June 1923 THE CLASSIC Page Seven STAFF NOTES When the position of mathematical master became vacant last spring owing to the death of our former master, Mr. W. 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

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
