Jn.oni 0 t iz±Lclznt (Itaxfz . . . Fellow Students:— No organization can accomplish very much without the co-operation of all its members! This I have received most generously, and my first words must be, Thank you, one and all, especially the teaching staff, for your help and assistance during the past season. I am a teacher. In the near future each of us will be saying these four words. What does being a teacher mean? What standards must we be prepared to meet, we who are destined to play so important a role in the moulding of future Canadian citizens. To answer these questions we must have in mind the picture of a successful teacher. We must realize how important is the contact between teacher and children. We must be ready to give more than we take in our everyday living. When we refer to Christ as a Teacher, the word takes on a profound meaning. To pattern our teaching on that of Christ would ensure us complete success. Humility, understanding, and patience must be virtues of those who wish to climb high on the ladder of teaching success. Every person, consciously or unconsciously, has an Ideal. Many of us set up as our Ideal a teacher we once had during our own school days. A child is very susceptible to hero worship, and, as a teacher deals with child¬ ren five hours a day, his philosophy of life must be one that children can understand and live up to in their everyday lives. From this fact we must see how important our actions are in the lives of our students. To be a successful teacher one must be willing to give free time to after-school student interests. In both sports and social life students need guidance. A teacher willing to extend his influence beyond the confines of the class room may aid in churches, community halls, and on the athletic field. Interesting, up-to-date courses may be taken at Summer Schools throughout the Dominion to help the teacher in these extra-curricular act¬ ivities. In the few foregoing paragraphs I have given three definite teacher needs: Idealism, Influence, Selfessness. There are many more essentials to be truly successful, and each person entering the field of teaching must ask himself if he is capable of giving to students the direction necessary to lead them to a richer and fuller life.

£ue ' Uf, ' iee.+t paid (rtfyl N this second edition of the Evergreen and Gold, Calgary Branch, we have attempted to give you a glimpse of the activities which epito¬ mize the interest and ambitions of those enrolled in Education. Yet we can never hope to recapture all those pleasant experiences and enjoyable activities which are so real to all of us. We also should like to make clearer the realization that the Calgary Branch is becoming a larger and better established institution in curricular as well as extra-curricular activities. A publication owes its success to those who have planned its organiz¬ ation and contributed the articles, the photos and the write-ups. To Miss Chittick must go the largest share of honours, for without her aid and direction this book would never be here as a souvenir of your days in the Faculty. Congratulations must go to Mr. Tigerstedt for his fine photo¬ graphy, and to Mr. Irwin and his classes for their help with lay-outs and art effects. To Mr. Jeffries goes the honor for the photo on the front cover and to Mr. Ontkean our appreciation for the design on the end papers. The editors also wish to thank the advertisers who have been most generous. To all those who have contributed in any other way may we offer our grateful thanks for your co-operation. May this book bring you many happy thoughts in the years to come— thoughts of the numerous good times we have spent together in the Faculty. GORDON JEPSON, WILLA MACK, Editors. Page Eleven
