TDD Tfll'llE 'CILAJFJF 'Ulf lIQl4l7 You have chosen to be teachers! You decided upon teaching as your vocation at a time when many teachers were leaving the profession. When you were interviewed on registration day, 85 per cent of you explained that you had always wanted to be teachers, that you had gone steadily toward that goal since childhood without swerving from your determina- tion at any time. The remaining l5 per cent of you told that you had had some opportunities to help with teaching classes during the war-time shortage of teachers and that you had enjoyed the experience. There were just a few of you who were groping to find a suitable vocation. When you were questioned for an explanation of your long-felt desire to teach you gave various answers. The most frequent were these: I liked little children and always wanted to play school with them g My mother was a teacher and told me fascinating tales of her experiences g l had great admiration for my third grade teacher and wanted to be like her g I al- ways enjoyed acting stories and making speeches but my mother told me I could never be an actressg I turned to teaching as the next best medium of expression for me. Those explanations indicate talents for teaching in their early stages, and on the basis of them one would prophesy a successful teaching career for the members of the Class of l947. To each of you will fall the work of helping to reconstruct the pro- fession. Co into it with hopeful anticipation and determination to use your own strength as a teacher toward the betterment of the profession and the accretion of satisfactions to your own self. For the realization of these goals there are prescriptions which are tried and true. These four are infallible: Be a growing teacher. Never permit yourself to slip into the groove which is traditional of teachers. Never allow your practices to become clogged with pedagogical trappings and useless paraphernalia. Think for yourselfg broaden your outlookg and continue to study. Be an enthusiastic teacher. Let your love for your work shine in your face and dominate your personality. Enthusiasm is contagious. Only a dynamic individual can stimulate others to action. Be an honest teacher. To your own self be true. Express your own ideas in your dealings with pupils and professional associates. Let your work be the reflection of your own convictions and the result of your own decisions. Be a happy teacher. Want to do so badly that you cannot fail. Crea- tion in any medium brings joy to the creator. Helping to re-create in human beings brings supreme happiness. Your opportunity is before you. May you have the good fortune to grasp it. M. THERESA WIEDEFELD, President.
