T H E S L' N D I A L Montrkat Normal School Page Four Mr. Woodward Mr . Woodward TO MR. AND MRS. WOODWARD All these years that we have known Mr. and Mr . Woodward, it has been a pleasure and an inspiration to be near them. Each year we have grown to love them more. Mrs. Woodward's sweet smile and winning personality have drawn each one of us very near to her. And Mr. Woodward—why, he has the patience of Job, and we all admire him for i:. We consider Mr. and Mrs.. Woodward two of the dearest friends that we have. There arc few things in life better than a friend. We count ourselves fortunate in having these two wonderful people as ours. Mr. and Mrs Woodward, you have made this school what it i and we cannot go from Montreal without realizing that you have made a real home lor u . In our home we know that we can go to our parent- at any time and get just the help we want and need, and so it has been with you. Wc have felt that we could come to you with our many joys, sorrows, and problems. Here are our best wishes for you as wc all separate. We hope you have the brightest years ever, and we know others whom vou are with will love you as do the students of the Monti S School. You have from us the deepest love and respect that a Student Body could give. TO MRS. S. L. WOODW ARD Sometimes one cannot express herself in her own words. Yet, while reading books, poems, or other articles, we find words put together so beautifully that we are bold enough to copy and use them to express our own feelings, especially words that suit a person so well that we immediately connect them with that person. With apologies to Edgar Guest I write the lines taken from one of his poems. The poem is for Mr-. ! . L. Woodward (our school mother) who gave us the beautiful rock-garden along the side of the road. “The lilacs in spring ring she mother once more. An' she lives in the midsummer rose. THE WOODWARDS To know them is to love them, Ihey’re friends of our better days, And as we find we've lost them Each one’s heart prays 1 hat God will treat them kindly, Where e'er tread their feet, That others may have blessings. As we've had in .Montreal. —E. Boyd.

May X, at four o’clock, a number of exp e- tant guests, musically interested, gathered at the lovely “House-in- the-Woods to attend the two hundred and forty-eighth recital of students of Mrs. Adams.

Ixmisc playing her own musical compositions. There were also piano duos. I.ncugh variety was presented through- out the whole program to make it interesting and very enjoyable. INSTALLATION SERVICE of The Young People of the Church April second marked the beginning of the new year in our young people's organization. On that night a beautiful and impressive in- -tallation service planned bv Mrs. Dorsey, our beloved and ever helpful adult advisor, ushered the new leaders of the group into office. I'.verv feature of this program emphasized the theme, light. During the first part of the program the retiring president pre- sided. The members of both the retiring and in-coming councils were dressed in choir robes. At the appointed time the two groups marched upon the platform, the out-going officers carrying lighted candles and the new officers carrying unlighted candles. The de- votional which followed emphasized the idea that we arc torch-bear- ers for Him who said, “Ye are the light of the world.” Fach re- tiring officer lighted the candle of her successor and repeated one of our Lord’s sayings about light. The last candle to U- lighted was the president's. When she received her torch, she accepted her new responsibility by offering a prayer invoking Divine guidance for all the officer- and members of the organization. Then she took the chair. The last feature of the program was a recessional which led to the lake. I’he two councils preceded the other members and marched to the opposite side of the lake where they set their candles adrift in the current to represent the light which it is their privilege to -hare with the group. While the candles were drifting across, the groups on each side of the lake sang responsively a number of hymns which carried out the theme. At a signal given by the president, the -ervice w.i closed with the Mizpah Benediction. The follow the girls who were installed to be our leaders: president, Ncllyc Means; vice president, Virginia Braswell; secre- tary, Sara Knox; treasurer, Inez Galloway ; and the following High- way Chairmen: Life l.nrichmeiit, Cora Belle Orr; Beyond the Sea , Fthlcen Keiincrs; Into the Homeland, Bernice Fdwards; Kn- I R ( i Stewardship, Iwouisc Alexander; and Comradeship.
