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

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.
