K. P. HISTORY We. the K.l'.'s, firmly believe that valuable things are done up in small parcels. Our numbers may be slim-there are only fourteen of us taking the course abut it is a very happy, friendly group with an abundance of talent distributed among its members. Our activities have been confined mostly to those concerned with the Kindergarten. It might be termed the K.l'. club-workroom. There are invariably some of us on hand trying to puzzle out a pattern with sticks and tablets, some elbow-deep mixing clay, and some fortunate beings who have nothing to prepare for the next day. They feel it their duty to keep up the day spirit. We are of the opinion that the K.l'.'s put in the longest year, for we are usually the first to arrive in the morning and invariably the last to leave at night. In the way of Dramatics the K.l'.'s presented an operetta, which included everyone in the class, and which won for us the cup award- ed by the Literary Society for the best programme of the year. Un looking over the Kindergarten-llrimary diary for the year, these events stand out: Sept. 15th-The tirst morning at Normal. We are all summoned in fear and trembling to the music room and meet together for the first t'me. A common sympathy unites us all. To keep our teeth from chattering, everyone talks to everyone else. So by the time the ordeal is over we are an exhausted but united class. Nov. 3rd-fThe K.I'.'s have their first social event in the form of a luncheon in the Kindergarten. Miss Hodgins and Miss Campbell are the hostesses. lt is a real partydeven to candles. The K.P. teachers are there and the party is kept lively by the current handies . Dec. l'7thHThe Christmas concert goes off beautifully. We wonder if we will ever live through one of our own. Feb. 19th-The stage is set for our operetta. Miss Campbell is at the piano ready to begin. The curtain parts. We only hope that distance transforms the five swathed in cheese-cloth into faries. The children look real enough. We are even accused of importing some of them from the Kindergarden. Phyllis Reid, Florence Nightingale and -lean MacDonald in the leading parts excel themselves. We feel that the success of the operetta is due to Miss Campbells help. We are very proud to receive the cup awarded by the Literary Society for the best programme of the term. Helen LawreneefThat sweet young thing from Weston, whose sunny smile has brightened everyone. Helen is the only K.P. student who can afford the services of a chauffeur. Page Eighty-two Elizabeth Parslow-Elizabeth came to the Normal from Fort William. Although the most petite member of the class, no one could excel her in cheerfulness. She has been our Athletic representative Connie Postanss-A demure, long-haired maiden from Fort William, who shied at having her locks cut off with the garden shears. Connie's favourite pastime has been train-riding. Florence Cattell-At the New Year we welcomed Florence into our class. With two years teaching experience behind her, Florence was a model for the rest of us. We are all glad to have known her. .lean MacDonald-The girl with the smile and the voice. Jean comes from Kincardine. We feel sure she Will go a long way in her chosen profession. Margaret Coombs-Margaret has been a great pal. She has the dis- tinction of having her degree but was rather taken aback when she was mistaken for a Kindergarten child. Marian Scarlett-Marian was Dame Durden's prize pupil, but it tool: Dr. Thompson to revive that creation of hers which has been dead for two weeks. Rachel Lannan-Rachel is the youngest member of our class. She is one of our girls from Willard Hall, and 'fthe worst of the lot, too . Rachel is a talented artist and comes from Port Colbourne. Florence Nightingale+-Nightingale by name and Nightingale by voice -the K.P.'s chief songster. Florence's greatest love is music. Flor- ence is a daughter of the Queen City. Jean Looney-One of those Fort William fairies, who trips over chairs to display her artistic temperament. jean has one invincible habit -four-o'clock tea. Bernice Corbett-Everyone is Bernice's stooge. Her pet remark, 'fOh, girls, do you want to hear a joke, never finds her without a good audience. We've needed Bernice to keep us laughing. Frances Emmerson-Frances is one of the most artistic and talented of the K.P. girls. Thirteen K.P. girls would like to take this opportunity of thanking her for her books. Phyllis Reid-Another K.P. with artistic strivings. But we think that she should be satisfied with her wonderful musical talent. Phyllis is from Toronto. Phyllis Taylor-Phyllis, our Year Book representative, was from the city t?J of Galt. Her favourite haunt has been the Kindergarten morning, noon and night. Phyllis Taylor.
