Man is his own star, and the sold that can Render an honest and a perfect man Commands all light, all influence, all fate. Nothing to him falls early or too late. Our acts our angels are, or good or ill, Our fatal shadoivs that walk by us still. . . . John Fletcher,

Htu ' IVU 2 O ' f tPiz (oif )) RING each University session students ' have several opportunities to pool re¬ sources of time, energy and talent in planning and completing extra-curricular projects that both enrich and add variety to campus life. This Yearbook is one such project. I congrat¬ ulate your Executive for planning a Yearbook that will record the year ' s activities of the Calgary Branch of the Faculty of Education. The fact that you are two hundred miles removed from the parent students ' organiz¬ ation makes it rather essential that you exer¬ cise a measure of autonomy that makes pos¬ sible on active students ' union and ensures enthusiastic student participation therein. All reports I have received this year indicate that you have carried through a worth-while win¬ ter ' s program. I am pleased that while doing this you have kept in touch throughout the year with the Students ' Union at Edmonton. Fraternal relations should be maintained between the two branches of the Faculty. Though you have your own publications, probably you should participate more than at present with the parent organization in the publication of both the Gateway and the Evergreen and Gold. Probably too in future sessions you should provide for more interchange of opinion between the two groups and for visits each with the other. This Yearbook brings together your collective impressions of the year just ending. In the future you will re-read these pages and enjoy thoroughly the accounts given of current happenings. Probably at this moment, however, you are more interested in your ' first ' school than in events ve ry close at hand. You are about to become a teacher. The experienced teachers of Alberta welcome you as colleagues in their profession. After years in the classroom they yet work, study and plan, realizing that they who teach must ever learn. They each had a ' first ' school. In imagination they know the hopes, fears and queries with which you take up the chalk. You should be encouraged by the fact that, ill-equipped as you may consider yourself to be, you are probably as well prepared for your first day of teaching as was any one of the present senior administrators in the Province when he accepted his first position with some rural school board. After only one year of training with its relatively few opportunities to think through the problems of instruction, you are accepting the responsibility of directing the mental and moral development of a little group of children. What an opportunity! What a challenge! What an invitation to further study! We hope you enjoy the classroom with its varied and numberless tasks and that after a short time you will return to the Faculty of Education to continue the programs of study now interrupted. Fraternally yours, M. E. LAZERTE, Dean, Faculty of Education. Page Six

To the Students, Faculty of Education, Calgary, Alberta. It is a pleasure to direct a feiv ivords of greeting to the students of the Calgary Branch of the Faculty of Education. In particular I extend to those about to take over their first schools every good wish for a happy and satisfying teaching experience whether of short duration or for a lifetime. This year the “Chinook” ivhich has had a long and illustrious career is succeeded by the “Evergreen and Gold”, thereby giving further evidence that the Normal School has merged itself into the University of Alberta. It is my hope that for many of you the merging tvill be con¬ summated through your continued interest in University courses and the carrying forward of the University program you have begun. On behalf of the Department of Education I tvelcome you to the ranks of professional educators and trust that you ivill find this company stimulating, friendly and helpful. R. E. ANSLEY, Minister of Education.
