We come Graduates As Minister of Education, I am pleased to welcome the graduates of London Teachers ' College to the teaching profession in Ontario. In but a few months you will meet your own class and you will begin to exercise the teaching skills you have attained and use the academic knowledge you have acquired. The world which your students will face in their own future and for which you will help to prepare them will demand the very best that our youth can offer. It should go without saying that the same world will demand the best that our teaching staff can offer. It is my hope that you will never cease to grow intellectually and professionally as you serve in our schools and that you will take advantage of the many courses offered for practising teachers to upgrade your professional status. You carry with you as you begin your teaching the very best wishes of the staff of your College and the Department of Education. I hope your days as a teacher will be satisfying and rewarding and that you will be both dedicated to your task and enthusiastic about your career. Good fortune go along with you! 5

This year of 1968 marks your graduation and mine from London Teachers ' College. You are a lot brighter than I. You did it in one year, and it took me twenty. These twenty years have been happy ones indeed for me. Throughout them there have been many changes of staff, but my colleagues here have been distinguished as loyal colleagues, hard workers, eager innovators of change, and above all patient and enthusiastic guides of young people into their own chosen field of teaching. Our present building, in whose design I had some small share, is one of the most comfortable and elegant centres for teaching in this province, and certainly our maintenance staff have kept it one of the best-kept of all homes for education. The ladies in the office have kept me at the dozens of things I should otherwise have forgotten, and have suffered with a smile my quirks, whims, and shifts of direction. But above all I shall miss the gay and lively and eager and attractive streams of young people with whom I have worked these twenty years -- in my opinion, admittedly a prejudiced one, the finest group of youngsters any man could wish to have in his school. So it is a real pang to say goodby to a job that for me has surely been as pleasant as it has been rewarding. Nevertheless as I have got older, the school has got bigger and problems about its future more demanding. Mow the time has come when for the sake of London Teachers ' College I think I should give over the helm to a younger and more vigorous pilot. At present I hope to take a year to recharge my batteries through books and far-away places, and then to return to my first love -- teaching English to people like you. So you are beginning to teach and I am hoping to return to teaching. What are the things that both of us should bear in mind? Foremost, that a teacher should know his stuff; but that stuff for a teacher is both the subject he teaches and the people whom he teaches. Really he cannot teach anything, but only help others to learn for themselves, in the way that fits each of them personally to learn. We must remember that gadgetry and methods are important things, but anything that is exciting because it is new becomes stale as it becomes familiar. One thing in teaching, however, never grows stale. And that is the enthusiasm a teacher has for what he teaches, and for the people whom he wants desperately to discover a way of learning for themselves. F.C. Biehl Principal
