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.

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. JIM GRAVES Editor Spectrum Staff: Standing, left to right: Laura Brooker, Tom Noble, Photography; June Randall; Mr. S.J. Rogers, Staff Advisor; Judy Steadman; Glen Eastabrook; Joyce Hustler. Seated: Roger Black, Business Manager; Carol Ewart, Social Editor; Jim Graves, Editor; Jim Harrison, Assistant Editor. Page 8, Spectrum, 1955

Form I J- ORM I was very well numbered this year, for in most school activities they were first. 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
