32 THEYEARBOOK early childhood were entirely uneventful. In due time she entered Winchester School, the only Public School in Toronto around which tender associations gathered until this year s connected with quot;Dear old Park School. quot; Later scholastic efforts were undertaken at Jarvis Col legiate Institute in which institution our building pedagogue served several consecutive terms. Her affections were then transferred to the Toronto Bible College, where she spent two years, graduating in the spring of 1912. Those who know her slightly, think she is quiet, but certain human propensities reveal themselves on further acquaintance. Ethel M. Calder is one of Toronto s sweet maidens. From the Harbord Collegiate Institute in 1909, Ethel obtained her Normal En trance with flying colours. Two years later, she graduated from that noble institution, claiming Part I and Part II of her Senior work. This winsome, dark-eyed Scotch lassie has endeared herself to the teachers and students of the Toronto Normal School, and also to the young hope fuls of the Model School. Ethel J. Leslie was born near Markdale, attended the Public School and obtained her first degrees (High School Entrance and Pub lic School Leaving) in that town. Then she went to Owen Sound and passed her Normal Entrance. She has taught three years already, and will have the advantage of some of us when it comes to receiving the Trustees criticisms. Alice Maud Chesterman first saw the light of day in Weston. While yet an infant she began to wander o er this world and settled in Toronto for a short time. Next to the town of Hespeler she went. During her sojourn there she attended the village school, and when she had passed the Entrance made daily trips to Gait Collegiate Institute. In Nineteen and ten she winded her way to Toronto again and studied at the Humberside Collegiate Institute. Leona Chrisholm came forth from Lion s Head on Georgian Bay. By the time Public School days arrived she was living in Wiarton. Later she moved to Owen Sound. She is a graduate of the Owen Sound Collegiate Institute, and the teachers there, still have vivid recollections of her desire to get to the bottom of things. Thorough ness is Leona s chief characteristic and because of it she is going to be one of the most successful teachers the Toronto Normal School has produced. Streetsville is proud it may well be to claim Eva A. Cooke as one of her representatives to the Toronto Normal School Class of 1912-13. Her Public School education completed at the early age of twelve, she attended High School, where teachers and fellow pupils alike were startled by her wonderful mathematical powers. Here also

34 THEYEARBOOK she received much pleasure and won for herself great success in hold ing up the Reform Party in Political debates. We all know how Eva will vote in a few years when women gain their suffrage. In 1910 she received her Normal Entrance and Junior Matriculation, and after two years successful experience in training the young- minds of Halton County she wended her way to the Toronto Normal. Miss Mary E. Corlett first appeared among the living near the town of Williamsford, Grey County. She attended Public School Section No. 3 of Sullivan Township where she proved to both teachers and pupils that she was endowed with rare powers of intellect and charac ter. After passing through the many vicissitudes of Public School life, she left behind the fascinating beauties of her beautiful country home, to enter upon an urban life among Chesley friends. In Chesley High School she won the undying love of all with whom she came in con tact. In 1912 she passed the Normal School Entrance examination. quot;A good companion and as firm a friend. quot; Nellie K. Cox was born in Clarksons. She received her prepara tory education at Parkdale Collegiate where she always maintained a high stand on the Honour Roll. Graduating with honours she entered the Normal College with the class of 1913. Nellie s unvaried congen iality will always make her a centre of warm friends who send her on her quot;way with loving wishes for a future as bright as was her school life. Heralded by the bleak and piercing wind of March, Evelyn Norma Crouch entered into life nineteen years ago. At an early age she passed her High School Entrance examination, thus ending the first epoch in her life s training. She attended Riverdale High School in its in fancy. Adaptation to circumstances was the order of affairs that first year. Leta H. Dalton first saw the light of day in the town of Delhi, Norfolk County. Her earliest education was received in her home town. After her knowledge had sufficiently increased, Leta began her High School career in Simcoe from which school she graduated in 1912. Since then Leta has been deep in the mysteries of Construction Work, Art and Household Science in the Toronto Normal School. Lulu E. Davey in Bradford was born A few years ago one cold winter s morn. Soon to the town of Newmarket she went Where we consider her school days well spent. Two years ago Normal Entrance she passed And now she has entered Normal at last She s not very big but go where you will You can scarce find better patience and skill. Her bright sunny smile is pleasant to view And all who know her agree with me, too.
