The heavens too, are still. Save for a few streaks of light from a falling star, nothing mars its studded deepness. This is my favourite sort of night for my brightness seems to glitter even more. On earth they have called me Polaris but here in heaven I am the Bright One. Then, too. at night, I am given the power of speech. XYhile the world is sleeping, I can look down on my companion. the silvered dome on the North Bay Teachers' College. Through the day. llly beauty is forgotten but at night I can learn about the wonderful times that have taken place under that dome. I remember a tea at the beginning of the year when everyone felt strange and a little out-of-place. But not for long: soon they were all having so much fun finding out everyone's names I felt a little lonely here in space. They had few boys in the College this past year hut, even so, everyone enjoyed themselves. I well recall the I-Iallowe'en party. That night Mr. Moon came out in all his glory and we gave our coats an extra shine. Oh, it was so exciting to see everyone dressed in all sorts of weird costumes and to go through the ghost-walk! The girls got their chances to get a man on Sadie Hawkins day. Such laughter and fun I had never seen before! Une would think that the vividness of the summer garden had been transferred to the lapels of the young men. Friday afternoons were special occasions for me for I was always entertained by many sorts of pro- grams, some educational and some in a lighter vein. I have seen Shakespeare enacted and a vivid puppet show. The United Nations and the Red Cross also had a place in college life. Enthusiasm was overwhelming when it was decided to raise money for the Red Cross during Red Cross XXX-ek. Pennies ran from the very bottom stairs right up to the dome. I think the biggest event was the Christmas dance, when the assembly hall was transformed into a eandyland filled with lights and good things to eat. But the brightness of the decorations was dimmed by the lirilliant splashes of colours that waltzed around the floor to the soft music of the orchestra. Christmas holidays came to an end all too soon and everyone came back to school. There was no chance for getting homesick on Fridays because always there was some event at the school-skating parties, tobog- ganing and just plain friendly get to-gethers where som: danced and others played games or just talked. Then there was Drama Club night. Vllhat did i. matter if a few lines were forgotten? Everyone had the time of their lives. Remember Oliver Twist and poor little Nell? And who could forget the laugh riot of This Could Happen To You , Even the Dome rocked with laughter that evening and I swear I even qletected some make-up on that silvered profile. All the good times didn't take place at the college, however. There was the tiring but inspiring trip to Ottawa. I-low the students thrilled at seeing their favourite politician in action. Then at the end of the year with tears in their eyes, the students said farewell at their May Formal. Now the sun is coming up and I must go to hezl. I've been up so many nights the past year I can scarcely keep my one eye open. y Polaris. MY SECOND HOME CHRISTMAS CANDYLAND Iln' 'Z'll1.t't' said, l'v.r, Sn lw1'fatI1Ii'.rsIy.

SECOND TERM STUDENT'S COUNCIL The second term Council had its first meeting on Monday, january 25. 195-I and met regularly every Monday. Our duties were social activities, assem- hliei and the Ottawa tour. Our social activities included the tohoggan party, a carry-over from the old Council, who had to postpone it due to cold weather. IYe had a Valen- tine skating party at the Arena, and an Indoor Track Meet. where the hroadest smile won the hroad jump and the swimming contest consisted of con- suming a howl of water with a spoon. After the liaster holidays there was the Folk Dance party where national costumes were worn and Hindu Ten- llay Curry was on the menu. The most important event of all, was the May Formal, which we worked on for a long time. XXX-rk on the Council kept us husy, hut we cer- tainly enjoyed it and thought it was a wonderful experience.

CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP STU IXIIIOTU Cl!I1'I'Sf, and to .lltzkc Him. 1XVllUTt'II.U Every Monday noon we met for the Bible study. discussion and prayer. Ioan Frewing, district super- visor, organized the group in the fall and attended meetings whenever she was in town. Evelyn Taylor, sponsor, was there each meeting with help and in- spiration. XVe studied a hook entitled Basic Christianity and had some excellent discussions on such topics as XYhat is Sin? and XYhat does it mean to he- lieve? For further inspiration we had speakers. Mrs. Wallace with the aid of a film strip, compared our lives as teachers to Christ's. Then Miss Taylor spoke on The Three Daughters of Grace. ,Ioan Frewing pointed out the message of Easter in Isaiah. Twice during the year we had Fireside - first at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Vindon and then at Maylon's. XYhat a marvelous time for a message, fellowship, fun and food Iof coursel. An inspiration, a guide and a goal is Paul's plea. As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in I-Inn. FILM GROUP lfarly in the fall, a film group was organized hy Mr. Deyell. Our work during the year has in- cluded several film nights for all the students. Pro- grammes included films on child study, history. nature, travel and discussion ahout the films.
