Principal Ehitnrial N the dedication poem for the Memorial XVindow are these lines: HThough I be unmarked bi the years, Hence forth l am old as the world. Although this is only the end ol' the thirteenth session of this school, there is an increasing number of graduates coming to occupy prominent places in the activities ol' the world-in education, in music, and in business. The success of our graduates stimulates us to greater eliiort and should inspire each student going out from this school to achieve equal or greater success. Never were so many opportunities waiting to be seized -Education is broadening out every year and is calling for more highly trained workers. XYhal will this class of students accomplish? The training received here is only a beginning for the real training of actual teaching In order to succeed there is need of constant study, especially as methods of teaching and testing are changing noticeably from year to year. True satisfaction is found in constant progress toward a distant goal. S. SI LCUX, Principal Page Four THE CLASSIC june 1921 H. G. MARTYN, B.A. Strive and thrive. ABrowning.

HE Society was organized early in the year and the planning of programmes and social functions at once begun. The latter at first took the form of games and afternoon teas on the school grounds, followed by the Hallowe'en Masquerade. Other social events during the year were the Christmas Eve programme at which Santa Claus officiated and the At Home. june 1921 THE CLASSIC Page Nine A Debating Contest which proved both interesting and profitable was begun. The winners were Miss bl. Lawrence and Miss J. Love of Form III, in recognition of which the members of Form III were presented with a box of chocolates. The banquet in honor of the Form which produced the best number of the Classic was won by Formll. Their subject was, Intelligence Tests . Special contributors to the regular Literary program- mes were the Minister of Education and Hon. Peter Smith of Stratford., both of whom addressed the Literary Societyg Miss McKee, a graduate of the S. N. S., who gave a de- monstration of the use of the grafonola in the schoolg and Mrs. Curtis who addressed the Society on the subject The School and the Home. The members of the staff contributed generously to the Literary programmes and on one occasion provided the whole programme, after which the students were the guests of Miss McNally, who served afternoon tea. Each Form was held responsible for one special enter- tainment during the year. To these the public were in- vited and several very enjoyable evenings were thus spent. Form III led with a varied programme consisting of several musical selections and a short play entitled The Minister's Bride. Form IV followed with an educational pageant The Light. Form I the play Hiawatha, Form V The Brown Mouse and Form II Diamonds and Hearts. Owing to the time and preparation required for these entertainments the customary annual concert in the City Hall was not held. But Bliss Carman's services were secured and on the evening of Empire Day a recital was given by him in the City Hall under the auspices of the Normal School. The proceeds were devoted to the Sick Benefit Fund and other worthy causes. On April 22nd the boys' and girls' basketball teams and a number of our students were entertained by the London Normal School students As the return game was played in Stratford a number of London students were entertained here on May 6th. May 24th being a holiday our students grasped this opportunity of visiting the Ontario Agricultural College and MacDonald Institute in Guelph. The formal closing was held on the school grounds on june 3rd, Miss jean Lennox delivering the valedictory. VIOLET KILPATRICK. OUR SCHOOL SONG. Tune: john Brown's Body. On the bank of the Avon, 'mid the pine trees tall and dark, VVith broad green lawn and terrace, stands the big school in the park, Loved of many graduates, who now have made their mark. And we all love her too. Chorus: Glory, glory, shout we Stratford Nor1nal's worth. Glory to the pedagogues that she is sending forth, May they be the honor and the pride of the earth And triumph as they go. Come we from Perth County and from Huron and from Grey, From fertile farms and busy towns and cities far away To learn to teach the young idea, to study and to play At Stratford Normal School. Page Ten THE Athleiira 15213-21 HE quality of social efficiency is measured by its three factors, character, intelligence and initiative. Thus the school training falls under three heads, the training of the hand, the heart and the mind. The advantages of association suggest the union of these three aims as closely and effectively as possible and in no other school activity are these so perfectly blended as in good, pure, wholesome games. XN'e firmly believe that the superior stamina of the Stratford Normalites can be traced to their hearty indul- gence in sports. Early in the school year volley ball teams were or- ganized and several games were enjoyed during the sunny autumn days. Before the sun swung far south Form V launched a very successful held day. Friday afternoon was devoted to games, after which the would-be cooks reached the hearts of the boys via their stomachs. Their keen desire to help wash the dishes gave proof of this. The challenge to a tug-of-war with the collegiate was accepted and of course the Normalites won. However, both the girls' and boys' relay races were lost to the Collegiate. Our splendid football team swept all before them defeating the Collegiate by a score of 2-U. During the frosty spell our boys and girls chased the puck around the ice. The boys were defeated by both the Collegiate team, and the Normal girls. The boys' line-up was as follows: Centre, Mcl.ennang left wing, Mcl.ay3 right wing, Rennieg defence Campbell and Veitch, goal Schenck, subs., Hyde and Craig. The girls who played CLASSIC june 1921 were: centre. Miss Jacky right and left wings, Misses Wfatson and Porticeg defence, Misses Vl'alton and Hutton: goal Miss Hembly. The London Normal challenge to home-and-home games of basketball was accepted and two capable teams were chosen. The girls played girls' basketball in London and boys' basketball in Stratford. The girls' teams were, in London centre, Miss C. Hollister, Capt., Forwards, Misses McDermott and Sparling: Defence, Misses C. Seltzer and Mcllveeng subs. Misses Draper, Eaton and Park. In Stratford, Miss Hollister played centre, Misses Stirling and McDermott were forwards, Misses Todd and Mcllveen defence, and Misses jack, Goodyear, Burgess and Eaton, subs. The boys' team was: centre, Campbellg forwards McLay and Hyde: defence Rennie and Veitchgsub., Craig. In London both the Stratford teams were at a dis- advantage owing to the non-compliance with the regula- tions re height of baskets. The girls also were LIHLICCLIS- tomed to playing girls' basketball. Both games were lost to London. Affairs took a decided turn with the return games in Stratford which were played in the Y. M. C. A. gym. The Stratford girls won by a score of 13-12. How' ever, the London boys' team was too Tony for us, the score being 28-24 for London. A.

T was with a feeling of intense fervour and anticipation that we many eager-eyed students wended our way for the first time last September up the well-beaten path to the Normal School. Many were the joys and many the sorrows that lay ahead. But with the former alone were all our minds occupied. Of the one hundred and ninety-nine who registered the first week fourteen were boys. Shortly afterwards one boy left and it seemed for a time that this thirteenth Normal class was surely doomed. However. at Christmas one more left and two new ones arrived in the persons of Captain IJ. fampbell anfl Lieutenant R. XY. Veitch. The first social event of the year took the form of an informal tea held on the lawn. Many of our best friend- ships date from that pleasant occasion. Early in the first term we were favored by a visit from the Hon. R. H. Grant, Minister of Education and the Hon. Peter Smith, Provincial Treasurer. Their messages were encouraging and beneficial to all. A very jolly Hallow-e'en party was held in October when many for the first time visited the haunts of the ghosts, the booth of the fortune-teller and many other awe- inspiring resorts peculiar to the occasion. On December thirteenth Santa Claus called at the School on his yearly rounds. Vile were all carried back to our days of youth as the genial old gentleman presented each one with a gift off the huge Christmas tree in the Assembly Hall. The Spring terms too have not been without their social times. In spite of the hovering examination clouds, informal teas, jolly little parties and relaxations of various kinds have been indulged in. Indeed as we look back over the year,we can say, that although of work,there has been a-plenty, yet of pleasant social times we have had a goodly share.

Miss Deitrich was one of the school's most promising students, and her death was felt keenly by all. But we believe, with the poet, that Somewhere out of human view, Whate'er thy hands are set to do, Is wrought with tumult of acclaim. 15 erzfnnalsa URING the school year three of our number were called upon to suffer sad bereavement. Miss Johnston, Librarian, Anna Halpin and Ida Hamilton, two of our students, all lost their fathers by death. Staff and students were one in their feeling of deep sympathy on those sad occasions. Miss Aloysia VVoods of Form V was forced to give up her course in December owing to a very serious illness. A critical operation was necessary but was very successfully performed. She hopes to complete her course at a later time. Mr, Manning wishes me to say that it's a boy. It was thus that Dr. Silcox announced at Assembly on February 2nd the news of the arrival of William Gordon Manning. 'ASO it would seem, he continued, that we are now sure of having at least one male student in attend- ance at Normal twenty years hence. Among those who visited the school in an official capacity during the school year were Mr. Leake, Director CLASSIC Page Twenly-one of Household Science and Manual Trainingg Dr. Morgan, Director of Norman Schools and Dr. Dandeno, Inspector of Elementary Agriculture Classes. Professor McCready also came to us in May to tell us of one of the most important by-products of the war, namely, the junior Red Cross. He pointed out that not only has this wonderful organization the official sanction of both the Ontario and the Dominion Governments, but it has a definite status as an auxiliary to the League of Nations in its aim to better hygienic conditions among the nations. He urged us all to use this organization as a health project in our work in hygiene in the schools. Our esteemed principal had a great honor conferred upon him this year. He is one of the few Canadians who has been elected a Fellow of the Royal Colonial Institute, London, England. We congratulate him and feel proud that we have had as principal an keducationist, whose reputation is evidently not unknown in Great Britain. Uhr Ai El-lump HE annual At Homen of the Stratford Normal School was held on Friday, February the fourth. For several weeks before, the whole school was busy making preparations for the big event. Printed invitations were sent out to friends of the students and to all ex-students. On the night of the At Home, the Normal School was ablaze with light, and everything possible had been done to make the rooms pleasant and comfortable. The walls and doorways were hung with festoons of purple and gold flowers. The lights in the halls were shaded, so that they Page Twenty-two THE might shed a soft light over the occupants of comfortable cosv corners in the halls. Visitors were received on the second floor by the Reception Committee, which consisted of Dr. and Mrs. Silcox, Dr. and Mrs. Emery, the President, Vice-President and Secretary of the Literary Society. A record number of visitors and ex-students were present. Among the visitors wel e the President and the Secretary of the Literary Society of London Normal and the President from Hamilton. The programme for the evening was in two parts. Part I was held in the Assembly Room. The President made an address of welcome to all visitors. Dr. Silcox gave a humorous address, in which he proved to everyone's satisfaction that thirteen is not an unlucky number. The Normal Glee Club, consisting of seventy voices, sang a number of splendid selections during the eveninge XYhen All was Young tlfaust, Gounodl, The Road that Brings Me Home tSquireJ, Starry Night tlfaust. tlounodl and Out Vlfhere the VVest Begins tPhillesl. Miss Inez Bell and Miss Mabel Livingston gave very pleasing recitations. Vocal duets by Miss Agnes Cullis and Mr. C. Maynard of the city were much appreciated. Part II of the programme was held in the Central Hall. It consisted of eight promenades, the music for which was provided by the Salon Urchestra of Stratford. Between promenades, Miss Mildred Eggert sang The Land of My Dreams tBrewerJ and Miss Annie MacArthur sang A Farewell tLiddleJ. During the promenades dainty refreshments were served in the Library, which was beautifully decorated in purple and gold, the Normal colors. CLASSIC june 1921 Before going home, all met together again in the Assembly Room to sing the National Anthem. On the day following, some of the old classes took the opportunity for holding a re-union in the Library of the school. Everyone who was present this year agrees that the Thirteenth At Home was the most successful ever held in the Stratford Normal School. GEORGI NA BURG ESS. TO THE S. N. S.

The Friday morning session opened with an explanation of our Projects by Miss Lennox. The chairman of each committee in Form IV reported on the Wloollen Project and Form I who had Cotton, gave a number of plantation songs in costume. Miss Macdonald's class, tSr. III, Brunswickl explain- ed their UI-Iealth C'rusade, and the rank of Knighthood was conferred on four pupils by Dr. Silcox. The class sang two Crusader songs at the end of their performance. From 10.00-11.00 Inspectors Irwin and Smith of Perth County gave addresses on Beginning work in the Rural Shoolsf' Mr. Irwin said that there are three important factors in beginning the workg the teacher, the pupils and the community. He advised us to take hold right from the lpeginning, to insist on the pupils doing their best work and to concentrate on the recitation lessons. Inspector Smith said that we must first find ourselves and then remember that every man is the part he plays among his fellows. I-Ie also gave us some valuable hints about the Course of Study. Misses liasson, Dixon, VVallis and McLeod, spoke on the Rural School I-Iot Lunch. These teachers are all graduates of the S. N. S. and have been successful in introducing the I-Iot Lunch into their schools. After hearing them there is surely not one of us who will not have the courage to carry on the I-Iot Lunch in our own school. Un Friday afternoon the Hon. Nelson Monteith and Mr. Malcolm MacBeth addressed us on Rural Educational Associations. Both men spoke highly of consolidation. Dr. Hill, Uirector of the Institute of Public Health, Page Twenty-four THE London, spoke on Nutritional Work in the Rural Schools. He stated that 30 percent of the pupils are mal-nourished. He said that in mal-nourished children who are brought to standard, there is an improvement in the pleasure and ease with which the children do their work. Miss Guest of Toronto gave a splendid talk on the relation of VVonien's Institutes to Rural Schools. Miss Guest described a number of ways in which Women's Institutes can be helpful to us. They will gladly aid us in such matters as Travelling Libraries, Health nurses and School Fairs. On Friday evening Form Five put on a play, entitled The Brown Mouse. The story is that of the struggle of a young enthusiastic teacher in an agricultural community who tries to put into practice the theory that education should be a training for living. On Saturday morning, Miss Eisley lead the discussion in Difficulties when beginning to teach Rural Schools. Misses McCully, Holliday and McLeod and Mr. Manning told of some of their difficulties in beginning the work. Mr. Chisholm, Assistant Chief Inspector of Schools for tlntario, spoke on Consolidation, and how to bring it about. Tliere are already fourteen consolidated schools in Ontario. Mr. Chisholm stated the interesting fact that it is possible to obtain Government grants for consolidation purposes up to Sl QJPUO. At intervals during the conference we sang our school song and a number of others. Misses MacArthur, Eggert, Yeandle and Schineman sang solos which were much appreciated. The conference was a decided success and a resolution was passed unanimously at the last session, expressing this conviction and suggesting that a third conference be held next year.

Throughout the year, Miss McNally has endeavoured to give us instuctions in the latest methods of teaching. She has been kind, thoughtful, and sym- pathetic, in her capacity as our Dean. In getting us homes and looking after our comforts, she has showed her deep interest in us at all times. ln addition to this, she hasbeen a great help and inspiration to us in planning our Literary programmes. Throughout the whole year, she has been our trusted friend Cfor we think of her as suchj and adviser. Thy soul must overtlow, if thou Another soul wouldst reachg It needs the overtlow of heart To give the lips full speech. Think truly, and thy thoughts Shall the world's famine feed: Speak truly, and each work of thine Shall be a fruitful seed: Live truly, and thy life shall be A great and noble creed. HORATIO BONAR. The entire object of true education is to make people not merely do the' right things but enjoy them-not merely industrious but to love industry-not merely learned, but to love knowledge-not merely pure, but to love purity- not merely just, but to hunger and thirst after justice. JOHN RUSKIN. Halehirinrg Deem not the irrevocable past As wholly wasted, wholly vain lf rising on its wrecks at last To something nobler we attain. A EARS ago these words were written by the pm-1 l,ongfellow, and just at this time it is fitting for Us to cast a backward glance over the past months, and briefly review a few of the events which have marked our year at Normal. Although we are the thirteenth class, we have been a very fortunate one in many respects. :Xt the very be- ginning of our term as student teachers we were privileged to hear our Minister of Education, Hon. Mr. Grant. His address to us upon live educational movements of today was a great inspiration, and we are leaving the training school feeling that we have a staunch and earnest friend, who will be ready and willing to co-operate heartily with us in our problems. Again Fortune especially favored our thirteenth class, for no other year has had the opportunity of seeing the actual working out of the project method of teaching as we have. We all feel that there are great possibilities in this plan, and we are looking forward to a time when the school libraries will be so supplemented, our curriculum and class- room conditions so adjusted that in all elementary schools, Page Twenly-eight THE CLASSIC june 1921 rural and urban, the project system will be established and the children will be actively and interestedly planning and solving their own problems. XVe must see to it that we make it our problem to hasten and to encourage the coming of this day. Nor must we forget to mention the advantages we have derived from a plan of practice teaching which is very much in advance of the system of previous years. Through it we have gained a knowledge of the regular routine of the classroom, and as usual, the Stratford school, our Alma Mater, was the first to give its students this opportunity But, by far the most pleasant feature of the year has been the fellowship and inspiration we have enjoyed among our classmates. In no circumstances could we have better opportunity to make new and true friends than in the classroom, and although these friends must now part, never to meet again as a class of Normal students, still in our sadness there is a note of satisfaction. For was it not the hope of a greater life which prompted us in the first instance to spend a year in preparation for our great pro- fession,and are not these hopes now a little clearer, and a little nearer realization? Not that our preparation is over, for possibly the greatest part of our training will come in the next year,but our vague hopes of a year ago have become lofty and in- spiring ideals, and to these ideals we shall strive to attain, We have all pictured in our own minds the school of to- morrow-the ideal school. VVhat is to be our part in making this school a reality? But we must not forget that we can best do our share by conscientiously and earnestly attending to the details of our work, for we remember with Michael Angelo that- Trifles make perfection And perfection is no trifle. There will be much routine and many small duties for us to master, but although we shall often be lonesome for our Normal friends, and often wish for the assistance and advice of our teachers, yet, let us not be discouraged, but in times of difficulty may we still see our ideal gleaming before us and may we Hold fast to the highest ideals that float across our vision in moments of exaltationf' JEAN LENNOX.

H. GRANT Toronto, May 29th, 1922. Dear Students : As you have completed your Normal training and are about to embark on your professional career, I extend to you my hearty congratulations and sincere wishes for your future success. One of the lessons we have learned from the great war, so happily ended in our favour, is the value of being prepared to meet any emergency that may suddenly con- front us. The gigantic task that faces the world to-day is reconstruction. You will be called upon to do your share in this great undertaking and I know of no better way than by inculcating in the minds of our children the appreciation and value of education. It will be your privilege to prepare the children of to-day for future citi- zenship, and it is of the greatest importance that the youth of our Province should be adequately equipped to take their full share in the work for the betterment of the world. Let it be your aim, therefore, to become so ellicient in your chosen profession that you will be able to impress your scholars with a proper appreciation of the instruc- tion and training provided for them in order to take their rightful part in the upbuilding and progress of our country. Yours sincerely, R. H. GRANT, Minister of Education. Page Four THE CLASSIC June 1922 X. S. SILCOX, B.A., D. Paed. Principal lihiturizxl There never was a more wonderful age than this one. A year now furnishes as much as a cycle of Cathay produced in times past. And yet, we have but touched the fringe of the mysteries of the universe. The members of this class will have experienced the strange sensation of sitting in the Normal Assembly l-lall and listening to performers in Detroit, Pittsburg, or Schenectady. ln another year, the imperfections of the radiophone will have been overcome. By that time progress will have been made in visualizing as well as hearing the performers hundreds of miles away. lndeecl, the announcement of 'iwireless movies has already been made. The-remarkable fact is the suddenness of modern de- velopments. ln order to participate in these sudden de- velopments we need a much greater power of adjust- ment than formerlyg otherwise these wonderful develop- ments will not be for us. The world is not moving too fast if we keep up with the movement. The rate of ro- tation of nearly one thousand miles an hour is imper- ceptible because we are moving at the same rate as all other parts of the earth. So, if we keep up with modern developments there will be no confusion of ideasg but, if not, there will be 'iconfusion worse confounded. The teacher is an important factor in developing this neces- sary power of adjustment. S. SILCOX, Principal. June 1922 NIE CLASSIC Page Fwe Qbhiiuarg The closing Weeks of the session were saddened by the illness and death of our highly esteemed mathematical master. John William Forbes was a native of the rural community of Brocksden in Perth County. His educa- tion was received at the local public school, the Stratford Collegiate Institute, and the University of Toronto, from which he graduated in l895. His life has been devoted to the profession of teaching, his experience being both wide and varied. Beginning as a teacher in the rural schools of his native county, he later held responsible positions in the High Schools of Vienna, Streetsville, Weston and Brockville. ln l9l4 he became mathe- matical master of the Ottawa Normal School and was transferred to a similar position in the Stratford Normal School in l 920. During his two years on the staff of this school Mr. Forbes endeared himself to pupils and colleagues by his earnestness and effectiveness as a teacher and his genial friendliness of manner and buoyancy of spirits, maintain- ed often under extreme physical suffering. Ontario can ill afford the loss of a teacher possessing such qualities of mind and heart as those displayed by our departed friend. To live then thus: not to cherish far-off designs, or to plan life too eagerlyg but to do what is given us to do as carefully as we can: to take gratefully the joys of lifeg to take its pains hopefully, always turning our hearts to the great and merciful Heart above us, which a thousand times over turns out to be more tender and pitiful than we had dared to hope.

A little later Miss E. M. Everson, of Oshawa, was appointed to this position. Miss E.verson's work throughout the year has proven the selection to be a good one, for she has quickly adapted herself to the demands of the po-sition and has rendered excellent service in the school. Miss Everson had some years' experience in teaching in the public school and holds a permanent First Class certificate. She is a Normal graduate, in Household Science, of the University of Toronto, with Specialist standing. Since graduating Miss Everson has taught Household Science in Hamilton, Ont., and in Moose Jaw, Sask. Previous to coming to Stratford she was for some years director of Household Science in the public schools and the Collegiate lnstitute in Fort William, Ont. In addition to her academic and professional qualifi- cations, Miss Everson possesses personal qualities which make her well fitted for her work among the girls of our school. It is with regret that we record the passing away of Mrs. Mclntosh, mother of our esteemed Secretary, at the ripe age of 76 years. Mrs. Mclntosh was one of the pioneers of Oxford County and lived an active and useful and honorable career. Page Ten THE CLASSIC June 1922 Qlhv lgrartirv Svrhnnln' 5122155 Romeo School. MR. G. W.

The Critic Teacher. ' TEACHERS EXCHANGE. Stratford was fortunate this year in sharing in the exchange of teachers. Misses B. Eidt and A. MacDon- ald have spent the year teaching in English schools, while Miss E. M. Saunders and Miss Foster came to our schools from England, and have given fine service here. This exchange of teachers from year to year should lead to a better understanding between the parts of our Em- pire and to better work in the schools. ln future all ar- rangements for exchanges of teachers will be made by the Overseas Education League, of which Major Ney, Winnipeg, is Secretary. Miss E. Wilson of Romeo School, is already selected for exchange this summer. l-low many of this year's students will have the good fortune to be sent to England in the years to come? June 1.922 THE CLASSIC Page Eleven FIRST PRINCIPAL PASSES. On Sunday, April 30th, Mr. W. H. Elliott, B.A., First Principal of the Stratford Norrnal School, passed away at his home in Toronto, where he has been Inspector of Schools for the past thirteen years. I-lis passing removes from educational circles a man of unusual ability and character. Dr. Silcox, who succeeded Mr. Elliott as Principal in Dec., I908, pays this tribute to the depart- ed: As a classmate of Mr. Elliott in the Toronto Normal School and as a member of the Toronto Normal Staff with him in l907-08, I speak feelingly of his worth as a teacher and regret exceedingly his premature death. As a Normal student he was an attractive, likeable, and su- perior young man, standing next to the medallist of his year at the final examination. As a Normal teacher he was energetic and inspiring. I-Ie taught as one who real- ly loved his work. As an Inspector, he was equally earnest. Few teachers in Canada could command the attention, respect, and affection of their students as Mr. Elliott could. Teaching is a more highly respected pro- fession as a result of his services. I-Iis spirit will remain with us. ' THE UTIVIOST FOR THE HIGHEST The young men of the Stratford Normal School were very fortunate in hearing one of Ontario's most worthy public servants. On April 26th, l922, Mr. A. W. Beall. lVI.A., the Department of Education Lecturer on Eugenics and Personal Hygiene in High and Public Schools, gave us two most timely and helpful addresses. The one sublimely worthy purpose of all education. he pointed out, the purpose the most satisfying, the most patriotic and most inspiring, is the training of the young for parenthood. This problem seems to weigh heavily upon lVIr. Beall's heart, though, as he said, it should not, if parents instructed their children properly. lVIr. Beall has a message bearing on this vital subject which he de- livers most beautifully, strongly, faithfully and reverent- ly. Never for a moment does he allow his hearers to lose sight ofthe fact that he is dealing with sacred things. I-Ie constantly emphasizes the fact that the body is a I-Ioly Temple in which dwells the soul, and nothing that defiles must enter therein. lVIr. BealI's lecture was divided into two parts, funda- mental and final. In the former the basic principles are laid clown, these are wonderfully given, beautifully il- lustrated, and most thoroughly instilled and grounded. The hnal part of the lecture dealt with sex problems as they relate to boys. Mr. Beall's teaching is thorough and scientific. One is uplifted by his extraordinarily consecrated personality. No one can truly listen to his message Without catching a glimpse of the I-Iills of God. We believe that these lectures should be given to every Normal class in the province, and to be more effective should be given as early in the session as pos- sible. As teachers we should try to arrange for Mr. Beall to visit our schools next year. I-Ie is glad to come on an invitation from the teacher and the school board and on the assurance that a welcome awaits him. We know that much good will result, and that many of our boys and girls will catch a vision of the meaning of Tennyson's message when he said: i'Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control, These three alone lead life to sovereign power.

It proved to be one of the most interesting and instructive features of the school life. Throughout its meetings a fine spirit of co-operation was manifested. Those tak- ing an active part were amply repaid by the excellent training derived thereby. One of the most pleasing features during the fall term was the introduction of Afternoon Teas, at which the students learned to know one another. These were fol- lowed by the i-lallowe'en masquerade and the regular weekly programmes consisting of songs, readings, plays, recitations, dances and music. The second term in no Way fell short of the first. Each Form contributed a programme in turn. So well were they presented by all that special note would be unjust. The outstanding features of this term were Skating Party, the Annual At-Home, Sketches from Dickens by Dr. Emery, St. Patrick's Afternoon, Gymnastics by Miss Cottle, talks on various subjects by Dr. Silcox, a health play by pupils of Miss MacNichol's class, Lecture by Dr. Sinclair on ul. Q.'s of Abnormal Pupils and in interest- ing address by Nliss Saunders on the Schools of London, England. lnter-Form receptions were held, at which many good old games were revived, causing those par- ticipating to feel that Masters and Students were all present for the common end, namely, to be helpmates at work or at play. During the third term an lnter-Form prcgramme contest was introduced which was keenly contested, much to the pleasure of all. The Shakespear- ian play, entitled, The Comedy of Errors, staged by two distinct casts in the city hall, gave the students an excellent opportunity of becoming acquainted with one of the greatest of comedies. A. J. STEWART. June 1922 THE CLASSIC Page Thiftffll Uhr limninn Ai-Mums What a jolly time eight hundred of us enjoyed as we met together for the At-Home on the evening of Febru- ary 3rd, l922. The function was quite unique in that it was a reunion of the students of former years. One of the most pleasing features was that graduates were present from every year since its opening in l908. It was an 'iAt-Horne in every respect, richly blessed with that desirable feeling-sociability. Upon entering the Assembly Hall the guests were received by the Staff and the Officers of the Literary Society. Soon the seat- ing capacity was overtaxed, and all the available stand- ing space occupied. The graduates from each year sat in groups marked by a banner bearing the year. Dur- ing the evening's programme Dr. Silcox requested the graduates of each class in turn to stand. It was one un- broken chain of classes, every year being represented. Attractive hangings and festoons of purple and gold, about the Hall, served as an appropriate reminder to the ex-students that they were home again. The programme was an excellent one. It was divided into two parts, the first an entertainment by music and elocutionary artists, the last part consisting of promen- ades and lunch. One ofthe most gratifying features about the programme was that with one exception the entertainers were all graduates of the Normal School. Those who took part were-Miss Ethel McKee of the class of l9l0-l l, Miss Della Kaiser of l9l7-l8, Miss Robena Knight, a graduate of 191 l-l2, now soloist in Parkdale Presbyterian Church, Toronto, Miss Rosa E. Tuck, of l9I 7-18, soloist in Trinity Church, St. Thomas. Mr. George A. Steer of London, although not a gradu- ate of the school, entertained the audience with his clever recitations. Dr. M. McCutcheon, Civil Service Com- missioner for Ontario, gave a brief address. Dr. Mc- Cutcheon taught in the Normal School for six years after its opening in 1908. The Glee Club under the skilful direction of Mr. Bottomley, A.R.C.O., also delighted the audience with its numbers. The accompanist was Miss Edna Lupton, while Mr. H. Vivian played the violin obligatos. The success of the event was due to the Literary So- ciety and the following committees- Reception Committee-The Members of the Staff and their wives, the President of the Literary Society, Mr. Harold Elborng the Secretary, Miss Reta Kers- lake.

Page Fourteen THE CLASSIC June 1922 ilivuninn Eanqnvt A most interesting event took place on February 4th, 1922, when about one hundred and sixty graduates and members of the Staff gathered in the basement of Knox Church for a Reunion Banquet. After lunch was partaken of Dr. Silcox introduced the ex-members of the Staff, Dr. McCutcheon, Mr. H. S. Robertson, and Miss McNally, who all in turn gave short addresses. Following these speeches, each year was called upon and a representative from each respond- ed. The members of the Staff were also called upon. Two very interesting matters were decided at this banquet. Those present resolved to make the Reunion Banquet an annual affair. ln addition, secretaries were appointed for each year, to get in touch with the stud- ents of their own particular years so that it could be de- cided whether an annual reunion picnic on July lst would be feasible. At four o'clock the assembly 'broke up with the sing- ing of Auld Lang Synef' and the singing of For I-le's a jolly Good Fellow by the graduates in honor of Dr. Silcox. ' FLORENCE M. I-IALLADAY. And now abideth preparation, determination, work, these threeg but the greatest of these is workf' Uhr Stnhvntn' Glnunril The key-note of our present Educational System is self-government. By this we mean that a group of students elected by the school may make any rules which are necessary and deal with offences as they occur. The teacher has power to veto any improper measures passed by the students, but so seldom is any interference necessary that the teacher's power is merely nominal. ln order that the teachers-in-training might see such a system in practical operation and might have the best possible government throughout the year, a Students' Council was formed in September. This body consisted of twelve students, six of whom were appointed by the Staff, the remaining six being elected by the students. ln this way a most capable body was formed. To the credit of our School be it said that we have had practically no need of our Students' Council to deal with serious offences, as they were very infrequent. Whenever other problems arose to be considered by the Council they were dealt with in a most satisfactory way. As a result of such a system the graduates leave the school with a knowledge of how self-government may be secured and the results which may be obtained. As teachers they will know how to keep a Students' Coun- cil in working order and under their control in their own schools. ' The following were the members of the Students' Council for the year: Misses Archer, Bain, Kerslake, Hess, N. McLennan, lVlacC1illivray, H. Smith, Stoneman, Messrs.

As a Normal School, we, too, adopted this scheme at the beginning of the year. One student was elected from each Form, making a committee of five, to organ- ize a system of rendering assistance to those who might be put to heavy expense through illness. A satisfactory system was worked out, the details of which need not be given here. Each student who wish- ed to insure himself paid a small fee. From this fund aid was rendered to those who were unfortunate enough to be ill, in proportion to the amount of their bills. When- ever the funds began to run low further contributions were made by the students. By this means no one had large bills to pay and it meant very little to the rest of the students, while they, too, had the assurance of receiving help in case of need. We think this scheme a very good one and recommend it to other organizations with a large membership. The following were the members of the Sick Benefit Committee: Mildred Alles, Mary Fletcher, Ruth Mont- gomery, l-lildred Willoughby, Wallace Morrison. I-IILDRED WILLOUGHBY. A man is commonly either made or marred for life by the use which he makes of his leisure hour. THE RURAL CONFERENCE. Due to the efforts of Dr. Silcox, the third Rural Con- ference was held in Stratford Normal on Friday, May IZ, l9Z2, Dr. Svilcox acting as chairman. Very interesting and instructive addresses were given during the morning by the following students: Miss Cora Russell, Consolidation , Miss Edna Lupton, The One Room Rural Schoolng Miss Belle McLellan, Com- munity Centresug Mr. Wilton, Recreation in Rural Schoolsnz Miss Hazel Akins, School Gardens. Miss Russell pointed out that while consolidated schools might cost more, yet Education cannot be valued in dollars and cents, and the work which the founders of our educational system began must be continued. I Miss Lupton urged every teacher to have an ideal, and to keep in mind that the boys and girls of to-day make the Canada of to-morrow. Miss McLellan said that if Community Halls were general throughout the province, rural depopulation would not be the vital question it is to-day. lnformation about community halls may be secured by writing to the Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Toronto. Mr. Wilton advised having supervised play for the children, and debating societies for the young men and women of the vicinity, which would form a closer re- lationship between the teachers and the community. Miss Akins showed the benefit of correlating school gardens with other subjects on the curriculum. Miss Laura Cody, of Macdonald l-lall, Guelph, gave an address on Games for Rural Schools. Miss Cottle Page Twenty-Four THE CLASSIC -,Une 1922 assisted Miss Cody with members of her Y.W.C.A. class. Sixteen sweet little maidens marched with tactics, danced the Chimes of Dunkirk and the Shoemaker to music played by Miss Roe. Later, with girls of an older class, outdoor games were illustrated. At noon, a very dainty and appetizing school lunch- eon was provided for the visitors under the direction of Miss Everson and a group of the girls. At l.30, Mrs. McCallum of Shakespeare, gave an account of the work of the Women's lnstitute, an organization of three thousand five hundred women, whose motto is, uiror Home and Country. These or- ganizations occupy an important place in rural commun- ities, and wherever possible the teacher should be asso- ciated with their work. Rev. Mr. Paddon of Milverton, Mr. MacBeth and l-lon. Nelson Monteith spoke on Rural Problems. Mr. Paddon urged that a better relationship be form- ed between the rural and urban districts to bind them more closely together. ln Mr. MacBeth's address he said: Every teacher should teach ideals of greatness, and be part of the great army of teachers who kept the light of the nation alive and burning brightly. l-lon. Nelson Monteith referred to the increasing exodus from rural districts to the larger centres, and ex- pressed the wish that the teachers would encourage and foster community spirit. The next two speakers were young ladies who are taking the Normal course at Macdonald Hall, Guelph. Miss Marjorie Bell pointed out the need for Safety Education among school children, giving illustrations from the spread of contagious diseases and the number of accidents caused by carelessness. Miss Bell suggest- ed teaching the children safety habits by means of games, and the use of everyday examples of carelessness. Miss Marjorie Alexander gave an excellent address on Health Education in Public Schools, and suggested various ways which it might be carried on. To illustrate teaching health habits by rhymes, Miss Patterson's class from Romeo school gave a delightful little Health Play. Mr. Segsworth of Brampton, gave a short talk on the work of the Trustees and Ratepayers' Association. ln the evening Miss McNally gave a most interesting and enlightening address on The Project Method in Rural Schools. By way of illustration, she gave an outline of a project dealing with poetry which one teacher, had carried on very successfully. Moving picture films, The Handicap and The Rural School Fair were shown. Preparation had been made for a Radiophone Concert, but owing to local interference it was not very satisfactory. The Conference was undoubtedly a success, as it brought the needs of the Rural Communities more clear- ly before those who go out to teach there. With such high ideals set before them, these should be teachers who will be of inestimable value to Canada, and an in- fluence of which she can be justly proud. HELEN M. SMITH. June 1922 THE CLASSIC Page Twenty-Five A New Elirnturv For the first time in the history of our school the stud- ents have had as part of their regular work lectures by outside speakers on subjects of interest to teachers-in- training. The class-Stratford 1921-23 Principal-Dr. Silcoxg time-Monday, 3.20 to 4.00 p.m. The stud- ents feel that it has been a great privilege to hear these lectures and trust that future classes of this Normal will share it. Certainly it has emphasized the fact, always apparent, that the staff are doing everything in their power to equip us for this important business of teach- ing. Most of the speakers were brought to Stratford by the Chamber of Commerce, and to them we are greatly indebted. The first address was given on Feb. 6th, when Prof. J. I... Morrison of Queen's University, Kingston, gave an address on What I learned about Education in the War. The others were Mr. W. G. Raymond, M.P., Brantford, on Shakespeare's Heroes, Feb. I3thg Prof. Kingston, Western University, London, on Astronomy fillustrated with lantern slidesl, on March 6thg Dr. C. K. Clarke, Medical Director of the Canadian National Committee for Mental Hygiene, on Intelligence Tests, March 20thg Lieut.-Col. Mclfendrick, Toronto, on Al- lenby's Campaign in Relation to Prophecy, May 8th, and Major F. Ney, Secretary of the National Council of Education, on May I5th. Mr. M. McPhail, Agricul- tural Representative for Perth County, gave an address on March 27th and Miss A. Marshall, graduate of i909- l0, now Public Health Nurse for the city, described her work on March l3th. Sometimes instead of a lecture there were lantern views or moving pictures. These were obtained from the Government at very little cost. They showed the ideal method of teaching certain parts of Geography and proved how interesting subjects can be made by this means. Moving picture machines can be used in rural schools for they can be operated by the battery of a car, and the films may be obtained by writing to the Moving Picture Bureau, Education Department, Rich- mond St., Toronto. And so, when the school in Timbuctoon becomes a reality, and the ordinary everyday problems of teaching confront us, let us not forget the ideals placed before us at the Normal School, and let us show, in a practical way, our appreciation of those periods marked on the Time Table, Assembly Hall. R. L. KNECI-ITEL. SOCIAL EVENTS. I am a part of all that I have met might truly be said by each one of us in relation to the social life this year. The social side of the Stratford Normal student has always been well looked after, and this year a num- ber of special events were arranged for. After the regular Literary meeting on September 30th an informal afternoon tea was held. This was a means of getting the students together and over the cup of tea many new acquaintances were formed, which have ripened into friendships throughout the year. Pagf' Twenty-Six THE CLASSIC June 1922 On the evening of October 3lst a very interesting Halloween party was held. On that occasion many a ghost was seen wandering to the Normal, for the party took the form of a ghost masquerade. A very interest- ing and varied program, appropriate to the evening, was given. Afterwards jolly games were played in the lower halls and many of us had our fortunes told by the expert fortune tellers, who had come to us for the occasion. A dainty luncheon closed the party, and we all went home well pleased with the evening's entertainment. january 20th was also a red letter day. That even- ing a merry skating party was held on the river back of the Normal. After a few pleasant hours spent there, we adjourned to the Assembly Hall of the Normal, where community singing, led by Dr. Silcox, was enjoyed by everyone. An appetizing luncheon was served at the close. On Friday, March l7th, an unusually interesting ses- sion of the Literary Society was held. As it was St. Pat- rick's day, the program was in keeping with lrish tradi- ticn. There were instrumentals, songs and contests. Another interesting feature of the afternoon's program was the presentation by Miss Cottle of the certificates in First Aid to those of us who were successful in the ex- aminations. Refreshments which would please even St. Patrick himself were served at the close. As we go to press, june Znd has been chosen as the day for cur closing party. We are expecting many visit- ors and a good programme is being prepared. There will be the Valedictory address given by Mr. Elborn, and also the crowning of the May Queen. Miss Jean Mc- Intyre is the popular May Queen and her attendants will be Misses Buchanan, Kerslake, Maunders and Willough- by. Interesting and jolly games will be provided and a lunch will be served. Happy to meet, sorry to part, happy to meet again. EDNA A. BROVVNING. ll, ff X 1, . ., W f Y ,AI if f If I ,Myym f I f, I I A17 KWQQVX i - :T ff! 1 .

June 1922 THE S. N. S. SPORTS. ln the fall of '2l when Old Sol still beat down upon the earth, a breathless courier reached the iron gates of the lofty Normal School with a message which read thus :- Normal Knights, Take Notice! The Collegiate- ites hold their annual tournament on the S. C. l. green and do earnestly entreat ye to come and joust with them. So Sir Gad-about and Sir Lanky-lot and Sir Do-Little and Sir Gfelrafilnt and S-ir Merlin and Sir Pierce Ar- row and all King Arthur's knights arrayed themselves in their finest armour and went to the S. C. l. plains to joust with the knights of that place. The fair ladies, too, went to contest those of the S. C. l. in trials of speed. Decked in purple and gold the courtiers followed, car- rying trumpets in their hands, on which ever and anon when the battle raged hottest, they blew tremendous blasts, which were as thunder in the ears of the bystand- ers. The Amazons of the S. C. l. outran the fair ladies, but Sir l..anky-lot and Sir Cifel rafilnt and all King Arthur's true knights won in the joust of tug-of-war. Meanwhile as the smile of summer still lingered, a brave team of knights was organized to play Nye kicking game, and many were the battles won from the minions ofthe S.C.I. The following were those entered on the lists:-Sztewart, Pierce, Buchanan, Slattery, Campbell, Langford, Doolittle, Kincaid, Grant. But when summer's smile faded and the very breezes grew chill, the valiant knights shod themselves with steel and sallied forth to the ice on the great river that runs CLA SSI C Page Twenty-Seve n past the fortress. Many were the falls and turnbles and many a brave knight's helmet was cracked in twain as he wielded his hockey stick. But in most of the battles the scurvy knaves of the city were vanquished. The ice knights were as follows: Campbell, Stewart, Langford, Doolittle, Tanner, Buchanan,. Now when two moons had passed Sir l..anky-lot and Lady Wilhelm commanded all the knights and ladies interested in basketball to assemble in the court-room and there two noble bands were organized whose per- sonnel was as follows :- Ladies-E.. lVlcKay, lVl. Miller, C. Russel, Mclntyre, lVl. lVlcCurdy, E. Cox, lVl. Wilhelm, E.. Bolton, McDon- ald, R. Mclvor. Knights-Stewart, Doolittle, Langford, Campbell, Kinkead, Slattery. Thereafter many were the friendly jousts the ladies held with the S. C. l. and several times were they crown- ed with victory. But on February llth the knights and ladies of 'Lon- don came to play a tournament in the Y.lVl.C.A. gym- nasium. The court-room was filled with spectators, re- splendent with colors, gazing down on the scene of con- test. Divided were the spoils of victory, for though the ladies were ousted the Normal knights were victorious. That night ere the sun set a sumptuous banquet was held about King Arthur's Round Table in the library of the Normal School, where jest and laughter flowed like wine and the evening was passed in much revelry and merry-making. YW H V L: .. m. m Page Twenty-Eight THE CLASSIC June 1922 But alas for the two valiant teams when a fortnight later they were asked to return London's visit. Both of them met defeat at the hands of their foes and it was with tearful faces that the courtiers greeted their return- ing warriors. When Spring came back once more King Football came into his own again. The noble army were entered in the city league and in many cases Won decisive vic- tories. Along with King Football King Baseball ruled and several battles were fought in which the Normal Knights distinguished themselves. Those who composed this mighty army were as follows: Langford, Doolittle, Fisher, Tanner, Pierce, Campbell, Wilton, Rawson, Davidson, Slattery, Stewart. But with June came the contest of wits in which all must engage. The sword and spear were exchanged for the book and pen and thus did a year of victories draw to a close. CHARLOTTE IVIACKENZIE.

This play, presented in the City Hall, the 22nd and 23rd of May, was a contest between two different casts and herein lay the secret of the great interest manifested in the play and the players. The roles were without exception admirably played for amateurs, and it was indeed a difficult task for the judges, Mayor Gregory, Principal C. A. Mayberry, and Alcl. S. C. Cooper, to determine to which company the honours should go. The decision, however, was given in favour of Tuesday night's cast, which entered into the spirit of the play rather better. Great credit is due the coaches, Dr. Silcox and Mr. Manningg nor must we forget the stage committee who contributed so greatly towards making the performances the success which they were. The casts were as follows :- Monday Night:--Duke, Mr. Stewartg Antipholus of Syracuse, Mr. N. Davidsong Antipholus of Ephesus, Mr. H. Langfordg Dromio of Syracuse, Miss M. Shaw: Dromio of Ephesus, Miss L. Stewart: Adriana, Miss K. Robert- song Luciana, Miss E. Boltong Aegeon, Mr. L. Slattery: The Abbess, Miss L. Macl..ennang Angelo, Mr. W. A.

No other words seern more applicable to us today, as graduating students 'of Stratford Normal School, than these of the poet Tennyson. Each of us must realize, as we take leave of one another, that the year we have spent together has left a very definite mark upon us, and that we are indeed a part of all those things with which we have been associated. Undoubtedly many of us, perhaps all of us, fail to realize the measure to which this holds true. Yet the influences of the friendships we have formed, the course of study we have pursued, and the associations that have become indelible in our mem- ories, have achieved much in the way of moulding our characters. Last September We caught the gleam, through the arch of our high school experience, of our coming year at Normal School. With the passing of time We have moved forward, and, while we have done so, the mar- gin of our untravelled world has gradually receded. Gur Normal year is almost completed, and has taken its place in the ranks of our past experience. Yet it will be accorded, l am sure, a very dear place in all our hearts. To-day we face an event for which, ten months ago, the most of us eagerly longed--the breaking up of our Normal year. It was with real pleasure, during those first beautiful Autumn days, that we pictured this fare- well, and regarded it as the shutting of the door behind a disagreeable ordeal through which we had found it necessary to pass. The hour of farewell has now ar- rived, and how different do we find our feelings! As our eyes travel around this familiar building set in its attractive grounds, and we see about us those who have been our companions during the past months, it is im- possible to stifle a feeling of keen regret at the thought of our approaching departure. As we silently review the time we have spent together, we realize how much we owe to the many people who have helped in making our period of training both pleas- urable and profitable. Among these we accord first place to our Masters. Their patience, their encourage- ment and their inspiration have won for them a warm affection in all our hearts. The training of the teacher of tomorrow requires more than polished academic ac- complishmentsg it requires broad vision, lofty idealism and a spirit of sympathetic co-operation. Our staff have more than fulfilled these difficult requirements, and the stamp of their personalities will exercise a lasting influ- ence on us all through the coming years. Closely associated in our minds with our Masters are the teachers of the Practice Schools. To them we are indebted for much encouragement, and for many a word of helpful criticism. Their high calibre has had much to do in elevating the Stratford Normal School to its present enviable status. We regretfully sever our relations with them, not as from critics but as from friends. The churches of the city, too, have played a much appreciated part in our lives during the past terms. Their , --1-if . -i.I,1.,s-- Page Thirly-Four THE CLASSIC June 1922 hearty welcome, and the inspiration received from the ministers both in the class rooms and in the pulpits, will ever live in our memories. Though our thoughts upon such occasions turn much to the past, yet our hopes and interests are even now wrapt up in the future. If we are to reach there the goals we have set for ourselves, we must be prepared for much work yet ahead. Once Normal graduates were regarded as having reached the summit of their educa- tion. We must banish that from our minds. It is only as students that we will progress. He who ceases to learn, ceases to live, for- Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, ls our destined end or way: But to act that each tomorrow Find us farther than to-day. Never were opportunities more abundant for the im- provement of a teacher's educational status than today. All doors have been opened by the introduction of EX- tension Courses and Summer Sessions. 'Let us resolve to take advantage of these golden opportunities. Like old Ulysses may we find our spirits H-yearning in desire To follow knowledge like a sinking star, Beyond the utmost bound of human thought. As we advance educationally we shall not only re- ceive increased salaries, though that should occupy a secondary place in our scheme of things, but we shall experience the real pleasure that always attends the making of honest efforts. For we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, And we mount to the summit round by round. All things are possible for the person who is willing to strive for them. May the future accomplishments of our year mark us out as men and women who were will- ing to pay the price. The inauguration of an annual reunion for ex-students is a feature of our year that will be particularly remem- bered. We were indeed privileged in being the first hosts to the graduates of all the years since the opening of the institution. Let us all make a special effort to meet together at the Banquet next year, there to renew the friendships which we have formed. ' It is these friendships, perhaps, which have affected us more than any of the other influences by which we have been surrounded. For them alone we would deem our Normal year well spent. For a brief span Our paths through life together lie, They widen out- We smile and say 'Good-bye.' But who dare say Our meetings been in vain, If but the memory of the smile We each retain. - H. E.

Litt., of Salisbury, England, on February 22nd, was an outstanding event ot the year-in fact a red letter day in the history of the school. ln his addresses as in his report on English edu- cation, recently published, Sir Henry laid great stress upon this point, that education must be brought into closer relation with life around us. Our schools are engaged too much with abstract work, whereas the great need of youth is experience. When proper foundation of experience has been laid, the ab- stract symbols used in our text books can be interpreted with little effort. Without experience such symbols have not meaning. While the regular work of the school has been well donepby the students of this year, they have taken an unusually intelligent interest in other activities. The Students' Council, the Literary Society, the Athletic Com- mittees, the Junior Red Cross, the Shakespearean Clubs, have all carried on valuable work that constituted the best kind of training for similar activities in their own schools. Without such activities, a school is a mechanical organization out of touch with the world of experience S. SILCOX, Principal. around it. ' S. SILCOX, B.A., D.

Forbes, the Department of Education made an apt choice in sending us, at the re-opening of school, Mr. I... R. l-lalnan. Mr. I-lalnan is a native of Oshawa and also taught for three years in the public schools in that vicinity. He is an honour graduate of Trinity University, obtaining specialist standing with the degree of lVl.A. in mathe- matics and in addition won the Wellington scholarship in mathematics. After completing his college course he spent two years as House Master in Pickering College, Pickering, a short time in Georgetown, and after that for seventeen years was engaged as mathematical master in Brampton High School. Already Mr. l-lalnan has won the esteem and respect of the students by his enthusiasm and kindly discharge of his duties, and we feel that Stratford has gained a worthy citizen. All join in wishing Mr. Halnan the full- est measure of success in the important work he has undertaken. It was with much regret that the students and staff of the school learned on their return, at Easter, that their esteemed master and co-worker, Dr. Emery, had found it advisable to suspend work for a time. Dr. Emery has been such an indefatigable worker and efficient instructor that it is needless to say that he has been greatly missed. We are glad to know that the en- tire rest has already restored to a large extent his former health and vigour and that next year's students will en- joy, as we have, his ready wit and helpful instruction. The breach formed by the Doctor's absence was ably filled by our esteemed principal, Dr. Silcox, who con- tinued the work in Elementary Science and Nature Study, While the instruction in Agriculture was well looked after by Mr. M. C. lVlcPhail, B. Sc. A., District Representative for Perth of the Ontario Department of Agriculture. MRS. SEBBEN Page Eight THE CLASSIC June 1923 Uhr Nnrnwl Srhnnl Simi' S. SILCOX, B.A., D.

Early in the term the students met together for the purpose of organizing a Literary Society. The Work done by this society has been one of the most interesting features of the year, being both instructive and entertain- ing in its character. Members of the staff and students contributed their talent willingly and well. During the first term the programmes were provided by each form in turn and were of a competitive nature. The various social events of the term were planned with a view of enabling the students to get acquainted with one another. On l-lallowe'en the Normal School was the centre of great excitement and mystery, when LITERARY EXECUTIVE-FIRST TERM gruesome forms wandered about the darkened halls into which the timid or even the bravest did not dare to venture. The Christmas party was given in due season. All the students agree that the most enjoyable part of the programme was that in which the members of the staff were brought to the front to display their several abilities in return for a small box of candy. Their hearty thanks took the form of a song entitled, Three Blind Mice. The annual At Home was held February 2nd, which brought to a close the term of office of the first executive. The executive for the second term showed their in- itiative by their choice of programmes for the season. At one of our meetings we had the pleasure of being entertained by the London Normal School. Several meetings of the society were devoted to the study of a Page Ten THE few countries, England, Ireland, Scotland, Canada and France. Each of these countries was represented by one of our attractive students. The last though not least feature of the year was the Shakespearean play HAS You Like lt, which was pre- sented in the City Hall two nights in succession but by different casts. The preparation of Cast l was supervised by Miss Cottle and Mr. Manningg that of Cast Il by Misses Johnston and Everson. This play no doubt occasioned considerable effort on the part of those who participated in it, but each felt amply repaid for the labour involved on account of re- ceiving valuable training on the stage as Well as a fuller acquaintanceship with Shakespearean literature.

About one hundred and fifty graduates gathered around the prettily decor- ated tables to partake of the good things. The gradu- ates were so seated that the members of each class were together at one table and it was an inspiring sight to see the various representatives of each year from 1909 to l922 renewing acquaintances with old schoolroom as- sociates. Page Twelve THE CLASSIC June 1923 At the conclusion of the repast, Dr. Silcox, as chair- man of the gathering, made a few remarks pertaining to matters affecting the welfare and permanence of the as- sociation. Mr. D. Campbell, a former master, gave a short address in which he emphasized the importance of teaching as a profession. Mr. V. K. Greer, Inspector of Schools in London, and also a former member of the Stratford staff, proceeded to summarize the qualifications that should characterize a successful teacher. Miss Mor- ley of the class of l908-09 spoke in behalf of the grad- uates. She mentioned the high esteem in which Dr. Silcox was held by the alumni on account of his untiring energy and unflagging interest in the Work of the school. Miss Marion Copp and Miss Tuck, graduates of the school, delighted the audience with several vocal selec- tions. Before the happy gathering dispersed everyone joined hands and sang Auld Lang Syne with a hearty good will. Miss A. Johnston and Mr. I-I. G. Manning formed the committee in charge of the banquet.

This was a special fund contributed by the School as a body, as a safeguard in case of sickness or accident. The aid of the Sick Benefit Fund proved so valuable during the previous year that it was adopted at the be- ginning of the present Normal School year. A commit- tee consisting of a representative from each Form or- ganized a scheme, whereby, in case of sickness, teachers- in-training might receive assistance in proportion to their expenses. The members of the organization paid a small fee and in this way insured themselves against sickness or accident. The funds were kept up by further con- tributions from the students as the need arose. The system proved very satisfactory. Those unfor- tunately enough to be ill were exempt from heavy ex- pense, while the rest enjoyed the assurance of help in time of need. Those students who received aid during the term ex- press their hearty appreciation of the scheme and their sincere thanks to the members of the Fund. As a Normal School we find the Sick Benefit Fund a bene- ficial scheme and recommend it to other organizations. The following were the members of the Sick Benefit Committee: Annie Eldridge, Dora Laundy, Katherine lVlcl..ay, Florence Wood, Alex. lVIcKechnie.

Self-control is developed from self-government ln schools elf government is practised by leaving the control of matters of discipline and the punishment of offences in the hands of certain pupils elected by the pupils. These pupils draw up their own code of laws and deal with offences as they occur. The teacher is given vetoing power over this governing bodyg but self government proves so efficient that interference is seldom necessary. ln order to demonstrate the operation of such a system, to gain some practical experience and also to maintain the best possible atmosphere throughout the school the Students' Council was again organized in September Throughout the entire year the general atmosphere was test the efficacy of the scheme, but its merit was evi denced in the skilful management of minor problems As a result of the years training the graduates feel that they have gained a good working knowledge of the operation of the system.

One of the most picturesque of the social functions of the year, and one to be long remembered in the hearts of the students was the crowning of the May Queen on May 30. i Miss Irene Bowman was selected by the students' vote as May Queen, and thus honoured as the most beautiful, the 'best behaved and most popular young lady of the year's class. Miss Pugh, Miss Lawrence, Miss E. Pollock, Miss V. McQuillin and Miss Mills were selected as her attendants. During the address given by Dr. Silcox, Miss Bowman was crowned Queen of the May by Miss Pugh. Following the ceremony, the May Pole and other beautiful folk dances were staged by the various Forms. Form III were adjudged the best dancers by the Queen and her attend- ants. Games were then played, after which refresh- ments were served under the guidance of Miss Everson. Much praise is due Miss Cottle, who was in charge of the programme. D. McRae. -M1-11. Canada is the largest waffle on the griddle of the Western World.

MAY DAY g Page Twenty-Six THE CLASSIC June 1923 Uhr iKmninn At-Ennis Decorated profusely with evergreens, Japanese lan- terns, and gorgeous streamers of purple and gold, the Normal School on the evening of February 2, 1923, was the picturesque setting for the annual re-union At Home. The large attendance definitely showed that these oc- casions, of which that of last year was the first, are prov- ing very popular and also effective in bringing together students of the present session and classmates of former years. There were representatives from each class since the opening. These ex-students came back to renew old friendships with both teachers and former colleagues, and to roam about the school recalling pleasant memor- ies. Representatives were present from the sister Nor- mal Schools,-Miss M. lVlcl:addin and Mr. Perdue from London, Miss l-lueston and Mr. D. A. Cooper from Hamilton. After a formal reception by members of the staff and officers of the Literary Society, the guests retired to the Assembly Hall. A splendid entertainment was carried out to the letter of the attractive printed programme. Mr. E. G. Turnbull presided as chairman for the evening, and as first speaker extended an enthusiastic welcome to the graduates. i'Years may come and years may go, but time itself cannot erase in its entirety the precious memory of the care-free hours spent in the S. N. S., said Mr. Turnbull. Dr. Silcox extended the formal welcome of the staff to the guests. l-le particularly welcomed former mem- bers of the staff back to their old environment. Among the most outstanding features of the musical programme were the contributions of Miss Marian Copp, contralto soloist of the Timothy Eaton lVl.emorial Church, Toronto. Miss Copp was a member of the l9l4-l5 class at the Sr. N. S. and is a graduate whom the school is proud to own. . Miss Della Kaiser of the 191 7-I8 class and Miss Agnes Cullis treated the audience with splendid vocal numbers which were received with much applause. sS.N. SIINSTRUCTING . -WEAKY TSACNERS BY F?AD1o.

Miss Edith McDermaid entertained with a recitation, Sir Peter and Lady Teazlef' and Miss Eugenie DuCharme recited one of Pauline ,lohnson's works, As Red Men Die. The Normal School Glee Club, under the capable leadership of Mr. Bottomley, A.R.C.O., rendered sev- eral numbers. This class consists of seventy-five voices and is one of the best in the history of the school. The accompanist was Miss Janet Pugh. After the programme was concluded, the old fash- ioned promenades were indulged in, led by Miss lrene Bolgeris orchestra. A new feature was introduced into this part of the programme. It was a radio concert put on during intermissions. A large throng continually filled the library to hear messages and music float in from far-away points. ln the art room, which was prettily decorated with Japanese lanterns, a dainty lunch was served, which proved to be the crowning event of the evening. It was with feelings of pride, born of having such a pleasant time, that the large crowd finally wended its way homeward, all in loud praise of the most successful At .Homeu ever staged at the local Normal School.

Page Twenty-Eight THE CLASSIC June 1923 SOCIAL LIFE I When we stand at the open door of our future, won- dering what great new experiences lie beyond, let us stop for a moment and look back at the year we spent at Normal. We remember how for the first week or two, because of the unfamiliar surroundings and strange faces about us, we looked forward to the day that would end the term, but as that clay draws too quickly near, it is with much regret that we view it. The social life of our school has been such that asso- ciations ancl friendships formed have grown most precious to us. The success of this part of our school life is due to the inteiest and untiring efforts of Miss Everson. An informal tea was given at which the feelings of strangeness gave place to laughter and conversation. ln a very short time we were able to recognize a familiar face here and there. New acquaintances were formed which through the year have ripened into very dear friendships. A hearty welcome, which took the form of a social evening, was extended by the different churches. One of the best masquerade parties ever held by the Normal School took place on the evening of February 28th. A most weird and awesome sight greeted those who had sufficient courage to enter the portals. About ninety per cent. ofthe students were masked, which added greatly to the pleasure of the evening. Dr. Silcox acted as chairman and a splendid programme was given as follows: Community singingg reading, Miss Rutledge: Mona-toni Quartetteg recitation, Miss P. Moffatt, solo, Mr. Gibson, drill by girls and Miss Cottle gave an exhi- bition of the Princes dance. Refreshments were served at the conclusion of the programme. On the evening of December Sth a pleasant time was spent at a Christmas entertainment. The 'hall was suit- ably decorated for the occasion and a good programme consisting of a variety of numbers was given mainly by the Normal students. The remainder of the evening was spent in games, after which a dainty luncheon was served. An interesting debate was put on between Fifth Form and Third Form, the losers of which were to entertain the Winners. As a result, a very enjoyable time was spent at the Normal, when Fifth Form were the guests of the Third Form girls. Second Form challenged the winners of the debate to a similar contest, and we are told that the boys enjoyed gn evening's fun at the expense of the girls of the Second orm.

A most interesting phase of the Normal year has been the special lectures which the students enjoyed from time to time. Several fine speakers were heard but the outstanding address was that given by S-ir Henry Newbolt on The English Language. The school was most fortunate in securing this noted English educationist and the ideas he presented will remain long in the minds of the students. Much useful information was gleaned from the representatives from various parts of the Em- pire, notably Newfoundland, New Zealand, South Africa and England. A few of these lectures were pro- vided by the Department of Education, but the greater number were made possible through the co-operation of the Stratford Chamber of Commerce. The following is a complete list of the lectures: November 7-Mr. Frank Yeigh, lecturer on Cana- dian Scenery representing Department of Education. January 8-Dr. Horace L.

However, strange to say, and much to the surprise of everyone, they were forced to return to London with the small end of a l-0 score. Anderson. our husky defence man, was responsible for our lone tally. The return game was played in London on February 10th. Again the locals were victorious and returned jubilant and happy in the knowledge of a 2-l score in their favor. Next came a series of four games with the local Col- legiate in which the Normalites won two, tied one and lost one. Rivalry was very keen and culminated in a red-hot final game in which the Normal School team routed the Collegiate 2-0, and simultaneously captur- ed the title of interscholastic Champions. BASKETBALL. The basketball season provided lots of excitement, but did not add much glory to the school as far as the boys were concerned. The girls team played several games with the Y.W.C.A. teams, and won all their games. The boys' team, however, fell before the Collegiate boys. the score being 47-I 7. The girls' and boys' teams went to London for their annual game. They were very hospitably received and then handsomely defeated. The girls' score was 24-0 and the boys' 20-13. i All in all, very little glory was gained but everyone had a good time which, after all, is what really counts. TENNIS. Tennis probably claimed more time at the school than any other sport. Every pleasant day, and on some unpleasant ones too, the courts were crowded. Early in the term, a tournament was held and some weird and wonderful tennis was displayed. Frank Walkom and Anne Lawrence defeated all comers in the mixed doubles and annexed the title of Champions BASEBALL. The first game of the season was played with the Collegiate Institute. The Normal School with F. O'l-lagan in the box walloped out an easy victory 24-4. On Saturday, May 26th, the baseball team of the London Normal School arrived in Stratford with colors flying and bands playing. What confidence they had! THE BASKETBALL TEAM Page Thirty-Two THE CLASSIC June 1923 -.riff ' faf ,, - rf 5. .,-1 A .-Q ' A swing of Oil-'lagan's mighty arm, a streak of white, a thud in the catcher's mitt, a belated grunt, and the story of London at bat is told. Perchance it is unwise to disclose figures at this early date. We do not wish to lose our phenomenal twirler to the Giants or Phillies. Suffice it to say that O'l'lagan pitched a wonderful game, getting nineteen strike-outs. There was a noticeable breeze occasioned by the frenzied swings of the Londoners. O'Hagan received good support from his team- mates and when the game was finished, Stratford Normal School had the heavy end of a 7-3 score. W. A. MORRISON.

VALEDICTORY There is a tide in the affairs of men, Whiclm, taken at the flood, leads on to fortuneg Cmitted, all the voyage of their life ls bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloatg And we must take the current when it serves, Or lose our ventures. --Shakespeare. The swift foot of Time has advanced to another milestone and we, his companion travellers, can al- ready discern at the crossroads the inevitable sign-board of our destiny symbolizing our graduation from the school of books to the school of life. The intervening space is short and straight and our path is well marked out, but beyond all is vague and indistinct. Like the ship that picks its way across the harbour before it ar- rives at open water so we are given a brief opportunity for reflection before our frail craft ventures out amidst the storms of life. ' . Contemplation leads us back through all the years of our academic career. We recall the many pleasant associations that have brightened and cheered our way. We remember with an intense gratitude the kindly in- dividuals Who gave us our directions and pointed out for us the goal of life. As we proceeded through each grade of our primary and secondary education we form- ed friendships that have lasted and will last throughout the years. Then we entered upon our professional train- ing at the Stratford Normal School and found in it per- haps the happiest and most profitable experiences of our whole school career. June 1923 THE It has been said that the joys of anticipation are greater than those of realization but the students who have been privileged to attend this Normal School can testify that the reverse is the case. Prior to last Septem- ber the year to be spent in Stratford Normal School was regarded as a disagreeable yet necessary bridge between us and our ambition. Such were our thoughts when as strangers we first crossed the threshold of this institution. But how speedily did this viewpoint change! A few short weeks passed and the very halls and corridors of the building assumed a new meanng for usp the unfamiliar and seemingly unharmonious surroundings melted into a softer tone and we were strangers no longer. As the weeks and months hastened by and as we came to know our teachers and fellow students better there arose in our hearts a deep thanksgiving that Pio- vidence had guided our footsteps to the Normal School. We found in each other a perseverance and dogged de- termination, we found companion spirits with ideals and aspirations like unto our own, and we found with those companion spirits that fellowship that strengthens and inspires. Small wonder, then, that out of that fellow- ship should spring the many deep-rooted friendships that will grow and develop throughout the years even though the barrier of distance may separate each from the other. The various school activities of the year have been a decided success. Every organization has executed its function with but a single aim--the welfare of the school and the progress of every individual member. Our ath- letic and literary attainments compare favourably with the standards set up by previous classes. Our numer- CLASSIC Page Thirty-Three ous social gatherings have been happy events replete with music, laughter and song. This record has only been possible through the excellent co-operation and faithful service of everyone and through the continuance of that undefinable something known as uesprit de corps. The progress of any body of students in any institution depends largely upon the character and personality of the individuals who lead them in their studies. ln this branch of our training we have been most fortunate in having the sympathetic guidance and advice of an ex- ceptionally capable staff of masters and instructors. They have given freely of their time and talent in our behalf, they have laboured unceasingly to place before us the best of principles, methods, and morals, and they have imbued us with a desire to go out into the schools of our land to strengthen and improve our national educational status. For these faithful friends we will always hold a warm spot in our hearts. To the teachers in the Practice Schools, too, we would express our gratitude. Their counsel and kind criticism have been most timely, and often we have wondered at their patience and forbearance. Our crude attempts at teaching during the early part of the year must have been somewhat of a trial to them and again it must have been a delight to note our gradual improvement under their tutorship. Our sojourn in Stratford has been brightened by the friendly attitude of the citizens themselves. From the very first they made us feel that we were welcome as the flowers of May. The churches and ministers of the city have been most gracious and we shall carry away Page Thirty-Four THE nothing but pleasant remembrances concerning them. Any projects that we initiated were well supported by the city and for this we are greatly indebted. But the time draws rapidly near when we must bid our friends a final and affectionate farewell. Our stay in the best school of all is limited. Within a short time now we must gather together the threads of knowledge that we have accumulated and advance to new spheres of action. As Longfellow has said we must Hlook not mournfully into the pastg it comes not back again. Nve must rather go forth to meet the shadowy future without fear and with a manly heart. Many individuals in our class will undoubtedly achieve distinction in the 'coming years. When such dis- tinctions are bestowed it will be with a feeling of pride that we shall recall that the honoured man or woman was a member of our year. Perhaps others of us may not be privileged to do the big things but let us perform the duty that falls to our lot faithfully and well, remember- ing that we must be held accountable in that final day for the smallest talent. nl shall pass this Way but once. Any good thing therefore that l can do, or any kindness that l can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let we not de- fer it, or neglect it, for l shall not pass this way again. --B. Gilpin. The hours are ticking away and the last final hour in this dear old school is drawing very near. It is hard to smile sometimes when we realize that never again shall we all meet together. We may wander back to the school in the park but other voices than ours will re- CLASSIC June 1923 sound through the classrooms and other feet will climb the familiar stairways that lead to the fountains of knowf ledge. Yet can we not smile and say with Tennyson: 'isharers of our glorious past, Brothers, must We part at last? Shall we not through good and ill Cleave to one another still? As We scatter to the four points of the compass we shall each be surrounded by a different atmosphere and we shall each be associated with a different school, but our Alma Mater will ever hold for us a tender wealth of memory. The red brick edifice with its stately dome, set so artistically amidst the green and the gold of the sur- rounding foliage, and with the shining waters of the Avon in the background, will ever symbolize for us all that is worth-while and precious. Every brick will re- present some pleasant incident or association of this happyyyear. lVlay each one of us experience a fuller interpretation of that little gem of l..ongfelloW's as We repeat it together for the last time amid this beloved environment. 'il have you fast in my fortress, And will not let you depart, But put you down into the dungeon ln the round-tour of my heart. And there will l keep you forever, Yes, for ever and a clay, Till the walls shall crumble to ruin, And moulder in dust away! ELGIN G. TURN BULL.
