Editorial A culmination of the Editor ' s duty is the few words of wisdom customarily placed under the title The Editorial . Depending on the Editor ' s temperament, these words offer either good advice or pleasant nostalgia. Following, then, the traditional pattern, let us state that we are sorry to see the year come to a close. It has contained a good many trials and tribulations, laughter and gaiety and, above all, friendships. Having disposed of sentiment, we must dispense some good advice. Appreciate the opportunity this profession offers for doing good. The scope of teaching is limitless, provided we make every effort to enlarge it. Accept all help that is offered by school nurse and psychologists, weigh and consider all new steps suggested by educational authorities and use heart as well as head in teaching. -THE EDITORS.

Art is interpreting nature, not copying her. —DOROTHY EMERY. We exist in the very active present. The reverence, the successes— material and spiritual —that have come out of the past. We believe that our success in the future depends on our action now. We see more hope for the future through the fusing of thought with action than through their divorce. -ANDREW F. HAGERMAN. If you want to know what a boy is, watch his play. If you are concerned as to what he will become, direct his play. -WINIFRED R. PRENDERGAST. To the Class of ' 47: All experience is an arch where through Gleams that untravelled world whose margin fades Forever and forever when I move. I am sure as you face your problems next year squarely and honestly you will grow and strengthen with each new encounter and we shall be proud to claim Class ' 47 of the London Normal School. -G. E. CONOVER. If, like the child in the progressive school, you have said, There are times when I really begin to wonder if all this is worth while, let me assure you that it is. The knowledge, self- reliance and poise which you have gained this year will enable you to look forward with anticipation to the first and succeeding days in your own classroom. My wish for you is that you may find the happiness and satisfaction in your first year ' s teaching that I have found in working with you this year. — L. MOISLEY. ' It ' s the songs you sing And the smiles you wear That make life ' s sunshine everywhere. -RHENA MclLROY. We extend our thanks to Mrs. Judd, who bestowed many kind favours on the students throughout the year. -THE EDITORS. Page Seven

Our Instructors in Religion It is my honour to represent the Ministers who are teachers of Religious Knowledge at the London Normal School in expressing our sincere good wishes to all of our students as they become graduates and embark upon their careers as teachers in the schools of this Province. No secular calling should be more exalted than that of the School Teacher. By him the foundations of our society are laid and maintained. It is his privilege to help to mould the minds of future citizens in the most impressive and formative years of their development. No longer is he the teacher of just academic subjects, but the modern school teacher is a guide to the unfold- ing of a way of life. The responsibility of the teacher is great and his own training and devotion must be equal to his high task. That is why, in saying Best Wishes to the Class of ' 47, that the teachers of Religious Knowledge at London Normal School commend each graduate to the example, he care and the blessing of the greatest of all teachers— our Lord.
