London Normal School - Spectrum Yearbook (London, Ontario Canada)

Text from Pages 1 - 184 of the 1970 volume:

bonbon Ceacfjerg ' College mm PRIME MINISTER PREMIER MINISTRE I am pleased to send my greetings and best wishes to the readers of Spectrum 1970. As we enter this new decade perhaps no country has a wider range of possibilities before it, a larger number of choices open to it, and a smaller number of restrictions imposed on it. In part because of accidents of history and geography, we enjoy good relations with almost all members of the inter- national community. We are not saddled with natural disasters at home or costly wars abroad. In comparison with the peoples of many other parts of the world, we are healthy and well nourished. We certainly do not suffer from over- population or a shortage of living space. By world standards our people are highly trained and educated, and we have access to great natural wealth. We take for granted our traditional freedoms of expression and movement, which many less fortunate peoples have never enjoyed. Although we know that there are inequalities of opportunity and wealth within our society which we must remedy, there is no segment of our populations which is condemned to silent, hopeless oppression. Canadians are blessed with abundant resources, both human and natural. We must resolve to devote our energy, our imagination, our intelligence and our com- passion to making the best use of them. Pierre Elliott Trudeau Ottawa, 1 9 7 0. I am delighted to again have this opportunity to extend to the students of the London Teachers ' College my good wishes as you prepare to take your place in the classrooms of our province. If our province and our country are to continue to grow economically and in the richness of the life to which we all aspire, we must have a highly educated citizenry. A great deal of our success in the future will depend upon your ability to instill in your students the human values and ethics of our society. On behalf of the people and Government of Ontario, I congratulate you for having chosen this calling and assure you of the support of all Ontarians in your teaching profession. The first time you read over this Yearbook you will probably skip anything as formal and dull as a foreword. In later days, in a reminiscent or thoughtful mood, you may turn over these pages again. I hope, at such time, that you will on reading this message reflect on your responsibilities as a teacher and consider some of the experiences that make teaching worthwhile. In these days of change and reorganization, it may seem to some people that we have totally abandoned our past to seek salvation in anything that is new or different. While there is a tendency for educational institutions to be conservative and we must continually search for viable relationships with life as it exists, we have not, in my opinion, ever sought to abandon our past. It is probably as true today as it was many years ago that the things a teacher lives by are the things of the spirit. In this connection, I would hope that faith is still with us - faith in mankind, faith in the final sovereignty of truth and faith in ourselves. I would hope that optimism is still with us - optimism to brighten a dull day or to enhance monotony. I would hope that good- will is still with us for this makes our relationships with our fellows more pleasant and more positive and helps to turn the wheels of existence more smoothly. Finally, I would hope that success is still with us - the success that springs from the knowledge that we have given our best and have not been found wanting. I have mentioned but a few of the things of the spirit. You will be able to add others of your own. I hope, as you read this page, that either you look forward to success in teaching or are able to contemplate a success that is already under way. That it has been said so often in no way diminishes the fact that the girls and boys of this Province hold the future - yours and mine - in their hands and your responsibilities as a teacher still demand the best that you can offer as they always have. I wish each of you the best of good fortune in your career. February 13, 1970. William G. Davis, Minister of Education. 7 After a year of preparations, farewells have been spoken, lines safely aboard and you are underway, launched upon your teaching career. Tedious as were the preparations, they were accom- plished. You are satisfied that you are ready to voyage forth. You have been guided , counselled and sometimes chided by the staff at London Teachers ' College, as skilled and as diligent a group of enthusiastic educators as you are likely to encounter. Their concern was to get you underway, equipped as well as possible to succeed as teachers. Surely you are already aware that education is a stormy passage. Veering gusts and gales of conflicting opinions on curricula and methodology have already given you much thought concerning the laying out of your course. Surely, too, you have observed that the staff at London Teachers ' College, your associate teachers and your own colleagues demonstrating that in this in- exact science of teaching that there is no one way but that there are as many ways as are required to be successful in communicating with your pupils. I would wish for you common sense, which when acquired in uncommon measure is what the world calls wisdom, to differentiate between first rate practices, worthwhile innovative techniques and the cyclonic fads in education that threaten to throw you far off of your course. In wishing you bon voyage I hope that you will always be aware that the staff and the College remains a safe harbour and, should you have need, one that stands ready to offer aid and support. Sincerely, D.F. Harris Principal 8 In order to cope with the accelerating pace of change, teachers must be able to incite change and control it. During your year at London Teachers ' College you have, no doubt, often considered the teacher ' s role in innovation and change. I should like to share a few ideas with you in the hope that you may become innovating teachers. If growth and innovation cause each other, then the function of the teacher must be to provide the medium in which the child can grow. You may find the following suggestions helpful: 1. Provide each child with a variety of things to think about. 2. Encourage each child to do his own thinking, but don ' t let him stop here. 3. Get each child to put his thinking down so that he can evaluate it. Let him write it, draw it, dramatize it, or put it together with his hands. 4. Encourage each child to evaluate what he has done. Generally, he will know if what he has thought is right or wrong, good or bad. If he is uncertain other children will tell him. If he wants you to evaluate it, get him to go through his thinking again with you and when you do he will find for himself the parts that are not in order. Growth of an innovating teacher should follow the same steps. I challenge you to try them! etntor VINI, VIDI, VIC I. Having chosen this quotation for our year- book theme, I feel that it would be appropriate to place it in context for you. It is within the capacity of all to perceive the superficiality of Caesar ' s statement. Since last September we have individually or collecti- vely conquered various tasks which have been set before us. For some the overwhelming obstacles of their first teaching practice, others their week of exams or seminar, and for many the fear of their inadequacy to communicate effectively. Should we have included another dimension with the caption, I THINK? . Perhaps we should, after all Caesar never did occupy all of the island. The examination of this statement in the light of one ' s own achievement is the responsibility of the individual. What did we conquer? Was it the system, or individual inadequacies, or what? I do not know. Perhaps the most important questions we should ask ourselves are, What didn ' t I conquer? and Did I really con- tribute all that I could to that which I did conquer? . As educators we have to continually evaluate the state of our commitments. If we do not take stock occasionally then we lose some of the energy dedication to task requires. In October 1969 I promised you a publication that you would be proud to display. The 1970 edition of Spectrum was made possible only because a few gave more than their initial commitment demanded for a book of this nature. The responsibility which commitment incurs must seriously be considered by us before we enter the teaching ranks. Accomplishment, through involvement, is followed by satisfaction. The yearbook staff feels this satisfaction, as in- deed we all should after our year in Teachers ' College. If we do not, then surely we must take a critical look at our own role since last September. The profession we have entered demands total involvement, not merely in our interaction with students or other staff members, but with all the elements observed in the spectrum of our environment. If we are not willing to become so involved then we do no less than a disservice to our profession. On behalf of the members of Spectrum I wish you well in your chosen career and satisfaction in the accomplishments which will undoubtedly be yours. Kenneth Bond, Editor-in-Chief Spectrum 1970.

Birchard B.A. Co-etutor Inspiration of one ' s peers is perhaps one of the most difficult tasks a student teacher can undertake. Philosophizing meets with only token success, while pointing out aims and ideals to be achieved is not really the role of co- editors. Each and every recipient of this publication will have confirmed his objectives, in the field of education, long before he is handed his Spectrum 70 . Our intention as co-editors has been, not to inspire, but to record the memories of a year which has cultivated a deeper inspiration than mere words could strike. Our best wishes to all the prospective teachers and may your thoughts of L.T.C. be fond, if not frequent.

He held for a moment, calmly poised, with one thought reverberating in his brain. His knees bending ever so slightly, his shoulders swung his arms full out in front of him. Perfectly aligned, Harlon pushed, hard and deliberately. That feeling of awareness that embraced him was neither unwelcome nor unfamiliar. Free to sense his outstretched vertical form snap fingertips to toe tops, and then reverse with fluid stretch and contraction, Harlon was!

I grew and the punks I bought with legs of torn up flies grew proud and independent. I contented them at first by blowing out the brains of fish with cherry bombs, then by knocking in the brains of foes and finally friends with my actor ' s fists. I lost them all when rivals came with dirty pictures more powerful than mine, and they chased me from my lesser hates so that I hated them. I grew alone safe only in my back yard then safer yet in the weeds and trees along the railroad tracks. I built shelters that would be my home when I ran away from others and made pathways that would take me there with speed. The Hoovers grew from parts of fallen trees laid on gullies in the rock. I cursed and swore at the weeds and sticks that stopped the ground from being bare and flat and made me know I was lying on the railroad ground and not a bed inside my other home. The top was made of cardboard and some tin that the sun had dried and cracked like my old man ' s fingers and that the wind would blow away. I had to put up new ones all the time. continued .... My knees stabbed me in the chest when finally I came close and I rose up to a window. My bulging eyes saw eyes that knew the night, and my lips were shaking ' cause all the time I thought that they might find me in it. A hand exploded on my shoulder a knife inside my brain, My voice screamed out like the pain of tearing legs and my fists I shot like stars in heads made senseless. They shot again, again against a hand that took all that I could give it A giant took my fist and held it till it opened. I ' m writing from a highway going west. I use the railroad lines and roads to meet the people that I know and stand beside as friends. Fists of friends have disappeared. ■ I : I I (continued) Down the tracks a half a mile I found a hobo camp with men and faces cracked like somebody was showing me those pictures in the schoolyard. I watched them from the bush and ran when eyes came near. Sometimes they saw and yelled and I ran all the faster still with my heart pounding in my ears. I ' d search those ugly nights for monsters to take back and I ' d go back and every time I ' d go alone. I hated every second but had to be there just in case I ' d change my mind and walk right in. That night a jail of rain refused an eye from seeing them and blackness filled the circle of their fire. I waited in the slimy wet with the quiet pulling at my ears listening for the sounds of men to catch me. When my guts had come I crept toward their shack. J. Umanetz THE WOMAN put it on softly so we don ' t hear you coming, beautiful woman Gord Harrison the man had lived in that well for a very long time a loud splashing and scraping made me turn in his direction two wrinkled and scarred palms appeared above the edge and then the hands fell forward to grip the cemented stones a bob of grey hair grew from the darkness two weary eyes stared at me and next a mouth appeared two ancient lips formed his words if I climb out now, after all these years, will you laugh at me? christ I don ' t know what I would do gord harrison tubent Council As president of the Student Council this past year I have had the opportunity to become familiar with and concerned about many different aspects of the teaching profession. I attended several conferences about teacher education and discussed problems pertinent to the profession with fellow teachers- in- training as well as practicing teachers. The one topic that was evident each time was that of the tremendous lack of communi- cation experienced across the profession and the resulting feeling of apathy common to student teachers and qualified teachers. However, as pervasive as the problem seems to be, I do not mean to imply that there are not exceptions. There are those in the profession who are gravely concerned about the situation and are doing their best against tremendous odds to alleviate it. Let me use the situation which we all encountered at the college this past year in order to exemplify what I am trying to say. What has been the most pervasive problem at London Teachers ' College? I would suggest that the answer would have to do with the lack of communication which we experienced. I am referring specifically to the problem of communi- cation among the students of the college. We can draw a parallel between the predicament we experienced during the past year and the problem encountered by those employed in the teaching profession. Communication is a problem with which each of us will have to deal throughout our teaching careers. Needless to say we will all find it necessary to communicate with our students. But, in addition, we must be able to communicate with our colleagues, administrators with whom we come in contact, and the parents of the children we teach. Secondly, there is a desperate need for discussion among teachers. As attitudes towards teaching change and as teaching methods change there will obviously be a need for teachers to become aware of these trends. Some teachers, and these people, fortunately, constitute a minority, are not keeping up to date concerning their profession. A more effective means of communication will help and encourage them to keep abreast of new developments. An awareness of the problem will help each of us not to succumb to the apathy and lethargy which often results after we have been absorbed into the system. No one teacher can be an island unto himself. We will all experience the need to associate with our colleagues and undergo an exchange of ideas. Unfortunately, the problem which often results is that this degree of communication is restricted to the particular school in which we are teaching. Let us all do our best to take our discussions and ideas out of the individual school sphere of influence and share them with our colleagues across the province and possibly beyond. How to accomplish this ideal remains to be seen. Communication is tantamount to becoming an effective and responsible teacher. Let us not fail in the future as we failed this past year. Good luck to you all. David C. Nicholls President, Student Council. 142 !§ tubent Council FRONT ROW: D. Bolger, L. Keppel, S. Robinson, Secretary; D. Gianelli, B. Jerry, K. Gingerich, M. Burns, M.
