Robinson As a token of appreciation by the Student Body. 1925-26 Autographs Students of 1925-26 /N A VERY SHORT TIME your school days will be ouer. With the opening of the new school year many of you will find yourselves in charge of classes throughout the province. This new experience will doubtless be interesting to you. This interest may be only temporary or it may be permanent. If you allow yourselves to follow the path of least resistance, doing just enough to get by, putting off your work and thus letting it accumulate, you will soon find that first t steadily decreasing. You will find the time drag; you will work with your eyes on the clock; work will become drudgery and failure will surely result. If, on the other hand, you strive to do your work to the best of your ability, always keeping all departments of the work up to date, even doing the little extras not necessarily demanded of you, always coming before your pupils with work thoroughly prepared, you will find that first interest in the work steadily increasing and becoming more and more permanent. You will find the time all too short; you will lose yourself in your work and success will ately be.yours. mid like to impress upon you the importance of giving your best attention to details. Re- nber that The long race is made up of many steps, that life is the sum total of a mass of details. "If you would have a high ideal for life as a whole, you must have a high ideal for each of its parts . If you would attain your high ambition for ultimate success you must set a high standard for each of the tasks by which it is reached. There is no'better way to increase your capacity in any line of endeavour than to set yourself a definite standard of achievement in every task and then bend every energy toward reaching that standard. One should always do his best, but that best will be a great deal better if it is a definitely determined ideal both as to quantity and quality of attainment. Com- ; of releasing unsuspected abilities. Know just what your best competitor can do. â¢nd then do a little better. Know just what your own best is and then excel it. The only way continuously to increase your capacity is by always doing a little better than your best. Standards are ideals iurable formâthey are the steps by which we climb to higher achievement. Only by these ) the greatest heights of will, character, and success." D. M. ROBINSON.

THE BRITISH COLUMBIA TEACHERS' FEDERATION EXTENDS ITS CONGRATULATIONS TO THE "1926" GRADUATES OF THE VANCOUVER NORMAL SCHOOL, AND CORDIALLY INVITES EACH ONE TO BECOME A MEMBER OF THE TEACHERS' PROVINCIAL ORGANIZATION. ALL WHO MAKE APPLICATION WHILE AT THE SCHOOL WILL BE ENROLLED IMMEDIATELY AS "STUDENT MEMBERS" WITHOUT PAYMENT OF ANY FEE, AND WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO FULL MEMBERSHIP UPON COMMENCING ACTIVE TEACHING AND UPON THE PAYMENT OF ONE-HALF THE REGULAR FEDERATION FEES. Further information may be obtained from HARRY CHARLESWORTH General Secretary, 410 CAMPBELL BUILDING VICTORIA, B. C. FOREWORD THE Class of 1926 is now at the end of its Normal career. This, to many, means a severance of training, to others a stepping stone to further training, but to all. a definite period of life, because success and failure as Normal Students now stand revealed. One short year ago we placed ourselves under the guidance of broad-minded teachers of supposedly simple subjects. From these teachers, and from an 'intensive study of surprisingly difficult subjects, came a great deal of the influence which made for the personality and character of each future teacher. Normal School associations revealed to each other our individual talents, led to a severe self- appraisal and brought a conscious appreciation of our fellow-beings which gives to one that great boon, liberality. The success which crowns a Normal Course is due, for the most part, to our own efforts, but the cherished memories of life here are only possible by the spirit of comradeship and co-operation which characterized the work of the year now closed. On entering the world, one duty that must be fulfilled is the payment of the debt which every graduate owes to the people of British Columbia. The question arises as to how that debt might best be paid. This coming September we shall go to city or town to teach and also to make or mar the ideals and habits of the rising generation. In our inexperienced, but theory-filed hands, rests to a great extent the future of Canada. We will fulfil this great trust if we have schooled ourselves in what should be the trinity of every teacher: liberality of mind for understanding of truth, liberality of heart for understanding of service, liberality of will for direction of self.

Several athletes deserve mention: May Cornwall, Thelma Duthie, and Mona Cunnings. First prize tor table decorations was wen through the work of Miss Harford and Miss Desrosiers. At the Spring Track Meet Class III. again turned out in force, though this time their most successful efforts were centered in the lusty yells from the balcony. The play "Pandora," given at cue of the Lits., was so good that we do not need to sing its praises here, beyond pointing out once more the high standard it set, due to the sincere efforts of those participating. Class III. is proud to have two prominent members of the Orchestra in its midst: Miss Marion Crossland, the leading violinist, and Miss Eveline Desrosiers, the pianist during the Spring term. An account of our activities would not be complete without mentioning the class parties held this year. These, two in number, one held in the school gymnasium and the other in the Winter Garden, were well attended, and successful under the management of Miss Goebert. Class III. has more than held its own in presenting to the school a talented debater, Miss Day. "Gertie" was chosen to uphold the honor of Vancouver Normal by debating with Miss M. Smith against Victoria. Although they did not win, we know from their work on our own platform, that they defended the Affirmative very ablv. MISS ENGLISH .Endeared to all by her kindness and her pleasant smile is ML.. English, secretary-treasurer of the Normal School. Nothing is too much trouble for herâwhether it be the loan of a postage stamp or a typewriter. Her capacity for work ranges from sorting out lesson "crits," finding lost articles, taking phone calls, and what not, to making mysterious mimeograph copies and stencils for our use in our labors among the young and promising. In her unoccupied moments, Miss English forgets her troubles and responsibilities by indulging in the gentle art of skating, preferably at the Arena, and didn't we see her one morning with an armload MR.

Did we have a good time at Class IV.'s child's party? If noise could speak we must have had. Mrs. Richards kindly offered her home and we became children "just: for to-night." We have an actress in our midst by the name of Miss Lanyon. Did she not prove this on the afternoon which was devoted to Stephen Leycoek? We must not close without giving Miss Virginia Moore favourable mention. Are we not honoured in having the Editor-in-Chief of the Annual a member of our class, and who could have filled it more efficiently? We hope the willingness to do and the co-operation which has been shown this year, will be carried through life. If so, there is no doubt of success. CENSUS REPORT, 1940 .

The Literary staged by Class IV., though now dusty with time in the Normal Annals of 1925-6, will nevertheless be remembered long by all who had the pleasure of being present at it. The programme opened with some vocal numbers by Miss Kitty Laughlin. A novel item was Indian club swinging by Miss Jay Mennie. The singing of Miss Gladys Morden, which followed, cannot be praised too highly, and was much enjoyed and appreciated by the audience. The last and main item was a humorous sketch under the name of "Sewing for the Heathen." The production entailed much hard work for those taking part, and CLASS V. of the most ke< lat of Class V. fc thr Jame 'ell i well ed i efforts, r solos. Class Five's quartette of Grimmett, McNish, Terry, followed with the "Gosling Chorus." Then a'chalk talk by Harris soon had the audience well worked up, due largely to his portrayal of faces familiar to Normalites. A mandolin trio composed of Fullerton, Mitton, and Myers, projected themselves into the future and "recalled" many popular songs and dances of today. To complete the programme a darkey sextette composed of Flather, Fletcher, Gourlay, Inglis, Johnson and Selman introduced themselves in a "Flat Tire" act, which was much enjoyed. CLASS VI. On the last meeting before Christmas, Class VI. made a special effort to impart a seasonable atmosphere to the programme. Swinging lanterns and carolling gaily, a band of "waits" came in the darkness, to sing in front of an old- fashioned house. After these had given their message 01 cheer, Miss McColl and Miss McDevitt gave a clever and graceful interpretation of a Spanish dance. Next,( to preserve the spirit of Christmas engendered by the "waits, Miss Pack gave a well rendered reading from Dickens' "A Christmas .Carol," thus completing the first part of the Miss B. Palmer, was the Student. Lured by the personified Temptations and Frivolities of life, the Student forgot the menace' of Examinations and incurred the wrath of her erratic husband.

Thompson CLASS VII LITERARY PROGRAMME On Friday afternoon, January .22, the student body assembled in the auditorium for the first meeting of the Spring Literary Society. The programme was in the hands of Class Seven. The first item, a chorus by six girls, was very well rendered. Miss Dorothy Stokes, dressed in costume, ably recited the well-known reading, "So Was I." This was followed by a vocal duet by the Misses Violet and Grace Wray. The dramatization of the "Sleeping Beauty" was daintily portrayed .and received hearty applause from the audience. Our school orchestra then rendered a selection from "Faust." A clever feature of the programme was a playlet entitled "The Maker of Dreams." The three roles were well presented by Miss A. Wright, Miss Wallace and Miss M. Smith. DR. CLAYTON'S LECTURE PEACE AND FREEDOM We listened to an authority when we heard Dr. Clayton, The speaker for the first half of the meeting w is Mrs. commanding officer of the Canadian Army Dental Service Teeples, representing the Women's International Le< gue of speak on "Deficiency Foods and the Teeth," or "Hygiene Peace and Freedom. Her speech was uplift-in g and in Relation to the Teeth." Perhaps the most interesting point of Dr. Clayton's The second half of the meeting was given over to the talk was the description of an experiment carried on with Orchestra, which rendered ten snort fragments tr nn ten guinea pigs and how it proved the superior food value of of the best and most representative ot the Grand Jperas. raw milk compared with pasteurized milk.

At last we approach Jerusalem, and as we enter the city we consider the interest that it holds for Christians, Mohammedans, and Hebrews alike. Palestine is the birthplace of the three great religions of the world. For the Christian, it is the scene of the life and crucifixion of Christ. For the Mohammedan, the city is the resting place of the Holy of Holies from the Temple of Solomon. For the Hebrews, it is the site of "The Temple." There are three structures within the walls of the city, one associated with each of these religions: the Christians' Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Mohammedans' Mosque of Omar, and the Jews' Wall of Wailing. ted.

S. Logie, whose quiet sincerity of manner and his most interesting subject won for him an unusually attentive audience. He gave such valuable material that we feel it will be of great use to ns when we go out to teach. To help in preserving it in this Annual for that purpose, we present not a description or editorial comment on his talk, but an analysis of its subject, "The Okanagan Indians." 1. Early settlers of the Okanagan Valley: a. Indians. b. Pur-traders. c. Minersâthe gold rush. d. Cattlemen. e. Fruit barons. 2. Indians! of Salish or Flathead stock. (At this point the speaker gave the meanings of the Indian names of various places in the vicinity.) 3. Languages: a. Okanagan dialect. b. Chinook jargon, originated about 1806. 4. Houses: a. In summerâmade of skins or grass. b. In winterâunderground. 5. Food: Salmon, trout, deer, ground hog, berries, bulbs. 6. Cooking: In baskets or in birch bark vessels by use of red hot stones dropped into the water, permitting cookery by steaming or by boiling. 7. Weapons: . Bow and a . Clothing materials: ! Skins b. Woven of sheep or goat hair, made from sage brush. 9. Culture: a. Artârock paintings, basketry (no pottery). b. Religionâgood god Cha-cha, bad god Skyappe. 10. Legends: a. Of the FloodâThat the goddess Scomalt, in anger, sent a flood from which a man and a woman escaped in a canoe and gave birth to the Okanagan tribe. b. Of the SalmonâMr. Coyote's wooing. That in his silly rage at his lack of success he blocked the stream by " i rocks into it. I Of t . Of -That the loser of gambling with a beaver tooth, jumped into the lake laughing. i India e. Of the SuckerâThat a ladder of arrows which permitted war between earth and heaven broke and let the creatures of earth fall. The birds flew, the animals landed on their tails, the sucker landed on a rock and was pretty badly smashed up. f. Of the Sea-serpentâNamed Nu-hee-hee-no-hick. Is still a mystery. g. Of the Antâwho in hunger pulled his belt tighter and tighter until there was no more belt left. 11. History: David Thompson and his party first saw the Okanagan Valley at 9 :00 a.m. on July 6, 1811. To close his very interesting talk, Mr. Logie gave us a prize of rare beautyâan Okanagan Indian lullaby, which he recited in a very quiet and rhythmic tone of voice. It was so beautiful that it held the roomful of students in rapt attention. We thank Mr. Logie very much; it was an hour of pleasure and of cultural value. AN OKANAGAN INDIAN LULLABY.

Seven Good Habits" which he had mentioned on the previous occasion. The second talk was even more interesting than the first. NATURE AND MAN Nature is man's greatest teacher, his greatest mn to culture. Long before any of the arts and science! come into existence, Nature featured prominently i daily life.

The decoration committee was seriously handicapped by a basketball game earlier in the evening, but a pretty canopy of pink and blue streamers gave the scene a festive air. There was an excellent attendance and good music, which resulted in us having a splendid Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Robinson kindly consented to act as patronesses while Mr. Martin and Mr. Robinson represented the staff.

One of the most enjoyable Literary entertainments was an hour of rhythmic work suitable for public school concerts, given under Miss Coney's direction. "The Song of the Reapers" and "The Harebell Song" were given by the girls of Class II. A great deal of credit is due to the six girls of Class III. for the impressive way in II Trovatore," Normandie," "Orpheus have undoubtedly been embers were: â¢d from Class II., Miss a Class III., Miss Hay Inglis, Mr. Terry, Mr. , all from Class V.

The musical interpretation of "Hansel and Gretel," also by Class III., was very well portrayed by Miss Demmery and Miss Erlendson. In their dainty frocks the girls of Class IV. very effectively performed the rhythmic work in connection with Schumann's "Rondo," and were also responsible for a tableau depicting Mother Goose characters. Miss McDevitt and Miss McColl of Class VI., in their early Victorian costumes, very gracefully danced the "French Minuet." A song, "White Caps," was another very pleasing part of the class contribution. The remaining items were given by Class VII. The first, a song, "Where are you going, my pretty maid?" sung by Miss Steele and Miss Wallace, and the second, a very pretty "Gavotte," presented by Miss Thorsteinson and Miss Woodside. The programme closed with "II Trovatore," by the Orchestra. MISS CONEY "Music is well said to be the speech of angels.' Miss Coney is a teacher who works and smiles.

This team made an exceptionally fine showing, losing but two games in,the entire season; the first being lost by one point and the other by two. Several games outside of the league were played, some of which were Rowing Club Int. A, Trinity Senior B, and Province Bluebirds. For the first time in the history of the school, a team carried the Normal colors into the Okanagan, playing and winning two gamesâone against the Snmmerland Seniors, the other against Penticton Int. A. In both places the boys were well received and royally entertained. The only accident suffered.was in the last game against Ex-North Vancouver High, when McLuckie had the misfortune to sprain his ankle and tear the tendons in his leg.

SPRING TERM ATHLETIC EXECUTIVE At a meeting of the Student Body held in the Assembly on Friday, January 8th, the following athletic executive was elected to hold office during the spring term of '26: President Mr. Ernest, Lee Vice-President Miss Margaret McLeod Secretary Miss Margaret Taylor Each class later held a class meeting in their respective rooms, when they elected these representatives: Class II Miss Patricia Archer Class III Miss Thelma Duthie. Class IV Miss Mary Mitchell Class V Mr. Roy King Class VI Miss Jean MacFarlane Class VII Miss Margaret Walker THE INDOOR SPRING TERM TRACK MEET The evening of February 26th was the safety valve for the pent-up enthusiasm of Normal students. Assembling at 7 :30 in the gymnasium, they displayed their prowess m potato races, relay races, needle-and-thread races, sack races, three-legged races, obstacle races and tug-of-wars. At the end of the events, when points were totaled, Class II. emerged victorious. The five-minute performances which each class contributed, were the embodiment of clever wit, and were considered the most entertaining part of the programme. They were as follows: A burlesque dramatization of Young Lochinvar by Class II. A five-minute table by a group of contortionists from Class III. A complete and laughable circus, presented by Class IV., won amongst the competitors. Class V. skillfully portrayed a tournament in progress. A clever parody, "The House that Health Built," by Class VI., proved interesting. The members of Class VII. gave an amusing blindfolded drill. A basketball game afforded a study in contrasts. Tall girls faithfully checked small boys not yet out of dresses. After a struggle that proved entertaining from the spectators' viewpoint, the 'boys were victorious. When the events were concluded, a supper was served in the girls' dining-room. The gaily decorated tables and the merry throng formed a colorful picture. At the close of the banquet, pennants were presented to the winning classes. Homeward bound, -tired and happy, the students all agreed that the evening was, to use the vernacular, "a knockout."

THE OUTDOOR TRACK MEET The Normal School held their Outdoor Track Meet at Brockton Point on May 7, commencing at 1:30 p.m. The weather was fine and, as a result, the whole school turned out in a body. The events were in charge of the Staff and the Athletic Committee. Although the contestants were not in very good condition, there was keen rivalry shown throughout the entire afternoon. Of the events the Relay races afforded special attraction. Each was closely contested, the result being in doubt until the tape was reached. The winning teams were composed of: layâ"Babe" Walker, Margaret Walker, Mai and Hazel Young. Boys' RelaysâQuarter-Mile: Henry, Myers, Noble and Johnson. Half-Mile: Rathie, Johnson, Noble, Myers, Henry and Herd. "Babe" Walker won the Girls' individual championship with a total of 20 points. She won each of her events besides being a member of the winning relay teams. Herd and Henry were tied for the Boys' championship with 22 points each. Myers was a close second for these honors with 20 points. Class VII. secured the pennant for the Class championship with 33 points. Their closest rivals were Class VI. with 14 points.
