We all know those indispensable quiet wonder workers (teaching staff) and those uncooperative noisy seekers for truth (student body) and little or nothing of the dynamic force which keeps these halls hallowed and these floors polished. What is this force? Please read on and gain in wisdom. Office Staff: Remember all those mimeographed sheets you got all year? Then there were the Timetables and many other tasks that have to be done to keep the administrative machinery rolling. This great task was ably handled by Mrs. Judd. Maintenance Staff: First, we will express thanks to the two charming ladies who keep things spick and span the hard way — Mrs. Claire and Mrs. Joyce. Then there is Mr. Charles Ryckman the engineer who, by some miracle, man- ages to keep certain rooms at 90 degrees and others at 30 or 10 degrees at the request and behest of certain people. Do not forget genial Mr. J. F. Strasser, the gardener. He is the man who will probably finish the job the students began in the garden, besides keeping the grounds in tip-top shape. To each we say. Well done, thou good and faithful servant ! In Memorium: Here we shall mention those young ladies who not only had a sparkle in their eye, but sported a sparkler on that certain finger on the left hand. They are: — Patricia Hay, Catherine Bailey. Mary Shirk. Marguerite Lucas. Jessie Rain and Mary Graham. They got their man . Nellie, part of the Normal School Life for ten years, passed away at Eastertime of old age. FRED lcD( VLD, Editor III. - 10 -

t better p%a t 76 e Student %e ieCe tt Fellow Students: Working with you this year has afforded me an opportunity not only to enjoy our associations, but also to profit by my experiences. I am sure that without your enthusiasm and whole-hearted co-operation my task would have been immeasurably more difficult. I hope that this year has been equally enjoyable and beneficial to you, and that you will go out in September feeling that our relations have helped you to pre- pare, in some small way. for the teaching profession. Wishing you great success in your new endeavours, I remain. FAIRHART P. SADDY, President of the Student Parliament. - 11 -
