OTTAWA NORMAL SCHOOL YEAR BOOK awe 1928 SECTION IV-Continued We do not lack talent. If Chopin could hear Miss Barkley play, he would say f'That is what I wanted to express when I wrote that. If our Honourable Members heard Miss Chant speaking of the St. Lawrence VVaterway problem, the difficulty would be settled without further argument. Our literary efforts met with success, as the critic made special mention of the paper put on by our members. Credit should be given Miss Doyle for collecting the material. Our executive ability was shown when Miss Brunette conducted the first Literary Meeting. A worthy section, truly! We have lived for the most part of the time in the same room, we have worked over the same problems, we have laughed at the same mistakes. Living, working, laughing together, surely these cement true friendships. It has been said that we make our life-long friends at school. May it be so with us! Vile shall separate shortly, but we shall always have a kindly feeling towards the staff and school. May we meet again some time, if not as a section, as individual friends. EFFIE COWAN. SECTION V of '28 IN REMEMBRANCE Sing a song of school days, This year is almost past. And we'll all be school-mams- More or less-at last. f Sing of kindly Masters, Notes and lessons toog Sing of Critic Teachers, Here to help us through. Section V will send you Many a backward thought Next year when we're striving To do first what we ought. Stay with us and help Here, we've learned some theory, Had. some practice, too, In the art of teaching, Watched what others do. Then may next September Bring schools of our own, And may each remember All that we've been shown! May the friendships fostered By this Normal year, And the fine example Of the Masters here, LIS So to mould our fate, That all may proudly think of Section V of '28. SECTION VI OU are now to be introduced to the most promising, illustrious, yet humble section of the Ottawa Normal School. Section VI gained its fame principally through its efforts in Advanced Reading. Our striking interpretations of Herve Riel, Lady Macbeth and other historical characters, would astound you. We are weeping sirens, grotesque villains, demure gallants, and roaring cannons at one and the same time. Consider the glorious literary future of our Canadian children. But this is not our only outstanding character- istic. We have had the most successful debaters of the year-to say nothing of our musically talented. When we met the first day of school, brown eyes looked in a questioning way into blue ones, which seemed to repeat the same mysterious questions- who ?, where ?, why ? -but little did we expect that out of the labyrinth of faces, the most congenial, true, interesting, and pro- gressive girls should come to Section VI. VVe had the honour of having the President of the Literary Society, for the third term, chosen from among us, as well as several other nominees for the various offices. In conclusion, we trust that each one of us will be successful in her year's work, and we know that when our Principal wants a trust- worthy, inspiring teacher, he will look up the addresses of the girls of Section S-ix.
