H. McKone Prlncipal of Peterborough Normal School, l943fl946. Message to the Students of the Ontario Normal Schools HOSE of you who graduate this year-will be entering the most important part of our educational system at one of the most chal- lenging periods of our own and the wor1d's history. In the elementary schools our children are given much of their most important education in their most impressionable years. We want our children to be well educated in the academic sense but even more important than academic attainment is the good judgment, good will, good health and good spirit which will make them healthy, happy and successful citizens of this great country. In their hands, to a very great degree, will rest the future of our country in the years ahead. Yours is the great responsibility and the great opportunity to build clean young bodies and clean young minds worthy of that all important task. I wish every one of you the utmost success and happiness in your work ahead. GEORGE C. DREW, Minister of Education. Page Two T IS a privilege to be able to express sentiments to the class of 1946-47 through the medium of your year book. I hope that time will prove that you selected your profession wisely. It is difficult to measure your efficiency in terms of a product, because of the fact that your efforts must help to provide society with a good citizeng one who is, while happy himself, at the same time, of service to his com- munity. To know that you are successful from day to day you must have a vision of such a task. You will prove yourself to be a good citizen as well as a good teacher by being happy yourself while rendering service to your community in your chosen vocation. The staff has enjoyed the year of association with you in your training year. As a class you have been an admirable group of teachers in the making. You now go forth to prove the effectiveness of your training. May I wish for you a very enjoyable experience. L. W. COPP, Principal. Page Three Normal School Staff L. W.

SCIENCE AT SIX In winter time when things won't grow God powders all the rain to snow And puts it in his frigidaire To keep it safe from spoiling there. When spring comes round again and wakes The big and little roots God takes The snow and warms it in the sun To give a drink to everyone. H. E. AMOSS Director of Professional Training. From Sunday-Monday: Selected Poems, by Harry Amoss. By permission of The Ryerson Press. Page F ive Staff Messages To condition teachers-in-training to meet challenges is one aim of the Normal School. True teachers thrill with pleasure in meeting such problems, pedants are bored thereby. Awaiting solution, there are such questions as determining what children of various ages ought to be learning, the individualization of instruction, and how to develop fully the abilities of every child. What will you be pleased to contribute? May each of you be a happy teacher: there is no other kind. --F. B. SMITHERAM. 4'All this struggling and striving to make the world better is a great mistakeg not because it isn't a good thing to improve the world if you know how to do it, but because struggling and striving is the worst way you could set about doing anything. . . fGeorge Bernard Shawl. G. L. WOODRUFF. 4'Sing, sing, music was given To brighten the gay and kindle the living. QUIRT MCKINNEY. WHY I TEACH Because I would be young in soul and mind Though years must pass and age my life constrain, And I have found no Way to lay behind The fleeting years, save by the magic chain That binds me, youthful, to the youth I love, I teach. Because I would be wise and wisdom find From millions gone before, whose torch I pass, Still burning bright to light the paths that wind So steep and rugged, for each lad and lass Slow-climbing to the unrevealed above, I teach. Because in passing on the living flame That ever brighter burns the ages through, I have done service that is worth the name, Can I but say, The flame of knowledge grew A little brighter in the hands I taught, ' I teach. -OLGA I. JOHNSTON. Page Six , To the graduates of the 1946-47 class, I should like to extend a most sincere Wish for success and happiness in your work as teachers. -M. OLIVE CLELAND. You must have a house to live in and it must be built so that it will be permanent and furnished so that it will be interesting. It is your thought house. .... Ada Cox Fisher. -B. LATIMER. To the students of '46-47 go my best Wishes for a successful and happy teaching career. In the days that lie ahead may each one of you:- Hold high the torch! In your strong hands The future lies to-day. Hold high the torch! Its light may help Others on the Way. The World needs young and steady hands To guide it right to-day, And loyal hearts and steadfast minds! Be it yours to lead the Way. With pleasant memories of our art classes together. Sincerely, CONSTANCE E. WAGAR. TEN LAWS OF SUCCESS 1. Work Hard-Hard work is the best investment a teacher can make. 2. Study Hard-Knowledge enables a teacher to work more intelligently and effectively. . 3. Have Initiative-Ruts often deepen into graves. 4. Love Your Work.-Then you will find pleasure in mastering it. 5. Be Exact.-Slipshod methods bring slipshod results. 6. Have the spirit of conquest.-Then you can successfully battle and overcome difficulties. 7. Cultivate Personality.-Personality to the teacher is what perfume is to the flower. 8. Help and Share with Others.-The real test of teacher greatness lies in giving opportunities to others. 9. Be Democratic.-Unless you feel right toward your fellow men you can never be a successful leader of men. 10. In all things do your best.-The teacher who has not done his best has done nothing. The teacher who has done his best has done every- thing. -G. E. MUNRO, Page Seven To the Graduating Class of 1947 N THE entrance hall of a great institution, where students like you are preparing for a life of service in the teaching profession, stands a foun- tain with a green-bronze statue of The Boy and the Duck by Emory Seidel. Engraved in the stone of the enclosing base are the words, Every- one That 'l'n1rsteth, Come Ye to the Waters. The Canadian people have committed themselves to a programme of universal education. ln common with but a few other nations our country offers to every boy and girl an opportunity to drink of the waters. And you as teachers-in-training have undertaken voluntarily to assume the greatest position of trust and responsibility in Canada's educational pro- gramme. The teacher is the keystone in the educational arch. The opportunity to serve others through teaching has never been so great. Never before have the children of our province needed wise guidance by competent teachers so much. May your period of training fit you to give without stint of your energy, your enthusiasm and your under- standing in the interests of our boys and girls. And in quenching the thirst for truth of those under your care, may you End great personal happiness. F. S. RIVERS. ' Inspector of Professional Training Schools. REGARD it as a privilege to welcome you to the teaching profession. and to offer you my best wishes for happiness and success in your chosen field of work. I wish you happiness in your work, because a happy teacher means a happy classroomg and in a happy classroom the growth and development of children most readily takes place. Children are happiest when they are active in pursuits that are suited to their stage of developrnentg when the activities they engage in are motivated by a strong purposeg and when they have a sense of achieve- ment and progress. Under such conditions a co-operative relationship between teacher and class. and among members of the class, is readily established and maintained. Under such conditions learning takes place most effectively and with the greatest economy of effort and time. Happiness in one's work depends on one's success in it. Success in teaching means that the pupils shall not only learn the facts and skills offered by the curriculum, but that they shall grow in their ability to work and play and live with others. Such success can only be attained by the teacher who knows his pupils and is interested in them as people. as well as knowing his subject-matter field and how to present it. It demands intelligent planning, unlimited good-humoured patience, and the persistence which does not admit defeat. Such success, when it comes, brings a deep and abiding satisfaction to the teacher who has achieved it. With all my heart I wish that you may have success in great measure, and that the cup of your satisfaction may be heaped up and flowing over in the years to come. Sincerely, C. F. CANNON.

Faces were becoming familiar but, as yet, we knew only a few of our fellow students' names. That was the situation on September 16th, 1946, when under the direction of Mr. Woodruff, we elected a few students to form the fall executive of the Literary Society. The following candidates for the various offices were elected: President ........... George Cronk Vice-President .... . . Mary King Secretary .... . . Lyle Hoskin Treasurer .... . Bettie Walden Form Representatives: Form I ..... . Marjorie Bennett Form II ........... Lindy Mclntosh Form III ........... Arden McLean Our first meeting was carried out under considerably unusual cir- cumstances. Due to the happy arrival of a baby girl to the Cronk family, our proud president was unable to be present and so the first meeting opened with the vice-president in the chair. The Halloween party, tea dance, and Christmas party were sponsored by the Literary Society. In addition to having complete charge of the opening exercises and science reproduction stories each morning, weekly meetings were held. Through Mr. Woodruff's kind assistance and advice the work of preparing these occasions was lightened considerably. The success of any of the undertakings which the fall executive attempted was always due to the cheerful co-operation of the student body. --MARY KING. BEYOND WEALTH The scent of lilac in an April eve, The gentle push of Springtimeis breeze, A yellow crocus nodding in soft grass, These joys are mine in Spring. The sapphire blue of lakes between the hills, The aspen's flutter, the jewelled swallowis flash, A thresher pouring golden stars into the heat of day, All these and more are mine in Summer. The scent of buckwheat, heavy and enchanting, The scarlet sumach in a blaze of glory, A puff of smoke that bears a leaf's soul upwards, The wealth of Autumn lies before me. The aura of frost about a street light, The sequin sparkle of clear moon on snow, The joy of children at this precious whiteness, All beyond wealthg all mine, in Winter's show. p -BETSY ENGLISH. Page Eleven The Literary Society f f Spring Term VERYBODY was excited! This was election day! The turmoil hadn't arrived unexpectedly though, because for several days now restless- ness had prevailed. First the nominations, then those ever memorable campaign speeches. Now the culmination of it all-the election! And what an election! No more anxiety could be shown in a federal election than was displayed that day at P.N.S., while we were fervently awaiting the results. At last the great moment arrived and on the bulletin board we saw those ever important names of the Spring Executive. President ............. Jim Covert Vice-President .......... Joan Cameron Secretary ..... . Gerry Farrar Treasurer ...... . Barbara McLeod Form Representatives: Form I. ...... . . Joyce Fleming Form II. ........... Berenice Spencer Form III. ........... Bruce Patterson How time has been afleetingsince that day though. Now the winter days have faded and as we reminisce we realize the wisdom of our choice of the executive. What a wonderful time we have had. Every Literary meeting has been a success under the capable management of our President, Jim Covert. And then those happy parties we have had together-the At Homew, the Sleigh Ride, St. Patrick's party and finally our farewell party. Every moment has been full of activity which has been fostered by the spirit of good-will so necessary in the school. -JOAN CAMERON. RAVIN G Once upon a midnight dreary, While I pondered weak and weary Over lessons,- Came a knocking at my door. Enter Woodruff, Copp, McKinney, Smitheram and many more. Staunchly they did all entreat me Not to let my lessons beat me, And come half way to meet me They would, if I'd raise my score. Still I pondered, wild eyed, bleary, Quaking at these Masters errie. In the half light They came forward to implore: Never worry over lessons, Just come knocking at my door. CI've been at the bottom lately So they did not underrate me.J Gosh I hope they will not hate me Evermore. I -IRENE WALTERS- Page Twelve KI ap.

Editorial HE STAFF of the 1946-47 Year Book take pleasure in presenting this edition of the Peterborough Normal School Year Book to you. Yet that pleasure is dimmed by the knowledge that We feel We are Writing an end to one of the happiest and best years of our lives. May this book serve as a fitting souvenir of those memorable times we have spent together. It is our hope that it may not fall too short of your expectations. To the staff and students Who assisted in any Way to prepare this book. we Wish to express our thanks, and to Mr. Smitheram we offer a special Word of appreciation for his untiring efforts on our behalf. As a group of students gathered from various parts of the province, We have played together, Worked together, and friendships have been made. Many memories will remain, entvvined around this domed portal. VVe have rushed our dinners, completed assignments at the last minute, hurried to meet the taxis . . . and yet we are sorry when it is all over. This year has proved surprisingly short. We leave behind our friends, our pleasures, our successes, and Worries and failures, too. As We leave the friendly environment of the Normal School, may We remember this quotation: Let us have no fear of the future, but think of it as opportunity and adventure. Editor-HELEN BURNS Assistant Editor-JAMES COVERT Page Thirteen My First Lesson HE ASSIGNMENTS are in! There's mine! Grade Eight: Topic- Weed seed dispersal , What a cinch! and what's more there's a whole week-eight days to be exact-for preparation. This Normal School life certainly is going to be an easy one. There was only one Haw in this set up-the lesson plan. Oh well, fifteen minutes or less will have that out of the way and then, clear sailing for the rest of the week. Clear sailing indeed, a tornado couldn't have torn by more quickly. Before I knew it, I found myself in the room where I was to teach my first lesson. Was I worried? Not on your life. I had really outdone myself for this, my first lesson, and had spent hours gathering weed seeds for concrete material, and my lesson plan, except for neatness, was in perfect shape. Time couldn't pass soon enough until I would be teaching. There is the bell and here corne the pupils. Little Grade VIII pupils are they! They look big enough to be University students. Surely I don't have to stand up in front of them and try to teach! Strange, I don't seem to know my work. One short week certainly isn't long enough to prepare a lesson, and such a big topic as t'Weed Seed Dispersal ! Why I . . . Next Lesson snaps me to my feet. I run the gauntlet of piercing eyes to the front of the room, turn like a caged beast and await the death blow. What a ghastly silence! Is that someone at the door or is it really my knees? What is wrong with my tongue? Why is it so dry and lifeless? And my jaw, why won't it close? How did my introduction begin? Oh if I could only remember! Then to my utter amazement and relief a strange quavering squeaky voice whispers Nature it seems .... and I am away faway out of this world, in factj. What am I saying? Make a note? That means then that I arn through. Oh but am I! I am through with the lesson perhaps but not with the humili- ation and disgust of finding out that my spelling on the blackboard has to be corrected by a pupil and that concrete material had remained forgotten, overlooked, and untouched. Perhaps you ask: t'What of the criticism? I can't remember that. You see, in my already deflated condition, the added knowledge that Mr. Copp had witnessed that slaughter, had left me sans breath. sans strength, sans dignity, sans everything, except a faint hope that if I really worked this year at Normal, I might learn how to teach school. This was the beginning-typical, I am told. ' -ROSS FLEMING. MY PHOTOGRAPH I had my picture takenk-I! They say the camera cannot lie. Alas! I have a twisted eye, A nose too long, a brow too high, A mouth that sags into a sigh. My face looks like a custard pie That sorneone's dropped right from the sky. They say the camera cannot Hel Can this be I? Alas! Oh, my! -ISABEL HEFFERNAN. Page Fourteen Our Delegates Chosen to represent Peterborough Normal School, Miss Mary King and Mr. Bruce Curtis attended the At Home of the Toronto Normal School. Misses Betsy English, Berenice Spencer, Bernice White and Mr. Don Nicholls were elected to attend the O.E.A. Convention in Toronto during Easter week. At the time of writing no report of their activities was available. Critical Times at Normal OT SO LONG ago they were known as critic teachers . To-day they have assumed the more pleasant sounding alias of practice school staff . Admittedly the latter designation is less forbidding to the newly arrived Normalites. For the first few weeks of Normal School life the student teachers are not exposed to the mercies of the august group upon which their destinies may largely depend. Then all too suddenly the first lesson descends upon us and we all come face-to-face with reality. A few lucky CD students had a Normal School Master present on this initial venture also. That first lesson! The practice teacher, who seemed such a lovely person on observation day, suddenly takes on for us the appearance of a stern-faced judge, whom you can see rather hazily at the back of the roorn, over the sea of pupils, writing furiously to record your teaching errors .... And then it is all over. You grope your way to the back and nervously await the sentence. After an interminable period, school is dismissed and the critical moment arrives. We've had it. What did you like about your lesson? , we have since learned, is the stock question employed by practice teachers to begin a criticism. Polite- ness is the better part of valour on such occasions, so student number one mumbles an unintelligible remark about, It could have been better . After learning the students' opinion of the lesson, we realize what rank amateurs we are when the practice teacher tosses away the disguise and becomes a critic in the flesh. So many faults we didn't think one person could possibly have. Your introduction should have been a story . . . don't ask, 'How many have seen one'?' 'Can someone tell me?, 'What about this?' . . . did I hear you say, 'I have saw' . . . use more expression . . . your summary could have been better . . . why didn't you use print script . . . But I liked your lesson. You have a nice manner with the children. So on and etc. With spirits rising and falling, alternately, as the practice teachers continue to disect our lessons, week after week, we approach the end of the fall term with misgivings. Finally the big moment arrives for a glance at our teaching graph. Hearts beating wildly as Mr. Copp methodically thumbs through the pages of the Doomsday Book, we offer a belated prayer as he says, ah! here it is. Hoping for the best, we take a quick glance at the graph and jittery as We may be, try to picture the lessons as they appear. Why it seems to zig where I thought it should have zagged! And it actually seems to be ascending! Suddenly Normal School becomes a much better place, the Masters are all grand fellows and the practice teachers really aren't critics. They're just practice teachers! -J IM COVERT. Page Fifteen THOUGHTS OF A STUDENT When lesson plans are failures And everyth1ng's a mess, I wonder why I came here, Up here,-to P.N.S.? My practice teachers haunt me. My graph goes up and down, And from the eyes of masters, I only get a frown. We're taught the perfect lesson. fThat's in the perfect schooll. But put it into practice And try to keep the rule! The little brat who's hiding Behind an angel face, Is just the one who's throwing Soft spitballs into space! But just the same I like itg The leisure time, and all The hours I spend in cheering Our stars of basketball. The projects and the craftvvork, The music and the fun, .lust make our Normal family A great big happy one! But most of all we cherish The friendships that we make. Some may be everlasting, The kind that never break. For next year, when we're tired Of books and classrooms drear, We'll wish for fellow students And P.N.S. so dear. -IRENE WALTERS. Valedictory Lindy Mclntosh HE DAYS grow longer, but time grows shorter, for 'tis Spring, and Spring has only one meaning-the completing of the term at P.N.S. T. B. Gleave once wrote, In all the world there is no place so dear as home, and since that memorable day of September 10, 1946, when We were but Strangers in a strange land being made very Welcome, P.N.S. has spelled t'home . Do you recall Miss Johnson's words? You will leave Normal School with tears in your eyes.' And shall we? Ah, yes! But will we remember P.N.S. with tears in our eyes ? Ah, no! As one wee lady would declare. Page Sixteen Spruce up and stop this weeping willow stuff! Smile as you remember that very first day with its awful misgivings and shy across-the-aisle glances-the quaint manner in which every master described the others- the dogtags drooping from our necks-Mr. lVIcKinney's remarkable memory for names- clicking acquaintances with Form III over knitting needles- your first lesson fostering the principle, The most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do whether you like it or not -Miss J ohnston's cooking classes-that Toronto trip-all the Friday night get-to-gethers with Mr. Copp directing the dips and dives in the ocean waves, and the Woodruff-McKinney duet tduelj hammering sweet and oh-so-nice nothings at the piano-the man power shortage-projects and more projects-Miss Cleland's dimples, Mr. Smitheram's jokes and Mr. Munro's vitality-the last minute rushes for morning assemblies- O Moon of My Delight and John blowing a fuse- the gossip column in Friday's newspaper enkindled by the daily rendezvous at the corner canteen-Let us remember every happy hour enjoyed at P.N.S., and let us think of the days to come. We stand at the crossroads. We have covered the training groundg a bright unknown territory beckons to be explored. Now, more than ever before, we value and cherish the grains of thought sown and harvested through the Normal staffs skillful instruction and the kindly constructive criticism expressed by practice teachers. And may we not, while teaching the fundamentals based upon the universal textbooks of man-Shakespeare, Homer and the Bible, forget the three C's so stressed during our Normal School year,-Courtesy, Courage and Co-operation. Scarcely can we delve into the future's mysteries, but because We are young we regard the future with faith and because we have accepted the noble challenge of the teaching profession, we shelter in our hearts a hidden hope, a prayer, a desire-perhaps, a desire not unlike that of Lester Keathley's- MY DESIRE Give me ears to hear the questions Of a knowledge-seeking childg To his problems great and mildg Give me patience, never-ending, For the things I teach and dog Clear my vision-may I ever Feel his needs and see his view. Make me with the child to wander Through his happy fairy landsg Let me skip with him and listen To imaginary bands. Soon his fairies all will vanish And the music fade awayg Fantasies will change to visionsg Work will rival happy play, Soon if I may be companion, Friend and playmate of a child, I shall never doubt his learning While I teach the things worth while. Blair Hanthorn, commenting upon seeing Mr. Woodruff carry a metre stick from the school: I guess Mr. Woodruff is going to find if the family measures up to the 'Principal's standards'. Page Seventeen THE LESSON PLAN lt's not a pixie nor an elf, lt's not a gnost all white, It's merely that old lesson plan That haunts me in the nignt. Its aim is something high falutin' Found mostly in a book. And for your fill of lengthy words Towards this aim just look. The introduction's next, I'm told. ,Tis there you motivate Or pry into the pupil's past So he may cogitate. Comes now the mighty problem round. You play it like a game. fYou ask the pupil if held like, But he plays it just the samej You start with questions of the kind That's sure to make them think. And every one must build-you see- A chain. Each one's a link. To liven up the lesson now, Just add some illustration, 'Twixt matter'n method break it up fThey call this presentationj For recapitulation then I never could discern Why some folks have to hear a thing Ten times before they learn. Oh yes! The application step. And here at last you gloat! Now be quite sure it's useful And anything but a note! -JOAN LESLIE. ExfService Personnel at P.N.S.

ExfService Personnel lnvade Peterborough Normal School ITHOUT meaning to be ambiguous, 'Everything was not normal at the Normal School this year. Last September, when opening day for school arrived, there were to be seen along the corridors of P.N.S. a group of slightly bewildered lads, who despite their apparent experience in worldly things, were as much at home here as the proverbial fish out of water . On closer inspection, one could see on the lapels of this group, that well-known emblem, signifying discharge from one of His Majesties Forces. Represented not only on the student body, the ex-service- men also had a fellow member on the staff, in the person of Mr. G. L. Woodruff. Something of a novelty for the first few days, the veterans quickly adopted the school spirit and throughout the year have managed to con- tribute their share in making Normal School life an enjoyable experience. Although the ex-service group were somewhat loathe to tell of their experiences, the Year Book Committee felt that their presence should be recognized in some manner, and therefore persuaded the boys to let us print the foregoing data in connection with their service. Page Nineteen f V - -- --v-X The Athletic Committee VEN in a Normal School, Athletics have their place. In Peterborough, this place was prominent indeed, pervading the entire course. Are games not essential in school life? Moreover, did the student body not select leaders to be members of their Athletic Society? As staff counsellor, Mr. McKinney furnished the necessary inspiration. From Form I, June Brown CSecretaryJ and Gerry Farrar were chosen. Gwen Hill tVice Presidentb and Marion McGill represented Form Il and Form III elected Lawrence Outram fPresidentJ and Austin Cronk. These six gave leadership to the various athletic activities of the school, activities which added much to the year's enjoyment. Eight baseball teams were organized and played off their complete schedule. Though few remember the names of the champions, all recall the enjoyment of being kids again. Indoors, the merriment of sports was daily evident around the table tennis equipment. Early in the morning, at noon, between classes, during spares fofficial and otherwise, if possiblej the table was in use, chiefly by persons known as Sagriff and Runnalls. Incidentally, these two won the tournament. Nor was badminton omitted. The gymnasium was the scene of many a thrilling game and of another fine tournament. Who won it? Don't you remember? Then, too, we must mention that joyous sleighriding party. It must be recorded that 1947 was a winter of deep snow, necessary for sleighing although a handicap to outdoor rinks. The humiliation endured by some hockey teams may be attributed to the snowstorm. The proudest athletic achievements were accomplished by that gallant group of girls who represented P.N.S. in the Ladies' Basketball League. Coached by Mrs. Haig Kelly, these girls played to win. They won their share of games and admitted defeat only when the final whistle blew. Win or lose, every game ended with Normal pressing to the utmost. The contest over, they accepted victory modestly or defeat graciously. The Athletic Committee hopes that such sportsmanship will ever be character- istic of the 1947 class. --GWENDOLYN HILL.

T. Training HOUGH melodies sweet pour from the music room at all hours of the day, it is during noon that the deserted building reverberates with the tortured notes of the O.T.'s. These musical outcasts have difficulty in following even such simple tunes as: Autumn leaves are falling down I Red, brown and yellow, they cover the groundf' Never could one forget the mingled rapture and dread of that first O.T. lesson. Don't tell me, began the instructor, that you can't sing! Why everybody can sing! 'tNot I, came the reply-hopelessly, yet fully hopeful. Come to the piano and try a few notes of 'God Save The King' . Bravely came those quavering notes and encouragingly quoth the musician, Fine! Fine! Of the four notes in that measure you sang four flat notes. Let's try 'Happy Faces'! One! Two! Three!-Sing! Another deep breath, with the look of a cornered animal, the pupil emitted those pitiful 'doh soh's'! Sing Higher! Higher! Higher! Stand on your tip toe! Higher! As I pull your hair, sing higher! Higher! Higher! Ouch! cried the O.T., hitting three Hat notes, higher than the piano keyboard. t'Ouch! Ouch! Oh! Only the ringing of the bell saved that O.T. from complete baldness. How fortunate that Mr. Woodruff had returned at noon that day to test the bell system at 1.05 p.m. There is really nothing like an O,T. class-for either pupil or music instructor! -NORMA DEMPSEY. .

Nearly all of us were strangers in this fair city, yet it was not long before we felt more at home, especially following the reception which the staff held on our behalf on the 24th of September. Passing through the receiving line, composed of the staff members and their wives, we then assembled in the auditorium where Mr. Copp, our Principal, on behalf of the staff, officially welcomed us to Peterborough Normal School. We received also words of welcome from Mrs. Ovens, who brought greetings to us from her husband, Mayor Ovens. In her pleasing manner, Mrs. Ovens, a former graduate of P.N.S., wished us every success in the year that lay ahead, and hoped that we would enjoy our stay in the city of Peterborough. The special speaker of the afternoon was the Rev. I. Morgan, of Murray Street Baptist Church. In his address, he told us of the responsibilities we must face as teachers. To face these we must be persevering and industrious. At the conclusion of this talk we no longer felt our task ahead a trivial one, but one in which we must try to do our best at all tirnes. The program concluded with a vocal solo by Miss M. Alexander. accompanied by Mr. Charles Allen, organist of George Street United Church. Miss Johnston as hostess, assisted by a few of the girl students, served refreshments. Tea was poured by Mrs. L. W. Copp and Mrs. F. B. Smitheram. We left the school that afternoon with a feeling that Peterborough was really trying to treat us kindly, and We must try to do our best to make this a happy and successful year. -IRIS HOLLAND. Page Twenty-nine The l'lallovve'en Party HOSTS, goblins, witches, a crow and figures unrecognized, swarmed about the Normal School on Hallowe'en. Through darkened portals, they entered to be greeted by a negro lady. 'Twas as eerie feeling then to grasp the slimy hand of a weird apparition which led guests into the subterranean blackness. Peals of laughter mingled with terrorizing shrieks as along strange passageways one faltered. With deep satisfaction and loud sighs of relief, the familiar Assembly Hall was reached. Strange- ly, everyone did arrive there safely. There, a riotous round of games, amusements and dancing followed in quick succession. What a display of roller skating! The costumes,- how varied! Then the judging came. None other than Conchita was the winner, a modest Joan Cameron taking the honours. The 'tCrow was judged the best men's costume-won by a friend of Doris Fox. As pirates, Mary King and escort took the couple's award. The frolic reached its climax by consuming the products of the Home Economics Department. Don't you remember those baked apples? Thus appeased, at midnightls stroke, the motley spirits vanished leaving only weary bodies and happy hearts to cherish an evening's enjoyment. ---1- -HELEN BURNS. Christmas Party AUSING in the midst of Christmas examinations, the students and friends assembled on the evening of December 17th to enjoy some relaxation in the form of a Yuletide Party. A sing song of Christmas carols led by Blair Hanthorn was much appreciated by all. Games and dances filled in the remainder of the evening with joyous entertainment, topped off by a dainty lunch. Then came the great event of the evening when George Cronk, imper- sonating good old St. Nick, arrived midst a flurry of bells and distributed the gifts from a well-laden Christmas tree. Ross Fleming and John Ryck- man seemed to have considerable trouble unwrapping enormous gift boxes, which, much to the merriment of those viewing the operation, were found to contain one little aspirin. Mr. Smitheram was completely happy with his counting beads. After Santa had departed, the gathering enjoyed a few more dances and then all too soon the evening drew to a close and the students departed in the spirit of 'fPeace on earth, good will towards men. -l -MARION MCGILL. The Sweater Hop E JAPERS! None but the Irish could arrange a sweater hop! What, with the wearing o' green and the lilt of Irish laughter could be finer for St. Patrick's Day in the evening at eight! An Irish bingo started the affair agoing under the direction of a fair colleen behind the piano. Indade, ,twas none other than scourge of the tardy who came late himself. Begorra, whose kitty was Mistaire Copp after feeding? Did you notice he was airly enough for lunch even though some parsimonious Scot attempted to stretch a coo-pon by salting the sugar? No e'en that outrage, nor the odd discordant note could mar the fine celebration of St. Patrick's birth- day. Truly, 'twas a large aivning. Page Thirty The At Home EEKS of preparation slipping by, brought February lflth upon us sooner almost than we had expected. During the last Week, P.N.S. experienced a rejuvenation! The Assembly Hall became a ballroom with coloured streamers and gaily fluttering bluebirds. Dainty dolls and Valentine hearts brightened the walls and Dan Cupid with his arrow was everywhere. From basement to attic no detail was omitted. The Normal School radiated a genuine At Homel, atmosphere. By eight-thirty, the building was filled with students and their guests. Proud parents, fond admirers, and special friends made up a happy, care- free audience of more than five hundred, duly welcomed by Jim Covert and Mr. Copp. For entertainment, the members of the Literary Society under the direction of Messrs. McKinney and Woodruff produced a gay Operetta, The Ghost of Lollypop Bay. So well did each perform his part that no star could be named unless we record the stellar performance of Lillian Osborne, the pianist. The romantic theme of the Operetta enhanced the spirit of the occasion. After a brief flurry backstage the performers joined the audience for dancing, lunch and games. Everywhere seemed the same! Good cheer. gay hearts and merry laughter. Too soon indeed came two o'clock in the morning. The At Home was over. The finery disappeared. But for the students, treasured memories of the gala event of our Normal School Year remain. -ARDEN MCLEAN. The Sleigh Ride g HANKS to the heat generated by pressure of work, operetta rehearsals, and the general rush and push of Normal School year, our very capable Athletic Society decided a cooling off by sleigh ride was the very thing for us. Accordingly, three sleighs witnessed dozens of sweatered and rounded figures bustling out of the rather conservative Normal School one winter's night, and in single file slowly tinkled out towards Well covered roads and piled up drifts. Somewhat crowded, all made themselves reasonably comfortable until one young lady accidentally fell off the sleigh. As if by magic all sleighs were cleared of cargo and the long trek to find a quiet resting place for Weary bodies began. Let us not mention the bodies hurtling through space, the groups of characters waddling and puffing through the snow ,the torn ligaments, the bruised and battered bodies, the dismembered arms and legs tossed into snowbanks. No, let us pass along hurriedly to the drive back home, the sensation of sitting moodily in wet clothes and at last the opportunity of cutting ourselves down to proper size as extra sweaters and Windbreakers and so forth were removed. Our competent Berenice Spencer had all in readiness in the Assembly Hall, and perched comfortably on warm radiators we regained conscious- ness and feeling with lovely tomato soup, food and coffee. So ended an eventful evening, but it really was good fun-something to be missed and remembered in future days. -JOHN RYCKMAN.

Sisters Mary Catherine, Joanna and Winnifred arrive a trifle early, closely pursued by one, Betsy E.. Later, into the upper locker room the rest straggie, with Whadimisit being the most repeated query but Gotta- comb close in second place. By eight-fifty most of Form One totters to the Assembly Hall where they flop into the alto section-an advantage point for nullifying the singers of Form Two. Some brighter ones come armed with zero hymn books. Others overdo this hymn business by having three books each-all of which, says Mr. Mc., indicates counting ability of 1, 2, 3, only. Word flashes around that the leader's group ascends the platform. Up stands Form One to note Phil tripping in at the last moment. She ilings open the Bible and reads the first chapter she sees. Norma D. prepares to announce the hymn but Phil has beaten her to the draw-so the opening hymn follows the prayer. At that, Miss D. thas a cold, itls said! says We'll sing hymn nine-tloud sneezej. Joan plays hymn nine- teen, the class sings number nine. Jessie Cowdy gives the announcements- we hush whilst she shouts- The masters-1---to-morrow. To-morrow-why wonder what the announcement means-to-morrow will be soon enough. Contentedly the school rises to sing The King tfor whom Rae Brownsell was searching--look in South Africa, Rael. Miss Cameron, dreaming of-, plays The Last Round Up but, thanks to the alto's, no one notices the difference. 'Tis amazing how few in Form One know anything cattish, horsish or farmish. M. Alexander, can pretend she's the sun going around the earth,-backwards, of course. As Earth, Teresa C. used such ardour that being overbalanced, to earth she went-boom. Right hand upon the gal in front to the second class Form One troops, singing gaily 'The Ghost ls Dead-The Dear Old Ghost. But up he springs in the form of phonics ttaught, taught again, and re-taughtl. Down the stairs, for a Science of Ed period in the 'Lseats-squeak-here room. Margery, being particularly brilliant, answers all the questions- she went with Marco Polo, you see. The Model form of P.N.S., as is Form One, gallops to the Lecture Hall for Religious Education lectures by Archdeacon Robertson. Two other forms idismissed promptly on the first bell, not some time after the second ringingb are seated in the choicest seats-at the back of the room. Sur- prising how much one learns of ancient times during these periods, once one gets who's fighting who straight, and Joyce's elucidation of every- thing in ye olde locker room! Thursday-the day of enormous dinners consumed! To P.N.S., Form One troops to start the afternoon by making curdled eggs. Too much salt. too much butter CU, too much milk, but with a ration of one egg to two nit-wits, too much egg is impossible. Some members try for a double share. Others are satisfied with none. The Browns set down to steady eating, the rest say grace and down the hatch goes egg and all. Meanwhile the B group glues a book in rare fine style. Not only did Faircloth's pages refuse to come unglued-they would not open either. A group exchanges places then with B-no unwashed dishes left behind. Their proudest feat thereafter is a further glueing and messing of the nether regions of ye Ancestral Halls. Comes four o'clock-up goes the roof, and down, as Form One is Page Thirty-five released to the locker room. Favourite phrase now is Whathomeworkau- got '? unvaried answer returns dying, dying dying, Iain'tgotnone. To Harrison's in great glee they scamper, there to spend pittances, and to discuss the world in general but Forrn One in particular. The real day is now but dawning-don't let the Masters know. -JEAN CAVERLY. Mr. Copp: Whatls that I smell on your clothes? Joan Faircloth: That's fertilizer. Mr. Copp: f'For land's sake. Joan Faircloth: That's right, sir.' The 49'ers Friends and acquaintances, would you care to meet The four Norrnalites from Wolsey Street? Well, here we are, our tale to tell, E'en though it may not sound too well. 1 Who is the girl with the light blonde hair, Who seldom refuses to take a dare? Marie Badgley is the little miss Who lives and grows on telephone bliss. Of course there is always a clown in the crowd And of this one Beaverton is proud. Helen Burns is the name of this lass so gay, Who finds time for both work and play. Jean Conklin hails from the county Prince Ed, The county of counties, so we've heard said. This pal of ours is a quiet soul, Who always will attain her goal. And now we come to the last but not least- Georgie Huffman from Corbyville, down east. She keeps us chuckful of mirth and good cheer, Of her, pupils will have no need to fear. This quartet, so joyous and gay, Is loathe to leave 49 in May.

The baritone Sinatra of our form, who is said to have an interest on Conger Street. Slightly misleading name. Definitely not Rusty when it comes to girls. The tallest man for boyj in the form. Interested in Bethany-skiing, no doubt. Our capable Pres. of the Red Cross. He can really tickle the 88's. How long can the blarney last? Has Miss Bennett the cure? Representative from Dartfork. Though studying for a teacher, his real love is the land. Apparently, Arden, satisfying the embers of love is no excuse for being marooned in Campbellford for two days. That melodic voice seems to have a far-reaching effect . . . even as far as Napanee, maybe. Holds the title of being the shortest man in the form. It is rumoured that a member of Form I has the Dropfel on him. Y Red hair doesn't mean a thing. Rusty is the best natured guy in the form. A certain red head in Form II has gone overboard for this tall, dark, handsome man about town. An O.T. when he started to Normal, but Norma put him on the beam. Such a powerful voice that even the elements of electricity could not withstand. Stirling's representative and really a sterling character. A conscientious worker, who seems to be extreme- ly interested in the ballet creations of a certain Normalite. With that guitar and hair, Austin ought to do all right for himself . . . when he gets a little older. Runner up to Munroe for shortest-man title, but a certain party at 746 has no objection to that. The minister had preached for an hour and a quarter on the prophets . . all the greater prophets and then the minor ones in turn. Now We come to Habakkuk, he said. Where shall we put him?

Too little time to enjoy the master- pieces-unable to locate Mr. McKinney's handiwork here. Perhaps Messrs. W. and S. found it in the Primary Department, downstairs! Phew!

That Summer Session, like all others held since, was arranged especially for teachers. Commencing in 1916 the University has arranged as well for late afternoon, evening, and Saturday classes for teachers. Since 1920, more than 800 Ontario teachers, by attending either the Summer Session or Teachers' Classes, or both, have graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Correspondence preparation is provided for those who propose to attend the Summer Session. Examinations are held in May and in August.
