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.

Memories of people we met and enjoyed, -of places we went and of things we saw, will stay with us many a day, There will also be memories of the lesson, real and meaning- ful, in tolerance, that we learned from associations with our class-mates All these, spiced with a few sharp memories of disappointments, serve to remind us of a year the like of which we have never before seen lt has been a year in which we have seen a new meaning to life, because we have had a definite goal for which to aim, And we have seen our goal come closer and closer to realization. Now at the end of our training we have, as the popular song says, Mixed Emotions. Each one of us deep down inside, knows that, in his own way, he has a contribution to make to the profession and to society We are all a bit eager to get out on our own, try our wings, and make our contribution to the profession e e our profession, And yet, after only one short year of training, in a way we feel inadequate in comparison to the task which lies before use I have found a poem which expresses this feelingi ' Lord. folio 11111 I to fl'tIl'lI flu' Quay To little 1'lzild1'011 clay lljl day.
