SCI-IOOLYEZIR Book at HISTGRY UF FORM I EATED on the Normal School lawn, with the May sun beaming on their upturned faces, fourteen youths of Form I were busily engaged in killing two birds with one stone. As t.hey chanted tl, fl, I. I, s. rl, r, nz, in a variety of time and pitch that would have bowed Mr. Cringan's grey hair in sorrow to t.he grave. they scanned the sky for some new bird to add to their calendar. There was a sudden hushg up piped a voice, Say. do remember the time that- Wie do: all of them. It seems but yesterday that Monday morning we first assembled as a class. Perehing nervously on our stools, we inspected our classmates for the year and speculated thusly- If she doesn't live in Richmond Hill and if her dis- position matches her looks. well who knows? Or, If he dances and has a car. life may be better than I thought. VVe were strangers in a strange land. VVhat a change Mr. Patterson's first words madei Ladies and Gentlemen, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the Toronto Normal School and the teaching profession. VYe felt at home. and have felt that way ever since. It was his words of guidance that first day that helped to make those that followed so much easier and pleasanter for us. But more than this. Mr. Patterson has endowed us with his own enthusiasm and appreciation of the common things in Nature. When next year. we apply his principles and methods, Nature Study will become the most delightful subject on the Curriculum. Do you remember when first we became friends? In the ruddy glow of the camp-fire with the lapping of the Humber in our ears. we formed ties and friend- ships that still glow within us. It was the first party of the year and perhaps the fondest in our hearts. There was born that class spirit which binds us still. Our Form may justly claim to having influenced the School's activities. From Form I were recruited leaders for every school organization. Our roll was a Who's Who of T.N.S. No matter how they appeared to the rest of the School. we knew these leaders for what they were, A prophet is not without hononre- Being polite, we start with the ladies. There was Dorothy Angle, beautiful President of the Girl's Athletic Society and star of the Junior Basketball team. Her smile warmed our hearts, but hers was flint to our masculine grins. With Marion Aikens, it was a case of out of the frying-pan into the fire. From associate editor of the Spectator to Director of Photography for the Year Book was exactly that jump. But Marian thrived on the heat. Fomi I MR. A. M. PATTERSON NN hen a question was too dlfhcellt lt was referred to lthxabcth Bast. the Form lfncyclopedia. That is why she was Form Bcpresentatlye on the Second Literary lixecutive. tlur refl-headed Bean's Bepresentat iv 4-.tfollena .Xrmstrong astounded us with her mathematical juggling of I2 and 23. And Uh, the men. Take Sinclair Hemingway. To the rest of the school. he was President of the Literary Society. Urator and Debater. contributor to Nlcl.ean's and member of the year Book Staff, but we knew him for a commuter to Vifeston and advocate of blind begging as an honourable profession. Again, Editor of the Year Book. Secretary-Treasurer of I Boy's Athletics and Editor of the Spectator were the titles given Gordon McIntyre by the school. But we gave him a different title, The Canny Scot and iixxiljllltifl-TTEiit'l'.u synonymous epithets. Because he was a member of Parliament and reputed to be independently wealthy, all the school funds were entrusted to Bill Bedford. But we knew he had missed his calling: he should have been an Oriental despot with a very large harem. Preston Woodward was the very successful Business Nlanagcr of the Year Book and the only boy to display his vocal talents upon the platform. His success in soliciting advertising was due to the fact that the business men found it easiest to give him an ad than to listen longer. Tom Bradford. our Bepresentative on the Year Book Staff. modestly attri- buted his success in obtaining advertising to his business-like manner. his per- severance, intelligence and .lean Abbot s smile. To everyone else Ted Shunk was our handsomest male and captain of the Basketball Team: but to us he was the phenomenon who read through his nose. The Business Manager ofthe Dramatic Club and President of the Form Audubon Society was Earl Taylor. He was better known to us however as the Eternal Question Mark or the lad with the wrong note-book. It may be added to Harry Henderson's crimes that he wrote this history. Among our fondest recollections will be those memories we possess of our Principal, Mr. Vl'hyte. He was a daily inspiration to us. We saw him in many situations, some of them trying indeed, but he was ever the same, kindly, gracious and patient. Often we must have been a source of worry and trial to him but he never appeared angry or provoked with us. Of his humour, it can only be said that it was true wit, and. while not without its effect, was the gentlest we have ever known. It was the magic of David Whyte's personality that Inoulded Form I and all the other forms in that unity of purpose and spirit so charac- teristic of the Toronto Normal School. H.B.H.

: mmm 11... lei'-S y TOROIFLTO NORML scnootvszm Boo may ll HISTORY OF FORM II A Group of girls, all smiling. foo! What Form is that? 011. llmfs Form ll. To Whom It May Concern HIS is to certify that we hereby make application and express heart-felt desire to aspire to the position of being the brightest. happiest.. peppiest.. prettiest. youngest Form in the Toronto Normal School, even if we do know that some think us t.he most tardy tespecially for Nature Study periods on Tuesday afternoon about 2.15 p.m.J wearisome. annoying, talkative. hilarious. ignorant. and ancient group of 32. that was ever wished on one Normal Master.-Poor Mr. Mustard lll Our qualifications. in short, are as follows: We hope to hold our Interim First Class certificate on or about July 12. 1930. our Permanent First Class certificate on June 31. l935. our B.A. in July 19l5. and D. Paed. in the early sixties. At present we have to our credit one A.T.C.M.. held by our most worthy Normal pianist. Miss Vera Halburt. In fact some say' that we excel in music. our other donators. being Misses Foster and Cranstoun. We also speak. as shown by lVlissHaight'soration. Once we were known to argue.thatwas when this same young lady and lNlissJempson upheld the Form in what was known as a debate. ln a moment of pride. we pictured our distractions. when. standing at the front of a class. with a stern critic behind us. we saw a normal master walk in and knew thoughts would fly beyond all reach of our hands. This was appreciated by the audience. since each person who watched us had experienced the same queer feeling which Miss Lucy Foster so ably portrayed. To read a story from the platform is usually considered difficult, but Miss Jean Davis proved that it can be done quite successfully. She is, by the way. our Form's noted reader. We are proud of the way our girls respond to the call for money. ti! ur reason for this pride is that Form ll was the only Form in T.N.S. '30, to hand in to Mr. W. J. Redford the Normal's noted Treasurer. all our money on the day it was due. VVe think that this is proof that we. as Scotehmen. or otherwise. will be able to handle capably next year. any given amount.. For particulars apply to Grace Carbin who was our Form Representative during the first half of the year. or to Miss Lucy Foster who is holding this position during our last term. Our Normal has a VVeekly paper-To this. we have contributed poetry and a short story written by Miss Aula Johnston. This will show you that if we require inore literature during the year for pupils. all we shall have to do is write it. The expenses of the School will be reduced. thereby. since said School would not be asked to buy more literary books. This is not showing our Scotchness but merely expressing our desire to save our new Board unnecessary expense. thus FoRv1 II MR. T. MUST.-XRD enabling them to increase our meagre allowance twhich action. we assure you. would bc greatly appreclated.u To prove to you that the same Nliss Johnston is gifted with literary talent. letus tell you that she is our representa- tive for the second half of the life of our Normal paper. This position was held by Nliss lvy Jempson during the lfall term. On the aforesaid Nliss Johnston, who is our member of the Year Book stall. we must lay thc blame or base our reason that our Form is obtaining so many points for the School Cup by giving contributions to our Year Book. as she certainly knows how to make other people work. Should not every successful teacher know just this? lf our application should mcct with your approval. we shall try to do our part in the social life of the conmmnity. This year we have been members of the Normal Beans' Club Miss Freda ltlaglcs has been our representative and will supply all information necessary. Our l orm's fall ex- cursion was a Weiner lioast to Baby Point. .Xdhcring strictly to rules. each individual arrived home punctually at the extremely early hour of 8 p.m. As remuneration for our untiring. ccaselcss. fruitful ever-faithful elforts. the following will be greatly appreciated: A three hour teaching day. four days a week. Blue Monday being omit ted. and the meagre. paltry sum of two thousand five hundred cents paid promptly weekly. Thanking you in advance for an early reply. we remain.
