ViMcfibh ofr TeadveAy ITlCUAAuMj. ' Dh. J. UJ. ‘Taitr oo are the largest class of graduates in teacher education In the history of Saskatchewan. You have figuratively sat for a year at the feet of a competent group of master teachers. It is interesting to speculate how great will be your Impact on the history of this Province, ffot long ago, I saw the Yearbook of the class of 1907 and In reviewing the names of the graduates, I was amazed to note how many of them became prominent in the life of Saskatchewan and, In some cases, the other Provinces of Canada. I mention this because I wish to call to your attention the fact that you have had a good start. The profession which you have chosen is by far the one In which you can make the greatest contri¬ bution to the present and the future. However, you have just begun. Local, national and world society Is changing at almost a terrific pace. Your choice for success and Ieadershlp in this changing world will depend in large measure on the degree to which you improve your qualifications, submit to personal sacrifice to meet the challenges which will most certainly confront you and face courageously the unexplored frontiers which are already appearing on the educational horizon. As you go forth to your various schools In Saskatchewan, my good wishes will follow you. It Is my hope that you will be ambitious, hard-working and dedicated to the development of child¬ hood and the good of the communities which you serve. Perhaps, in another fifty years, some fu¬ ture Di rector of Teacher Training will review the Yearbook of 1962 and be amazed at the size of the contribution made by the class of 1962 to their generation and to the welfare of their Province and their Country.

JAomWv ofc Sduirifiato The Uou ouAcubfo 0 .A. TuamJjM £ am happy to have this opportunity to greet the 1962 graduates of Teachers’ College, Regina. Only a few months ago you were students and now you leave as teachers, Past fall you knew one side of the teaching-learning process and now you have had a look at the other side of the coin. Purlng your time as teachers In training you have, 1 know, learned much about the philosophy of education and the techniques of teaching. In addition, and perhaps, even more Important, you have matured as people by getting an Insight Into the needs of the child, the community, and society. I hope that you want to go on developing this Insight because It will lead to a real understanding of your fellow man. To pursue this thought a little further, I believe that under¬ standing will eventually lead to sympathy and that sympathy will engender charity, the greatest of the virtues. You are going Into a profession which will demand your best not as a lonely individual on the edge of civilization but as a member of a team, flever forget that pupils, parents, fellow teachers, and superintendents will be on your side If you want them enough to value the Indi¬ vidual pupil above all else and to devote all of your ability and energy to the job at hand. I wish each graduate success and happiness in the noble profession you have chosen. O.A. TURNBULL.

Yeats. M embers of our staff hope that in future, when you look back over the year you spent at Teachers’ College, you will consider it one of the happiest and most productive in your lives. We have enjoyed our association with you during this past year. Working with such a happy band of warriors has helped to keep us young in spirit. ,A former principal once said to the students of his day, You chat so affably; you sing so heartily; you smile so convincingly; you respond so eagerly. I would add: When you converge upon and Into the College building, 700 strong, it feels like of breath of Spring! We trust that the contacts with the members of our staff have Increased your awareness of the Importance of teaching as a profession, [s your Instructors we have worked diligently to provide an environment conducive to your continued growth and development. In countless ways you have shown that you have appreciated our efforts.
