Editorial Staff Staff Adviser Dr G W. Hofferd Editor Esther MacMath Business Manager George Switzer Assistant Editors Catherine Peters, Edith South- ern, Amy Turnbull, Isabel Vincent, Jean Waghorne, Sis- ter Isabel. Editorial Comment Our Regret: That, since we are the smallest class since 1908, our book must assume cor ' responding proportions. Our Thanhs: Firstly, to the masters whose patience and helpfulness in regard to this book have been greatly appreciated; secondly, to each student who, whether space has permitted his work to appear or not, has showed his school spirit through co- operation. Our Hope: That, in future years, this book will be the Open, Sesame to memory treasures of the past year. — Your Editorial Staff. Literary Society, First Term WITH what happy memories we shall look back upon the activities of the Literary Society, where we came together as a school and learned to carry on with dignity and enjoyment, accepting the masters ' kindly criticism as a stimulus to better effort. To the following officers who served us faithfully, sincere credit is due for their untiring efforts on all occasions: J. Mark, Pres.; G. Grogan, Vice-Pres.; R. Clemance, Sec; E. Maclean, Treas.; C. Peters, M. Herbison, M. Banner, H. Brown, Form Reps. No opportunity of having a good speaker was al- lowed to pass: When Dr. Wallace Crawford was home on furlough he graphically depicted for us, through his own direct experience, Conditions in China, as They Are To-day. Inspector Wheable, of the city schools, introduced by Dr. Hofferd, as once small, but now big in every way, left us this message: Tact, industry and sympathy are necessary as well as academic standing, if we wish truly to serve the community in which we teach. Several skits were attempted, but the highlight in dramatics was attained when Form III presented its little play, Miss Crabbitt Keeps Company, — the author, Miss Esther MacMath. Form IV provided an innovation in studying the cultural life of Canada in art, music and literature. However, Forms I and II shone in the presentation of their debate, over the re- spective influences of the Home and School upon the character of the child. The first term was concluded with a musical programme, followed by a tea in the library. And finally, let us keep in mind this thought from Dr. Mark: This Literary is but a means, and not itself an end- Here you play your part, each in his place, Cleanly and wholesomely, and wording with your fellows Wit stimulating wit, and that clear thinking, Which must come, ere you rightly use, The nowledge and the s ill which you have gained. ' ' RUTH CLEMANCE Form II. Literary Society, Second Term We, the executors of the estate of the L. N. S. LITERARY SOCIETY, do hereby disclose this his last WILL and TESTAMENT: I. L. N. S. LITERARY SOCIETY, do hereby bestow and bequeath: (1) My sincere thanks to all the forms of the school for helping to make the Second Term meetings the successes which they have been. (2) Thanks to Dr. G. W. Hofferd for starting us off well with that wonderfully illustrated lecture on Art Through The Centuries. He set a high standard for the rest to follow. (3) To future Normalites the following record of achievements, on the condition that they criticise them kindly. (a) An impromptu debate entitled Resolved that teaching for one continuous week per month is better for Normal School students than teaching individual weekly lessons. (b) A novel programme presented by Form IV entitled Sketches from the Lives of Great Men Born in February. (c) An amateur hour and science play sponsored by the Science Club and presented by the boys. (d) A scene from Vanity Fair, by Thackeray, dramatized by Form II. (e) A portion from ' When Valmond Came to Pontiac, dramatized by Form III, and described by the critics as the year ' s most successful literary achievement. (4) To the Misses Margaret Williams, {Catherine McEachern and Helen Cares, the piano Keyboard to be divided equally amon gst them as a token of my sincere appreciation for their services. (5) To Miss Gahan, Honorary President and to the Masters who so kindly criticized the meetings, I bequeath the school and especially the Friday after- noons at the School. For in them lieth the future of me, L. N. S. LITER- ARY SOCIETY, until the next class of would-be teachers arrive. SIGNED, SEALED AND DELIVERED IN THE PRESENCE OF: Austin Charlton, Pres.; Edith Southern, Sec; Barbara Elson, Vice-Pres.; George Switzer, Treas.; Ruth Willis; Jean MacTavish; Cecille Burnstine; Gerald Nelson. — Form Reps. EDITH SOUTHERN. Form IV.
