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.

North Bay Teachers' College 4, . n an u in u lu u In ll u In an un nu nn un--un ln mi un nn ul nu nn un nn nu nu nn nn ln mi nn nn ull up CITIZEN? The full moon hung brightly in the velvet sky. It silvered the snow-clad hills and tipped with dia- mond thc silent. snow-shrouded pines. Far up in the endless heavens swept the ever-changing northern lights. a continuous. majestic pattern ot colour. .-X man stood looking at the lights. a man whose back was bent with toil and age. Vladimir ,Nmdrusky looked deep into those flickering depths and there it seemed that, as on a vari-coloured screen, he could see his life reflected. Yladimir Aindrnsky was an old man now - his life was nearly over. He had lived long and he should have been content to die. And yet, as he looked at the lovely heavens, a bitterness arose within his soul, a bitterness and an overwhelming awareness ot the futility of his life. hp from the fetters of the past rose memories of the Ukraine, the land where he was born. He saw again the winding lane leading to the little whitewashed cottage clothed in blooming fruit trees. How he had loved life then: the hot days in the steppes with the sun beating upon his shoulders, the cool shade of the orchard. the simple church on Sunday, the singing and dancing in the soft glow of twilight! Young as he was. he had drunk deeply of its beauty and vowed that he would never leave it. As he grew older he saw the poverty and oppression of his people. but he still loved life, and determined to do all in his power to make it easier for the people who lived in this beloved land. University brought him into contact with a big city. big people. and big ideas. Along with many others he grasped the new Ideal, that of common owner- ship for the benefit of all. He had been young then, and the Ideal sounded so effective ..... Then the war broke out, and all his plans were shattered. Dragged against his will into an army he had always opposed, he found himself fighting against those whom he should have been fighting with, and his belief in the Ideal collapsed. Two years later he found himself in a prison camp and within six months he was faced with the alternative of staying in prison, or leaving the land he loved. He decided on the latter Y firm in the conviction that someday soon he would return and help rebuild his war-torn homeland. XYith this in mind, then, he had gazed for the first time upon his future home -- that vast expanse of icv wilderness they called Northern Ontario. He still loved life. and he still had hope, for would he not some- day return to his Ukraine? His first contact with the new land was in a city not unlike the one at which he attended university. Here he received his first awakening. He had entered the city with the thought of obtaining a position worthv of his education, but it seemed that his education was of no avail. No, they said, Your language is tif no -nee to us and you do not know ours well enough. Go to work in the lumber camps. So he went. His vcars in the steppes now stood him in good stead. and he soon became quite accustomed to the fact that his L-fiticatioii which was valued at home, was of so little use to him here. ln time he learned the language and the Cllsttillts, and married a girl from his homeland. Together they planned and saved in hope of returning. Then came the second awakening, the depression years, years of hard work for small wages. years which lilcssefl him with children, and years which drained his youth and strength. Now, with a family to care for, and nothing save his bare hands to do it with, the thought of his country receded a little. He became more concerned with perpetuating the customs for his homeland in this country so that his children could grow up in an environment as much like his as possible. His spare time was devoted to teaching the language and tgtictonis tu the new generations and his children and his neighbours, children grew up with a knowledge of ti-.o languages and a love of songs and dances, the ancient celebrations and the beautiful arts and crafts of . - v their fathers land. .Ns his children grew older, there came the third and most shocking awakening. For although these children loved their father's Cllsttiillls, their love for the land was not so binding as his, and they had no wish lr. retnrn. Hur place is here, they said. Your country we have never seen. lt was true, he realized, but tht- tliouglit had been a knife thrust in his soul, For now he knew how his life must be, and now all hope di'-fl witliin him. He must live on in obscurity, his ideals and resolves forever smothered. He must continue his lowly work in factories and lumber yards while the knowledge within him rotted and died, and, faraway, his lmomt-land writhed beneath the tyrant's hand. lli- children were married now and lived with their own children in their own homes. They still loved and rf,-in-ti thi- customs of their father's land, but for the land itself they cared little. .Xnd that land,-what of ii? lt una- now but a name attached to an insignificant state, one among the many under the tyrant's land. 'I lil' land was too weak and the tyrant too strong. The uprisings were few and quickly quclled. His iill'll 'll and his childri'n's children were living in the new land and becoming a part of it. They were per- fftlj. fontcnt. Xnd hc, Vladimir, was old, and his life was nearly over . . . . . 'I lat iliclqfring lights suddenly died in the northern sky and the night was black. Far away amid the i ' -i.o'.'. -lirondcfl pines came the lonely cry of the wolf. -SONJA SAPLYWY bf'-CE X16
