taste ii PREFACE MESSAGES FACULTY OPERATIVE STAFF YEARBOOK STAFF DEDICATION STUDENT BODY ORGANIZATIONS SPORTS ARTS % LETTERS SOCIAL EVENTS PROGRAMS ADVERTISING I am very pleased to extend my warm greetings to the students and staff of London Teachers 1 College and to all readers of The Spectrum. In coming to London Teachers 1 College, you have answered the call to play a positive role in the education of our young citizens - a role second to none in the building of our nation. In your earlier years, you have acquired knowledge; you have learned the essentials of good citizenship. During your stay at the London Teachers 1 College, you are being taught how to impart this knowledge to others; how, by good example, good citizenship is inculcated. When it will be your turn to put into practice the training that you have received, I ask you to remember that you will be better teachers if you keep on acquiring further know- ledge. Your teaching certificate is but the beginning. You have my best wishes, and I am confident that you will not fail in your task. 19 6 6. L. B. Pearson. 4 PRINCIPAL OF J TEACHERS ' ••COLLEGE Message To The Graduating Class Of 1966 This is the year when you leave our college to begin your career in ed- ucation; it is also the year when two of our oldest and most honoured staff mem- bers leave to end this part of their pro- fessional career. Those of us who remain, hope that both you and they will remember to come back to see us, for we shall greatly miss you and Mr. L.B. Hyde and Mr. F.W. Walker. In my usual Yearbook message I try to cap your load of instruction, which is surely heavy enough already, with one last piece of advice. This time, how could I give you a better start on your road than to suggest that you follow in the footsteps of these two men who have travelled every inch of it? Different as they are in many ways, Mr. Hyde and Mr. Walker share three qualities, each of which is a necessary one for you if you too wish to become a great teacher. Both men have always believed in the worthiness of their calling; they have been proud of their work. In the years I have known them I have never seen nor heard either of them apologetic of the role of the teacher in our society, whatever the business or professional group among whom they appeared. Since the road of teaching has its dusty patches, indeed its rough and stony ones, this faith in the value of the job they were doing has often helped them through again to the pleasant and rewarding vistas. Each has always known that what he did each day counted for something. Nevertheless, neither man has ever let his enthusiasm for his task make him take himself too seriously. Both have a saving grace of humor. Through the years the laughter that surged through their classrooms has often penetrated even to this office of mine. You who shared their courses have savoured their wit as much as I who am their colleague. And there was always a third thing these men had in common: their way of reaching you as individual human beings. Neither of them was ever content to teach a collective noun called a form. Both were always concerned with John and Mary — and with you too; they taught separate persons. In neither case did their contact with you end at the classroom door with the period bell. All of you know that much of the good they did came to you after classroom hours — strolling the corridors, holed up in some corner of a practice school, over the telephone — and across the years. Many of our graduates well along in their own careers still share their problems and their triumphs with Mr. Walker and Mr. Hyde. Here, then, you have two living examples of how to teach: have a missionary zeal for your job, but don ' t let it blot out your sense of humor, and value each of those you teach as a human being who is worth knowing as a person. Do these three things throughout the years, and some day you too will not be unworthy of the Master Teacher ' s Well done, thou good and faithful servant. - F.C. Biehl - 5 VICE-PRINCIPAL OF TEACHERS ' COLLEGE To the Graduates of 1965-66. The time comes to each of us, whether he be musically inclined or not, to sing his swan song. This being my forty- fifth year in the teaching profession it might naturally be expected that I should have formed some definite opinions regarding both teaching and teachers. May I state most sincerely that teaching can be and should be a most satisfying experience. It is satisfying to realize at the end of the trail that some pupil, student or teacher may, at some time along the way, have been pleased to have had your guidance, advice or even your sympathy and may have benefitted therefrom. It is also satisfying to feel that you may have been present at some critical moment when a student was in need of the encouragement which may have made the difference between his abandoning the profession or going on to success. Imparting academic knowledge and the development of the proper attitudes toward the various subjects and even to work itself are among the duties of any teacher. However, other aspects of your teaching will be remembered long after much of the academic knowledge you tried to impart has been forgotten or has become obsolete. It is important that the pupils should have learned to accept the challenges of the classroom and to have learned how to solve problems with which they were confronted. Each individual teacher in whose care a child has been placed has a very important influence in the development of the child ' s philosophy of life and his attitudes towards his fellow pupils, which will be tranferred in later life to the society in which he must live. May I urge you not to forget this human side of the learning experience. Mark Twain summed up these ideas very effectively when he stated, I never let my schooling interfere with my education. A teacher must like people, especially children. A teacher must have an abundant supply of patience and understanding. A teacher must believe that religion is a way of life and must be willing to exemplify his religion in his daily contacts with pupils and his fellow teachers. I have enjoyed all the phases of teaching; teacher, principal, and inspector in the public schools; master, vice- principal and acting- principal in the Teachers ' College. It is with many fond memories that I now leave the College and the profession. But I must also say that I leave with regret. I believe that any teacher who can leave the profession without some regrets, should never have been a member of it. May I wish each of you the best of luck in the years ahead, but also remind you that there is no such word as luck without ' U ' ; and that . . . If you think you ' ll lose, you ' ve lost, For out in this world you ' ll find, Success begins with a fellow ' s will It ' s all in your state of mind. 6 At the conclusion of a lesson, you have been advised to ask yourself, If I were to teach the lesson over again, what would I do differently? Such reflection, if constructive, is likely to cause the in- dividual; first, to recognize his strengths and weaknesses; second, to make the most of his strengths; and third, to attempt to correct or compensate for his weaknesses. At the close of this year of professional training which may have seemed the busiest, swiftest year in your life, I recommend the same personal appraisal, If I were to live this year over again, what would I do differently? Such stock-taking would be well advised at the end of each year of your teaching career. Have I made the most of my strengths? Have I taken steps to correct my weaknesses? Have I striven stead- fastly for the goals worthy of my profession? Have I kept the child ' s needs first and my personal interests second? Have I been deserving of the respect of my fellow teachers? Have I been true to the trust placed upon me by parents, by my students, and by my superiors? Honest answers to such questions should help you to clarify your vision and to strengthen your determination as you continue your education as a teacher, the first phase of which you will have completed on the receipt of your certificate. With my best wishes for your success and happiness, may I close with the very common, but significant quotation, Actions speak louder than words . Your worth as a teacher of children will be determined by what you are, far more than by what you say. The Master Teacher demonstrated this truth throughout His life, and expressed the same sentiment when he said, By their fruits, ye shall know them . 7 MINISTER OF EDUCATION In company with people of all races and all creeds all over the world, the people of Onta rio are showing, as perhaps never before, a keen interest in education and the product of our school system. In a large measure, the fulfilment of the hopes of our citizens depends upon you who will teach in the schools and prepare our children for their life in our modern technological world. What you teach will be important, but how you teach it, your professional competence, and your own character as a person will have equal importance. As one man phrased it, Education without attention to the building of character will do nothing more than produce a race of clever robots . Your responsibilities, as you take up your duties in our schools next September will be both exacting and difficult. You will not, however, be alone. You will have many allies, your colleagues, your board of trustees, the parents of your children and, when you have gained their confidence, your children themselves. You will have at your call the advice and assistance of your supervisors and the resources of the Department of Education. Do not hesitate to seek assistance when you need it. After a year at Teachers ' College, your professional training is behind you, your professional growth is still ahead. You carry with you the confidence of the Department of Education and the good will of the people of our Province as you begin your career. May your teaching days be happy and rewarding! William G. Davis Minister of Education. Toronto, November 18, 1965. As we entered Teachers ' College this past fall, how many of us gave any thought to the part we will play in our country ' s future? Now that we are ready to face our own classes, we must realize it is a great roll, and in order that our country may continue to prosper, we must play it from our hearts. For as a tree depends upon its roots for nourishment, so does our nation depend on its youth for future leader- ship. As future teachers, we have both the responsibility and power to help insure such leadership, and thus a brighter future. The responsibility is that of passing knowledge onto our younger generations in order that they will be able to function with purpose in this modern world. This is a very important part of teaching. But, it is not necessarily the most important. The power or gift which has been placed in our hands is like that of a potter, who can at his own discretion mould his clay into any form he wishes to express himself. We have a similar gift, but instead of clay, we are entrusted with the much alive human mind. Should we, as the potter, mould this mind into a form we personally find desirable? No, we must not! Instead, we should through wise counselling and encouragement, help each child mould his own mind and character, and in so doing mould a brighter future for Canada and the World.

Danyluk Webster ' s defines the noun ' ideal ' as: - a mental picture of perfection as a model toward which to strive - a supreme standard - a person thought of as perfect enough to be imitated The 1966 Graduating Class of London Teachers ' College has dedicated their yearbook, Spectrum, to an ideal. The supreme standard- -humanitarianism-- and its strongest son, perfect enough to be imitated- -Dr. Albert Schwitzer. It is fitting that we as teachers whose life ' s vocation will revolve around children should pay tribute to a man who, unselfishly throughout his lifetime, gave all that he had to his fellow beings. Posterity will remember the quiet jungle doctor for his ideal of brotherly love and service. However, an ideal should not be left in a dark jungle of Africa. An ideal can play a dynamic role in the classroom. Whether it be so all inclusive as that of Schwitzer ' s or just a simple daily unselfish act, its effect upon the pupils is immeasurable. Paraphrasing, a quote from a renowned educator, ' A teacher ' s influence upon the course of human events cannot be calculated for one never knows when his influence will re- appear. ' Let this ideal be well chosen. Something that can be practised as a living example and worthy enough that our pupils may imitate. No matter how difficult a day has been; no matter how many feelings have been crushed; a day may be counted as a success if our ideal has shone through above the clouds. In all the coming Septembers as we enter our classrooms, let us all reflect upon the humble man to whom this book has been dedicated--Dr. Albert Schwitzer and to HIS ideal. Peter A.

Voice of the theologue turned to comfort or direction; Hands of the organist disciplined by setting bones, dispensing potions; Pen of the author, restricted by scribbling case histories or prescriptions; Mind of the philosopher unrestrained by weight of circumstance or frugal Lambarene- A complex being, yet man of simple ways. A life of more than ninety years impelled by firm convictions and a ready drive - reverence for life, all life; work an obligation, not a grim necessity; man ' s resources lie within himself, unparalyzed by magnitude of task, but rather by puniness of purpose; men do not choose to confer their benefits upon brothers in need, it is their duty, benevolence is, in truth, atonement; service supersedes self and the plaudits of recognition, good is done but for one reason, the doing; man must find and nurture mercy in himself- merely to live is not life, but to serve is divine.

What of this Selfless Servant Ought be he allowed to speak To the hearts of lordly Pedagogues such as we? What of this Humble Human Can he give any instruction In the attitudes of virtuous Professionals such as we? What of this White-Haired Genius Is there any honest need For this old man ' s philosophy in wise Youths such as we? Ponder this problem, perhaps on your knees; Consider with care the facts, if you please: He gave up his health, his success and his ease, To work for his fellows and die- -under Lamberene trees. John F, Patterson AN ANONYMOUS REFLECTION To each his own In thought and deed ; For only he Can know his need; To find his self Ah ! Perhaps he never shall. So he walks on in confusion, Not seeing the joys about him. He cannot grasp the hope, the love, And does not understand The peace Embodied in the dove. But he may suddenly see That unifying light Shedding over all Changing weakness to might. Anonymous Conformity He was a tall man, A handsome man, A staunch man; He might have been a courageous man; But he was defeated. Not by Youth--his downfall; Nor by war, Nor by brutal force, - Conformity ! Possessed of a great intellect, It rotted within his head To be like the next man ! And there, like all unused articles, Moulded and became entwined in cobwebs, Stored in a human attic of cells and tissues, To be forgotten. He desired not to love his neighbour, But to be equal to his neighbour. His children learned likewise In this environment He found no need for originality; No need for adventure; Both died. He worked hard, And then worked harder still. Not because he liked it, (For he loathed it, ) But because he must To be someone; And to be someone was To be like everybody else, He was. He had all the luxuries he could demand; He had achieved a goal he had wanted to attain. He had money; Property; And he was like his friends; His foes; His neighbour; His enemy; They were all the same. Anne Freeborn Youth Though little do I know of this great life, I love it well; Though scant my information gleaned as yet, I treasure it, Each tiny bit; And long to obtain more each day I live So that in turn, a little I may give To others who are seeking just as I. The beauty all about me that I see, It moves my soul; As summer dies, and autumn turns to snow, Its icy ring, Replaced by Spring Bring gladdened awe within me at this lore; For every fragment seen I beg for more So I may know the spheres where beauty dwells. And as each year in dream drifts slowly by, I feel a surge Of restless youth that stirs within me deep, I feel it grow; Enticement flows About me to enslave me in its lure Of zest and vigour; risk and change unsure; And as youth beckons, I must follow her. I join in the free thoughtlessness of youth, But know youth not; I dwell within her fleeting hours of life And think them long, ' Till youth is gone; ' Tis then I ' ll know the richness held therein; ' Tis then I ' ll realize the earthly sin Of not appreciating what I had. As each day penetrates itself through life, The more I know, The greater things I have not learned will seem, And they will laugh in jest Upon my knowledge, making it still less; And if I live on dreams of days gone by, Then though I go on living, I shall die: But if I live to learn, I shall be wise. Anne Freeborn LOVE ' S ELEGY The Great Love of the world is dead, is dead. The morning mist it ' s dewy drops can ' t hold And saturates the pillow of Love ' s bed With tears of warmth which soon grow cold, grow cold. It ' s heart once strong did beat with fret and pain. As clots of reason and of duty scorned Each thump did strike and beat the lumps in vain, Each stroke did curse the day when Love was born. A heart which had with mirth and joy been filled Is now with hate and malice typified, A heart which was with pure beauty thrilled, Was full of ugly visions when it died. For this the blazing heart of Love has bled And though the hate and malice linger yet, I find that often to Love ' s grave I ' m led And there to place a wreath of true regret. The Great Love of the world is dead, is dead. But fades not beauty of an earlier day, And at Love ' s grave this epitaph I read, But this shall never, ever pass away. Bob Griffiths The School The little school where I once went, Though to me just a memory, Holds thoughts of gold, of laugh, and love, A wealth I know, yet cannot see. About the seats and old bookshelves, My lost, and much missed childhood lies; The old school yard and picket fence Are where my old and sweet dreams fly. From the old walls rang my laughter, The things a certain teacher taught; Her ways, and smiles that made me love her, Things like this, they can ' t be bought. Again my ears detect the school bell, Again my eyes approach the door; I run and chatter with my classmates In the school that ' s mine no more. Anne Freeborn A Cowboy And His Horse Albert was a devil indeed, He rode his horse when the moon was high, However, he grew exceedingly mad, When his horse kept humming a lullaby. On and on he rode in the dark, Louder his horse hummed the song, Till both were drowsy, and both were tired, Said Albert, Somethin ' is wrong. He lectured the horse, but all was in vain, He pleaded as best he could; The horse, however, continued his tune, And was never understood. The farther they went, the louder it came The song of the horse it rang, ' Till Cowboy Albert, his sanity gone, Shot the horse with a bang. Good riddance he said, and whisked off his hands And began to walk away, Humming the tune as the horse had done, In exactly the very same way. Anne Freeborn VESTURE Deftly you weave a thread of gold Into my rough robe- Effortlessly make it royal. The sign of love: W.V Still a robe but with a dignity of my own. AUTUMN DEPTHS Fall winds blow with a promise of more strength, Fine weeds heed the sign and bend their full length To the scarlet-hued ground; The gold and bronze fortune to sheathe and blend. Summer ' s variant filagree transforms to a subtle rust And adds to the treasury of Autumn ' s lust Emerald stretching fields are touched with rust gold lines And mark Autumn ' s coming for all times. Summer ' s beauty went uncomprehended Till fall ' s tint of richness accented its worth. Life ' s summer of years pass in like mannered trend; In time wafted and pressed by fair Autumn ' s mirth Drawing and glazing red golden rays from the soul Who veers toward the Author of Autumn for all. More Than We Bargained For Our very first orientation lesson was over. After ushering the last lingering tot from the grade two classroom, we pulled chairs together. The moment had come. We gathered somewhat timidly to hear the evaluation of our lessons. ... I could hardly hear you. Your concrete materials were very good though. Don ' t be afraid to ... Suddenly the door opened. A figure swaggered in. Which of you is the teacher? he lowered. I am. Well, I want that toy you took from my boy. All right, but I think you are making a mistake, she said, as she went toward her desk. Do you know why I took it from him? I don ' t know and I don ' t care, he countered, the furrows in his brow deepen- ing. I just know you are bigger and it is not fair for you to take something from my boy that BELONGS TO HIM! I made a deal with Johnny. He could play with his toy only when he had finished his work. He was playing with it and he had not finished. I promised to give it back to him at four o ' clock if he was finished then. He was not. A deal- -pshaw, an adult making a deal with a child. What chance did he have? That was no deal at all ! But don ' t you think I was fair? Ah, of course, he hissed sarcastically, teachers are always right. It was the same when I was a boy. The conversation continued. The teacher tried to bring some understanding between the parent and herself. It was no use. At last she suggested the man visit the principal. Clinging tenaciously to his toy, he went. That is the last we saw of him. In the classroom, the practise teacher, who had shown such remarkable control under the tirade, finally broke down. We wanted to be of some help, to somehow convey to her we were with her, that we admired the way she handled the situation, that we understood. She left the room briefly. After several minutes, the teacher resumed her evaluation of our work. It was all over. But that day our eyes had been opened to more than just the routine of the class- room. For there IS much more to teaching. In many ways our maturity will be challenged again and again. We left our first class- room with new insight. We had learned more than we bargained for. Colleen Wolfe Sonnet for Ellen Into the chasm of the night I fall, My mind engulfed by Tethe ' s drowsy stream; I float enveloped in a sable pall, And dream a secret and a lonely dream Of things I would have done by day, and words, Soft-winged words, that I longed to say. My lips were but frail messengers; like birds, Caught in a snare they strove, pain to allay. But now my tongue its hidden wish obeys And silver song conveys the praise of her Whose lovely image haunts my nights and days, And causes all my sluggish thoughts to stir. Though this is but a dream and dawn must break, May this my song continue while I wake. Stephen Thomas The Lonely Road The very crispness of the air teases the senses. It quickens the eye and sharpens the ear; it entices me to walk that road which lies just off the main highway. Dip, bend, twist then curve, that ' s the way of the road. Last night ' s rainstorm managed to fill the many holes and ruts which now tempt my feet to shatter their glass- like tops. This lane is partially concealed by large trees that spread their branches over its entrance, as if to guard its existence. Trees aren ' t being given time to gracefully slip from one colour to another this year. Fall has come like the bill collector, suddenly and relentlessly. The leaves are fringed with reds and yellows; some have already deserted their boughs to rap the road in a warm, winter covering. I see a fine silk pillow slip; there are two frisky colts; this one must be the dignified Priest who is new at the Village Chapel; every cloud becomes a fascinating object as it passes over the leaf- lined strip of sky which tops this road. Lonely? Not at all, a walk into this road ' s silent life showed it to be in complete content- ment, lacking nothing. Janet Mansell 96 GROUP INTERESTS 71 98 AUDIO - VISUAL DRAMA CLUB, BACK ROW: B.

Walker might well attribute his courageous outlook and forth- right manner to certain circumstancesj of birth and fortune. Descended from cour- ageous Loyalist stock, raised on the clay loam of North Grimsby Township on the top side of the Niagara Escarpment, and bearing, as he does, the name and nature of being frank , it is not sur- prising to learn that his first school after graduating from Ham- ilton Normal v as located north of Sault Ste. Marie on the Algoma Central railway. He later migrated to Went- worth County and taught in rural and graded schools in the Hamilton district. While principal of Van Wagner ' s Beach School he espoused the cause of the new ' Enterprise Method of teaching and came to be known as a leader in this field. Mr. Walker assisted with demonstration and practice teaching work with many student teachers. Mr. Walker practised personally the advice which, he often gave, that a teacher should be capable of continuous growth in the profession. He obtained Specialist standing in both Art and Industrial Arts, a B. A. degree from Western, and a B.Ed, from Toronto. He gave twenty-one summers to instructing teachers, several at Ste. Anne de Bellevue, Que. In 1947 Mr. Walker entered teacher training as Instructor in Industrial Arts at Stratford and London Normal Schools, later transferring to London full time. More recently he has worked in ' the subject fields of School Management and Mathematics. His family consists of his wife, Mary, a daughter Phyllis and a son ' Stanley.

A newspaper is extremely vital to a youngster ' s education. It ' s a daily record of tomorrow ' s history. But it ' s more than that. A newspaper ' s pages contain lessons in almost every course of study, from art to grammar, from mathematics to psychology. Here is a textbook that deals with real events, real crises . . . problems of today! A newspaper certainly cannot replace all other textbooks, but it can be a perfect supplement. When the past is related to current happenings, it ' s much easier to learn. The events become more mean- ingful and more interesting. A problem on taxes or tariffs need not be dull or difficult if news articles in today ' s newspaper supply the facts and figures.

OUR BEST WISHES FOR EVERY SUCCESS TO THE 1966 GRADUATING CLASS OF LONDON TEACHERS ' COLLEGE Speaking of results, here s an interesting result of a Standard Life policy that matured this year. In 1938 a policyholder took out an endowment assurance policy for a basic sum assured of $12,000 payable in January 1965 or at previous death. The annual premium was $501.84. In January, when the policy matured, the policyholder received a cheque for $21,796 in payment of the basic sum assured plus bonus additions of $9,796 so that he enjoyed a profit of $8,246.32 as well as life assurance protection throughout the 27 years. Why not have one of our qualified salaried Rep- resentatives show you how you can obtain the best results in your life assurance programme.
