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.

TORONTO NORMAL SCHOOL, 1913 35 One of the popular girls of the Toronto Normal School is Gertrude L. Derry. She spent the early years of her childhood in Richmond Hill, and we believe they were happy for she will have friends where- ever she goes. Later when her neurones had developed sufficiently she entered Janis Street Collegiate. Here she learned the mysteries of deductions, conjugations, inverse squares, and all that conglomeration of heterogeneous substances pertaining to the school. Gertrude was ambitious so Jarvis with all its attractions could not content her. Im mediately after her graduation in 1912 she entered Normal. Miss May me Donnelly, a native of Alliston, Ont., passed her early school days of scholarly attainments at Alliston Public School. Later she attended the local High School where she secured her junior Leav ing Certificate, June, 1911. Finally she studied for Entrance to Faculty at St. Joseph s College, Toronto, and obtained the Governor-General s medal for English. At Normal she has w-ell lived up to the beatitude. Blessed is the teacher whose criticisms have enough sugar in their foundation to take out the bitter taste. Those who come under her pedagogical influence will no doubt be attracted by her cheerful and pleasant manner and be captivated by her appreciation of English. Helen Murray Edmison was born in the Methodist Parsonage at Wellington village, County of Prince Edward. Her disposition is as bright and sunny as her hair, with a tendency to hilarity which was in early life held in check by the consciousness of the all-seeing eye of the congregation. She wins irany friends and keeps them all. Her educa tion has been obtained in various places, chiefly in that grand old nursery of genius, Harbord Collegiate. In politics she is a quot;Suf fragette, quot; and therefore eligible for a position on the Toronto Public School Staff, where we predict for her a brilliant though short career. Miss Eva J. Ellison first attended a county school in the Town ship of Tecumseth. She passed her Entrance to Normal at Tottenham High School in 1912, and is now attending Normal at Toronto, and hopes to make a good report at the end of the term. Annette Faris was born in the vicinity of Bradford. Yhen she had received a firm educational foundation at the Scotch Settlement Public School. Then she daily dimpled the road to Bradford High School. But one year was quite enough for Nettie. However, a year s course in Domestic Science, which didn t happen to be needed, only sharpened her desire to finish her High School course. She passed her Entrance to Normal in July, 1912. Marjorie Fennell is another of the honored and respected Brad ford students. She has always held a high standing in social and stu dent life. She passed her Entrance to Normal Examination in 1911 with a creditable standing. We wish her the same success in her new sphere of life, and we are confident that she will work hard to secure it.
