OTTAWA NORMAL SCHOOL YEAR BOOK me 1928 Our Viyito ry LL things pass, and our year at the Ottawa Normal School will soon be a happy memory. Long in our thoughts will linger the addresses, serious, gay, or fiavoured with humour, delivered to us throughout the year. Our first visitor was Dr. Smith, Chief Inspector of Schools for Scotland. His interesting address was chiefly on the present day tendencies in school matters, and their correction. A dash of Scotch humour was appreciated by the students. In November, Miss Florence Dunlop, a former student of our school, took us on an imaginary trip through South Africa. When the Christmas season drew nigh, Mrs. Ralph Duclos, also a former student, brought to us the greetings of the staff through the medium of the beautiful story, The Shepherd who didn't go. lf thou can'st not dive for pearls, seek for amber, was the subject of a most inspiring address given us by Rev. Robert George, on january 4, 1928. Much useful and interesting knowledge was derived from the address of Mr. V. K. Greer, Chief Inspector of Public and Separate Schools for Ontario, and Mr. Chisholm, assistant Chief Inspector on February 14th. V Dr. S. B. Sinclair, Director of Auxiliary Class- es for Ontario, gave us much valuable informa- tion on this important subject. After the organization of our junior Red Cross, Dr. Loretto O'Connor spoke to us on the great work done by the association, its ideals, and its hopes for the future. Mr. Trueman of Kemptville Agricultural School showed us the value of rural School Fairs in an interesting address at a meeting of our Literary Society. On April 5, we were honoured with the presence of Rev. Father Lamoureux, principal of the English-French Normal School at Ottawa. Father Lamoureux spoke of some requisites of teachers for their work of character building. Mrs. -I. A. VVilson addressed, the staff and students on the great work done by the League of Nations on April 17iLeague of Nations' Day. Dr. S. A. Morgan, Director of Professional Schools of Ontario, spoke to us and showed us the great future that awaits the teacher of to-day. His humour and his sound advice completely won his audience. Dr. Dandeno, Director of Elementary Agricul- ture, spoke to the students on May 18. Hon. H. H. Stevens, M.P., of Vancouver, gave an eloquent and inspiring address on Empire Day. 'N Better Sfudenfy Do you think we would be better students lf we didn't talk in the hall, If we looked at our friends as we passed 'em, And never said nothin'-a-tall? Do you think we would be better students, If we never came in late, But waited outside for the signal, Like sheep to be led through a gate? Do you think we would be better students If we never laughed or chewed gum, If we were never too sick to study , And never looked sleepy or dumb ? Do you think we would be better students, If we sat on the very front row, If we gave you our earnest attention: Never thought of a date or a show? Do you think we would be better students, If we never used powder and paint, lf we always wore long dresses, And never looked what we ain't? Then-we'll try to be better students, Calm, noble, stately and stern, But remember we're only students, And we're most happy to learn. llll
