Student Parliament ThE Student Parliament this year found as its main job, being watchdog over the student activities. The various student groups did such an excellent job that there was very little left for the parliament to do. However, the Treasurer was kept busy financing the activities, and trying to keep enough money for the two big events of the year, the Graduating Banquet and Dance, which were sponsored by the Parliament. Greetings To London Teachers ' College by DR. W. J. DUNLOP Minister of Education. Q • O greatly does the future of this country depend on the preparation of the teachers who are to instruct the pupils in the schools of Ontario that our T eachers ' Colleges occupy a large place in the planning of the Department of Education. You who are students in the London Teachers ' College are priviliged to have, as I need scarcely remind you, instructors of the highest calibre who are most conscientious in the dis- charge of their duty towards you, and who are also good examples whose attitudes you may well emulate. There is such a shortage of elementary school teachers in Ontario, as in all English- speaking countries, that you are not likely to have any difficult in obtaining good positions at excellent salaries. When you sign a contract with a Board of Trustees you undertake a great responsibility because it then becomes your duty and your privilege to exert every talent you have toward the production, by means of education, of intelligent, right-thinking, pub- lic-spirited, loyal, and religious citizens who will take their places in a very few years as citizens of the greatest and freest country in the whole world, the Dominion of Canada. To do this, you must stress the fundamentals in education. Hard work and competition cannot, as some seem to think, be taken out of the schools as long as they are determining factors for success in life. You will work hard and your pupils will work hard, but you will also have a good deal of fun and recreation, and you will not confine your activities solely to the school but will be useful citizens in the communities in which you serve. You will have a great responsibility; you are now preparing yourselves to assume that responsibility. In that great endeavour you have my best wishes for abundant success. A Science and an Art by F. S. RIVERS, Superintendent of Professional Training. TeACHING — real teaching — is a science and an art. At Teachers ' College you have been chiefly concerned with the science and, while this concern will continue, you must soon give increased attention to the art. The children — the material with which you will work — constitute a medium which is diffi- cult, complex and challenging. But the finished product, if moulded by the master-teacher, is a thing of beauty, a joy forever . No one can instruct you in the art of teaching. It is an intangible thing compounded of intelligence, knowledge, interest, understanding and enthusi- asm. Like any art, it demands devotion of its practitioners — constant attention to detail, long-continued, self-critical practice and, above all, the will to succeed. A master craftsman must serve a long apprenticeship. As you practice the science and art of teaching in your own classrooms, the technique you develop will be a personal thin g. My best wishes for your success go with you in the full expectation that your service will be at once worthy of you and of the profession of which you are a member. A Message to the Class of ' 54 By F. C. BIEHL, Principal. It happened a quarter of a century ago. It was the kind of warm June evening when you can feel each blade of grass under your feet stretching to make an extra inch ' s growth in the last two hours of sun. Around the one-room schoolhouse there was an orderly milling of some eighty young men and women, all of them looking very earnest and very tense. I was one of the eighty. A school board needed a teacher; they would meet applicants at this appointed time. Most of us had trudged five miles into rural Ontario for the inter- view. My turn came. It was brief. How much do you want? . . . Too much! Next applicant. Things have changed. To-day I sometimes wonder which of the two parties to the interview interviews whom. Nor does anyone wish to return to those bad old days when, if teachers were to teach at all, they were forced to cut each other ' s throats. To-day ' s conditions, however, also have their dangers. One of them is that we think that it is our own unique virtues, rather than the blind operation of economic forces, that is responsible for the exciting and flattering bidding for our services that prevails. Devoted men and women have for half a century tried to build up a professional standard among teachers. A feeling like that I have described could send us back to where we were only semi-skilled labour. Suppose, then, that we start out on our career saying something like this: Five years from now I am still going to be sought after. But this seeking will not be just the result of a boom economy and a rising birth rate. It will be because I as a teacher have something to give. It will be because children, after a year with me, have made a full year ' s progress in skills and knowledge, have had a full year of challenge and fulfilment, a full year of growth in responsibility. Religious Education The following men kindly instructed us in Religious Education: REV. G. W. BIRTCH REV. F. T. DARNELL REV. J. FLECK REV. F. H. JOBLIN REV. D. D. JANES DR. A. MacQUEEN DR. G. W. MOORE FATHER O ' FLAHERTY London Teachers ' College Graduating Class of 1954 o N behalf of the Ministers and Priests who give religious instruction at the London Teachers ' College, I offer sincere congratulations to the graduating class of 1954 on the successful completion of your course of studies. You are entering a noble profession and we heartily recommend that you endeavour to maintain its lofty standards of service in the communities where you will be called upon to teach. We realize that the teachers of our land, together with the home and the Church, have a tremendous responsibility in guiding the rising generation in the proper appreciation of the ideals and practical benefits of our Christian and Democratic way of life. Our very best wishes go with you as you go out to labour in your chosen profession. Yours very sincereiy, GEORGE W. MOORE. MR. C. P. O ' NEILL, M.A. Science and Agriculture. MISS G. BERGEY, B.A. Social Studies, Reading and Literature. MISS A. G. SERVEXT Secretary. OUR MAINTENANCE STAFF F. Strasser, Mrs. H. Joyes, Mrs. Seweryn, Mr. H. W. Bromwich GARY CRUICKSHANK Prime Minister of School Parliament. FlRST OF ALL I may say, without reserve, that this year has been one of the best in my so-far-so-short life. Never before have I had the opportunity of working, both academically and socially, with a finer or more enthusiastic group of people than the staff and students at London Teachers ' College. I think that we have made the transition from L.N.S. to L.T.C. with flying colours! Let ' s carry our unbounded enthusiasm into the vast field of education that now sur- rounds us. Let ' s bring happiness to the sad child, understanding to the maladjusted child and hope to those who are discouraged. The beginning of an even greater Canada will be taking their seats before us each school morning. Upon us, then, the fate of Canada partly depends and, with God ' s help, we can build that nation. No doubt we will often recall our days at L.T.C. as we sit in our ultra-modern class- rooms or huddle, in mid-January, around the jacket of a Quebec heater. We will remem- ber the delightful little parties, the sports, the common room and the controversies of the classroom. I have learned this year that education is anything but sombre and that you never really lose a smile because it is reflected back in the face of the one you smile upon. If simplicity is the mark of sincerity, then: Good Luck, Everyone! GARY CRUICKSHANK, Prime Minister, L.T.C. JIM STANLEY, Editor-in-Chiet. T HIS is the first London Teachers ' College Year Book. We hope you enjoy reading it, and we hope that, through the years, it will serve to bring back pleasant memories of that happy year at Teachers ' College. We want to thank all members of the Spectrum staff for their help and we wish to tender special thanks to Miss Singer and Miss Emery, our staff advisors. A special thanks to Brian Hunter for designing our cover. Good luck to you all. JOE HIBBERT, Associafe Editor. STAFF OF THE SPECTRUM Jim Stanley Joe Hibbert P. Whitehouse Bill Carey V. Wheeler J.

The weather was fine when she took her leave, But out on the farm there was cause to grieve. Monday morning she entered the stuffy school. It was dingy and dark and she felt like a fool. The children all turned and gaped as she sat Perched up on a chair at the very back. The student never noticed their stares; She looked at the snow and continued her prayers: Oh, Lord, make it snow like never before, This school, these kids are a perfect bore. The Lord looked down in stern disgust, Detesting her attitude and her lust. It did snow a lot and the girl had to stay At the old farm house for the next five days. The roads were blocked and the school was closed. Things weren ' t as rosy as she had supposed. She made the beds; she did the dishes, Regretting the Lord had fulfilled her wishes. So you see, dear children, it doesn ' t pay To wish your rural teaching away. SANDIE NICKEL, Form 2. The mighty I knelt in prayer, Doubt I could not hide; Why, oh God, is Christ the King? Why by His word abide? The walls about me seemed to fade, And in a stable bare A holy mother with the Child Seemed to be kneeling there. I saw again another scene, There roared a turbulent sea. In my ears I heard a voice Say, Peace be unto thee. In the streets of the city He made a lame man walk, Here He helped the blind to see, There taught the dumb to talk. Then darkness was about me, I saw Christ on Calvary, Heard His last words to His Father: Forgive their wrong to Me. Around me I heard many tales, Of the wonders this man had done; Slowly I arose from bended knee, I, now the humble one. JACKIE COULTHARD, Form 4. My Speech In THE FUTURE, as teachers, we should feel obliged to teach something which cannot be found on the printed page of our course of study. Consider the average Canadian child. What does he know about Canada ' s relationship to the rest of the world? Is he aware of his country ' s position in the Commonwealth and the United Nations? Does he understand Canada ' s relationship with Britain, the United States and the other countries of the world? What does the Maple Leaf and God Save the Queen mean to him? Does he realize that he has rights and privileges as a citizen of this country, and that there is a responsibility on the opposite side of every right: that of respecting the rights of others. These are priceless facts he should know. Canada is composed of ten provinces, stretching ad mare usque ad mare . She supports peoples of all nationalities united under one Queen and one flag. She has agriculture, indus- tries, minerals and scenic beauty. All these allow him to lift his head with pride when he says, I am a Canadian. His family may feel this way, but usually do not express themselves in words, and may give the opposite impression by complaining about taxes and certain inconveniences. We musf be their living examples! LIDA RUSSELL, Form 6. Literary Thirty -Eight Minu Our timetable says Climb those stairs! Up, up, climb twenty score, To Conover ' s Arctic Circle, Get a move on, there, Form Four! We arrive. Margie sits and shivers. Slowly Donna opens her book; Verna hands teacher the absentee slip, Eleanor gives John the look . Marilyn starts writing a letter, Mr. Watt— he ' ll just think; Bernice and Carolyn catch up on news. And Jackie goes looking for ink. Miss Coveney just loves to doodle, Miss Cross finds no time to shirk; Mr. Stewart starts voicing his opinion, While Mary Ann begins her handwork. We lose Whitney and Walker, When talking they are caught; And Mr. Roberts gives a lecture. On what University taught. Arnold just sits and listens, Milly tries to smother a yawn; There ' s too much noise in this room! And soon Miss Foster has gone. Paul dreams in silent meditation, Graham reflects days at the U , Eileen and Miss Davis pay attention, Stan wishes the period were through. ? with Form IV Marg gives a shudder when thinking. How Bill scared her with a pig ' s eye; Mr. Palmer prompts teacher ' s spelling, Doran ' s jokes make time fly by. Langford and Lewis hold converse, Wood and Workman chat too; Mr. Zativz answers Mr. Robertson, Ron and Goldie have nothing to do. Miss Dawson and the Demaiters, Dorothy, Marilyn and Miss Gray, Find something to keep them busy. Learning manners of today. This period will never end, Think Doug and Ian and Don; Of basketball Mr. Moir dreams, And slowly time goes on. Mr. Stanley answers a question, From Mr. Morgan we hear no peep; And where is Mr. Wortley? Why in the corner, half asleep! Then through the cold and the stillness, The bell sounds like a roar; So, come along, my children, Move on with our Form Four! JACKIE COULTHARD, Form 4. Undecided I beg you all to listen, Please just listen to me! I ' ve asked myself so many times Is it a teacher I want to be? The answer seems beyond me. But yet I do not know What other field would give me A more substantial goal. There is a lot of work involved, But work, as it may be, It really isn ' t quite so bad As most of us will see. Teaching has its pleasures, I ' ve often heard it said. For laughter from the children Around the room is spread. With greetings every morning From children sweet and clean. It starts the day off right With an atmosphere that ' s keen. I hear there is no boredom As each day rolls along; Life ' s little human natures Fill your heart with song. And as the long day closes You ' re thinking of your bed; But then you must remember There ' s a meeting just ahead. The duties of a teacher Are not all to be read, For not all duties are from books But from the heart instead. Thus as I sit and contemplate What the future holds for me, I guess I ' m really fortunate That I am a teacher-to-be. NANCY NEILL, Form 5. Reflections from 7 54 As time goes by, someday we ' ll say, Remember College? That first day? The first time we had to teach, Practicing what masters preach? Those late hours when we felt beat, Finding material that was concrete; Making up lessons — what a task, Trying to figure what pupils would ask. Remember periods when we ' d sit Debating whether to stay or quit? Reading assignments getting us down, We just wanted to skip town. How in music these words would ring, Diaphragms up; one, two, class sing! If your pitch does not ring true, Watch my hand, I ' ll help you. That rural week when it did snow, Blocking roads so we couldn ' t go. To teach in the country and have fun Working seven grades while teaching one! The visits we took, the friends we made, The fun we had, the games we played; The cheers we yelled, the songs we sang, ' Til voices were hoarse and rafters rang. Thus someday when we ' re old and gray. With superannuation on its way, We ' ll reflect on this — fun by the score, We graduates of ' 54. JACKIE COULTHARD, Form 4. Literary - - Poetry Canada Blessed art thou, O Canada, above all lands. Touched by thin sorrows like a banker ' s son Thou sheddest thy adolescence at thy leisure, Safe in the knowledge of abundant coffers. No edge of want shall sharpen thy per- ception Nor drive thy manhood far beyond the flesh Into vague aeons of intangibles. Dispersed art thou, O Canada, between the seas. Thy anchors rest in bedrooms and in kitchens. Intimidated by the vastness of thy skies. Thou fixest things instead of planting gar- dens And dost thy dreaming in a bowling alley. Thou movest from one place onto another On Sundays or whenever the lease is up. Happy art thou, O Canada, in thine own way. Well fed thy children, and thy old folk pensioned. Thy women call the price of butter a cauchemar And thy men lose but rarely more than money. Thou sendest brains abroad to do thee homage And those thou keepest at home are rarely heard, And when they speak thou dost not seem convinced. M. D. FRISCH, Form 4. Soliloquy Can He who made the tiny rose, Gave its petals the softest shades, Fashioned the leaf, painted the hill, Made a flower that blossoms and fades; Can He be the one that allows on our world Destruction, famine and greed? Can He ignore our sufferings? Be not aware of our need? Yet it seems a human weakness Blaming some other soul. When God gave the world to man Perfection was His goal; And only because of the lust of mankind Has this world begun to decay, And because of man ' s desire for power, Have our morals been lowered to-day. Thus when the world weeps with wars Just remember, and bear in mind, That ten written laws have been laid down By a greater power behind; And if we will only follow them, As each step of life is trod. Can we learn of true peace on earth, And fulfil our faith in God. JACKIE COULTHARD, Form 4. The Reward When you can stand with the sinking sun, Not hating yourself for the things you ' ve done; When you can find one friend that ' s true, That passes the test when time is due; When you can be honest though others may cheat, Losing the game, accept defeat; When you can love though others despise, Be judged and yet not criticize; Then your lowly path of life may be trod, With love and happiness and nearness to God. JACKIE COULTHARD, Form 4. Literary Have You Heard About Us ? Well-1-1 . . . Laughing girls and boys with little toys Form I, please stop that noise . This we hear from morn ' til night, We never seem to do things right. Soon there ' s bound to be a showdown. First I ' ll give you all the low-down. Eleanor in study is always nappin ' Jean is always there a ' laughin ' . Helen Clare, who is so dark and short. Like Aletha is a lively sort. Harvey is on the winning team, And Lloyd (of course) is quite a scream. Charlaine is always dressed so neat, And Bruce is always on the beat. We have in our class a boy with force, That ' s Jim, clown of the class of course. Willa and Jean cannot be parted While Brian needs help to get started. Ruth, yes, she is quite a scholar And Alma outshines all by wearing a collar. Mrs. Harrington makes us see all green, She ' s the smartest, it would seem. Last there ' s Miss Emery (who likes our Maws), Often gives her hums and haws . This is the end of our rhythm and rhyme. But don ' t you agree, Form I is just fine. Teachers ' Christian Fellowship (T.C.F.) ThE T.C.F. of 1953 and 1954 had forty members, and an average attendance at every meeting was about twenty-five. The meetings were composed of prayer, sing- songs, Bible study in the Book of Timothy and discussions to help young Christians learn God ' s plan for their lives and to help them lead a life worthy of the name Christian. This group aimed at a social evening once a month, at which they enjoyed sing- songs, games, a special speaker who brought them a message, and refreshments. Officers of T.C.F. were as follows: President — Edwin Kempling. Vice-President — Verne Harvey. Secretary-Treasurer — Aletha Buchner.

Brian H. : Man or woman? Mr. O ' Neil: And how was nickel ore dis- covered? Bob C. : They smelt it. Barbara B., at the gate with her beau: Good-night. Verne H.: It was nice no-ing you. Social Events Form III Party ThE first form party, given by Form III, really started this year ' s social whirl off with a bang. It was given the night of October 26 and, being so close to Hallowe ' en, was, of course, a Hallowe ' en Party. The reception (I never did find out just what his or her name was) was rather a tall, slim fellow, who looked like he could do with a good meal. He met the guests at the landing of the main stairs. Just in case you don ' t remember, it was Miss Conover ' s skeleton, which she usually keeps tucked away in one of her closets. Being a very informal affair, most of the guests were clad in blue jeans, slacks, bright shirts, sweaters, etc. The events started in the auditorium with a sing-song, and from there the guests proceeded to the gym where there was square dancing. Others preferred the games in the music room or round dancing in the common room. To end the evening, sandwiches, and cider were served. Did the farmer who sold the cider ever get all his jugs returned? JO NAISH. Social Events Form IV Party C3n MONDAY, NOVEMBER 16, teachers, students and guests thronged into the auditori- um for a rollicking sing-song to start Form IV ' s Sweater Swing . After a gay programme each group went to its designated room to begin square dancing, round dancing, or games. As one entered these rooms, colourful decorations and crimson and gold streamers helped to carry out the theme of the party. Glittering records, dancing silhouettes, a clothesline of sweaters and musical instruments adorned the walls of the Common Room. In the gymnasium experienced sets of dancers went through each square dance for the benefit of those unfamiliar with this type of dancing. But even though a few couples did get mixed up, it only added more laughs to the evening. In the games room, students and guests attempted such a difficult relay as passing a grapefruit with the chin. Needless to say, one was greatly tempted to use one ' s hand rather than let the grapefruit fall to the floor. Refreshments of lemonade and cake were served in the main hall as a climax to the evening. Form 1 Party W EARIN ' O ' THE GREEN : That was the name of Form I ' s eve of St. Patrick ' s Day party. Everyone, and we mean everyone, had something on that was green. A very interesting programme featuring Irish singers and dancers started the evening in the auditorium. The main attraction of the evening was dancing in the lower front hall and a waltz contest. Joyce Hicks and her partner won this contest. Refreshments were served buffet style in the second floor main hall. JO NAISH. Mr. Hyde: If you added 600,043 and 72 and divided by 12, what would you get? Brian Hunter: The wrong answer. Mr. O ' Neil: Name three articles contain- ing starch. Doran: Two collars and a cuff. Alone in the moonlight is more fun if you aren ' t. Why stinks the goat upon the hill Who has his share of chlorophyll? What kind of monkeys grow on vines? Answer: Grey-apes. Question: How is it that a brown cow eats green grass to give white milk which makes yellow butter? Answer: For the same reason a black- berry is red when it ' s green. Bruce Chapman: Let ' s walk through the garden. Jean Derbyshire: I ' m afraid if you do, you ' ll Bruce Chapman: No, honestly I won ' t. Jean Derbyshire: Oh, what ' s the use then? Social Events The Highland Fling v ' N JANUARY 26, 1954, nearly two hundred plaid-clad students and guests assembled in L.T.C. to participate in the Highland Fling , Form Five ' s class party. Bright plaids and gay scotty dogs adorned the welcome signs on the stairs. Even Scotland would have been amazed at the variety of plaids worn by the students. One example was Doran McTaggart ' s stunning twin sister, dressed in plaid kilt, tam and bathrobe. Her make-up was by Mack ' s factory . A variety programme with highland dancing by Shiela Wicks, a comedy number by Gord Jones and a sing-song started the evening. The music room was the scene of the Highland Games, where a penny carnival was held. The room was decorated with gay balloons and streamers. There were games and prizes in every booth. There were games in the library especially for the Scotsman — they were free! There was dancing in the Common Room. The special events were spot, bingo and elimination dances. A lunch of sandwiches, cookies and coffee rounded off a pleasant evening. 1 ORM 6 ' s Cupid Capers was held on February 26 and, as the name suggests, it was centered around the most romantic day of the year. The School was appropriately and gaily decorated for the occasion. The Mys- tery Draw was the main feature of the evening and was won by Helen McAsh and a visitor. They were the King and Queen of Hearts. Dancing and games were enjoyed in the gymnasium and the art room. At the close of the evening a delicious lunch was served. Cupid Capers Social Events Hamilton Visits London N DECEMBER 11, 1953, almost 100 students from the Hamilton Teachers ' College came to our Alma Mater. Two basketball games were played at Beal Technical School, with both our girls ' and boys ' teams coming out on top. The Boys ' Athletic and the Girls ' Athletic arranged a banquet which was served at the Technical School. Both Hamilton and London Teachers ' Colleges ' students attended. Later in the evening a variety show was presented in the London Teachers ' College auditorium. George Wortley was master of ceremonies. Included in the programme were: Doran McTaggart, who sang Mammy ; Marilyn Coulter, who sang The Christmas Song , and Russ Workman, who sang The Birth of the Blues . After the programme there was dancing in the gym and in the Common Room. The poor kids from Hamilton had never been in a real Teachers ' College. They wanted to feel the walls. The Hamilton students left around eleven o ' clock. It was really fun having them. Hope they liked being here as much as we enjoyed having them. -L RID AY, MARCH 12, 1954, will be a date long remembered by London Teachers ' College students of ' 53- ' 54. That ' s the day we went to Hamilton, and what a time we had! Hamilton students had a brass band out to meet us and Welcome London was writ- ten throughout the school, or should it be church? We arrived there shortly after 2 p.m., and many were given guided tours around the school before going into their huge gymnasium to see two basketball games. The girls ' score was 24-24; our boys won, as did the floor hockey team. Dinner was served in the main hall. Immediately after dinner the floor hockey teams went into action. A variety show followed. It consisted of highlights from the H.T.C. literary programmes. A one-act play, The Wedding, was presented. Round dancing and square dancing fol- lowed. Before the London students departed, a lunch was served. As the guests boarded their buses, the H.T.C. band played So Long, It ' s Been Good to Know You. Thanks again, Hamilton. We enjoyed every minute of it. We, in London, are looking forward to the day when Barbara McLeod ' s poem Love Our H.T.C. or Move Your Desk Over, You ' re Sitting On My Lap is no longer a reality. London Visits Hamilton JO NAISH. Our Trip to Toronto February 19, 1954, the long-awaited day, had arrived! All over the City of London at six o ' clock two hundred and fifty tired teacher-trainees tumbled out of bed, bemoaning the fact that days always begin with mornings. However, it wasn ' t long before everyone was caught up in the spirit of adventure and had gulped down their breakfasts and tore out of the house, banging luggage against doors in the process. At the early hour of seven, the stately walls of the C.N.R. station welcomed and then waved good-bye to the would-be Toronto tourists. The iron horse puffed out of the station at 7:15 a.m., right on time, which is really re- markable, considering those people that were on it and the condition there were in at that hour. Every car on our private train enjoyed its round of hearty community singing and wild card playing. By 9:27 everyone was completely awake and anxious for the actual visit to begin as we chugged into Toronto ' s Union Station. Two special streetcars were awaiting our arrival. They whisked us off, only to deposit some at the Art Gallery. The rest journeyed on to the Museum. Those who made the visit to one of Canada ' s foremost Art Galleries with Miss Emery fully enjoyed viewing the Ontario Society of Artists ' annual exhibit and the Old Masters of the 15th- 18th centuries. Those at the Museum divided into small groups to see such sections as the Elizabethan, Science in the Rocks, Egyptian, American Indian, Natural Science and Prehistoric Man. I think it is quite safe to say that, while the students were greatly impressed by what they saw, everyone was quite happy that they live in Canada in the 20th century. As always, time was the worst enemy. The hands of the clock drew warningly near the hour of one. Students swallowed whole hot beef sandwiches and choked down cold coffee. Soon 250 young people raced up University Avenue, only to stop at the bottom of the approach to walk up to the Parliament Buildings, in a dignified manner befitting our future profession. We were cordially welcomed by local members who were present, also Hon. W. J. Dun- lop, Minister of Education, and Hon. M. C. Davies, Speaker of the House. Hon. Mr. Dunlop referred to schools as the workshop of democracy and wished us every success in our new career. Gary Cruikshank, Prime Minister of the Students ' Parliament of London Teachers ' Col- lege, thanked the local members, and all the Members of Parliament for permitting our visit. It was then that Premier Leslie Frost arrived and gave us his words of welcome. He expressed his own personal affection for London because of past family connections here, and wished us all good fortune in the coming years. At two o ' clock the regular session began. The students took their places in the right and left balconies. The staff and students holding executive positions in the College were very fortunate in obtaining seats in the Speakers ' gallery. Having opened the session, the Speaker again welcomed us formaly before the seated House. This opportunity of seeing our Provincial government at work was, for many, a thrill- ing experience. I can ' t help but think of the silent prayers that went up during the state opening: that we would always have a form of government where this was possible. By 4:30 p.m. most of the students had departed, headed either for rooms at a swank hotel, a place at the Y , or bed in the homes of relatives. Many students attended the Symphony Concert at Massey Hall Friday evening. Satur- day evening sports enthusiasts saw the Detroit Red Wings lace the Maple Leafs. Sunday found most of the students tired and ready to head for home . It is with fond memories we remember our trip to Toronto; the funny things that happened, the thought- provoking things we heard and the grandeur of culture we saw. We are particular ly grate- ful to Miss Conover, Miss Emery, Miss Bergey, Miss Lancaster, Miss Singer, Mr. Dobrindt, Mr. Hyde and Mr. Biehl for accompanying us and making the wonderful trip possible. JO NAISH. Music Christmas Pageant DECEMBER 19, 1953 an extremely effective Yuletide fashion, the students of the London Teachers ' Col- lege offered their Christmas presentation to a full auditorium of parents and friends. As the guests arrived in the main hall, a beautiful Christmas scene greeted them. The admonition Deck the Halls was strik- ingly heeded. One hundred and eighty Glee Club members took part in the presen- tation. Sixty girls, carrying lighted tapers, lined the central stairs, forming a very im- pressive background for the bower of green- ery and Christmas trees. The season ' s greetings were said in song, and the narration of the Christmas story was given. A candlelight processional opened the evening ' s presentation. With soloist Jim Stanley, Windsor, the robust Master ' s in This Hall followed. The Stud- ent Parliament president, Gary Cruickshank, St. Thomas, then extended greetings to the audience. Christmas Through the Ages was the title for the pageant of tableau and song. Our music directress, Miss Rhena Mcllroy, was in charge of the performance, assisted by Miss M. Lancaster and Miss G. Bergey. Edwin Kempling proved to be a very ac- complished narrator. The first part, known as Christmas in Prophecy , consisted of four Handel selections, with Graham Shantz, London, taking the solo Comfort Ye and Carol Hussey ' s song Then Shall the Eyes of the Blind be Opened . The Gregorian chant O Come, Emmanuel was also sung by the choir. Part two, The First Christmas, was opened and closed with the singing of Christmas carols by the choir and audience. Included in this second part was a beauti- ful soprano solo, The Virgin ' s Slumber Song, by Mary Ann Harker. Annabelle Smith, Innerkip, and Bruce Chapman, Lon- don, directed two separate selections in part two. An interpretation of Silent Night in Angel tableau form was effective- ly presented while the choir sang the fam- iliar age-old melody. Part three, Christmas Customs, afforded an opportunity for students to portray Old World customs. These carol singers, cos- tumed in traditional fashion, proceeded up the aisle of the auditorium, acting and sing- ing many of the beloved carols. Bev. Gale, Ailsa Craig, ended this part of the pageant with the singing of The Twelve Days of Christmas . The fourth and last part was highlighted by conducting of The Hallelujah Chorus by the Director of Music for the Ontario Department of Education, Dr. G. Roy Fen- wick. Pianists for the evening were: Shirley McComb, St. Thomas; Margaret Dow, Lon- don; Frances Chalcraft, London, and Stan Werden, Alvinston. The audience was invited to Open House to view displays of students ' work in various classrooms. Miss E. G. Conover, Dean of Women, was in charge of the re- freshment hour that followed.

Boys ' Sports Basketball The men of Teachers ' College have given good account of themselves in athletics this year. The basketball team was one which the area schools will not forget for some years to come. Out of fifteen games played, only four were lost and the team redeemed them- selves by defeating three of the teams to which they lost. A rematch could not be arranged with the fourth. Starring on the team were: Don Whitney, smooth and steady; Ken Moir, the shooter; Dick Foxcroft, quick and accurate; Bob Wood, rebound boy; Bruce Slater, six-foot- six of centre; and John Luft, playmaker. Providing playing support when neces- sary and moral support always were the Splinter Kings: Jim Walker, George Wort- ley, Doran McTaggart, Gary Cruickshank and Bill Carey. The highlights of the basketball season were the defeats of Hamilton, here and at Hamilton; the defeat of the London area Secondary Schools Champions, and the de- feat of the Windsor L.N.S. Grads. Noon-Hour League The men of the School who were not on the regular team were organized into four teams under the expert coaching of the reg- ular players. After a series of fast games between well-matched teams. Ken Moir ' s Team One emerged victorious. Floor Hockey The floor hockey season, while short, was extremely successful, with the L.T.C. team winning both games which they played. Hamilton Teachers ' College was downed 4- 1 at the season ' s climax. The team was coached by Bob Carle. Ping Pong An astounding quantity of latent athletic ability appeared when someone produced a little white cellulose ball. The final series between Ray Drimmie and lack Fisher went the full seven games. Ray was edged out in the last game, so Jack is our champion. Checkers Athletics this year was extended to take in nimble minds as well as feet. Paul Zavitz was beaten out by Bob Carle in a gruelling battle of brains, leaving Bob in undisputed possession of the checker championship. The Athletic Society George Wortley as president and Robert Carle as secretary-treasurer, advised by Mr. O ' Neill, ably led the society consisting of Bruce Slater, Bud Garrod, Dick Foxcroft, John Luft and Don Whitney through a very successful year. Golf Plans for a golf tournament to take place in May are now in the making. Girls ' Sports ThE EXECUTIVE of the Girls ' Athletic Society was elected early in Septem- ber: President — Jackie Welch.

Basketball The girls ' team this year has certainly lived up to the tradition of previous years as they opened the season with a win over Beal Tech. by 30 points. Following this wonderful start, the girls went on to down Exeter, Central and Beck Collegiates. The only two defeats suffered by the team were at the hands of the girls on the first rate U.W.O. team. The highlights of the season were the two games with the Hamilton Teachers ' College. The first game with the rival college was a huge success, for London; and the second game ended in a tie. The spirit of teamwork was evident in evey game the team played, as each girl worked, not for herself, but for the success of the team. It ' s been a terrific season! Volleyball Although the team did not play many games, they won exactly half of those they did play. Nancy Neill was the coach of the team and was also responsible for arranging the games. Ricka boom, ricka boom-a-ricka boom bang, Come on, team, let ' s beat this gang. Servers, boosters, spikers, we We ' re the champs from L.T.C. Yeah team! — (Cheer by Shirley McComb.)

NELLIE PETRYSCHUK. School days, school days, Dear, progressive school days! No one taught ' riting or ' rithmetic. Never a sign of a hick ' ry stick. Mornings, you ' d play and loaf and chat, Afternoons, tours to this and that, Or tests to find what you ' re gifted at — They never found nothing for me. School days, school days. Mad, progressive school days! Rhythmics, map reading, untidy art, Taught to the tune of a Guidance Chart. I was a boy with low I.Q., You were a bit subnormal, too; Though none of us worked, we all got through — Though how is a myst ' ry to me. ODDS AND ENDS The History Books ' Missed the Point ' (On learning that the decimal fraction was introduced at the time of the French Revolution.) In FRANCE in 1789 There was a great uprising. But when you know the reason why It ' s really not surprising! I always thought the peasants Had had enough of Louis ' tricks. Not so, I find — the reason real Was the decimal 666. Jean Val Jean and all his pals Had found life pretty rough, But when they saw that decimal They said, We ' ve had enough. The Third Estate got up in arms And decided to take action. They said that life was grim before But they couldn ' t face that fraction. The fractions that they used before The bourgeoisie thought were fine. Thought vulgar and improper. They were better than point 9. When prisoners freed from the grim Bastille Heard about that decimal 7 They rushed back in and locked the door. They thought that jail was heaven! King Louis had it coming, I ' m sure you will agree. But he was lucky — no need to learn The decimal 333. Why France celebrates July 14 Is a mystery to me. For we still have the decimal fraction And we ' ll never more be free. AGNES HILBORN, Form 5.
