OTTAWA NORMAL SCHOOL YEAR BOOK GNN? 1928 SECTION II-Continued To all Hygiene Classes we leave the well- filled Bulletin Board, countless pamphlets and posters, hoping with their aid that the coming students will become as thorougly acquainted with their work in this line as we have. To the History Classes we leave the beautiful Castle and Sunset which brought us the glory of a prize. To the Science Classes we bequeath the caged tadpoles. We trust that the tails will not be entirely absorbed by the time the juvenile students appear next Fall. To the Literature Classes, we leave the pictures of Hope , the Private of the Buffs and the Shakespearean plays. We trust the voices of the future students will cause the class room to resound with the same emotional ele- ments as were introduced by ourselves. To the School Management Class we bequeath the fine ventilation system, the harmonious colours of the class-room and the solicitous en- quiries of the master himself lHow it saddens our hearts to leave him behindlj. Lastly! We hereby revoke all wills hitherto made. Those who constitute the sad failures of Sections I, III, IV, V, VI, VII, we appoint as executors of this, our last Will and Testament. Signed and sealed by Section II. MAY BELLE KOEN. SECTION III Have you not heard of Section III, A section as busy as any beeg A section loved by masters all, Admired by critics, short and tall? T is with great pleasure that we venture to chronicle the doings of our illustrious form since that day in September when it first came into existence. Many eventful days have gone by since then, not least among them that Thursday in November, when for the first time we grappled with the problem of extracting from, and injecting into, the minds of young innocents strange somethings called 'fideas . I think we may say, without any exaggeration, that we have one of the best singers in the school, who, during the year, has delighted and charmed the student body with her solos. VVe also have a pianist of no mean ability, and, whenever any real music is desired, Section III comes to the rescue. We have produced two orators of fiery zeal, and, although they have had the privilege of appearing in only one debate, that fact merely testifies to the skill of their opponents. Our section is a mixed one, our constituents being twenty-three girls and eight men. Con- sequently, we were well and favourably repre- sented on the Hockey Team, and I have no -doubt that it was the skill and wonderful athletic ability of our boys which made the team victorious. Vile have further aided the student body by contributing the first President of the Literary Society, who paved the way for his successors, we have also supplied a Secretary, and, at the present time, it is one of our number who is chairman of the debating committee. To our teachers, we wish to extend our deepest gratitude for their patient help in time of difficulty. They were ever ready and willing to help us and spur us on to success, and, in the years to come, when we have reached the upper- most rung of life's ladder, we shall look back with pleasant memories to our year spent at the O.N.S. Now the year will soon be over and the inevi- table parting draws near. We, the brightest minds in Eastern Ontario , must each go out to do our very best to train the pupils who are entrusted to our care, and ever be a bright and shining example for their young lives. The students of Section III extend best wishes to their fellow-workers and wish them every success in their future work. If Canada wishes her children fair, To study under especial care, She should employ throughout the land Teachers from this Section grand. EDNA SAUNDERS. SECTION IV E, as our number suggests, are the happy mediums of the Ottawa Normal ' School, we neither worked too little, as our teaching marks prove, nor too much as we are daily assured. As we are the largest section in the school, and as we are all girls, is it any wonder we won the name ofthe noisy section P But then, perhaps no other section had such brilliant, unexpected ideas to impart to their friends. Having earned that name, we learned that a bad reputation was hard to live down, a good one harder to live up to: but we are now striving to maintain the latter. i171
