DR. F.L. BATES PRINCIPAL SASKATCHEWAN TEACHERS’ COLLEGE REGINA When the last student of the 1963-64 class walks down the steps for the final time, an era in teacher edu¬ cation in Regina comes to a close. That student is the last of a long, long line of students to graduate from this Teachers ' College. It has been a somewhat itinerant College located in several buildings and spots in Southern Saskatchewan. Its graduates, too, have travelled, often far in a physical sense and many, far in the professional or other occupational worlds. In the minds and hearts of many of us there will be an extra feeling of sadness at your parting. We are sorry to see you go and sorry to see the end of the Teachers ' College. But the end of one era in teacher education marks the beginning of another. The old building will still be in the business of teacher education as part of the Uni¬ versity of Saskatchewan, Regina Campus. There is stimulus in the challenge of the beginnings of a new venture in teacher education. We are inspired by the experiences of the past and the hopes for the future to face the challenge with some feelings of excitement. There is a parallel situation in the lives of the students going from Teachers ' College. Most of you are leaving a sheltered existence for the stimulating, challenging work of teaching in a classroom. We hope you will be nostalgic and somewhat saddened by the parting from friends at Teachers ' College. We also hope you have profited from your Teachers ' College experiences so that you can meet your challenges with ability and with confidence. This has been a delightful group of people to have in the final year of the Teachers’ College. Your Year¬ book provides the opportunity for you to reflect upon the year ' s activities. You have had a lively and a busy life here. You served yourselves and your College with distinction. In general, we enjoyed watching and help¬ ing the students in the variety of things that students do to make a College year memorable and profitable both individually and collectively. Not all the dimensions of teacher education tend to appear in a Yearbook. We hope that some of these dimensions have appeared with considerable force in the program of the year. Two, in particular, readily come to mind. We trust that interest in learning and scholarship have been stimulated so that this dimension becomes a permanent quality of you as teachers and as citizens. And we hope that you have become, or are now able to become, sensitive to and perceptive of the needs of children in this society. Without these qualities of mind and spirit there are dreary years of teaching ahead of you. This we do not predict. You are leaving us with the impression of a group who will enrich and enliven the teaching profession. On behalf of the Faculty I wish all of you success and a long life of good teaching.

PRESIDENT Our year of training here at Teachers’ College fast draws to a close. With our departure another page will turn in the history of education in Saskatchewan, for we are the last graduating class of our institution as such. By graduating as the last graduates of Teachers’ College we gain the right to teach; however, we also accept a responsibility. We accept a responsibility to the youth we will be teaching and also to society. We should be honour bound to set a moral and academic example for our pupils. We must be prepared to guide our pupils in their formative years. The importance of education, and indirectly our importance, is great, as was pointed out by the theme of this year’s Education Week, Education, the measure of a nation. The children of today are the leaders of tomorrow’s society; therefore, we are challenged to help maintain a suitable and ef¬ fective standard of education. Teaching is an honoured and important profession. Let us enter it humbly, and do our utmost to maintain its high standards. Earl Brown President
