FOR REFERENCE NOT TO BE TAKEN FROM THE ROOM WINDSOR TEACHERS ' COLLEGE LIBRAR? FOREWORD London Teachers ' College is a school with a clearly defined purpose — to pro- duce the best possible teachers for On- tario children. If we strive to be as enthusiastic and dedicated as the Mas- ters who trained us the children will be in excellent hands. As you read through the Spectrum you will remember our slow and occasionally hesitant progress towards this goal. It was sometimes difficult but it was often fun. We have not forgotten to include the lighter mo- ments for a sense of humour is as indis- pensable to a teacher as a red pencil! Registration, orientation, practice teach- ing, examinations and finally graduation — all were part of the plan to effect our Metamorphosis from would-be-teachers to polished professionals. To our new teachers, the graduates of 1963, we de- dicate this book. CONTENTS GREETINGS FACULTY CLASSES LITERARY MUSIC ATHLETICS SUCIAL EVENTS GRADUATIUN ADVERTISING The Minister Of Education It is a pleasure for me as Minister of Education to convey greetings and good wishes on behalf of the Government of Ontario to you, the students in attendance at the London Teachers ' College. The year has been a busy one, presenting challenges quite different from those of secondary school, but I know that you have worked well and faithfully and that those of you who are graduating this June will take up your duties with zeal and competence. The teaching profession demands the best from its members, and to advance in your chosen work you, yourselves, must con- tinue to grow intellectually and professionally. May you ap- proach your dual task of teaching and learning with the vigour, the enthusiasm, and the fresh outlook of youth. WILLIAM G. DAVIS, Minister of Education. Toronto, November 13, 1962. Next year you will do a number of wonderful things for the children whom you teach. Of all the wonders which teachers work, it sometimes seems to me that the greatest is that three-fold progression — building skills for reading, creating an appetite for reading, and developing a taste for good reading. The artisan teacher accomplishes the first; the craftsman achieves the second; to create the third demands the teaching artist. In my last message to you, let me tell you how a little boy discovered for himself the magical world of books. It is in one of Rudyard Kipling ' s short stories: Baa, Baa, Black Sheep . The hero is a five- year-old called Punch, who is exiled from his parents in India to a harsh preparatory school in England. Here is the first step: Aunty Rosa sat him upon a table and told him that AB meant ab- Why? said Punch. A is a and B is bee. Why does ABmean ab? Because I tell you it does, said Aunty Rosa, and you ' ve got to say it. Aunty Rosa wins, and Punch has to learn his abc ' s till: that week brought a great joy to Punch. He had repeated till he was thrice weary the statement that The Cat lay on the Mat and the Rat Came in. Now I can truly read, said Punch, and now I will never read anything in the world. So Punch was forced to learn something he did not want; and quite sensibly he made up his mind to waste no further time upon it. Yet you see what happens: He throws his loathed brown primer back into the classroom cupboard, and out there tumbles a tattered and coverless book of boys ' stories. Because there is nothing else for him to do, Punch begins to read for himself, and the miracle begins to unfold: This, says Punch, means things, and now I will know about everything in the world. So Punch found out for himself the greatest discovery that a child can make during his schooling, that all fairyland is to be won by the mere opening of a book. Punch had to make this discovery on his own, and in spite of his teacher. But my hope for you, and my parting wish to you, is that you will rise beyond the level of teaching artisan and craftsman to become a teaching artist. Then many of your children, too, will find out for themselves this greatest discovery in their whole education. — F. C. Biehl 5 In a museum in England there hangs a very simple but famous cartoon by Sir Max Beerbohm. It depicts a youth walking towards the horizon and on the horizon is a large question mark. The only caption on the cartoon is the simple word Whither? Whither is the younger generation heading? The answer to this question lies of course in the type of education its members are receiving. In these critical times are we being stamped into placing too much stress upon technological information, forgetting the moral and cultural aspects of a liberal education? The late Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt in her book, The Moral Basis of Democracy, states quite emphatically that one of the greatest assets a young person can have is a proper sense of values. If our leaders of the future are to be our educated members of society it is of utmost importance that their education should not be over-balanced in any one direction. It would be advisable for us to refresh our minds with the principles expressed by the philosopher John Locke, three centuries ago, in which he stated that education should encompass virtue, wisdom and learning, in that order of importance. In other words, of what use is the accumulation of knowledge unless one has the wisdom and character to apply such knowledge in the proper way for the benefit of his fellowmen? May I suggest that you, our graduates, will have a tremendous responsibility to the pupils who will be in your care. May you have the wisdom and character to start them on their way upward and not lead them into an abyss of confusion when determining what is desirable in life. — L. B. Hyde 6 Clergymen Instructing Religious Education To be of no church is dangerous. Religion, of which the rewards are distant, and which is ani- mated only by faith and hope, will glide by degrees out of the mind unless it be invigorated and reimpressed by external or- dinances, by stated calls to wor- ship, and the salutary influence of example.

Not the least of these was the spirit of co-operation and fellowship which prevailed throughout the school year. We would do well to carry this spirit with us as we enter the teaching profession. We will undoubtedly find that this spirit already exists among the staff of the school of our choice. Our enjoyment of our stay at that school will be greatly determined by the fullness of our co-operation and contribution as a staff member. Many of our fellow teachers will have an extensive background of teaching experience. Let us seek and accept advice from them so that we may become better teachers.

By its control of the budget, Student Parliament has control of every student activity in the college. Parliament is increasingly exercising its governing function in other directions. Students are responsible to Student Parliament for actions detrimental to the student body as a whole, rather than to the school administration. Parliament also acts as a liaison between the principal and staff on one hand, and the student body on the other. Suggestions from the student body are carefully screened by the Student Parliament, both as individuals and as a group, before being passed on to the principal. 45 YEARBOOK The production of the 1962-63 edition of Spectrum has, for most of the staff, been a new and rewarding experience. Our great- est worry was the deadlines which we never thought would be met but always were. Our second concern was to produce a bal- anced yearbook which would adequately represent all the activities which in future years will comprise your memories of L.T.C. We hope that we have accomplished this objective to your satisfaction. A year book, like the book of hours, is a record of time which has passed. We hope that you will be happy with this record of your year. Joan Boswell, Editor-in-chief.

It is our endeavour this year to provide you with just such a memoir, a yearbook which you will be proud to call your own. With Joan Boswell at our helm, we of the yearbook have had an interesting, although hectic, time of put- ting together this year ' s Spectrum. We feel that your efforts this year have made it possible to provide you, our future teachers, with one of the best issues of Spectrum. There have been many who have worked enthusiasti- cally and diligently: those on the layout, the advertis- ing, photography and the literary committees. We, the staff of the Spectrum, hope you will enjoy your yearbook and we wish you all the best of luck in your new profession next year. ADVERTISING COMMITTEE To our photographers, under the direction of Mr. Biehl, we extend our thanks. We invariably needed dozens of pictures on short notice and Mr. Biehl unfailingly used his valuable time to provide them. Without his assistance many of our pages would have been embarrassingly blank. Again our thanks. LAYOUT COMMITTEE Bob Godfree John Gardiner STUDENT GROUPS TEACHERS ' CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP Teachers ' Christian Fellowship was organized to give students in our college an opportunity to meet once a week for worship together. Our meetings were held each Monday there were classes at the college. Bible Studies, guest speakers, and a film have high- lighted our programme during the year. Our sponsor Mr. Elford, showed the groups an interesting film to acquaint us with the Jewish religio n. The executive organized a social event in Novem- ber in the form of a games night in our gym to which we invited the Western Christian Fellowship. An interesting series of studies on Revelations was conducted by our own members to help us in understanding the base of our whole organization — the Bible. We feel that the Teachers ' Christian Fellowship has made firm impact on our lives — a contribution that will help us be better teachers. Teachers ' Christian Fellowship Executive White Cross Executive Scholarship and Bursary Recipients A White Cross chapter was formed at the college early in the year. Its purpose was to give opportunity to students to educate themselves in human emotional problems for the better understanding of pupils and parents with whom they would deal in the coming year. Initially, about sixty students showed interest in the organiza- tion but, unfortunately, due to the demands of school work, the effect of fatigue and the impossible task of selecting meeting times to suit everyone ' s convenience, attendance dwindled to a few. From September to March, students took part in the following events. On the 31st of October a film, The Second Chapter , was shown in the auditorium. Mr. Gamble of the Ontario Hospital After-Care Department commented and students discussed the film with him. Mrs. Ruth Sherman of the Middlesex branch of the Canadian Mental Health Asociation spoke to twenty members on November 19th. She discussed ways in which friendship and vital services may be accorded to the mentally ill by willing persons. Nine members volunteered to help with Christmas arrange- ments at the Ontario Hospital. Thanks was received from Miss Lockerbie for the work of these students at the Ontario Hospital Christmas Gift Fair. Perhaps this was too much, too soon. It is to be hoped that a larger number will be able to participate in future years. Besides provincial bursaries available to grade XIII graduates, various organizations and individuals offer scholarships to students who can qualify. One such organization is the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire which is intensely interested in various educational projects. Among these interests is the provision of bursaries to students of the London Teachers College. During this year they presented bursaries of $150 each to five students: Faye Boyne, Lenora Brown, Donalda Fitt, Teresa O Donnell, and Gloria Reid. Recipient of the Drake Merritt Construction scholarship was Caron Gattinger. We wish to thank the contributing chapters of the I.O.D.E. and other donors for this valuable assistance. 48 LITERARY REPRESENTATIVES One group, common to every form in the school, is the literary society. In the first term the representative from each form was elected by his classmates to represent that form in the society. Each form in the school, with the exception of those in the first year of the two year course presented a literary programme once during the year. The literary programmes were both educational and entertain- ing. After each presentation the society discussed the pros and cons of the programme under the following headings: lighting, costume, singing, dancing and acting. The conclusions which the literary society reached were passed on to the form being dis- cussed by the form ' s literary representative. Thus each form profited from the work of the committee.

HI-FI CREW AUDIO-VISUAL CREW STAGE CREW Contributing greatly to the success of each literary programme and the morning assemblies was a crew of willing workers known as the stage crew. Special lighting, stage settings, sound effects — they would and could provide. Also essential to the smoothly- running routine of morning assemblies was the work of the Hi-Fi crew and the audio-visual group. 50 51 LITERARY PROGRAMMES On October 19, 1962, Form Thirteen initiated the literary society programmes for the year with their take-off on This Is Your Life . The surprise guest was Miss Moth who was whisked out of the audience and on to the stage to be shown her life in retrospect. Many devices were used to show Miss Codling Moth ' s progress from egghood and the threat of man-made insecticides, to a larva and an awakening interest in the opposite sex. Finally adulthood was reached and Miss Moth had sufficiently matured to be married. After a programme liberally spiced with song and dance the only ending which would not have been anti-climatic was the ending of one generation and the suggested beginning of the next through the marriage of Miss Codling Moth. Music Through the Ages was the name given to Form Twelve ' s literary presentation of October 26, 1962. Following a chronological order from the dawn of time with the discovery by man that beating on a hollow log created a pleasantly rhythmic sound, the pro- gramme travelled through to the present and a sing-a-long to the ever-popular When The Saints Go Marching In. Between these two extremes were many examples of various stages in musical de- velopment such as the folk songs of the 13th century as sung by wandering minstrels, the concert music of Debussy, the waltz music so popular in the 19th century, and the more recent jazz which is epitomized in the Basin Street Blues. By the time this programme was over the whole audience was keeping time to the music and the sing-along ending proved most successful. Children of the Sun was the name of the play presented by Form Four for their literary programme on January 18, 1963. With a double stage setting a classroom of about grade 7 level was visited by a professeur who explained the formation of the planets in our solar system. The sun was depicted as a lonely ball of fire in space. Thanks to Lady Space, a passing star, and the law of gravity, eight children were created from Father Sun . These were Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. The professeur returned the class to the present and their class- rooms at the end of the programme. On November 9, 1962, Form One presented their rendition of Peter Pan . The Darling family ' s junior members were visited early in the production by that immortal figure — Pan. After a liberal sprinkling of star dust, Wendy, John, Michael and the audience were whisked off to Never-Never Land with Peter and Tinkerbell as guides. The adventures in this fantasy land included the pirates ' fight against the lost boys, the pirates ' capture of Tiger Lily, the Indians ' battle against the pirates and, of course, Hook ' s losing battle against the crocodile. This story has no real ending and Form One ' s production followed suit. The final scene showed us a second generation on the threshold of another encounter with Peter Pan. 52 The Life and Adventures of Captain John Smith were given body by Form Two in their literary programme of November 16, 1962. Captain Smith is best known for his work with the early American settlers and, indeed, this involved a good percentage of the pro- gramme. Lesser known facts about this English adventurer however ■ — that he fought for the losing side against Turkey; was taken prisoner but escaped — were also brought out in this presentation. The main part of the performance was the meeting in the Indian village of the captive John Smith and the maiden. The subsequent freeing of Smith and the new-found friendship of the settlers with the Indians provided the setting for the final scene where a lively Virginia Reel was danced by the two groups. The starving settlers were given provisions for the winter at this time. A Visit to a Small Planet was the theme chosen by F orm Three for their literary programme of January 11, 1963. The plot was built around the visit of a spaceman to earth and his subsequent tour of Europe with a charming earth girl as guide. Four stops were made on the visit. The first was Venice, complete with music and, of course a gondola; the second was Munich and the singing and dancing peculiar to root beer festivals; the third was Seville in fair week and the bright flashes of colour and dance associated with this time,- the last stop was the cosmopolitan Istanbul and a sample of Turkish poetry. After this whirl-wind tour, it was only right that the earth girl host should be invited back to the space- man ' s planet, and with their departure the literary ended. On February 8, 1963, Form Five presented their version of school days in the time of Egerton Ryerson. A visit was paid to a one- room school in York Township where Ryerson was presenting merit awards to deserving pupils. Here he was met by a most eccentric relic of the War of 1812-14, who was the school-master. Various deserving pupils were called upon to receive their awards and to exhibit their specialties. After being thoroughly convinced that teachers and teaching today have made great progress from this past era, the audience was returned to the present. On February 15, 1963, Form Fifteen presented their programme entitled Lend Me Your Ears . This was a satire on school days in the time of the Romans, complete with a music lesson and school song. The new mathematics (Hindu-Arabic number system) was formally introduced during this programme. Current events were also satirized and the never-ending excuses for not being able to do homework were proven in use over 2000 years ago. The hostility against the tyrannical teacher built up to his final overthrow and a chilling soliloquy by one of the rebels. With a final word on further educational advancements, the programme ended. 53 A Satire on Television was the theme for the Form Six literary programme of March 1, 1963. The programme was divided into three parts with commercials interspersed between the acts. The first part was in the form of a musical presentation after the style of Leonard Bernstein ' s Youth Symphony. The second act was a satirical parliamentary debate at the time of the dissolution of the 25th Canadian Parliament. For the finale, Form Six chose a folk dance characteristic of the Tyrol region of Europe. At the end of the programme the audience was left wishing the C.B.C. would take a few pointers from L.T.C. Form Seven ' s presentation on March 22, 1963 was the Fool ' s Play from Shakespeare ' s Midsummer Night ' s Dream. The main theme of this extract was the production of the Grecian tragedy between Pyramus and Thisbe. The players of the tragedy however, were poor village peasants engaged to perform before the king ' s court. The resulting blunders and interplay made a light and comical drama. Being done on the Shakespeare style, the scenery was not elaborate but well planned. Costumes were also designed to complement the Elizabethan theme. On March 29, 1963, Form Eight presented a condensed version of one of Shakespeare ' s rarely performed plays, King Lear. Before the curtain rose Carole Sloane set the mood by rendering selec- tions from Beethoven ' s Pathetique Sonata. Every member of Form Eight was on the stage for the opening scene. Playing the difficult role of King Lear, Diana Sorrill conveyed to the audience the deep tragedy of Lear ' s character, especially during the scene of the storm on a lonely heath. Working together as an enthusiastic team of actresses, Form Eight met the chal- lenge of a daring venture. Form Nine presented Fantasy Land in a delightful storybook setting. Two immortal fairy tales were enacted on May 1 1, 1963. For the first half of the programme a playlet of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was presented, the girls of the form playing the various roles. The second half of the programme consisted of a pantomime of Tchaikovsky ' s famous Sleep- ing Beauty. The costumes designed and assembled by the costume committee added colour and gaiety, enhancing the beauty of the setting. In choosing the theme, Form Nine took into consideration the fact that their production would be the last Literary of the year. Desiring to end the year on a light-hearted note, they decided to present these two stories which have almost become class ics in t heir own right. 54 POETRY The Lamb New wonder was there, It had come with the lamb. New wonder of life just begun Kinky and damp, leaving blood-warmed walls. Alone and afraid, it crumpled and fell To become one with the wool at its side. Through the long chill night, She will quell its fright This, her wee pungent, pitiful pride. Lambs in a lion ' s den. Moonlight The moonlight shone through the trees, To point out with seeming ease, The dark tracks of woodland creatures, And in the darkened shadow of the firs, Its fingers lighted various scenes, From nature ' s unlimited store, Of fascinating woodland lore. Above the cry for food and drink. Lines of Sorts No segregation problems here — the whites, the yellows, reds and blacks are found at ease in close proximity. Restricted areas and forbidding walls, or curtains are merely figments. No robes or altars separate the various shades of orthodoxy. Here is no clash of colour, form or origin — My garden leaves are integrated. G. H. Dobrindt My garden leaves . . . . The Cafeteria When people gather in a crowd, The noise gets awfully loud. A person finds it hard to think, Above the cry for food and drink.

US. 55 Proudly, PLEA Deny me not a reason to exist By the smug benignancy of your mediocrity. Nor grapple m e with the barbed hook Of pretended patience And cold concern. CROWN Slow-eroding is pain. And raw are the gloveless fingertips Of the heart From holding hurt In its palm too long. If the body is bruised It heals. And the soul may show nothing. If the mind is marauded Where is the metal That can seal the breach? Time fades. The best that we can do Is to rip love From its roots. Quickly! So that it will not leave A dark, red stain On our brow! We present.... TIME Time is poured Through the keyhole of night In dribbling, useless grams; Good grain That could be used Is slept stealthily away. Time is poured Through the vat of day In monstrous, rushing seas! Good grain That could be used Is swept carelessly away REMEMBRANCE My son is gone. They don ' t know where. He was in the plane - - - There were others. Then suddenly there wasn ' t any plane, Or anything. They never found anything I got a telegram. They ' re honouring him Tomorrow! My son and my son ' s son, And your son. They are laying a wreath. 56 Vivienne Duncan PILLAR OF SALT Move! DECEMBER NIGHT White flakes Falling. The steel-cold air Chops through the ebonized night. Swells the White flakes Falling.

LIFE STORY I was born in London, Ontario. I saw quite a bit of Canada when I was in the Reserve Navy. Just before entering Teachers ' College, I was Secretary to the Manager of Catalina Bathing Suits in London. I ' ve had poems published in Canadian Poetry Magazine, The Fiddlehead, Canadian Magazine, Explorer (in the States), and the London Free Press. Encouragement to budding poels: for every accepted poem, you receive ten rejection slips! VIVIENNE DUNCAN 57 TEACHING ON STAGE The house lights dimmed in the great hall. The bright stage lights broke the darkness and fell upon twelve six-year-old pupils and myself. In the darkened auditorium sat three hundred and twenty-five practice teachers who remained poised with pencils in hand and rating sheets on laps. Behind me rose three enormous blackboards which were filled with teaching materials. Around my neck hung a microphone and within my body frame lurked absolute fear and perplexity. My task was to teach these twelve boys and girls, by means of a blackboard story, the new words duck, ducks, went and quack. The teachers ' task was to mark me as though I were teaching this same lesson in their classroom. As those curtains parted, I tried bitterly to smile but all I could ask myself was: How did I ever manage to secure such a misfortune? ' ' How did I get such a task? Well, it all began on a bright Monday morning. Mr. Biehl entered our psych- ology class asking for volunteers to teach a grade one lesson for him, in the presence of a few practice teachers. Several unsuspecting brave souls put up their hands as interested applicants — myself included. The next day we were all summoned to the office of Mr. Biehl where Don Slater, who was later chosen to teach a similar grade seven lesson, drew a slip of paper from a hat. On this slip of paper was the number 516 — my number. I was the chosen candidate for that fateful Saturday morning. That afternoon I went to meet my pupils. They were a grade one class at Princess Elizabeth School. The twelve pupils chosen to be my class were of an advanced level. For the rest of the week, I prepared my lesson with great care. Friday afternoon came, and I was released from classes to go to Princess Elizabeth School and pre- pare my blackboards. To describe my condition at that time is almost impossible. My stomach was in knots, my head was spinning and my fingertips ached because of the lack of fingernails. To top things, I had a bad case of the flu. However, I managed to survive the day. After a sleepless night, I arose to the day of reckoning. At 9:30 in the morning, I entered the doors of Princess Elizabeth School. I was ushered to the cloakroom where THE JOYS OF WINTER If you are teaching in a primary grade, Sooner or later you ' ll come to the aid Of some small child in a fight, With a left boot on the foot that is right. Another young chap sits in despair, Seeing five boots like his pair. He slowly wipes the tears from his eyes When he finds one of these just his size. At last it ' s time for you to go home. You look down to find boots not your own. Billy Brown ' s — they so happen to be, But you can ' t wear his — they ' re only size three. GRACE TAWN 58 I could dispose of my wrappings. Here I was greeted by the smiling faces of six Masters. My stomach sank to the bottomless pit of eternity. My mind was a blank, my complexion was white and my nerves were shot . The lesson was scheduled to begin at 10:00 A.M. This time came and went by. Finally, at 10:30 my pupils were ushered into their places and my microphone was attached around my neck. Miss Bergey took her place on stage. She was to mark me and after my lesson, she was to criticize my lesson on stage in front of the practice teachers. The children, with their names on headbands, curiously shifted in their seats. The six large microphones on the table in front of the children proved to be a form of amusement. Oddly enough, the presence of these sweet children and Miss Bergey ' s pleasant face made me feel somewhat relaxed. Suddenly, the stage lights came on, the auditorium lights dimmed, and the curtains slowly parted. The lesson progressed smoothly and amusingly. The children made good use of the microphones. At the beginning of the lesson, they did not know the results of speaking into one. But when the results were discovered their little mouths came closer and closer to the micro- phones until they figuratively swallowed them. How- ever, the audience enjoyed this bit of amusement. The only problem which faced me in the lesson was that of the discrimination between the words want and went. When the lesson was over, I heaved the heaviest sigh of relief ever sighed. People were wonderful to me — especially the Masters. They helped to calm me down and made me feel as though I had accomplished some- thing. Although I had at one time regretted the oppor- tunity given to me, I now have a deep gratitude to those who made it possible. Every student teacher should have such an experience. You may laugh as I say this but after you have done such a lesson you would agree with me. To the Masters may I say; Now I know how you feel while you are on the stage teaching in front of us. I certainly do not envy you! —JEAN KERSY PETER PAN We had a play. Anne was Wendy. Peter was John. Rick was Michael. Joyce took them to Never-Never land. Al and the pirates had a fight with them. The Indians chased the lost boys. Joan sang, Donna talked. Our teacher, Mr. Walker, helped us. Mary and Joe said what everyone must do. We expressed loquacity, Revelled in the sensuousness of art, Appreciated the plaudits and exaltations Of our cliques ' dissertation. MARY BOND ON NON-CONFORMITY In our society, there has been, and still is, much stress on conformity. To be accepted into the right club, the right school, and in some cases the right church, one must conform to a set of rules or conditions laid down by society. Now, for those who wish to become an accept- ed part of one of these groups, the fact that they may lose some personal idiosyncrasies holds no regrets, so great is their desire to conform; for these are the people who will gladly sacrifice whatever faint personality traits they may have to be received into a society which has its own peculiar characteristics. But what of those who do not wish to obliterate their identity, who do not wish to become a living legume in this vegetable garden society? With such a vast majority clammering for con- formity and devoting their admittedly weak singular but collectively forceful influence on the minority of those non-conformists, how can the non-conformist hope to survive in such an unfavourable clime? Before we attempt to answer these questions, let us first consider whether this minority is worth preserving. To do this we must first examine reasons for non- conformity and the two main schools of non-conformists. The first is, as the colloquialism calls him, the beat- THE LONELY On either side the desert stretched, dry, barren, and achingly empty as far as the eye could see. Straight as an arrow went the road from the horizon on the north to the horizon on the south. The sun, red and gloomy as it sank towar d the west, disclosed no living th ing, in the air or on the ground — save one. A man bearing a full pack trudged along, his gait showing signs of fatigue that comes from many hours of walking with little rest. Each step raised a small puff of dust which circled lazily in the still hot air, before resignedly returning to the earth. Behind were the ruins of a spaceship. There too were the ruins of a dream in the remains of what had been Starport , from which man had gone forth to seek the stars. Now nothing remained save vast piles of rubble, worn down by untold ions. The man patiently travelling along the ancient road was the last survivor of an expedition sent back from the colonies of Vega to seek out Earth and establish communications. Their ship had crashed while landing and there had been none to aid them. Now the man sought for the descend- ants of the godlike men of Earth who had sent forth their sons to all the stars knowing that they could never return. Even his passage through silent empty towns did not destroy his faith that, somewhere, the men of Earth were to be found and that they could aid him by their vast knowledge. He trudged on, confident that he would soon find the outposts of the mighty civilization of Earth about which he had learned from the legends of his home planet. The desert gave way to hills, the hills to mountains and the mountains in turn to hills again. Now he marched with renewed energy for, in the dis- tance, were the towers of a mighty city. As he neared the city his joy turned to silent wonder at its size and this to terrible fear. The city was silent — silent with the awful silence of death. There was no nik . This is the person who strives to differ from the herd but in this vain striving to set himself apart, he loses his identity in a cult of the unwashed, unshaven, and unintelligent who themselves are just a diversion of the society from which they strove to be divorced. Thus he defeats his own purpose for his motive for non- conformity is egotistical, not realistic. On the other hand we find the true non-conformist. This is the person who is not afraid to promote and expound his own ideals and opinions, when he is firmly convinced as to their validity, even if the tide of public opinion flows against him. This person is a boon to our society; such as the one in which we are led to believe we live depends upon such people for its very existence. If a society allows itself to obliterate constructive free thought, it becomes stagnant and ripe for dictatorship; but, with a hard core of true non-conformists, progressive thought resulting in a progressive society must result. Non-conformity for the sake of non-conformity itself is useless, but non-conformity in defence of creative, constructive thought is necessary to a vibrant democratic society. AA. MacVicar ROAD motion, no smoke, no sign of life of any form. Pene- trating deeper into the stifling canyons of the city streets, his dread at the emptiness gave place to a tingling sensation of being watched. No matter how swiftly he whirled he saw nothing but featureless walls. No matter how loudly he shouted, there was no reply, save endless mocking echoes. Wearily he walked on through the lonely streets. Then on the dusty pavement he saw a well-defined trail of foot-prints, hundreds of them, converging on one door of a giant building. Cautiously he entered it. Unaccountably he trembled as he mounted the stairs. His nerves clamoured for a shout for he felt the prickling horror of being in the presence of the unknown. Then at the head of the stairs he was in a vast hall. The ceiling was wholly paned with some transparent substance. Long ranks of plants, strain- ing upwards to the light, grew in tanks rising a few feet from the floor. Among the columns of plants hud- dled small naked creatures. One, two ... a dozen looked vacuously at him. Suddenly, realizing that he was alien to their experience, they fled clumsily, crying out in shrill chirping voices. He stood, realization dawning slowly on his mind though it fought with the terrible image of the truth. One look at the plants had told him beyond any doubt that he would find no food here. Nothing in that virulent green, those twisted shapeless leaves, could be com- patible with his system. He turned and stumbled down the stairs, out of the building along the silent street. He had found the civiliza- tion of Earth. Man had sent his best out to the stars and those who remained lacked something of the divine spark. Evolution had taken its implacable course. Man had passed away from his home and would never more arise there. Before him stretched the lonely road. Ruth Hill As I look over this assembly . . . Morning assemblies proved to be quite heterogeneous. Many contributions centred on other countries: a comparison of school life in Ireland and Greece, a Boer War song in Dutch, slides of a trip to Germany and gracefully performed Hungarian dance steps. Various school committees used the assemblies to present interesting items: an amusing but timely skit which point- ed up student responsibility for keeping the school clean, advertisements for parties, and rehearsal of school cheers. Many individuals contributed musical selections. Several duets and trios were well received. Square dances, Choral speaking and pantomimes were used with effect. The occasional film added variety and in- terest. Skits abounded. Did someone forget us again? An assembly of men . . . smiling men. An assembly of red-blooded youth. We are assembled together An assembly of the thirsty. 60 ATHLETIC COUNCIL Back: A. Beirnes, H. Anderson, D. Terry, C. Wyatt, W. Dykes, J. Fowler, W. Centre: Miss Prendergast, R. Moore, D.

ATHLETIC COUNCIL This year, under the leadership of President Dave Lapthorne, the Athletic Council has sponsored a variety of sports at London Teachers ' College. With only ten percent of the money gathered from student fees, the council has provided for six major school teams as well as numerous interform teams which included the ma- jority of the students in the school. The six major teams sponsored by the Athletic Council were Women ' s and Men ' s Volleyball, Women ' s and Men ' s Hockey, Women ' s and Men ' s Basketball. Perhaps the two climactic events for L.T.C. were the visit here of Hamilton Teachers ' College for a Sport ' s Night and the trip that our school took to Windsor Teachers ' College. The student body must take their hats off to the Ath- letic Council for a job well done. Roper.

Tours of the school and a lunch preceded an eventful evening. An excellent varity show held a captive audience in the auditorium. In the sports department, things went well for London Teachers ' College. Our Men ' s Basketball, Women ' s Volleyball and Men ' s Volleyball teams were all successful; however, the Women ' s Basketball team dropped a close game to Hamilton. Doncing followed, making the evening suc- cessful. Clowning Around — Locomotive WINDSOR TRIP Fantabulous! Although not located in any orthodox dictionary that one word aptly sums up the feelings of London Teachers ' College students about the trip to Windsor Teachers ' College. As the first three buses arrived on the outskirts of Windsor they were ambushed by a howling welcoming committee. The lead bus was stopped, tied by a strand of ribbon to a tiny imported car and led to their college. After being guided through the school by proud mem- bers of the student body, we sat back and observed Windsor defeat our teams in Women ' s Volleyball and Men ' s Basketball. London retaliated by winning the Women ' s Basketball and Men ' s Volleyball. WINDSOR ' S RETURN March 8, 1963 had a double meaning for many Windsor Teachers ' College students as not only was it a Sports Night at London Teachers ' College but also it was a Homecoming for many students. The gymnasium rang with cheers as the capacity crowd of enthusiastic students rooted for their home team. London Teachers ' College won the Men ' s Volleyball, Women ' s Volley- ball and Men ' s Basketball games. Windsor won the Women ' s Basketball by one point. The Literary Society staged a variety show in the auditorium which was followed by a successful dance in the gymnasium. The dance completed an enjoyable and fun-filled evening. Come to me! 63 B Group Champions — Form 16 Y I P E E I ! The London Teachers ' College Volleyball team enjoy- ed a very successful season this year. The team won their games here against Hamilton and their games with Windsor. This year ' s squad also met London ' s top teams which included, among others: Wolseley Barracks, London Volleyball Club and the University of Western Ontario staff. Having finished high up in the league, the team looked forward to the playoffs and a chance at the championship. Such strong competition brought about a team in- novation this year — the five-man screen. Set up in front of the server, this screen worked well throughout the year and played an important part in the successful 1962-63 inter-college volleyball season.

The School Team We ' ve got a team GIRLS ' BASKETBALL The season started with defeat at the hands of the women from Western who went on later to the intercollegiate cham- pionship. Next our team played Waterloo Lutheran University and won by some twenty points. To the dismay of South Col- legiate, we managed to let them score only fifteen points against us. Western ' s team returned a visit and this time they won by only eighteen points. Our big chance came when we played Hamilton Teachers ' College, which has won for the last four years. However, once again Hamilton was victorious. Our team was victorious in games with Woodstock YWCA and Central Collegiate, winning the first with a score of 57 to 34 and the latter 31 to 20. London Teachers ' College sojourned to Windsor Teachers ' College where the girls from the border city suffered a sixteen point loss. This game was one of the best of the season. On Windsor ' s return to London, the tide turned and we lost to the rival team in a close and exciting finish. Guess who is the losing coach. Will it? 66 Back: H. Ridley, A. Beirnes, J. Myers, L.

Although the team did not take part in a regular league, it played many ex- hibition games against local high schools and university inter- faculty teams. Mr. Crawford, coaching this year for the first time, engineered the team to an eleven wins, four losses record. This included exciting wins over the top four teams in the London Conference. The last minute win over the undefeated champions, Clarke Road High School was a highlight of the season. Our squad defeated Hamilton Teachers ' College in our gym. In a close game with a strong Windsor Teachers ' Col- lege team in their gym our team was defeated. In the re- turn match played in our gym the results were reversed. All wins were the result of a good team effort. Wait till you see them in uniform. Well, I never thought that one would go in! We can hardly wait! 67 HOCKEY MEN ' S HOCKEY TEAM This year ' s hockey team might be referred to as small but mighty . With a limited number of players we have proven the theory of quality over quan- tity. The team played its second year in the U. W. O. ' s inter-faculty league. We not only entered the play-offs but won the championship. This year has been very exciting with an excellent exhibition of sportsmanship and hockey.

Enthusiasm was high as evidenced by the large number of girls who turned out for practices at the university. Since the team was organized late in the season, only one regular game was scheduled. This game was against South Collegiate girls and ended in a 1-1 tie. A fun-packed exhibition game between the girls ' and men s teams ended in a victory for the girls: the score was 2-1. For this game the rules were changed to some extent; the men wielded brooms instead of sticks and body-checking was done by the girls only. V It ' s a bird! Look who the referee is! High sticking! 69 THE ISLAND SCIENCE SCHOOL a Our purpose today Outward Bound. This instrument indicates . . . The Island Science School One of the most interesting experiences for eighteen of us at London Teachers ' College was the trip to the Island Science School. The first group of six left London on February 28th at three o ' clock in the morning. At seven o ' clock in Toronto, after a hearty breakfast, we went to the pier in search of the ferry which would carry us to the island. After walking a mile in bitterly cold weather we arrived ... at the wrong pier. Fortunately a kind-hearted taxi-driver took pity on us and es- corted us to the correct spot. Our ferry was a tiny tug boat! After following a thin path broken through the ice, we reached the island. A bus took us to the warmth and comfort of the school. We were given a guided tour and instructions as to our duties for the week. During the first half hour we helped teach our charges the process of making a bed. This was utter bedlam because some had never made a bed before. Lunch time was a tremendous and unforgettable experience. By the end of the meal we knew our children quite well. Discipline was no problem here because the children, eager to learn, spent their time listening to, and watching every move of the instructor. All of us took turns forecasting the weather, taking the facts taught to us by the instructors and applying them. There was great rivalry amongst the groups to see who would get the correct pre- diction. More often than not the children did better than the teacher. Another interesting lesson we had was labelled Survival . We were taught to make a fire in the woods using one match. We each had a turn at making a fire and we not only learned something but we had a great deal of fun doing it. There were two times when we student teachers had our children to ourselves. The first, the hike to the farm, was most interesting and informative. Many of the children had never seen farm animals before and were quite excited. The man in charge of the farm discussed each animal separately . . . hens, sheep, cows, pigs, horses . . . and then we were lucky to engage him in a conversation about snakes, which he collected. His discussion fascinated the children and I am sure that many of them came away less frightened of snakes and more aware of their value. This should start a fire. 70 Smoke gets in your eyes. The Students had a most enjoyable week. Each night there was a program in which they took part. They saw films, had sing songs, danced and one night, wrote letters home. After the programme the students had showers, a new and exciting experience. By eight-thirty they were in bed. Their own teachers were then in charge of them until eight o ' clock the next morning. We all hated to see the week end. Much knowledge was gained during the week. The second time I had the children to myself was on a five mile walk which took approximately two and a half hours. We discussed the importance of the Toronto Harbour, formation of soil, saw the airport and terminated the hike with a tour of the lighthouse, in which an old man had disappear- ed. At first the children were rather frightened of the place and made me lead the way. The door was opened with an enormous key which interested the children. They wrote poems about the hike. Here is one, written about the lighthouse, by a twelve-year-old boy. As I was walking by and by, I saw the lighthouse in the sky; The top was red and round; I was so dizzy going round and round. The key is big to open the door, My feet sure feel sore,- There was some blood on the floor, I was glad there wasn ' t more. We got to the top, I was glad to stop; I walked round and round Looking at the town. I started down and round For I wanted to stand on the ground; I looked round and round Glad to be on the ground.

The officers, elected within the committee, include the president, Sharon Irwin; Ralph Allen, vice-president, Joyce Austin, secretary, and Bob Simpson, treasurer. All other members are arranged in sub- committees of their choice. These include programme, decorations, publicity, in- vitations, refreshments and building committees. Five informal parties at which only students were present, two more formal affairs to which guests were invited, and Parents ' Night were the result of the successful functioning of these individuals as a highly organized unit.

GET ACQUAINTED PARTY However stormy the weather it cannot dampen the spirits of L. T. C. students! Those who braved the elements found their efforts fully rewarded by the warm cheer found in L.T.C. gymnasium on Thursday evening, September 13. I ' m sure we will all remember the sing song staged by the social committee preceding the dance. A welcome feature of the casual party was square-dancing with the expert calling of our own Miss Prendergast and Mr. Hyde. Cool apple cider was enjoyed by all participating.

A Hallowe ' en party was held at the College on Thursday, October 25th. The theme of the party was a masquerade. Both staff and students arrived dressed in costumes. These costumes ranqed from a doctor outfit to a talking horse. Prizes were awarded for the funniest costume, the best costume and the most original group costume. Refreshments of doughnuts and apple cider were served in the cafeteria. Candidates for best dress prize.  75 OPEN HOUSE THAT was a joke? and in 1 867 The annual Parents ' Night at London Teachers ' College was accompanied by traditional blustery weather. In spite of the snow and ice, a large number of parents, friends, and students filed into the auditorium for a warm introduction to the Christmas season. Our Prime Minister, Larry Regan, outlined the evening ' s proceedings after welcoming the visitors. The College Glee Club, under the direction of Mr. MacDowell, sang a number of Christmas Carols to an attentive and appreciative audience. Follow- ing this, Karen Dobrindt delighted everyone with a medley of Christmas favourites on her marimba. As the choir entered the back doors of the auditorium and processed slowly down the aisle, everyone |Oined in singing a number of familiar carols. After the choir had presented the second portion of their programme, the guests toured the building to meet the masters or resorted to the cafeteria for refreshments served by the Social Committee. Pictures That Tell Stories. It is a cocobonk. Well, hello there, come in! The two-way stretch. 76 PREMIERE PROM Have red pencil, will travel. A favourite. Five Finger Exercise. Oh, oh, look and see. Our Premiere Prom, A Night in New Orleans , was held in a AAardi Gras atmosphere on Friday, November 16. Music in the gymnasium was supplied by the AAelomacs. Refreshments were available for those who wished them in the cafeteria. It was a very suc- cessful evening and a good time was enjoyed by all. What is she looking at? Come between us. 77 Eat, CIRCLE AND SQUARE Thursday, January 17 saw the most successful in school party to date. Perry Stewart with his fine calling directed the dancing in grand fashion and it was general- ly agreed that the Social Committee had rung the bell this time. Staff and student body alike turned out in hordes as fun and frolic were the order of the night. The variety of round and square dancing was vast, and the mixture good. Consequently the event moved at a progressive pace to the delight of all. and be merry. and fall back six. 78 VALENTINE ' S PARTY On February 14th, the gymnasium of London Teachers ' College was the center of a successful Valentine ' s Party. As you entered the building you were asked to guess the number of hearts in our Valentine jar. The gymnasium was decorated with red and white streamers while the master of ceremonies, Danny MacDonald from CKSL radio, was in charge of the programme for the evening. During the programme, prizes which consisted of popular records were given for spotlight dances. Jack Cooper had the winning guess and was given the jar of candy hearts. Although the weather was miserable the party was enjoyed by all who attended. Promenade all! Ladies ' choice. FINAL FLING The Final Fling, on May 2nd will give one of the finishing touches to this year ' s social events. As the grand finale there is the Graduation Ball which will take place on May 10th. This dance, A Night On The Nile , is formal and the music will be by Ron Brown. Sorry I ' m late with this. THANKS TO THE PEOPLE BELOW FOR ALL THEIR Balfour Co. of Can.
