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.

boss [ —— oss - ( ( £ i IVdtcomz t. [j ouasth % u ctife. tnri luchC The Faculty of Education, staff and students alike were delighted to welcome as their director, Mr. A. L. Doucette, B.Sc., M.A. His excellent .academic grounding, coupled with a vibrant personality have won the ad- ' miration and respect of all who have come in contact with him We all feel justly proud of his fine war record, first as Director of Personnel Selection for Western Canada, and later in Europe where he rose to the rank of Major. Perhaps fhe thing that means the most to us is that Mr. Doucette has been both a teacher and an Inspector of Schools. Thus, having experienced the problems and difficulties facing teachers, he gives us that depth of under¬ standing so helpful and encouraging to beginners. We are indeed fortu¬ nate in having such a man for our director and fully appreciate all he has done for our school during the past year. Wztooms. to cJ i s.mbs.’is. oj jacu[ty Though perhaps the fact isn ' t very clearly expressed in our daily Faculty activities, we have a warm word of welcome we wish to express to each and every new professor on the Calgary Faculty Staff. Yes, New¬ comers, though we don ' t always do our homework, and aren ' t always wide awake in class, and worst of all, sometimes show amazingly poor results in examinations, we are glad to have you with us. So make no mistake Professors, these signs are not as serious as you may think. We truly do appreciate your presence with us, your willing cooperation which you so readily offer on any occasion, and even your daily lectures. To Dr. Self, Mr. Pallesen, Mr. Laurie, Miss Barclay, Mr. Irwin and Mr. Safran, we, the members of the Calgary Branch of the Faculty of Education, extend our most sincere and hearty welcome. Also, we are happy to wel¬ come back to the staff Mr. Finn who served in the Air Force during the war and now returns to us fresh from post-graduate work at Stanford University.
