We find ourselves experimenting with it, discovering new things about it, even looking beyond it. I should think that young people would see this age as a time of great challenge - especially in this young and moving country of ours! For never before has Canada required the intellect, the ingenuity and the enthusiasm of her young people as she doestoday. But it seems unnecessary to elaborate on this point. You are already aware of the challenges before you and, in your studies and your activities, I know that you meet your responsibilities with ardour and resolution. I only wish to encourage your involvement and to express my hope that you will make the most of your talents and your education. With this in mind, I am happy to extend greetings to the students of North Bay Teachers' College and to wish you every success in the years ahead. 55 Pierre Elliott Trudeau Ottawa, 1970.

When those whose pictures fill these pages read these lines, whether in the spring of '71 or at some later time, they will be under the spell of one consuming thought: the seeming brevity of the year at teachers' college. Here are the photographs of many persons one would wish to have known betterg the pressure of responsibilities and the relentless march of the days prevented our getting to know many people at all. We on the staff feel this sense of missed opportunity and estrangement with a keenness every spring. We cherish the many friendships we have made among the students. We regret that there was not time for more to ripen. Two profound commitments are made by a teacher when he enters the profession and are renewed throughout his career. He gives his devotion to his pupils as individuals and he gives his devotion to man's unending search for truth . Sometimes there is unavoidable conflict between these concerns and one must temporarily be sub- ordinated to the other. This year at North Bay Teachers' College we have had to emphasize the latter of the two. This concentration upon the matter of education has been necessitated by the accelerated evolutionary spurt which education is undergoing today in response to a rapidly evolving and altering society. In our year at Teachers' College we are grateful to our associate teachers, members of the clergy, the stu- dents' council and other student leaders. It is our firm hope that collectively we have illuminated principles which will assist you, the graduates, in working successfully with boys and girls in the new era which is dawning. You have worked hard in your year at college and many of you have been an inspiration to us. May you find joy, friendship and love in your careers and lives! A. I. Johnson Acting Principal. l 3
