OTTAWA NORMAL SCHOOL YEAR BOOK P59 1928 The Litemry Society ARLY in October preliminary steps were taken towards the formation of the Literary Society for 1927-28. Mr. Smith, as part of his course in Civics, explained fully to the sections the various details of nomination and election proceedings, and both these were carried through by the students strictly in accordance with the procedure em- ployed in provincial and federal elections. The society as such met for the first time on October 28th, and in that meeting was kindled an interest that steadily increased as the year advanced. Proof of this was seen in the excel- lent support given by the student body generally in the various meetings that followed, and the resulting activities did much to unite the mem- bers of the different sections in the bonds of friendship and goodwill. The special value of the Literary in this respect can be more clearly realized when it is remembered that in the regular routine of school work little opportunity is afforded the members of any one group to be- come acquainted with their fellows in other sections. The value of the Literary in this respect was pre-eminent. In addition to the regular programs presented from week to week, three interesting debates under charge of Mr. Black were held during this term. The first was between Sections One and Two, the second between Sections Three Four, and the third between Sections Five Six. Sections One, Four, and Six were winners in the respective events. During this term a good deal of literary, oratorical and musical ability was brought to light and these discoveries proved a distinct advantage to future executives. This term saw also the beginning of the school paper, Echoes of Normal School Life, and the reading of this paper became one of the most popular features of the programs from week to week. The officers for the term were:- and and the President .............,........ MR. HILL First Vice-President ........... , .Miss ALLISON Second Vice-President ........... Miss RATHNVELL Secretary, .....,........ .,.. . Miss Dofxx Treasurer ......,.,,............ Miss I.. BURNS Counsellor. .................... Miss CUFFORD The final meeting under this executive was held on January 13th, when the nominations were held for the incoming executive of the second term. On the following Friday, January 20th, the election took place, resulting as follows:- President ........... . ...,....,, Miss EASTON First Vice-President .,........... MR. BLACK Second Vice-President .....,...., Miss MARJORIE ROBERTSON Secretary.. . . ...,..,.... ...,. M Rs. Trxnvis Treasurer ....... . . . . ,.,.. Miss KINGSTON Counsellor.. . .,,.. Miss IRVING The high standard set by the oliicers of the first executive was sustained throughout by those of the second term. There was one debate, between Sections Six and Seven, in which the representatives of Section Six were the winners. This debate was under the charge of Mr. Dalton. An outstanding feature of this term was the junior Red Cross program given by the boys of Mr. Ault's room on March 9th. The excellence of this performance was a revelation to the students in respect to the possibilities for training afforded by an up-to-date junior Red Cross Society and drew a well-deserved expression of appreciation from the president of the society. At another meeting, Mr. Trueman, of the Kemptville Agricultural School, gave an inter- esting and instructive address on the teaching of agriculture in elementary schools. The last meeting of this term took place on March 16th, when nominations for the executive of the third term were held. The elections followed, immediately and resulted as follows: President ,......,.... . .... . ..., Miss Rxrnwizu. First Vice-President ..... .... lv Iiss PHILLIPS Second Vice-President. .. . . . .Miss Doizorux' iN'IACDO 1ALD Secretary. ...., . . . . . ,Miss Cow.-xx Treasurer. .. ....... , ......,.,.. Miss Hosni Counsellor. . .......,..... . .,... MR. SMlTH The outstanding programs of this term were the presentation of the HTrial Scene under the direction of Miss Clifford, and the two debates, being the semi-final and the final of the series. Mr. Stirtan was in charge of this part of the work for the term. The semi-final was between sections One and Four. In this Section Four was the winner. This decision left Sections Four and Six as contestants for the final honours. This debate took place on May 18th and resulted in a victory for Section Six,whose representatives, Miss Monahan and Miss Rathwell, thus won the school championship for the year and gained the honour of having their names engraved on the school shield. A pleasing feature all through the three terms was the good work of the students who were appointed to act as critics from meeting to meeting. The criticisms, alinost without excep- tion, were constructive, to the point, and ex- pressed in excellent language. The memories of the Literary meetings will be among the most pleasant recollections carried away from the school by the students of 1927-28. H.W.K. l25l

To the Students HE year 1927-28 is drawing to a close and you are going forth to join the great band of graduates of the O.N.S. who, in Eastern Ontario and elsewhere, are holding aloft the torch of learning in the primary schools. VVe wish you God Speed in that great task. You have been described by staff and critic teachers alike as the best class we have ever taught. This high praise has been won, not only by the quality of your teaching, but also by the spirit that you have shown in the classroom and on the campus. VVe are confident that you will approach your new duties with the same energy and perseverance, the same loyalty to the profession and its traditions, and the same high ideals that have marked you at O.N.S. Your pupils in turn will learn- To set the cause above the price, To love the game beyond renown, To honour while you strike him down, The foe who comes with fearless eyes: To count the life of battle good, And dear the land that gave us birth, And dearer still the heritage, That binds the brave of all the earth. VVhen discouragement, disappointment and failure come, as they come inevitably to all who follow the difficult rather than the easy path, you, too, will remember- VVe fall to rise, are baflied to hght better. Sleep to wake. THIS STAFF. Song to May 'Tis you, O May, that I sing to now, As you come with wreathes of flowers on your brow: With your bright green dress all flecked with gold, While smiles your own sweet face enfoldg Yes! dear maiden, I sing to you. You've called once more to the whip-poor-will, And given a voice to the mountain rill, You've filled the pools with the piper throng, And Hooded the waking woods with song: You've brought the buzz of the honey bee, With dainty feet all wet with the dew, Sweet maid! You have stirred my pulses through As I see all the wondrous things you do, And my spirit is wafted from this old earth To soar through the azure in childlike mirth. You make me forget the cares of the day, Bright and beautiful month of May. And decked in robes the leafless tree. M. ALDYTH DAVIS. l27l
