Secondly, it contains the leading ladies among the secondfyear first class women, for does it not include all the ladies who come first alphabetically from B to KH? 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 Cas from the Campbells to Currie, 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 in Holmes. a joyful in johnson and a Kindly K in Kilpatrick. Among the men we have four clever Cls frcm Campbell to Cuyler. three Dauntless D's from Davies to Drake, a Fearless in Froud, a helpful in Hughson, a Jaunty in Jarvis, a Kingly K in Krause, a Lusty HL in Lane, a Notable N in Nott, two Sunny S's in Shewan and Silcox, and a Willing in Wood. As space here does not permit me to deal with every member individually, I must choose those outstanding, and ntention 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 uHamlet 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 vicefpresident of the Girls' Athetic Society during the first term and as vicefpresident of the Student Parf liament during its second term. Miss Winnifred Billingsley will also occupy a space in this Hall of Fame as a school dehater, 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 terms Girls' Athletic Societies, respectively, and Miss Molly Ellis for the second term Students' Parliament. Miss Marjorie Dunford who gave the ulntroductiors to the Scenes from Hamlet, produced by the Form for the Liteiary Society, and Miss Katlierine Bell, the capable convener of Badminton, also deserve mention here. Our men are no less famous ard some of them must cccupy a prominent place in our Hall of Fame. Among our numl:er we have the business manager cf the Year Book, Mr. Harold Cowden. We also have the other winner in the Musical 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 Fatherg Mr. Silcox and Mr. Drake as Hamletsg 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 Cuylerg three badminton stars: Messrs. Krause, Fround and Cowden. Then we must remember our men representatives: Mr. james Silcox for the tirst 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 193364. I dori'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 Etting 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 allfday 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. WINNIFRED I. BILLINGSLEY Page Twentyfseuen
