.Rum A pwnvvvmrrfrrnnrrrrntrrvrvrfvvvfrfvfvfrfvrrfvrrvttt' gel A TORRUNJO NORML scnocmvezm noon Page from the Past T tllllt graduation from Normal School we have passed into a new walk of life. leaving the highest position attainable in our school life. for a new position in the outer world. This time our place as a pupil has been changed to the position of a teacher. With this change came the many responsibilities and difficulties so often mentioned to us by our Critic Teachers but which we failed to ap- preciate at that time. How splendid it was at one time to be as clay in the moulder's hands and to listen and be guided by the kindly words and advice of our eldersl Now we are acting as the moulders and must guide and advise to the best of our ability. the younger generation which is to be the guiding hand of to-morrow. We have adopted that happy motto of the Prince of Wales. Ich Dieu. or l Serve and what a happy inspiration it is. Truly. life is duty. and to do our duty is to do our best. We are not being fair to ourselves or society if we are not giving the best that is in us. .How to do this and what must be done by us. we acquired while we were in session in the Toronto Normal School. There we found the teachers only too eager to assist us and advise us in any of our troubles. Nlingled with our academic work were our social activities so that combining the two. we spent a year which never could be rivalled in our quest for knowledge. It takes very little to allow one's mind to wander back to some of those delightful teas. those Literary meetings or to the trip to Hamilton. Often while dreaming these entrancing dreams we are obliged to awaken suddenly and find that we are in front of a class who have finished their seat -work and are becoming just a little restless. I wonder how many of last year's class are dreaming of a time when they will be outstanding figures in the educational circle. Several of these students are now acquiring higher learning in the f'orm of ISA. courses from the various lniversities. Heres hoping their guiding star continues to function until they awaken from their reveries. unequalled in their chosen profession. There are even those in remote districts who take these lessons by mail so that a teacher's work may really be merely beginning on his completion at Normal School le n liven in the remotest corners of Ontario and as far west as York- ville. Saskatchewan. boards of education are singing praises to the Toronto Normal School for the teachers who graduated in the class of '29. Our associates have taken positions all over the province. Some are teaching in the far northern posts while others are teaching to the far west. Still others have roamed as far east as Ottawa and many have found positions in the southern part of our fair province. All these or as many as possible get together once a year to drink a toast to dear old T.N.S. and to renew old acquaintances. Some have formed friendships which will go on through life. lt seemed that we were just getting nicely acquainted when the year was ended. but not our training. for we are to return in at least four years to add the final touches to what we have already acquired. But while the pupils of this year have Mr. Whyte as their able Principal. the students who have graduated cannot fail to ex- press the deep sorrow at the loss of Dr. Radcliffe who was called from us so suddenly in September. He was a friend to all those who attended Normal during his principalship and was one of the greatest inspirations to any student aspiring to become a worthy teacher. He controlled and influenced those under him in their battle for their profession as we imagine Wolfe must have done at Quebec. He built up a school spirit. which must continue to per- meate the pupils who graduate from the T.N.S. So time has passed until soon we will no longer be considered as last years' class but just as one of the many which have passed through the doors of the school. With a pang of regret and carrying with us always. the deepest regards for all concerned with the glorious old Toronto Normal School. we. the Class of '29 have closed its doors behind us and find ourselves now applying principles instead of acquiring them.
