To the Graduating Class of 1937: THE best wish that I can offer you on your prospective entrance into the ranks of a great profession is that you may be happy in your work. Happiness is not mere contentment, which is temporary and fleeting and may arise from such conditions as a generous salary, comfortable surroundings, a well-equipped school, and responsive pupils. These conditions may contribute towards your immediate and temporary happiness, and I would not minimize their impor- tance. But your real happiness will not necessarily depend upon any of these factors, and may, in fact, be attained without their assistance. Your permanent happiness will result from the consciousness of work well done and duty faithfully performed, and above all from the knowledge that you have created in your pupils correct habits, worthy interests, and high ideals, which in the years to come will make this a better world. W. J. KARR, Director of Professional Training. Department of Education, Toronto, May 10th, 1937. Principal ' s Message To the Class of 1937: yOU are identified with a number of superlatives You have had more practice teaching, and more continuous, than any preceding year. You are the smallest class in the history of the school. You are the most recent class that has graduated. The first record should carry with it a marked value which you will appreciate next year. The second should bring economic advantage to you and to other teachers. The last is but adventitious. Teachers, I believe, are in a special sense expected to live a life of superlatives. They accept a responsibility, in the exercise of which, example is their most potent instrument. At no time can they afford to fall short of their best. Principal. Valedictory LONGFELLOW has written: Look not mournfully into the Past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the Present. It is thine. Go forth to meet a shadowy Future without fear and with a manly heart. Our Past goes back through a mist of half-forgotten collegiate years, sweet in their own way, and yet lacking that fulness which we have found here. From that September morning when we first saw the tower of our School above the trees we realized that a new, delightful trail through life was unwinding before us. We have not been dis- appointed. The year which is almost gone has been one of new joys, higher ideals, nobler aspirations; one which, while it has touched us with remorse that so many years have been spent with our faces buried in text books oblivious to the charms of nature, art, literature and life, has filled us with gratitude to our masters and instructors for helping us to find again the path we never should have left. Too, the past year has had its sorrows: thorns of discouragement and of criticism waiting among the roses along the path of education. But if we have borne them bravely and without flinching we shall find that the wounds will heal leaving only the scars to remind us of our mistakes. When the last day comes — and it is now so very near — the feelings of each one of us are going to be one great paradox. It is the heart ' s desire to leave, never to be a student here again. Yet, the thought will persist: Oh, if only this wonderful year did not have to end! We carry as a legacy into the Future our impressions of masters and instructors whose sympathy, and under- standing have been perpetual sources of comfort to each of us; pleasant memories of students who, radiating goodwill and fellowship, were always ready to lend a helping hand; recollections of lectures and discussions permeated with new knowledge and fresh ideas; weeks of priceless experience in practice schools where we felt ourselves drawn very close to little ones such as we hope to teach during the coming year. We are almost ready. The Shadowy Future may lead us to unknown parts, into difficulties we have not anticipated. But we feel certain that, with the past year ' s experience as a staff on which to lean, each one of us will explore the wilderness of life without fear and with a manly heart. ESTHER W. GOODWIN MacMATH.
