As the 1950 edition of the Spectrum goes to press, many thoughts present themselves to be expressed through the medium of this book. Chief and foremost is the thought of gratitude to the teachers. We have said it before, and it can bear repeating, that we have some of the finest teachers in the land. They have shown themselves to be willing to help us in all our difficulties, academic and otherwise. They have always been and always will be here to aid us in our trials both great and small. During our year here at London Normal we have formed friendships which will last a life-time. True, in many cases we will never see some of our classmates again, but their memory will continue to be part of our everyday life. It is only wh en we come to the end of the road that we fully realize the deep feelings these friendships have reached. Then there are the thoughts which come to mind when the words London Normal are used: the stately old building on Elmwood Ave. where the classes were held; the gym flanked by the rafters with the temperamental light; the common room where the parties were held and the students would gather at recess and noon to discuss the results of the sporting world and strive to improve their game of Canasta or just plain Euchre; the Coca-Cola cooler where the teachers and students would gather for their daily cokes and engage in an old-fashioned chin-wag. These are only a few of the memories of our sojourn at the Normal School, along Wortley Road. So in farewell we can only say thanks , with all the true meaning of the word, to the teachers who have done their part in teaching us methods, knowledge and discipline; thanks to London Normal School for giving us an opportunity to learn and partake of the true spirit within its time-hallowed halls; thanks to our fellow- students whose friendship we will always cherish.
