To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour. William Blake Congratulations to the graduates of 1973. Your experience at London Teacher ' s College and in its Associated Schools has prepared you to begin your career in teaching. In saying that I am implying something very signif- ica nt and important; you must also continue a career of learning. In your life and career you have reached a stage of social maturity; interdependence with all its attendant freedoms and responsibilities. My very best wishes for success. A9. D.F. Harris, Principal 4 The chief goal of early education is the unconscious moulding of the mind and char- acter, so said Plato. So also said Sir Richard Livingstone when he maintained that the teacher ' s major aim should be to kindle the inquiring mind and not to build a storehouse of knowledge. Although your effect upon a child ' s progress towards his potential may seem immeasur- able, nevertheless, it will be significant. To have a share in this process makes ours a truly, noble profession. We must, therefore, continually strive to be worthy of the respon- sibility that is ours. Let us resolve to look upon all those whom we teach as invaluable individuals, striving for fulfillment, deserving of our understanding, and needing our trust. Let us believe in their worth and let us respect the dignity of each as a fellow man. By such a course, we can help to create the good in which we believe. J.G. Elford Vice -Principal The 1972 - ' 73 session of London Teachers ' College is not over. It has just begun. You have started to learn how to become a teacher. As you continue into the future in your chosen profession, which is often as frustrating as it is gratifying, I hope you never contem- plate that you have reached a point where you think there is nothing left to learn about teaching. If this past year has done anything to influence your life, I hope that it has shown you that the emphasis should be on learning and not teaching. All the frustrations that you encountered during the year and all the contradictions that you observed in theory and practice, should have made you realize the immense impor- tance of your role to facilitate learning in our society. Be confident and stand up for your principles. Don ' t be afraid to involve and experiment. Above all keep the fire of motiva- tion burning to light the way on your quest for learning. To all those who have made this year interesting and active, Thank you! To all of you, my best wishes for an exciting and challenging life in the career of learning.

A POTPOURRI OF EVENTS 63 65 67 68 (S 73 EDITOR ' S MESSAGE As editor of this yearbook I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone unqualified success as they embark upon their chosen career of teaching. For most, teaching will be the culmination of long and difficult years at school and university. For some, however, it will be the realization of a desire which took many years to fulfill. Whatever our individual reasons are, and they will be as varied and numerous as the people enrolled at London Teachers ' College this year, it will be with a considerable amount of trepidation that we enter the classroom next September. The task before us will be difficult as we put into practice all the knowledge and ideas that we have ac- cumulated during the past year. Our formative years in teaching will be filled with moments of happiness and despair as we attempt to find ourselves and chart our course on the vast sea of education. If we remember that teaching is a labour of love we will do well. The following excerpt, whose origin is unknown to me, may serve to remind us of the task before us; Those daily teaching scenes emphasize that no human endeavor requires more wisdom, more humility, more labour, more love, or more dedication than teaching. This edition of Spectrum will be somewhat different in format from previous years. Due to lack of space we were unable to represent specific activities. However, the purpose of a yearbook i s to recall moments which are gone forever. The staff of Spectrum felt that this would be better accomplished through pictures. Thus the theme of our book is a pot- pourri of events. We sincerely hope it will serve its purpose in years to come. I would personally like to thank the staff of Spectrum; Karen Jones, Barb Tillman, Judy Howard, Mary Benson, and all of those who gave some part of their time and without whose help this book would never have been possible. The editorial staff join with me in wishing you all every success. Doug Warford Editor-in-Chief Spectrum, 1973 75 WELCOME TO THE TEACHING PROFESSION! Welcome to the teaching profession. I ' m Ron Poste, President of the Ontario Public School Men Teachers ' Federation, an organization of some 14,000 men who teach in the public elementary schools of this Province, and one of the five groups of teachers which form the 105,000 member Ontario Teachers ' Federation. In a few short months, the sancturary of the teacher training programme will be behind you, and you will face the awesome responsibility of planning to influence the future lives of the students you meet. As the most important and influential person in a student ' s life with the exception of his immediate family, your successes and your failures in meeting this challenge will label you as a VIP or as an undesirable in his roster of personal contacts. This is not a road easily travelled alone, and advice and assistance are available from your professional colleagues, and your professional organization. Your Federation can offer you much needed support, and it requires your support. Membership is a condition of employment, and I look forward to your ideas are known and your needs are met.
