It is indeed so in the case of the student body of 1930-'31. We have made many friends amongst the students andâmore than thatâwe sincerely hope, indeed believe.that we have all found friends in the Normal School Staff. For their kindly advice and criticism, their help in their respective departments and their evident enthusiasm in all our work, we extend our heartiest thanks. We feel sure that they will receive visits from the students when they are in town, so we will say "Au revoir"ânot "Good-Bye." MR. ROBINSON Those of us who thought we knew the essentials of English grammar soon realized our lack of knowledge when Never hard to find, always ready to give assistance in planning lessons, to give a kindly word of reproof when necessary or a helpful bit of encouragement to the disappointed âis it little wonder that the class of 1930-'31 hold Mr. Robinson in deep respect.

MACLENNAN If any of the instructors at the P.N.S. tried to pass on to us the "joie de vivre," it was certainly Miss Jones. Whether in gym, playing games, or mastering dances; in class, discussing health rules, or at the various social functions, Miss Jones always had that sparkling vivacity which endeared her to all of us the first time we met her. We hope that Miss Jones will carry with her pleasant memories of this class of 1930-'31, and that she mav have much happiness and M. E.

I caught a sunbeam, twirled and shaped It to a shining golden ball, And tossed it up; it hung, it whirled Mv sun, my moon, my twinkling stars. The rainbow flung its golden arc Across the castle's dew-drop moats. Inside the keep, deep, hidden, dark, I secreted my dreams, my hopes.

WESTON Many of the students who had firmly believed that drawing was beyond their reach, developed a fair amount of skill under the able guidance of Mr. Weston, while those who were particularly talented in this branch, made rapid progress. But like the true teacher, Mr. Weston had other interests, badminton and hiking being his specialties. The frequent requests, "How is Mr. Weston?" and "When is Mr. Weston coming back ?" heard throughout his illness,â are sufficient proof of the regard in which the student body hold their drawing instructor. "First a snowdrop I will bring, Then the daffodil of spring. Pitter-patter, Pitter-patter. Violets will follow soon, And a cherry tree in bloom. Just-a-shower, Just-a-shower.

Probably the most significant event was the revival of rugby. The team surprised rugby remained the centre of interest until the last game was played. Other sports were by no means neglected, and hockey and basketball, always prominent activities, engaged the attention of a large number of enthusiastic players. The hockey team was especially successful, as, under the able direction of Mr. Anstey, they finished third in the Women's >all and tennis. There as were very well received.

The hockey team also proved successful at Victoria, defeating Victoria Normal 12-0. Hockey competition was not confined to the major team, for in February a house league was established. Class IV, having the advantage of seven team members, came out on top, while Class VI finished second. Through this league many girls learned the rudiments of hockey and, we hope, they will put them into practice in their own Much of the success of hockey has been due to the untiring efforts and encouragement of our coach, Mr. Anstey, who was present at all the games, ready to referee and help. His advice and coaching were appreciated by all and we are confident that it was owing to his efforts that Normal had the best hockey team in the history of the school.

The 1 sisting of a large number of comparative newcc game, and some who were handling a rugby first time, put up a magnificent, though unorg; against the more experienced Tech team. Tl e Fifty a lossâ3 to 0âbut V jui dot ort, worthy of an equal place with n later games the golden Normal rest came to mean to its opponents a hard-tackling game vith many a bump and not a few thrills involved. The success of the team lay largely in its sound team ilay and marvellous fighting qualities. The forwards ex- elled in quick-smothering tactics, and the threes in close ackling. The Normal squad was known throughout the eague as the hardest-tackling group of them all. Deter- nination and stiff, clean play won, where spectacular individual efforts might have failed. At the close of the first half of the season, when the earn was beginning to function together, Normal finished . scant 2 points behind the leaders. Throughout the last lalf Normal played with even greater success. After fal- ering in the first game against Tech, the team combined irilliantly to win their remaining games in decisive fashion. Jnfortunately, because of unfavorable ground conditions, he regular schedule could not be maintained, and match >lay was not continued. Thus, through sheer rugged determination, the Normal ugby team not only took its place beside older, more :xperienced teams, but, in its first vear of play as a unit, â¢ame within an ace of leading them all.

On the pages of the following section of the Annual are to be found accounts of our literary activities. Many interesting programmes have been presented this year by the students, who are indebted to the members of the staff for much help and encouragement. The poems, descriptions, and stories which are to be found in the Annual, have been written by the students themselves. Mr. Macintosh has been very kind in helping with the choice of selections. Without such encouragement, many students would doubtless have failed to realize the powers which lie dormant within themselves. Through the study of good literature we gain appreciation, and through the true recording of our inmost thoughts and observations we mav rise to greater heights than we have ever dreamed of. LITERARY SOCIETY The Literary Society of the Vancouver Nc exceptions, every fortnight, for the past nine students have gathered in the Auditorium 1 talent of their fellow students. The programmes for the Fall Term we: under the leadership of the following offic McAllister, President; Miss E. Armstrong, Vice-President; Miss R. Storey, Secretary. These programmes were miscellaneous in nature, including several piano solos, songs, numerous recitations, and two humorous sketches entitled "Over the Teacups" and "Cupid in the Kitchen." The work of the Spring Term was ably carried on by the new Executive including the following officers: Mr. H. Libby. President: Mr. R. McCormick, Vice-President; Miss B. Cline, Secretary. The programmes of the Spring Term were under the auspices of individual classes and were topical in type. An exceptionally fine Indian Programme was presented by Class I and a Canadian Authors Programme by Class IV. The other programmes were dramatic in form, including a Comparison of Past and Present, an Operetta, a Mock Trial and a sketch "The Trysting Place." A spirited debate was held on April 7th. The subject: "Resolved that the present method of buying on the installment plan is beneficial."

Mr. Ferguson presented the first arguments in favor of the system in the light of its economic value. He stressed especially the advantages of this system in regard to mass production, citing figures to substantiate his statements. His manner was pleasingly quiet and straightforward. Miss MacLeod spoke next for the negative. She brought out the social disadvantagesâmental, moral and ethical. Her quiet reassuring tone carried conviction. Next in the fray came Miss Bessie Moore whose introduction at once secured the attention of her audience. She maintained that the system had stood the test of time and hence was here to stay. Moreover it led to social well- being and happiness. Mr. McCormick .the last speaker, literally took the audience bv storm.

His magic lantern slides with their beautiful lighting effects were well received. MR. MUNRO Mr. Munro, Chief Migratory Birds Officer for Western Canada, presented an illustrated lecture on the birds common to B. C. His talk and slides were of great educational value and interest. MISS McLELLAND Miss McLelland on a tour from Toronto for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind spoke on the care of the eyes. Her two lectures, illustrated by "before and after" pictures, appealed to the Normal students. REV. A. E. THOMAS given by the Rev. A. E. Thomas in the Spring term. He presented the facts for and against the use of intoxicants in a manner which at once caught and held the attention MR W. LAING On -May 18th Mr. F. W. Laing of the Department of Agriculture addressed the student body on his trip through the Peace River District. His beautiful illustrations and the wealth of detail derived from personal experience greatly appealed to the imagination and adventuresome spirit of the students.

And I was going to get up early and do a lot of work on that story. Wish I'd started it earlier in the week . . . Mmmm. . . . Gee, that was a good dance last night!"

Perhaps he'd better stick to a storv. But what to write about? That was the puzzle. Why couldn't he remember the plot he'd thought up yesterday? Finally he gave up in disgust. Seizing his hat he started for a walk hoping the fresh air and motion would stimulate his memory. He must recall that plot. It was too good to lose.

Don't you think that there has long existed a natural bond of sympathy between Canada and France?

Our province was among the last to be discovered and explored. Mountains are great barriers and for many years British Columbia was almost cut off from the rest of Canada by the magnificent Rocky Mountains. The Indians knew British Columbia.

Calgary is charmingly situated near the junction of the Bow and Elbow rivers: it is here that the west-bound tourist usually gains his first glimpses of the snow-crowned Rockies, gleaming through the sunshine in a clear, transparent atmosphere, and dominating intervening tiers of foothills, which gradually rise to meet them. I shall always remember the thrill of pleasure which this vision gave me, as there are very few sights which rouse in me that exultation and delight which I invariably feel in the presence of majestic mountains domed with snow. Journeying from Calgary up the border of the rapidl) descending Bow, we soon arrived at the opening through which the train makes its exit from the Rockiesâ a narrow cleft in their grim bastions called concisely, though unmusi- iring the well km small boat struggling in the trough of a stupendous sea. : rangesâthe eastern- itle of the "Rockies"; iesâthe this natural ' Mo supremacy, their ice-capped summits in the sparkling air. The nucleus of this enchanting section of Canada is Banff, famous both as a health and pleasure resort of great attractiveness. The railway ride from Banff to the Pacific is one of which detailed description is almost impossible. The beauties disclosed are almost beyond word painting; imagine a tempestuous ocean, whose surges, at the moment of their wildest tossing, have been transformed into mountains. A petrified ocean whose monstrous billows now stand motionless, yet seem forever at the point of breaking out again into their furious agitationâsuch is the impression I obtained from the mountains. Their summits vary in altitude, the lowest are dark with countless evergreens and the higher ones are flecked with frozen foam.

N., Clas VII. Father: "Can I help y Son: "Thanks, Dad, A HOMECOMING slowly along the road to Elgin. In an hour or two it would be dark, yet the pair seemed in no great haste to reach the village before nightfall. The rider was not more than fifty. But though still only in the prime of life he was dying. It was written on his pallid face, in his sunken eyes and hollow cheeks. He was handsome even in his paleness, and his eyes, warm and blue as the summer skies, contrasted strangely with the rest of his face. He was bareheaded, his black hair making his face even paler. He bore himself majestically, proudly. His apparel, of buff velvet and orange satin, was well made, and though now dusty and travel-stained, showed that he was fastidious and particular in his dress. His large cloak hung loosely, but not carelessly, from his shoulders. His hat with its huge plume lay in front of him on his saddle. His thin hands in their buff gauntlets held the reins loosely. Already the sun was beginning to set. The village of Elgin was bathed in its rose-gold loveliness. The thatched roofs of the nearer cottages became golden, the windows flame. Even the roadway itself was bathed in gold. In the distance the church spire was a dark outline against the burnished sky. The trees were rose-tinted, and the small river running past the village was rose and gold. Not far away a tinted flock of sheep passed bleating into the village gate. The stately elms swayed gently in the evening breeze. As the lonely traveller entered the village a faint glow from the setting sun still remained. He passed silently down the main road. On the left was the old smithy where he had played as a child. Further on the village pump, a delight of his boyhood days, and the green where he had watched the morris dancing and the village plays. The houses were all familiar, there was not a new one anywhere. They were all the same wooden buildings with their thatched roofs and their flower beds. The children gazed after him curiously, just as he had peered at travelling strangers years back. And now he had passed the village for the last time. The sunset glow became fainter. A little further he turned into a gateway, mouldy and rusty with decay. He was nearing his old home, and he quickened the horse's gait. The park, once cared for, was now overgrown and wild. A deer gazed timidly from among the trees. The driveway became narrower and full of weeds. At last the old manor house loomed into sight. Its shape was indistinct in the dying sun; but the traveller recognized it, and spurred his horse slightly. His face became almost joyful. He was now at the door. He sprang quickly to the ground, pushed open the decaying door. It creaked loudly. The interior was dim. Grey shapes appeared in many places. These were the pieces of furniture, now dusty, with cobwebs strung from one to another. Everything was indistinct, but the traveller gazed at it lovingly, remembering his happy childhood. He grew weak, dizzy. He could no longer hold himself proudly erect. A faintness came upon him; the objects he gazed upon seemed to float away from him. He sank to the floor. He lay quite still. He was dead. The last golden lights in the west faded out, and purple shadows fell on the little village R. MACKICHAN, Clas IV. HOSIERY AND LINGERIE B.M.

OTSiVERSAL "Look for this label of Quality "Music," wrote Carlyle, "is well said to be the speech of angels." This alone is a good reason for studying and developing a deep appreciation of music. No teacher can hope to have a true cultural and broad education without this appreciation. Everyone can listen to music and draw a little pleasure from it but this pleasure is enhanced if we become intelligent listeners. Our Normal work has helped us along these lines. Music admitted into our lives will make them richer and better. "Those elements are needed which can inspire, which can lift the mind from the sordid things and make clear the possibility of a larger life." This inspiration, this pleasure can truly be perfectly giv ibys "It wakes the soul and lifts it And wings it with sublime des And fits to bespeak the Deity. agh, There is a very simple quotation that I would like vc all to know. It is as follows: "Fine diction makes fii singing." Can we not all try to appreciate that saying, act on it, and to work for it ? ETHEL M. CONEY. MISS CONEY You, Miss Coney, undertook a "real" task when you set out to teach music but now you have triumphed. We have learned our doh-ray-me's, our taa-aatai's and such intervals is lah-fah-ray; but more of us might have passed our sight tests had we taken your advice, and done that "ten minutes" ;very night. Even though we have not learned as much theory as fou would wish, you have given us an appreciative outlook an music. We have learned to listen to classical music and :o sing and enjoy good standard songs. Now, sounds have i new meaning, a diviner grace. Moreover, you have given js the desire to learn more about music. May we in future days follow your example and instil :n the minds of our pupils the wish to work hard and to THE ORCHESTRA "Of course the orchestra will play!" I wonder if those of the Literary Society who so often made this remark, ever thought of the hours of practice which our orchestra put in, in order to give us their best at the various Lits. The orchestra was organized by Miss Coney at the commencement of the Fall term. A capable leader was secured jn the person of Mr. Gibbard (V), while Miss Jean Urquhart proved a most efficient pianist. These, supported by the Misses H. Armstrong, N. Ellis, I. Briggs and Messrs. Harold Harper, Gilmour Clark and Keith Jackson provided very enjoyable selections throughout the year. To them we extend our heartiest thanks for the work they have done and the excellent results they have achieved. ââ_ââ¢__77ze Orchestra-âââ Community Singing At 12:30 o'clock exception of teachin Auditorium for half F.

The Foundation Stone of Design is knowledge of form and drawing. Shun the copyist who turns to an inferior magazine copy instead of looking to the actual thing for inspiration. A student must observe the creations of God, and then, in his own way, record his impressions. This is the only way to create original design. The Artist must extract his motif and weave a pattern that tells his tale. He must store in his memory the forms of Nature. He must be always on the lookout for form and colour.

Sweater and skirt, ensemble and crepe de chine tennis dresses were in high favor. Attractive and collegiate indeed, was the result. Students and their friends made merrv to the strains of Jack Emerson's music. Dancing was in'full swing from 9 to 12 and then came a general exodus towards the cafeteria. Catering had been done by the classes and judging by results they made "a pretty good job of it." Many and varied were the expressions used in summary but the general impression seemed to beâ"the best yet." CLASSES IV AND V PARTY FridayâMarch 13thâblack cats, down-turned horseshoes, and other omens that cause the superstitious to tremble, all formed an appropriate setting for the last class party of the yearâThe Hoodoo Danceâsponsored by Classes IV and V. The members of Class IV successfully transformed the gym for the occasion. To enter one had to pass under a ladder (several were seen to hesitate) and then through door number 13. The walls were bedecked with awesome black cats and numerous 13's. Open umbrellas, suspended frc belo the THE LAWN PARTY "What? Make dresses and wear them to a garden party?" Many girls asked this question and expressed their views as to the advisability of such a proceeding. But to our surprise many of the Spring "gowns" turned out a credit to their fashioners and an incredulous attitude changed to one of expectation. Even the men who usually scorn such feminine social functions admitted a certain amount of interest. A lovely day, the beauty of School and grounds enhanced by the multi-coloured dresses of the ladies and the sports clothes of the men and the prettily arranged tables. Then the songs of the classes were well received, so well that we forgot the weeks of practice which had been spent towards perfecting them. As we moved around about the students we could not help remark that the expectations of the girls had been filled and the doubting attitude of the boys eradicated.

This blunt-nosed, streamlined rested on the track. As Jack, the driver, settled in his seat, a mechanic gave the crank a few turns and with an ear- splitting explosion the engine fired. Soon the twelve cylinders were making more noise than a machine-gun. Jack sat calmly setting the different "gadgets" on the instrument panel as the engine warmed up, and, after adjusting his goggles, beckoned me to hop in. This was to be a speed testâfor the car and me. Even though I had had considerable experience in driving fast stock cars, it took my breath away to think of riding in that "Juggernaut." However. I climbed in, but had hardly lowered myself into the seat when the whole machine seemed to leap into the air. I was jammed back into the seat, glued there, in fact, by the headlong rush of that hot, noisy mass of iron, oil and rubber. There was a slight cessation of the pressure while a clash of meshing gears told me that we were now in high gear, and again I was pressed against the back of the seat. I felt as if the dash-board were resting on my chest. I had only one of my senses leftâthe rest of them had been left at the starting point. I cleared I looked about. We seemed to stop in mid-air and the scenery went streaking past in the opposite direction. The cement road looked like a white post before us, against which we were leaning. Objects in the distance were clear, but those close to the road were just a blur. I became conscious of the sharp jolts that even the slightest uneven- ness of the surface of the road caused, and my mouth was full of a gassy-tasting dust. We came to a stop. Jack helped me out, but it was a long time before I was able to hear, speak, or think. On regaining my faculties I started to "bawl out" my recent chauffeur, but he was so engrossed in the performance of the car that my remarks didn't interest him. ERIC WILSON. SOCIETY once again the tables exert their magnetic influence. Nothing must be left so we are not surprised to see different groups having endurance milk-drinking contests. Every thing is finally cleared up and we wend our way back to the boat. Once again the whistle blows. The sun is sinking, the night air is deliciously cool, the strains of a "uke" from a drifting canoe waft their plaintive notes to us as we line the rail of the boat. With hands on each others shoulders we sing with heart and voice, "The End of a Perfect Dav."
