THE .X'OR.XIAl.lTE rc-Cp.: IC-if 'P' SCDCIAL ACTIVITIES N the first morning at Normal, away with melancholy, seemed to be the hearty greeting extended to us. Knowing that we would be strangers to our new surroundings, Class D presented each one ofus with a printed sheet of welcome. XVe then congregated in the drill hall and enjoyed several snappy selections from Class Ds orchestra Their final vent of enthusiasm was given way in the rendering of the class song and yell. After being introduced to the Normal Staff we were given a warm welcome by our principal. We were designated to our various rooms where the teachers of teachers beamed upon us and called us blessed. Thus our life at Normal began. But they say, Theres no pleasure in living if you're to be corked up forever, which was shown by Class Ds Carnival. I-Iere games of chance were staged and fair youth carried off its trophies whilst superstition reigned supreme. The jitney dances made both the purse and the heart light and only the hrst faint flush of dawn revealed the homeward wending students. Other popular events of the season have been the skating parties and the class suppers. The regular class parties proved a huge success. The carefully decorated gymnasium easily compensated for the scarcity of space and a frequent jab of the elbow. It has been rumored, how- ever, that someone heard to murmur, lfyou're an eel, sir, conduct yourself like one. lf you're a man control vou're limbs, sir. The New Year brought with it a new Class D. Our welcome to them took the form ofa general entertainment in the school auditorium. B, C and A all contributed to the programme, DR. W. A. MCINTYRE acting as chairman. A humorous selection was presented by Class A representing the wisdom of Egypt and the beauty of Athens in a re- production of the famour melodrama Clementine Miss L. HoLMEs took the leading role. Are the paper wings still flapping Class A7 Class I3 showed their acquaintance with the classics in the staging of famous pictures. The careful presentation of Hope, The Angelus, Ruth and Naomi, and A Reading from Homer, were directed by IVIR. PETERKIN. As for Class C they entertained with a fancy. The attraction of childhood, the affection of childhood, the vivacity of baby face, the alluring figure of the vamp, the charm of the dancing partner, and the companion in sport all passed before his eyes and were forgotten in the true love of his bride-to-be. It was a very able repre- sentation. We concluded that there were a good many wild oats sown in this case. The serving of refreshments was a suitable conclusion to this enjoyable programme. Such pleasant times as these have only been made by the hearty goodwill and co-operation among the students themselves. Originality and musical talent have over and over again been generously offered. The result has been a splendid year in which we have worked hard and played happily together. Let us hope that our thinking and laughing together has not only been prohtable for the hour but for all time. Q14 9 Sixteen
