THE VOICE OF LONDON TEACHERS ' COLLEGE Dedication IN RECOGNITION OF HER YEARS OF LOYAL SERVICE TO LONDON TEACHERS ' COLLEGE, THE STAFF AND STUDENT BODY RESPECTFULLY DEDICATE THIS ISSUE OF THE SPECTRUM TO MISS DOROTHY EMERY, a.o.c.a.. WHO IS LEAVING US AT END OF THIS TERM. MISS EMERY came to the London Normal School in 1922 under the Prinripalship of Mr. Wm. Prendergast. For over thirty years she has ruled beneficently over that part of the school popularly termed The Temple of Art. Miss Emery ' s professional skill commanded the confidence of the teachers-in-training. Her aim, however, was not to secure imitation but interpreta- tion and self-expression. Her classes were never dull. Her progressive outlook and her personal enthusiasm were a continuous challenge. Miss Emery ' s students, especially the many not gifted in art, will always remember her kindness as a critic, her whole-hearted appreciation of effort, and her encouraging approval of any measure of success. Her colleagues too will always remember the charm of her conversation. She was interested in their interests and quick to catch their points of view. Her gentle dignity, her ready wit and her infectious spirit of happiness have endeared her to all who have been associated with her. When the School celebrated special occasions, Miss Emery was often the inspiring genius and she and her students could always be counted upon to supply appropriate artistic settings for the activities. Great teachers have always been great person- alities. Miss Emery is interested in music and the drama; she is a student of literature, history and philosophy; and in her rare vacations she has man- aged to travel widely. Miss Emery ' s colleagues and students wish her many happy years of activity in those fields for which she has so richly prepared herself. 1955 Spectrum, Page 1 Greetings from the Minister M OST gratifying it is to me to know that there are in the Teachers ' Colleges of Ontario this year nearly 2700 prospective teachers, an increase of more than 1000 over last year ' s enrolment. To me that is a clear indication that young men and women are beginning to realize, more than ever before, the opportunities for rendering public service which the teaching profession provides for its members. Of course, our profession offers other advantages in these modern times, as, for example, good salaries, security, and an enjoyable life. This year I have had a good many reports to the effect that the students in our Teachers ' Colleges are, on the whole, more responsible, more enthusiastic, and more buoyant than was the case years ago. That is gratifying, too, and may be due, as I think it is, to the new status and the greater prestige now enjoyed by the members of our profession. I hope you will face your new task next September cheerfully and happily in order that you may be able to perform your duties efficiently. A certain Service Club admonishes its members in this sentence; Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Perhaps we cannot always carry out this admonition fully but it is a good idea to try to do so. Nor will you be carried away, I hope, with any of the so-called new and unsound ideas regarding education because, in this old world, there are certain fundamental principles which never change, never have changed, and never will change. Of course, we make progress but always we hold fast that which is good. We must provide a good basic education which will equip the pupils of today for the duties of adult life which means that they must learn to work hard while they are in school; enjoy play when play is in order; and become accustomed to good firm discipline at all times. To the members of the staff of the London Teachers ' College and to all the students of that great institution, I send my personal good wishes for abundant success in all that you undertake. December 14th, 1954. Page 2, Spectrum, 1955 Echoes OnE of the four pillars supporting the Speaker ' s gallery in the Ontario Legislative Chamber bears the inscription, Spectemur acendo — Let us be viewed by our actions. For teachers, here is a thought at once inspiring and chastening — inspiring as it encourages us to act as we would wish our pupils to act; chastening as it requires us to assess our individual shortcomings. Your actions as a teacher will be reflected over and over again in the interests and attitudes developed by the boys and girls in your classroom. May you strive constantly to provide, in all that you do, a worthy example for the children in your care. Then, indeed, will your echoes roll from soul to soul And grow forever and forever. To each of you I extend all good wishes for success and happiness. F. S. RIVERS Superintendent of Professional Training 1955 Spectrum, Page 3 Message to the Graduating Class of 1955 T J_ WO afternoons a week, from four till stomachs cry supper time, John coaches the senior boys, marching with the seasons from soccer into hockey, basketball into Softball. One night a week John weaves thirty-five individualistic tunes from as many young throats into one strand of choral harmony. John ' s other nights are devoured in preparing next day ' s dozen lessons, and in red-pencilling stacks of exercises that would otherwise bury his desk. Since he is only human — and young too — there are times when John wonders if the game is worth the candle, especially when that candle is being burnt at both ends. Nevertheless John knows that, taking the rough with the smooth, he is happier now than he has ever been. In the only way that one can learn it, by discovering it for himself, he has found the age-old secret of happiness: that one loves life most when his engine turns over at full capacity at a job which it can do, and which the engineer knows is worth the doing. Yet, at this time of the ever-shrinking work week, there are those who wonder at John ' s wisdom. And some of these voices are raised even in John ' s chosen work of teaching. You and I, however, would agree with John. We are in a job which lies in the no-man ' s-land between trade and profession. We want to push it over the line towards a profession. But professions are distinguished by several characteristics. One of these is the absence of clock-watching by its members. A professional worker lives his life resenting the iron frame of a day which contains only 24 hours. For him there are always many more things to do than hours to do them in. I know that this year ' s class is going to push our common job an inch further through the no-man ' s-land and towards professionalism. Like John, you will rev your mental engines faster than they have ever revved before. Like John, you will have times of utter bone-weariness. But also, like John you will gain glimpses of that kind of happiness, which of all the forms of happiness is the one that satisfies most and endures longest. F. C. BIEHL Principal Page 4, Spectrum, 1955 1955 Spectrum, Page 5 Page 6, Spectrum, 1955 1955 Spectrum, Page 7 Jim Graves, Editor-in-Chief Editor ' s Message A x X.S you read this, most of the school year will have already passed into history, and the bulk of the work of the editorial staff will have been completed. This is not the first issue of the Spectrum; it will not be the last; nevertheless, it is an important issue because it is yours. The many months of planning and hours of toil by the Spectrum staff have been for you. During our brief stay at Teachers ' College, we make many friends, and spend many happy hours. Some of us are fortunate enough to maintain these friendships over the years; but, for most of us, as we scatter like blown leaves to the four corners of the province, only a few cherished memories will remain. It is the hope of the 1955 Spectrum staff that this issue of the Spectrum will help pave the pathway from today to your future with fond memories.

Page 8, Spectrum, 1955 Morley Patterson Student Prime Minister Prime Minister ' s Message T JL HIS year of College has been one which I can say I ve enjoyed to the fullest extent. The co-operation of both staff and students has made it a most enjoyable experience. Together this vear we have set a record which, I believe, may well prove  challenge to future classes — as a record to be maintained, not to mention exceeded. W hen we go out to our respective classrooms in September of this year, we shall understand more fully the importance of what we have learned here. We shall realize the great responsibilitv which is ours to help mould the minds and characters of Canada ' s future citizens. None of us will forget the delightful times we spent at the College. Such pleasant interludes as parties, sports, c ommon room activities and literary programs will never be forgotten; neither will the associations formed and the incidents enjoyed in our particular forms. I ' m sure that each one of us has also realized while being at College that God, our Creator, has a definite place in a teacher ' s life. By applying the knowledge we have learned at L. T. C, by using to the full the talents that God has given us; and by placing our trust in an omnipresent and omnipotent God, we can make our full contribution to life and derive the utmost satisfaction in so doing. Best of Luck, everyone, MORLEY PATTERSON, Prime Minister, L. T. C. STUDENT PARLIAMENT Seated (L. to R.): Lorraine Walker, Jeanette Webster (Secy.), Morley Patterson (P.M.), Ted Taylor (Treas.), Marg.

They were the first to give the students both round and square dancing at a school party, and thereby set a pattern which was followed throughout the year by other classes. Although Form I never became sports champion, it did become a runner-up on several occasions. Members of the Form were the spark plugs of the school basketball team, Marvin Le Clair being the high scorer on the boys ' team. The fearsome fivesome formed Form I ' s own personal basketball team. Among their opponents were groups from Paris, Ingersoll, Watford, and even clubs which our own College team had played. During the season Form I ' s team lost one game and that by only 2 points. Class representatives to the school committees were: Representative on the Student Parliament, Marvin Le Clair; Literary Representative, Ann Gordon; Girls ' Athletic Committee, Marilyn Hutton; Boys ' Athletic Committee, Jim Castle; Elected editor of the Year Book, Jim Graves. In the opinion of many, the Form I literary programme was the best of the year. It too was a series of firsts. It was the first and only literary programme to supply printed programmes which gave the names of the cast and of other helpers; the first programme which did not lose time by opening and closing curtains between numbers; and the best timed production, using all but 37 seconds of the time allowed. Form I had only one class party during the year. It found such gatherings unnecessary, as everyone was always very sociable. There were no little groups in Form I; they were one for all and all for I. With spirit such as Form I ' s, we can look forward to another successful year in 1956. J.G. Pase 10, Spectrum, 1955 Form II We E are the other half of the folks in the first year of the two year Course. You may not have heard much about us, but that doesn ' t mean we haven ' t been around. We helped Forms I, III and IV in the fall on the boys ' Soccer, Football and Volleyball teams. We have placed members of our class on all but one of the school teams. Ted Taylor, our Money Man in Parliament, makes his home with us. For our party, we combined with Form I to bring to the College the best all-round dance and entertainment programme. This programme allowed for a perfect set-up with round dancing in the Common Room and square dancing in the Gym. For out literary programme, we entertained the student body with a play on the history of the Red Cross. Janice Mills was our representative to the Literary Society. Phil Sorrill was elected as vice-president in the College Christian Fellowship and we hope to hear more from him next year. What would the Cheer Leaders be like without the help of our Mary Jane O ' Rourke? We come from places as far apart as Windsor and Woodstock, Parkhill and St. Thomas, but we have worked as a team to improve the spirit of L. T. C. The following are the members of that great team: Marlene Mackenzie Kathryn MacMillan Maurine McCarron Ruth McEachran Lois McKillop Bob McPherson Ann Nabb Carol Needham Janet Nussey Joan Oliver Dorothy O ' Neill Trudy Pickard Martha Deacon Betty Richardson Evelyn Sharrow Eileen Sovie Arlene Stanley Helen Stipsky Joyce Swan John Thomas Shirley Thompson Ann Tuffin Glen Wales Mary Watson Kay Winterhalt Carol Anne Wounch — and Yours Truly Tom Noble. 1955 Spectrum, Page 11 Form III In September, 1953, more than fifty students (with doubts in their minds) entered the Two-Year Course at Teachers ' College. There were differences in background, age and experience. Today, Form III is one big happy family, sharing remembrances of happy times in the two years spent together. Time and weather permitting, the members have always been eager for a get-together. A Fall wiener roast was held at Gibbons Park. Another outdoor highlight was the skating party held at London West Park. Since many had not tried the blades for some time, the spill-and-thrill method was most prevalent; however, happy and hungry skaters returned to the College to end the evening with refreshments and sing-song. Two members of Form III, Morley Patterson, Prime Minister of the Student Parliament, and Lois-Anne Hall, President of the Literary Society, have done much for the school. Marked creative ability has been shown by Brian Hunter, designer of the Spectrum cover, and Bruce Chapman, designer of the school crest and Past President of the Glee Club. Although many of the girls of the class are hopefuls, Donna Baughmann was the only one to succeed in flashing a diamond. She has ' far to go yet before catching up to Mrs. Harrington, who produced a new grandchild this year. As the time approaches when we are to take our first positions, feelings of loneliness creep over us. Our class- mates and masters will never be forgotten.

For some, athletic events, for others, class activities or social events, will provide nostalgic memories. The year has been one of enjoyment, as well as one of profit. Foremost in our memories will be our school party, Winter Wonderland : its early planning, the arguments over arrangements, and the last minute rushing and the success of the party itself. We owe much of this success to the Chairman, Joanne Craig, and to Donna Burk and Bev. Douglas, the Literary Representatives, for their frantic, lasp- minute preparations. The stage show was lauded by all. Earl Fletcher and Ross Hickling in their skit revealed a new touch of comedy genius of insanity. Irv. Horton and Doug. Hardy were also hits with their version of Sisters. An added attraction was some hand-balancing by Doug. Hardy and two boys from Central Collegiate. We also had a kick-line: Eleanor Chitty, Marg. Campbell, Barb. Cooper, Elaine Cole, Pat. Carter, Kay Campbell, Yal. Davidson, and Shirley Donaldson under Jack Harris ' training. No one will or can ever forget our highlight of the night: the beauty contest, and ravishing and beauteous creatures parading across the stage in flamboyant arrays of fashion. Of you, Miss (?) Jack Harris, crowned Miss L.T.C. of ' 55, all future generations of teachers shall know. In music, Form Six was well represented. In the Concert at South Collegiate, the boys ' octet had Earl Fletcher, Ross Hickling and Terry Hanson. Throughout the year many singing groups were formed: The Moonshiners with Harry Fiddler, Douglas Hardy, Irving Horton and Don. Smith of Form Four, the Gleesome Threesome with Irv., Harry, and Arnie McCallum of Form Seven. The Glee Club found many members in Form Six. In sports, Form Six also held the limelight. The boys captured the soccer and volley-ball championships. Irv. Horton, Garry Douglas, Tom Hoffman, Doug. Hardy, Earl Fletcher, and Harry Fiddler were on the school basketball team. Alvin Gilles, Glen Duff and Earl Fletcher were on the school volley ball team. Peter Gazzola will remember the noon-hour games of floor hockey. Spectators and players will remember the blood and gore around Pete ' s nets. Form Six girls were also active in athletics. They were runners-up in the volley-ball and basketball championships, but lost to the all-girl forms. Elaine Cole and Barbara Cooper were on the school volley-ball and basketball teams. We had two class parties: a weiner roast and skating party. Eleanor Chitty was director for the November Literary Programme called Negro Slavery. Doug. Nixon will be remembered as Flash, photographer for Form Six. Doug, was present at all our activities and thanks to him we have concrete proof of our antics. For all of us, memories will live of Mr. Hyde, staff advisor, and Form Six, L.T.C, 1955- GLEN EASTABROOK Page 28, Spectrum, 1955 Form VI MARY LOU BUCK 48 Alexandria Ave., St. Thomas.

Many might question the title, but one look at those angels — Barb Gray (Literary Rep.), Sylvia Hall (Music Rep.) and Carol Ewart ( Spectrum staff) — and you know you are in heaven. We haven ' t got Gabriel and his horn; Paul Knapper with his banjo and John Lillie with his piano provide all our music. Right from September, we knew we were in Paradise. Saint Peter was there, too — you know that fellow who is apt in the art of arguing, Humphrey by name (ably assisted by that cute little cherub, Mickey). To add a bit of sparkle to our Paradise, we had the Diamond Quartette — Lillian, Barbara, Donna and Carol Ann. Even Heaven isn ' t complete without Jolly Old Saint Nick, and:we had him on the evening of our Christmas Party. Jolly Old John distributed gifts to all the good boys and girls. When we ventured out of Seventh Heaven for our Valentine Party, it was a heavenly success. Who could forget Ronalda, Jimtina, Dickie, Jackie, Elwoodina and Arnie as those Paris Lovelies? Our first Literary Programme also had a touch of the ethereal. During rehearsals, the Wandering Spaniard seemed to turn up in the oddest places. Are you supernatural, Dave? Heaven is supposed to be full of angels and we have them. Helen, Shirley, Roberta, Rosemary and Mary Ann have their first-class angel certificates. But we have the other kind, too — devils, you know . Jack, Verne, Bob and Don howl every time they sit down : pitchforks get in the way! Seventh Heaven will long be remembered for the laughs, discussions and problems we encountered. Good luck to all Sevenites in the future.

Page 48, Spectrum, 1955 Form X Women, Women Everywhere! Just girls! , we all cried, aghast at our fate. Why we ' ll go through the year with nary a date! But we banded together in spite of our horror, And to our great pride, Form Ten s a rip-roarer! V V E may be just girls in Form Ten, but we really are the rootin ' est, tootin ' est form in L. T. C. From our very first day, we ' ve been one big happy family through thick and thin, and, we might add, haven ' t had such a wonderful time in years. Let us tell you just what we women did without men. First of all, we have talent. Many of our members took part in the Glee Club ' s Christmas concert. We worked and sang with the rest of the school to make it a real success. Marg, Carol Cherie and Ruth were Carolers and each a soloist. Both Jean, our violinist, and Helen, our page, did us proud when they performed so well. Thus you see we are talented musically. We have pianists, singers, and violin- ists in our midst. However, music is not our only talent. Form Ten even dabbled in the dramatic arts. We must admit, not boast- fully at all, that our first literary effort was rather a mixture of Shakespeare, Ben Johnson, and a Touch of Genius, a product of Form Ten. Mr. Massey, our staff advisor, helped us and encouraged us through the days of trial and tribulation. Finally, we soothed our temperamental actors, gave courage to the timid, prompted the rest from back- stage, and produced a programme that amazed even us. Our choral verse, Sir Eglamore and the Dragon, was STU- PENDOUS! The historical play, After Queenston Heights — MAGNIFICENT! our radio play, Hansel and Gretel — COLOSSAL! The heroines of the day were our three di rectors, Peggy, Eleanor, and Jeanette. I know you must feel pretty discouraged about this .time. We ARE talented, aren ' t we? But just wait — We ' re not only cultured. We ' re athletic! We won both championships in women ' s volleyball and basketball and hope to gain even further honours in the spring. Now you know what girls can accomplish on their own. Don ' t you wish you had been in Form Ten? JUDY STEADMAN 1955 Spectrum, Pase 49 Form X SISTER MARY BRENDAN London.

At the present Form Six stands undefeated at the top. When the enthusiasts were forced inside, a volley .ball schedule was drawn up. The league operated on a two- loss elimination basis, and this afforded great excitement. In the first game Form Seven defeated Form Six by five points. Team by team was eliminated until at last only Six, with one defeat, and Seven, with none, remained. In the first game afte r a hectic half hour, Six won by three points. The last game saw Six win by one point! Still the Superior Six! Deciding that Form Six needed a day of reckoning, Form Five labeled themselves the Ferocious Five and challenged Six to a game of floor hockey. We are certain no one will forget this game. A puck, twelve players, twelve sticks and even an occasional spectator went flying amid the gym beams. From the blood and gore crawled Five, no longer ferocious but victors by two goals. Ping Pong and basketball schedules are now being played. A track and field meet is considered for Spring. EXTRAMURAL SPORTS Basketball predominated our outside events. A soccer team was organized, but due to a shortage of opposition we had no games. There were five games of volley ball, two with Aylmer and three with Beck Collegiate. We won both games with Aylmer but only one with Beck. To date, L.T.C. has played nine basketball games. We lost only three of those to our seeming jinx, Beck; however, in the last game we lost by only six points compared to twenty-six in the second. Looking on the brighter side, we can record games won against Medway, South, Tech., Ingersoll D.C.I, and Hamilton Teachers ' College. The battle against our neighbouring Teachers ' College held the limelight among our games. The final score was 75-62. Yes, we have indeed had a memorable and exciting sports year at L.T.C.

Within seconds the curtain was up, and Form 3 was presenting its travelogue to an enthusiastic and well-packed auditorium. In a series of carefully-designed scenes, the players took their audience on a trip around the world, paying visits to Hawaii, Japan, Africa, Holland, and England. The skilfully-constumed members of Form Three had no difficulty in presenting convincing dramatizations of the customs of the people in the lands to which the audience had been carried away. Form 5 ' s programme of November 5th, which was based on a group of well-known operettas, provided an. interesting contrast in theme. Among the best-remembered songs, in which the audience willingly participated, were: There ' s No Business Like Show Business, Old Man River, and Some Enchanted Evening. A quiet family scene in front of the festive fireplace introduced the audience to Form 8 ' s play, The Night Before Christmas. The reading from the Bible of the beautiful Christmas story, the singing of carols, the decorating of the tree, and the welcoming of guests created the warm atmosphere of family life at Yuletide. An attempt was made in the course of the presentation to explain some of the symbolism associated with Christmas, so that the audience was .able to go away at the end well-entertained and a little better informed. On November 12th, Form 6 presented a programme based on the theme, The Abolition of Slavery. After the singing of Swanee River, the curtains opened to reveal the dramatic court-scene in which Dred Scott struggled for his freedom. Other scenes from American history depicted the uncertain road towards final emancipation. Such a programme would be incomplete without its quota of negro spirituals, and it was with a sympathetic rendition of a selection of these that Form 6 brought its programme to a close. Literary Prog 1955 Spectrum, Page 63 On January 14, 1954, the lassies and lads (hypothetically; there are only lassies in Form IX) o ' the small Scottish town of Brigadoon held a fair. Suddenly the joyous atmosphere was disturbed by the arrival of two young men in very strange clothing. Fiona McLaren seemed very taken with one of these young men, a certain Tommy Albright. Fiona had Mr. Lundie, the schoolmaster, explain to these two young Canadians about Brigadoon. (For all those who dinna ken this tale, here it is in brief. The auld minister, Mr. Forsythe, knew a band of witches was coming to Brigadoon. He wanted to protect the folk of Brigadoon frae them, so he asked God for a miracle — asked Him, in fact, to make Brigadoon vanish and only to reappear one day every hundred years. This was exactly what happened, so, ye see, the date of 1754 was, for the Canadian visitors, 1954). In the evening, Fiona ' s sister, Jean, was married to Charlie Dalrymple, to the accompaniment of bagpipes. The guests expressed their joy by dancing the Eightsome Reel. As the last strains of the dance faded away, the Highland mist began falling, to hide Brigadoon for another hundred years. The climax of the day was that Tommy Albright decided that he loved Fiona enough to give up everything to stay in Brigadoon with her. His friend, Jeff Douglas, has to return to Canada alone. The first literary programme of 1955 was provided for us by Form I. It Was our first all-musical programme and was entitled Grandmother ' s and Grandfather ' s Memories in Music. The curtain opened to reveal an old couple looking through their photograph album and dreaming of past experiences. We were carried back with them to the various events as they appeared before us on the stage. As the play opened, they were dreaming of their Wedding Day in Scotland and a Scottish Wedding, complete with dancing was portrayed. Mary Eleanor Carmichael was the young bride and Don Campbell the groom. As the couple left Scotland, on their honeymoon, Anne Gordon sang, Will Ye No Come Back Again? Then to Ireland, where we learned from Mary O ' Clair and her band of Kerry Dancers how Ireland got its name. The scene then shifted to the United States and the old couple ' s Golden Wedding celebration at Birdland, New York. During this part of the programme, we were treated to a history of Jazz from its early beginnings to the present day. Not soon forgotten will be Carol Eldridge ' s rendition of The Birth of the Blues, and the sparkling Master of Ceremonies work done by Malcolm Kay. This play was written by Jim Graves and directed by Dorothy Heiser. The grandmother was played by Marion Hyder and the grandfather by Jim Graves. We wish to congratulate this extremely talented Form for what we think was the finest Literary Programme of the year. The second literary programme of the new year was Form II ' s Pageant of the ' Red Cross. The programme opened with a Swiss and Danish Dance, presented by a group of the girls. This was followed by the Pageant, which closed with the audience joining the Form in the singing of the Red Cross Song. 5fc s|c On February 21, members of Form X gave the audience a display of three types of applications which could be used in teaching certain lessons. The first was a display of choral verse using costumes and actions; the second, two short plays, After Queenston Heights, and Laura Secord; the third a radio play, Hansel and Gretel. Miss Peggy Stenback directed the whole programme. The last programme completed in time to be recorded was Form IV ' s A Nation Gives Thanks. The players presented scenes which depicted the humility of the early pilgrim fathers, the elation of the northerners after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and the real happiness of emancipated slaves. The programme was con- cluded with a modern thanksgiving scene set in a displaced person ' s camp, and in the presence of the Spirit of America. J.R. Page 64, Spectrum, 1955 Awakening Beneath a coverlet of dusky brown, A host of maidens fair lay fast asleep. They dreamed a dream of happy sun-filled hours, And of a vigil that they soon would keep. Their sleep was not disturbed; they slumbered on Until a gentle ray of light and heat, With great persistence struggled through the gloom To where the maidens fair lay fast asleep. The sunbeam touched each maiden on the brow; The sleeping beauties woke, but could not see. One cried, Oh, let us climb to heights above! And still another, Then we shall be free! They climbed and climbed until they reached the sun. They spread their golden gowns upon the hills. A passer-by in wandering through the fields Cried to his Love, Look, lovely daffodils! SHIRLEY FUNNELL. The Teacher Muses Year after year they come to me These children, with questioning looks; Year after year they leave me As they leave their outgrown books; And I wonder sometimes if I ' ve taught them Just some of the worthwhile things, Just some of the things they ' ll need in life, Be they peasants or poets or kings. Have I taught them the joy of clean living? That Honour is better than Fame? That good friends are the greatest of treasures? Wealth, less than an untarnished name? Have I taught them respect to the aged? Protection to those that are weak? That silence always is golden When gossip bids them speak? Have I taught them that Fear is a coward Who is beaten when they say, I can ' ? That Courtesy ranks with Courage In the heart of the real gentleman? Have I taught them these things and the others That will help make them brave, kind and true? If I have, then I care not if they tell me, That Irkutsk is a town in Peru. ANNE.

HUNTER With apologies to Shakespeare 1955 Spectrum, Page 65 The Student Teacher ' s Problem (ti ' i ' tb apologies to William Shakespeare) To teach, or not to teach — that is the question: Whether ' tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous lessons, Or to take arms against a sea of faces And bv opposing teach them? to refuse — to be silent — No more; and by silence to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks The teacher is heir to — ' tis a consumation Devoutly to be wish ' d. To do it — to teach — To teach! perchance to fail! Ay, there ' s the rub; For in this lesson of death what marks mav come When we have shuffled off this verbal coil Must give us pause. There ' s the respect That makes calamitv of so long lessons; For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, The pupil ' s wrong, the bright one ' s contumely, The pangs of despis ' d shills, the bell ' s delay, The insolence of parents, and the spurns That patient teacher of the unworthv takes, When he himself might his quietus make With silent tongue? Who would text-books bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary load, But that the dread of something after College, The undiscover ' d school of life from whose bourn No teacher returns, puzzles the will, And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than flv to others that we know not of? Thus training does make teachers of us all; And thus the native hue of education Is sicklied o ' er with the pale cast of thought, And lessons of great pith and moment With this regard their purpose turn awry And lose the name of learning. JEAN McPHEE. The Snow Over the hills and valleys of snow, Children, clad in bright warm clothes Plav merrilv; While all around us day awakes, Snow descends amid the sunrise glow Through the interlocking branches, A handkerchief of Queen Anne ' s lace Is made; But momentarily forgotten As it plunges forth into fathomless space. The glistening snow in all its beauty, Covering tree and bush and flower Creates a picture; But in the rainy, windy weather, Our picture is marred within an hour. Still they fall, and oh so softly, Through the twilight misty, yet bright, To the earth; Floating down the fluffy snowflakes Beautify the clear cold night. By VIOLA JENNER. 66, Spectrum, 1955 Social Events The rain did not dampen the spirits of those wonderful people, both staff and students, who organized our get-acquainted party. With games and sing-songs, laughs and lung power, we began our days at Teachers ' College. The party was a huge success. Thanks again to those who worked so hard. Fall Frolic - Form III Leaves, corn stalks, fruit, trees, and old rail fences were the setting for Form ' s Fall Frolic held on September 30th. Teachers, students and guests gathered in the auditorium for a rollicking sing-song, followed by solos, contests, and a rythm band. Everyone then proceeded to various rooms for fun and games. In the music room, were games of chance and side-shows; in the library, relay games; and in the gym, dancing was enjoyed amidst big silver stars, and streamers of yellow, green and brown. A delicious lunch was served as a climax to a very pleasant evening. Thanks to Lois-Anne Hall and her committee. Form I and II Party In November Forms I and II gave us the first double-barrelled party of the year. Although it was their first attempt at staging parties, they organized one of the most well-balanced programmes of the year. For dancing you could take your choice. There was square dancing to the music of a country orchestra in the rustic atmosphere of the gym, and round dancing in the common room to the best bands the record manufacturers could provide. Preceding this a star-studded stage show, which made good use of talent from both forms, was presented in the auditorium. Spook ' s Spree - Form IV Form IV ' s party on October 21st took the theme Spook ' s Spree in keeping with Hallowe ' en. Black cats, witches, pumpkins and black and orange streamers provided an ideal setting for the students in their colourful costumes. The high spot of the auditorium programme was Joanne O ' Connell ' s rendition of I ' m Going to Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair — complete with bare feet and long red hair. The music of Joe George and his group supplied the right tempo for dancing. Many thanks to Marion Johnston and her committee for all their hard work, especially for the doughnuts! Hats (and witches ' brooms) off to Form IV for a delightful party! Tinsel Toss - Form V Hello Hamilton, and welcome to Form V ' s Tinsel Toss. December 10th was a big day at L.T.C. for Hamilton Teachers ' College were visiting us. A large crowd of students cheered our school on to victory over the Hamilton girls ' and boys ' basketball teams. Being all tuckered out after the boisterous ovations, we really enjoyed the delicious banquet served in the cafeteria of the Beal Technical School. We then dashed off to L.T.C, where Alison Becket and her committee had arranged an evening of fun, including Santa Claus! Yes, he was there with a merry Ho, Ho, giving presents to all the good little boys and girls. (Don ' t you like that neon tie, Mr. D?). A giant Christmas tree and other festive decorations adorned the halls of the school giving a holiday air to the party. Square dancing in the gym and round dancing in the lower hall followed a riotous rendition of the playlet No Santa featuring Bill Dolbear as Marmaduke. Our Hamilton guests then trudged home through the ice and snow. So long, Hamilton; we hope you enjoyed your visit as much as we did. 1955 Spectrum, Page 67 Winter Wonderland - Form VI On January 20th, Form VI presented their Winter Wonderland. The gaily decorated gym featured delicate snow flakes, multi-coloured balloons and fir boughs. In this winter spirit they featured frolicking square-dancing. The music room became a game centre for Penny Bingo and checkers. The common-room featured large tinsel-stars, snow flakes, toboggans, skates and skis to provide a wonderland for dancing. Jo-Anne Craig and her committee, eager beavers that they were, produced a terrific stage show in the auditorium. It included a short play, chorus line (wow!), tumbling act and many other stellar attractions. A special event was the selecting of Miss L.T.C., Jack -aline Harris, that tall, slender doll in the pink knitted suit. Thanks Form VI. It was terrific. Valentine Venture - Form VII Be my Valentine was the invitation extended by Form VII to attend their party on February 10th. The Valentine Venture provided the right atmosphere for Cupid ' s arrows,, with gay hearts, a wishing well and even a Queen of Hearts, lovely Marilyn Hutton, so aptly crowned by our own Mr. Rogers. Many hearts were broken by those dancing lovelies, The Flora Dora Girls, (from Paris, you know), who were featured in the auditorium programme. Square dancing in the gaily-decorated gym, round dancing in the common room, and games of cards and bingo in the music room rounded out the evening of fun. After lunch was served by Nancy Glendinning and her committee, everyone and his favourite Valentine went home full of food and fun. Hearts and flowers to our favourite Valentines, to Carol Anne Franklin, chairman, and to Form VII for their Venture. C.E. The Annual Trip to Toronto Oh, ho iv we love to get up in the morning! Oh, how we love to ride the train! OUCH were the words, mumbled somewhat half-heartedly through chill lips, as nearly two hundred sleepy heroes clambered aboard the early morning train to Toronto. An hour later, things began to stir. Everyone was awake, the hour was more civilized, and Knapper and Hustler, ukelele playing cowboys, were there to set the giddy pace. By the time the train had pulled into Union Station, the energetic had ' bunny-hopped ' from one end of the train to the other and back. The second line of the refrain, at least, had taken on a more realistic meaning. Outside the station the party broke up. Some went to the Art Gallery to see the exhibition of Dutch master- pieces; some ploughed through snow-covered streets to the Canadian Gallery, and others found their way to the Royal Ontario Museum, where, following a conducted tour, they played follow-the-leader among the exhibits of American Indians, Prehistoric Man, and Elizabethan England. There was so much to see, and so little time, (we had to be at the Parliament Buildings at one o ' clock), that most of us determined that we would have to return. Having hastily swallowed lunches of ' we forget what, ' the party re-assembled at Queen ' s Park, breathless, but dignified. As we stood in awe in the aisle that separates the seats of the government from those of the opposition, we listened to words of welcome from the Minister of Education, and from other M.L.A. ' s who represented constit- uencies in our own districts. The beauty and stately appearance of the House caused us to meditate on the famous people who had passed through the exquisitely carved doorways behind us, on the many debates and discussions which had re-echoed from the walls of the chamber, and on the efforts of those, who, throughout history, had striven to mould and to pass on to us the democratic, and parliamentary form of government which we all cherish. At two o ' clock precisely, the Speaker arrived. From the East and West Galleries, we watched as the 5th Session of the 124th Legislature of the Province of Ontario got under way. Fascinated into silence, and often mystified by the speed with which business was handled, we sat with eyes and ears open wide. Those of us who secretly hoped for one of the little excitements that arise when party opinions clash, were disappointed. We had to rest content with the hustle and bustle caused by the fleet-footed page-boys who seemed to be in all places at the same time. Those poor boys should have roller-skates. By three-thirty, everyone had departed for his particular haven of refuge for the week-end. We heard about the floating strains of the Viennese waltzes that filled Massey Hall on Friday night, and about the hurly-burly of Saturday night ' s hockey game at Maple Leaf Gardens, as we journeyed home late Sunday night, sleepy once again, but happy in the thought of a week-end well spent. Our thanks go out to the staff members, and to all those kind people in Toronto whose efforts made our trip to the capital so enjoyable. C.E.

The spirit of cheer and goodwill that goes abroad to re-unite families and friends, on this the most celebrated of all birthday occasions, leaves indelible marks in our memories. A group of friends, and a few carols sung in the knowledge that another Christmas is around the corner, are all that are necessary to stir up the old memories — and to create new ones! Certainly, the many happy memories of those who took part in our Christmas Concert were widened and deepened by a moving experience. The inevitable worries and strains of rehearsal, the prolonged efforts to achieve perfection, and even the occasional moments of despair, have now been forgotten; they lie lost amid the excitement, the satisfaction, and the feeling of accomplishment that were ours as we stood together — 160 strong — and presented our programme from the stage of the auditorium at South Collegiate. We had an opportunity to sing the familiar Christmas carols, in some of which we were joined by our audience of relatives and other close friends, to experience again the inspirational music of the Messiah, and to enjoy a variety of individual and group numbers. Apart from the expansion which the programme provided for our store of memories, perhaps one of the most important outcomes was the fine spirit of co-operation which the undertaking engendered. The problems of organization and training within a limited period and in the face of competition from other College activities, the very difficulties and obstacles that we had to race together to make the programme possible, developed in us a feeling of unity — a closer ' family feeling, ' you might say. The high standard achieved was a reflection of the outstanding musical ability of Miss Mcllroy, who prepared and directed the choir, and of the keenness and co-operation of the members of the Glee Club. To these, and to all other staff members and students who helped in any way to provide us with this new Christmas memory, we send our thanks.
