But if you have acquired nothing more than a certain amount of "Matter" and "Method" you are not going out to your work sufficiently equipped to overcome the difficulties which you will surely meet. If you have not acquired an interest in and a liking for the work of teaching, if you are not now looking forward with keen interest to your first school, if you have not come to appreciate the great difference between teaching school and "keeping" school, if there has not developed in your minds a decided dislike for the making of excuses, if you do not realize to some extent your great responsibilities, if you-are not leaving Normal School with the fixed determination to do your best as teachers, then you have failed—we have all failed—in the most vital points of your training. It has been a source of much satisfaction and pleasure to the members of the staff to see a very decided change in the attitude of the great majority of students towards their work and to note a very marked improvement in teaching since the • opening of the session in September. Do not allow, this improvement to terminate with the close of the session. When you go out as teachers, study and examine the various subjects of the Course of Study from all possible angles; seek always to suit your methods to the varying conditions; strive to avoid the "rut" so common in the teaching profession. In the management of your school do not try to please everyone—there is no surer way of losing the support of all. Hold fast to what you consider right. Do not play to the gallery. Do not seek applause. "Expect not fame nor gold, nor any praise— The world puts not its meed in every hand, Work on, and still be thankful all thv days, If even one shall see and understand." D. M.

' -s* EDITORIAL m With the passing of the years Normal students come and go, but the Annual remains—a lasting record—and with it an indelible memory of the varied joys and sorrows of Normal School days. More than recording the students' experiences the editorial staff has sought to infuse these pages with some of that spirit of honest diligence and of good fellowship that has characterized our daily life at this institution. It is our sincere desire that this publication will fulfil the expectations of Faculty and Students. On behalf of all interested, we extend our appreciation to those teachers and fellow- students who have contributed towards the success of this Annual. Only those directly responsible realize how much is due to the hearty co-operation of the student body. As our days at Normal School draw swiftly to a close, we are becoming more and more impressed by the tremendous import of our mission and are viewing with eager anticipation the possibilites of the years to come. We are on the border of a new land and, imbued with the spirit of earnest endeavor and with the ardor of youth, are ready to face and overcome the difficulties of our first few years of teaching. The training. which Normal School has bestowed upon us will serve as a guide and an inspiration in our future life-work; it will be the certain foundation whereon we shall build higher ideals, greater truths and lacher personality. Then may this Normal School have reason to^be proud of us, as we are of her. Resolving to use to noble ends what this year of preparation has given us, let us now face life with the light of morning in our eyes. EDITOR. ! —. . F '• a lass com tinued MIRNA BLOOMPlELD.

Tet a becoming lodesty forbids us wearying the reader with a disertation on ur vices, virtues, and 'records. Nevertheless and notwith- tanding, many of our members would be offended, and rightly 3, if some mention were not made of our "hors d'oeuvres." Prom the beginning, being of an artistic nature, we readily eeustomed ourselves to the atmosphere of the artist's class- aom. The first big sensation of the year, not including the iscovery of our I. Q's during the Educational Survey, was ur enpoyable class dance at the Promenade on Beach Avenue, [r. and Mrs. D. M. Robinson kindly acted as patron and pat- mess.

The final item was a scene from Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew," directed by Miss P. Fewster and Mrs. Edwards. Miss F. Harvey played the part of Baptiste, Miss Fisher that of Katharina and Miss P. Fewster that of Petruchio. A review of our literary activities would not be complete without some mention of the Christmas Play, "Alice in Wonderland," and the debate with Victoria Normal School. In the former Class Three took an active part in providing four of the most important characters, namely—Miss Harvey as the Cook, Miss Ireland as the White King, Miss Higginbotham as the White Queen and Miss Fisher as the Duchess. Miss Fisher .was also one of the four debaters who distinguished themselves in oratory at the inter-Normal Debate. At the Fall Track Meet, Class Three was by no means inconspicuous. They ably defended their title as "The Noisiest Class in Normal" by having the best yells. Although they did not win the coveted pennant, they made a good showing, obtaining third place. At the Spring Term Track Meet, Class Three succeeded in capturing a pennant. '' Nuf said.'' TO MR. WESTON. At.

He stood before us, the speaker of the afternoon.^>hysi- eally he seemed a perfect white-haired giant, until one remembered his terrible afflictions, his deafness and his sightlessness. He spoke to us in a tone, pitifully loud at times, which wrenched our hearts. It was not many minutes before we realized that he was a giant, not only in stature, but also in intellect and ideals. His afflictions had not made him bitter, as is too often the case; he was too magnificent for that. Rather had he turned to the study of the deeper things in life, until those things which he had been studying had so become a part of him that his very being was a sermon in itself. ■ It was with a deep feeling of reverence that his audience rose and remained standing, in many cases with bowed heads, while he was lead from the Auditorium. VIOLET WATT. OUR GARDENER. Every day, even before reaching the halls of Normal School, we may behold the fruits of his labor. Beds of gay tulips, of forget-me-nots and of wallflowers border our pathway to School. Mr. Lewis is a native of Wales, the land of song, and is the possessor of a fine tenor vice. OUR JANITOR. Mr. Howlett is our courteous and obliging janitor. So often we need extra furnishings for our literary and athletic activities, and he has always been an ever-willing help in time of need.

This dance was held in collaboration with the members of Class VI, and showed efficient co-operation and careful organization on the part of the joint committee composed of Misses Paterson, Schnoter and Ross, Mrs. Murphy, Mr. Shantz, Mr. Bride, and Mr. Irwin. An excellent floor, coupled with the excellent music given by Haywood's tunity to all to "strut their stuff" the of s ith 1 l per- As the Historical Discussion Club is solely a Class V. organization, there is need of no apology for mentioning it in this column. This secluded society is under the able leadership of President A. Hards and Secretary Frost. Here topics of present as well as past history are threshed out with interest and animation. It is an ideal place for losing all shyness, and we recommend it as a first-class breeding ground for future orators and debaters. Martin. The track meet held on November 6th saw an almost one hundred per cent, turnout from Class V. The four teams previously chosen had undergone some hard practice and each could have confidently declared itself as the only possible winner. Team "A," under the guidance of Chester Williamson, was, however, the fortunate group which gained for itself the championship pennant. The losing team was very gently advised to "ketchup" by the presentation to it of a pennant bearing that inscription. Pent up energy found vent in numerous yells given under the leadership of "Art" StevensonT The thoughtful preparation for "eats" made by the ladies served to put the finishing touches on a most "peppy" evening. The second indoor track meet, on Friday, February 13th, also provided a good time for all. Chester Williamson, at the head of Team "C," was again successful in getting the men's championship pennant.

MACINTOSH Lookingbaek over the year spent at Normal School, it is hard for us to analyse the varied influences by which we have been moulded, and trace each one to its source. We entered the school, for the most part, as a care-free, happy crowd of students, with few troubles and a bright, optimistic outlook on the future. We are still happy and care-free, still optimistic, but now, underneath it all, is a growing sense of responsibility, a deeper interest in our work, and a greater appreciation of the value of co-operation and service.

The rooms were beautifully decorated 'by an able committee, and the best of music and refreshments were provided. During the evening novelties were provided in the form of balloons, paper caps, whistles, and "frogs." Mrs. Robinson, Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Macintosh very kindly consented to act as patronesses, while the patrons were Mr. Robinson, Mr. Martin and Mr. Macintosh. When at last the "Home Waltz" was played the reluctant dancers turned homeward, saying that it was one of the most enjoyable evenings of the year. TO MR. MARTIN. A great deal of the success of these activities was due to e hearty co-operation and kind advice and encouragement of r Class teacher, Mr. Martin.

Every item, from the orchestra selection to the short sketch from "The Lady of the Lake," was Scotch. After the orchestra selection, "Scotch Airs," "Loch Lomond" was rendered by a • chorus of four, in Highland costume, Misses McGuffin, Rae, Parisian, and Macintosh. This was followed by the "Sword Dance," in which Miss Parisian upheld her reputation for varsatility. Miss Robertson then delighted the audience with a humorous Scotch reading. Last, but not least, was the play, the "Scene from the Lady of the Lake," in which Roderick sought the hand of Ellen. Taking part in this play were Miss Scott as Ellen, Miss Nyland as Lady Margaret, Miss Robinson as Malcolm Graeme, Miss Parton as Roderick, and Miss Jessie Patterson as Douglas.

One page is but too small to enumerate all the points of interest in the class history. The athletic representatives during the year were Daisy Taylor, in the fall, and May Stady in the spring term. Ahe splendid pluck and perseverance displayed by Class Seven at the first track meet, November 6, won them second place in the School. This but served to whet their boundless ambition, and in the second track meet in February, they easily won the track championship. The splendid work done in these meets was almost entirely due to the girls in charge. In November these were: May Stady, captain; Brownie Sykes, vice-captain; and Donna Wightman, yell leader. Donna's splendid work at that time led to her election as class captain at the next track meet, with Ethel Silver as vice-captain.

In this play the parts of the renowned Tweedledum and Tweedledee were interpreted by Renee Waddicor and Nellie Worthington, whose original and comical antics caused much merriment. In the spring term Marjorie Stevens was elected Literary representative. The second literary program of the term was arranged by Class Seven. Nellie 'Worthington had found a comic play entitled "The Old Maid's Association," which by reason of its large cast (and its title) seemed quite suitable for a class of fifty prospective "school-marms" to stage.

For this term Mr. Bentley Edwards was elected as president of the Athletic Society. Too much cannot be said for "Ben." He has shown marked ability in arranging and managing the different functions during the year. Migs Lillian Broadfoot was elected vice-president and certainly lived up to her reputation as a hard worker, not only as an athlete but as part of the Executive. The .important office of secretary- treasurer was ably filled by Miss Margaret Ryan. To supplement these, a representative from each class was elected. Miss Helen Fowler looked after the interests of Class III, Miss Edith Litch of Class IV, Mr. Grant of Class V, Miss Daisv Tavlor of Class VII, Miss Rvan and Miss Broadfoot represented their own classes. 3e, coupled wit ss Burpee and the enthusiasm ther and many than otherwise FALL TRACK MEET. On the night of November 6, 1924, the fall indoor track meet was held. Due to the quite extensive arrangements of the Athletic Executive, enthusiasm was high among the various classes. A day had been set aside for each class in which to practice for the various events. This provided a not only for the competitors but also for the gallery, always in attendance during these practice afternoo On the big night the gym., usually .rowded and appeared gay with coloi erved section where it stationed itself ts war whoops and class yells. It mi itely called an ear-splitting evening. so bar* Mai of the Everyone adjourned to supper, and spent a v joyable and profitable half hour. Each girls' class ha( prettily decorated table. Class Five filled in wherever or desired. After supper we adjourned to the Auditorium prizes for the best decorated table and the winners o were presented by Mr. Edwards. Did we have a good time? We'll say we did! SOCCER. Rugby football or soccer? That was the problem before the men of Class Five at the opening of the fall term. After a rather close vote, soccer was chosen, evidently because more men had had experience in that game. Some difficulty was encountered in placing the team in a league, but this was finally accomplished and we were away to a flying start. It cannot be said that the football team was a brilliant success, but neither was it a failure. At the beginning of the season we experienced some rather overwhelming defeats, but with the New Year the quality of play was raised to a quite satisfactory standard. However, as a rule, after an hour and a half of the hardest struggling, our boys lost by a referee's decision, a single penalty, or one goal. Near the end of the season, scores as 2—1, 3—2, or draws as 2—2, were common and showed the great improvement in the play. The ever-changing "line up" of the team complicated matters for Mr. Beckett, the captain and manager. He deserves great credit for his hard work, unfailing interest and punctuality. The team appreciates his perserveranee and sporting spirit. It would take too much time and space to enumerate the value and ability of each player. Suffice it to mention two or three. Harold Bates and Wm. Hyndman, as full backs, worked up a fine defence. Had it not been for them, many a time we would have been "swamped." Henderson, in goal, was spectacular, especially in "pinches," with his great length and reach, and saved our reputation (what we had) from further damage. Without a doubt, every member of the team, when looking back over the years and thinking of his term at Normal, will remember the famous football eleven. Page 52 THE OUTDOORS CLUB. As the cold of winter began to disappear, the minds of several young ladies did "lightly turn to thoughts of hikes, etc." Accordingly, in February, an Outdoors Club was organized with the election of the following: Miss Lanning, president; Miss Chapell, from Class Two; Miss Ferri'er, from Class Three; Miss Moscrop, from Class Four; Miss Rae, from Class Six; Miss Stady, from Class Seven. The weak spot, as you will notice, lies in the fact that they omitted Class Five. Perhaps they were shy—anyway the boys will give them the benefit of the doubt. On March 7, the Club enjoyed a hike out to Point Atkinson. Everyone voted this a success. Other hikes are being planned for the future and the Club is even considering raising a baseball team. Aren't they ambitious? Keep up the good work, girls! TENNIS. Tennis was the first organized sport to be played at Normal. The fall term began with ideal tennis weather, and as the season was still "open" for the game, many enthusiasts wished to turn out. We were fortunate in being able to obtain the use of two courts at Strathcona Park every afternoon from 2 till 5 o'clock for our tournament, which was ably managed by Miss Daisy Taylor. Such interest was shown that it was not till well into October that the tournament ended. In the men's singles the winner was,"Les" Brooks. The men's doubles, really a spectacular game, was won bv Mr. Brooks and Mr. Baird, paired against Mr. Gruchy and Mr. Rei Mis Nicholsc i Miss Mosci Miss Nicholson starred again in the mixed doubles with Mr. Howard, and they won this event from all challengers. The tournament ended here and so did practically all tennis, because of the wet weather. Later in the year trophies were presented to the winners in the various events. M % JIP|J1 1 ■-!!

Vei i after the t of t i fall the ; eommei Basketball Club was organized. Mr. Wilfred Graham elected president, and Mr. Harry MacDonald secretary.. After a short period with a "house league" in which the boys' class was divided into competitive sections, enough players were selected to organize two teams. It was decided to enter one team'in the Intermediate "B" league and one in the Intermediate "A." After a few more practices the following teams were picked: 1 Tea MacDoi Id, ' "B" Team—Wrineh, MacCutcheon, Henderson, Greena- way, and Crosby. The "A" team met with varied success and played a very • fair brand of basketball. Williamson, with height and reach, made ah excellent centre. Harry MacDonald, our speed demon on the forward line, didn't know how to miss the basket. Graham, our "Sampson" from Chilliwack, just naturally stopped everything in his way. Shantz displayed his speed and ability as a running guard to good advantage, and Earl Gruchy '' shore did his stuff" with MacDonald on the forward line. This was Gruchy's first year in a basketball league, but it didn't look it. We hold out great hopes for his .future, i Shortly after Christmas there was a change in the line-up. Mr. Shantz dropped out of the team and "Jimmie" Grant, who had been playing with another team, filled in. He took the vacant place at guard and occasionally came up forward and let Gruchy drop back. This season seemed a little more successful and the boys came out third and fourth in the league in spite of the lead which had to be overcome. The "B" teai had quite a hectic disappointed the School. ndei theg Most o i Wr ' thing in which the fellows were rather s the support given them by the rest of le game had. been advertised a week lot even then, there was practically no one out to yell. Support from the side lines means much to a team in a tight place. However, that's all over and the boys won't kick now. The season closed with the "A" team, minus Williamson and Gruchy, travelling to Chilliwack. Here they played the previous valley champions and lost 22—15. The Chilliwack team claimed that it was the hardest fight and most exciting game they had played in the season. Mitton and Irwin, Grant, MacDonald and Graham composed the team which made the trip. The exhibition games played during the year were numerous, and here enthusiasm ran high. In those last games at Chilliwack, the best of the season, where Graham met Graham (Wilf's "little" brother played for Chilliwack) the Normal men were treated to a real good time. This one game blotted out all others and left only the joys of a well fought battle in a good year of sport. EPILOGUE.

This choice is influenced by an inner urge to accomplish that for whch we are specially designed by nature. The time comes in every life when the choice must be made. It may be in youth or in later years. Sometimes a trifling incident will disclose to an individual his life work and from that time his vocation is clear to him. Environment to a eertin extent influences the choice of a vocation. The surroundings in early life also have a tendency to influence one towards work which appeals to him in which others have been engaged. Many may ask, "Why must we choose a vocation?" It is because we have all to face life's problems. "Strife comes with manhood as waking with day." Therefore we should have a definite object in view or we shall not be able to contend with these problems. Some delay their choice and drift along life's journey. Why do we find idle men on the street corners, loafers with apparently no aim in life? They stand aside thinking that fortune has been unfair, but in reality they are by choice drifting with the tide of paupers. The poet writes: "Once to every man and nation ' Comes a moment to decide. In the strife with truth and falsehood For the good or evil side. Then it is the brave man chooses, While the coward stands aside." Long ago the father, placing his hand upon his child's head, would say to his guest: "Jack will be a doctor." Many bitter experiences have proved to parents the folly of trying to choose a vocation for their children. The present system of education tends to develop the child's mind, leaving him to choose those subjects which appeal to him and which are necessary for success in the vocation which is suited to his individuality. Ability has to be considered when making a decision as to your life work. For instance, many men who would make excellent doctors would be useless as public speakers. The same applies to teachers and all other vocations in life. There are men and women who are not physically able to work indoors. It is essential that such persons take advantage of various outdoor work. The world needs men and women for mental as well as manual labour. It needs men and women who will put their very best efforts into their work, both for their own benefit and the benefit of others. The foundation of any vocation is a well cultured mind— thus the necessity of making the best of all school life. We as future teachers then should he attentive and make the most of our advantages while attending Normal, and as we have chosen our vocation, let us make it a success and aim at perfection. BESSIE LAMB', Class Four. THE HISTORICAL DISCUSSION CLUB On March.13th, 1925, a meeting was called in the Principal's room to consider the formation of a Historical Discussion Club. This meeting was attended by many members of Class V. Mr. Hards, who had first suggested having a History Club, offered several ideas and called for suggestions to be considered by those present. As a result of' this meeting the "Historical Discussion Club" was formed and the following elections were made: Honorary President—Mr. Anstey. President—Mr. Hards. Vice-President—Mr. Grant. Secretary—Mr. Frost. Although the Club has been organized for only a few months many important and interesting subjects have been discussed. Among these topics may be listed: "A complete survey of the Tudor Period," "The Industrial Revolution," "The Versailles Treaty," "The Geneva Protocol," "The League of Nations," "The Causes of the World War," and others. From the very first the Club has had the hearty approval and help of Mr. Ainstey and on one occasion was entertained at his home. At this meeting very interesting speeches were given by Mr. Wrinch and Mr. Davies on "The Lausanne Treaty." RECOGNITION FOR THE TEACHER. It was the school teacher, was it not, who was represented as one Ichabod Crane—an underpaid makeshift with "legs like pendulums, feet like shovels," and who bore the general appearance of a "scare-crow eloped from a cornfield"—a de- ridicule and contempt for the poor school men. But now, it seems that the successors of that same Ichabod Crane are to be taken out of comparative concealment to perform a necessary little piece of work. "War is hell" is the cry, "and must be eradicated through the schools." True, true, but where are the world's statesmen, its diplomats and its armies of politicians, with their world courts, their conferences for disarmament, and their Leagues of Nations? War it appears is a disease fed by hatred and predjudiee, and, alas, those worthies are only able to treat the symptoms of the disease. The cure for war must take the form of a gradual transformation, for it involves the extinction of misunderstanding and malice, and the infusion into young minds ideas of world peace and mutual understanding, and to accomplish this it is necessary, it seems, to call in the "contemptible pedagogue." The old order hath changed, evidently, and old work hath been given unto new hands. Observe, too, it is into the minds of children it is intended to implant these high sentiments! Why, these are the little brats who were formerly conceived to be born of evil and to be bred in iniquity; whose mass of curiosity was construed as pure impishness, and whose world of make-belive f was interpreted as the most condemning evidence of inborn laziness. And now it is humanism. Nationalism, it is claimed, is draped with evils. Patriotism has become selfish, and narrow*; and is predjudieed; and stiffness and arrogance of race h^s led to the satisfaetion of self-interest at the expense of the rights of weaker nations. Man's ambitions are degenerating to things material—"a curse of industrialism," which annihilates spiritual feeling and ideals. The very essence of the whole trouble is narrowness, it is judged, and so humanism is urged—an "enthusiasm" not for sect, caste, nation, nor even race, but for humanity. "But the existing state of the world is nationalism," is the popular conservative cry, "and we must keep alive a patriotism and retain a slipping hold on racial pride. The work must be put into dexterous as well as powerful hands." "Multitudes heretofore have failed to recognize the powers that be," exclaims common sense. "Give it to the schools." And, lo, the work is allotted to that group which a century ago you cussed with the breed of Squeers. Hence the teacher finds himself doing something, which, with evident generosity, is recognized as both an art and a science; but as the latest contribution to his time table consists of the very menial labour of sweeping up a mess in the political and economic world, his work can obviously only be ' regarded asone of the lower professions. SUNSET IN THE MOUNTAINS. All nature is hushed. Day is softly and silently slipping into the darkness of night. As the crimson ball of fire sinks into a fairy bed of clouds, time seems to pause in his swift flight. The western sky flames with bands of crimson. Across the calm waters of a little lake the last rays of the setting sun flash in one shimmering beam of sparkling fire. The mighty mountains, mirrored in the silent depths, are clothed in a soft glowing mist of gold. No sound breaks upon the breathless hush of the twilight hour. Even the laughing streams tinkle with subdued murmur as if they, too, felt the presence of a mightier power. The beholder stands spellbound—hushed into reverence—awed by the majestic splendour. The sun sinks lower. The lurking shadows of evening rise in the valley. Now, only the snow-capped peaks are crusted with sparkling gems, and the clouds in the west are tinged with crimson and gold. Twilight steals over the hills and the splendour of sunset melts into the velvety blackness of night. LOUISE M. PARISIAN. JOHN LEWIS PATON. One of the most notable speakers whom we have had the pleasure of hearing during our course at Normal School is John L. Paton, British educationalist. He possesses an unusual personality and is a witty speaker—at the same time making a deep impression by his serious demands on his hearers for study of the grave phases of his subject, education. His address to us was a plea for enthusiasm and high ideals in our teaching. "Teaching is like ginger ale; never let it lose the original and necessary fiz." Mr. Paton emphasized also the necessity for having music, one of the richest influences in life, in the schools. Sport he considered as a vital part of teaching, for mind and soul are directed aright on playing fields. Play supplies the broad spirit, the lively zest and the balance required to make men and women human as well as great. An ides 1 is a high standard of perfection which men set before them as a goal, which must be attained as nearly as possible. Everyoi le should have an ideal, whether of life, teaching, painting or even household routine if he wishes to develop r. Whatever it may he, i struggle anc I ambition—lighting the most colourless lives with' the pure hri lliancy of a-star, sometin les bright, sometimes hid- den, hut al ways there. "The idea or bright vision makes work not w ark but pleasure." A person without an ideal of a ay kind is a slave of the world; a me re puppet tossed from p ace to place enjoying the pleasures of this world after a fas! ion and forgetting them later. In o ther words, "a neer-do- well." The pleasures of the world ai e as transient as the gai dy butterfly; here to-day and gone to -morrow and what rema ms? The bitter dregs of the cup of u ndisciplined pleasure are all that are left. A per- son such as this has no aim, no ambit iion, no life purpose. He for which to strive; no s tar to light his path. He wanders thr ough life losing all the j oy brought by honest en- deavour, the achieving of an ambitic n, and even the achieve- ment of eha racter which is built in the mind of the person with an idea 1. Of what use is such « m individual? Were it not for ideals the work would show no progress and would be at a standstill. Peopl e would be content to do the same th ng in the same old waj T from one generation to another. There w ould be an extremely low standard of morality, for people woul d have no high motive or incentive to prevent them from c loing exactly as they pi ;ased. They would keep no check 01 restraint on themselve s and civilization would decline. Compar ng the idealist and the ion-idealist surely we, as teachers, mu st realize the importanc e of having and striving for a high deal ourselves, and of inspiring our pupils. If teachers do not inspire the children under their care with higher and stronger incentives to c evelop and mould their characters, they are losing their greatest opportunity of elevat- 3tt ilemnrtam JnJftt Jfaltott Our school year was darkened by the pass away on March 2nd, 1925, of one of the most hig respected members of Class V, Mr. John Fulton. A native of Scotland, he came to Canada sixteen years ago, and since then had engaged in various occupations. He answered the call to arms at the beginning of the Great War by joining the 113th Leth- bridge Highlanders, but was invalided back from England through ill health. He realized how almost indispensible a good education would be in the working out of his desires, so although handicapped to an extent that would have discouraged many, he began to study systematically \ and in two years completed the Matriculation course. He entered Normal at the beginning of the term in September and died in the pursuit of a worthy ambition. He was a young man of pleasant personality, always ready to lend a helping hand, of ideal habits ways ready to lend a helping hand,, of ideal habits and of sterling character. In a very special sense it is true of him that "He being dead yet speaketh." We felt, greatly, the loss of so fine a member of our school and we extend our deepest sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. Fulton and relatives. z* Among other things, the Normal School this year possessed a number of hopelessly queer individuals—to wit, artists. That is, they had artistic aspirations and simply ached to "express" themselves. One day, shortly before Christmas, a few of them found themselves in a group, discussing art and artists generallyy This group started the Provincial Normal School AmateuirC. Sketch Club. Mr. Robinson's permission obtained, a meeting was called, to which more than fifty responded. Half of this pleasing number disappeared when it was discovered that the club was not a philanthrophic organization for giving free drawing lessons. The remainder proceeded to elect the following officers: president, Mr. Vito Cianci ;vice-president, Miss Mima Bloomfield; secretary, Miss Olice Benedict. One meeting was held before the holidays, when Mr. Weston gave the club an interesting talk on the aims and objects of a sketch club, illustrating his talk with a number of his own sketches. During the holiday! each member perpeti vere duly placed on e: ed a Since that working artists iime, the club, reduced to a faithful few hard- , has met every Friday, more or less, in the use up vast quantities of papers, pencil, crayon honest endeavours. Figure drawing has been the favorite, with an odd, still- life group here and there. Misses Fowler, Cattell, and Dobbins were the long-suffering models, and very satisfactory ones, too. Since the aforementioned artistic fraternity are not to be recognized by any of the usual characteristics, namely, how- ties, long hair, velvet tarns or smocks, we hereby publish their names: Misses Olive Benedict, Mirna Bloomfield, Muriel Cat- tell, Evelyn Greenwood, Helen Paull, Gladys Ross, Genevieve Sehnoter, Jacqueline Wainewright, and Messrs. Vito Cianci Herbert Frost, and E. S. Price. In < jlusion, the club takes i for the help he has : this opporti Ity to thai mmmmmm SKETCH CLUB THE ORCHESTRA. During the past year the student body was privileged to listen to one of the finest Orchestras ever assembled in the Normal School. This Orchestra contributed very much toward the success of the literary programmes and concerts, and for this reason became extremely popular. Playing to an appreciative audience, they rendered such compositions as "Chevalier Breton," "Zampa," "The Merry Wives of Windsor," "Lustpiel," and "Pique Dame," in a manner that was almost professional. Mr. Leslie Brooks, a talented musician and soloist, was leader, and under him the Orchestra surpassed itself. Its success was due, principally, to the ability of the individual mem^ bers, and to their willingness to work hard, pay attention to detail, and "pull together." The Orchestra was fortunate in having Miss Phyllis Fewster, A.L.C.M., pianist, and Mr. Percy Baird, clarinet, among its members. The Orchestra closed the season with a fine radio concert, delivered from the local station CKCD. Music has always held an important position in the life of man, and most certainly it has formed an essential part of the life of the Normal School during the past year. There is not a student who has not come in contact with it, and not one but has been the better for this contact, for where there is music there is also harmony and concord. Nor, in thus praising music, must we forget the one who has stood between the Muse and ourselves, interpreting her works to us that we may better understand them. To Miss Coney, our music instructor, are extended the sincere thanks of the student body, for hut for her music would still remain a closed book to many. MISS CONEY (VALEDICTORY). In looking back over the year's work, it is surprising what has been accomplished by our music director, Miss Coney. When we entered Normal our profound ignorance of music was a thing to wonder at, and would have made any teacher's heart quail, yet she bravely set to work to bring order out of chaos—and with what success! True, some of us cannot yet distinguish between "Ta-tefe" and "Tafa-tai," or "run up" the modulator without missing a step, but what of that? We have acquired a respect and appreciation for good music which we could never have got elsewhere, a capacity to derive real pleasure from the works of the world's greatest composers. This, a priceless possession, we owe solely to the persistent efforts and unflagging enthusiasm of our music d' cheerful, Wh Ma; eFal i tha COMMUNITY SINGING. r the gether sometimes, and this year, not to be outdone, the students also assembled every Friday noon and sang ri tily. They were fortunate in having as leader Mr. Edwards, and his contagious enthusiasm did much making the periods both spirited and enjoyable.

This was a large undertaking, almost too large, but was nevertheless carried to a very successful conclusion by the girls of the various classes, under the personal direction of Miss Coney. The lack of adequate time for practice, and the absence of stage equipment, only reflect more credit upon the actors. Owing to the lack of seating accommodation, the concert was repeated, half the classes, with their friends, attending on one evening, and the remainder on the other. The concert opened with a fine selection by the Orchestra, the overture "Chevalier Breton"; this followed by "Alice in Wonderland." The latter, being in three acts, provided the major portion of the entertainment, and the programme was rounded off by a further selection from the Orchestra and a violin solo, '' Sonata in A," Mozart, which was very well rendered by Mr. Leslie Brooks. Great credit is due to all who took part for their sincere! hard work and hearty co-operation, and, above all, to Miss Coney, who conceived the idea and carried it to a successful, conclusion. On the evening of Dec. 18th, 1924, a delightful entertain- \ ment was provided by the Graduate class for the benefit of i the student body. The programme consisted of three short plays, one of them entirely in French and one a shadow play, which were very well staged under the direction of Miss Peck. Between these plays a Chalk Talk was contributed by Mr.j Lionel Meadows, and a comic song by Miss Helen Creelman. Selections by the orchestra completed an excellent programme. Once, long, long ago, when the earth was many thousands of years younger that it is now, a primitive man walked slowly through an immense forest. In his hand he carried a rough- hewn club, and as he walked he swung it viciously from side to side, regardless of what lay in its path. Suddenly the weapon came into sharp contact with the trunk of a nearby tree, and the latter, being hollow, gave forth a dull, resounding boom, quite unlike anything which the man had ever heard. Terri- .fied, he turned and fled, but as there was no pursuit, he soon ■gathered sufficient courage to return and examine the tree more closely. He found that by striking the tree with his club he . could again obtain this strange noise, and having now lost all fear, he took a curious delight in constantly evoking the new sound. It seemed to satisfy something inside him, .which had long craved satisfaction. This sound was probably the first music on earth! Since then we have advanced, but parallel with our advancement has come an increase in the part played by music means. It is hard now to think of a world in which there is no music. Can you imagine what it would be like with no Vie- trolas, no radio programmes, no concerts, no music in picture shows or theatres, no singing of any kind, no orchestras or military bands, not even a factory whistle or a telephone bell? The world would become a dead, dreary place indeed. It must be clear, then, that music is much more important than many of us think. And the reason for this lies in that "something" which was in primitive man and which is in us to-day—that want which, consciously or subconsciously is satisfied by music. But now it is not merely a "want," it has rather developed into a keen appreciation and enjoyment, and a discriminate satis-, faction which is in truth a boon in these times of hurry, bustle and confusion.

The spring meet, February 13th, followed the same lines as fall meet in the method of carrying it on and the events, red the purpose, as before, of causing everyone to become better acquainted. Furthermore, we knew more or less what to expect, and things ran quite smoothly. In fact, the spring indoor meet was quite a display of athletic abifity. Great excitement was aroused over the tugs-of-war and the horse race. The costume parade was very interesting, only, s unknown reason, Class Five decided not to enter. This added to the dignity of the procession. In both these track meets we were greatly indebted to Mr. MacLean and Miss Burpee. Miss Burpee attended to supper arrangements. If you want to know how good supper was, ask Class Five. Mr. MacLean supervised the list of events which proved entertaining and, in most cases, difficult to perform on the part of the competitors. The evening closed as before with supper in the School and prize distribution in the Auditorium. Mrs. Anstey gave the ladies an instructive and amusing talk about table decorations. Our pleasant evening concluded about the peaceful hour of 11:30 p.m. TO POETRY. Immortal charmer, thou who canst portray Those feelings that lie deepest in our heart, Whose fairy music stirs our inmost soul, And to our mind bright visions doth impart, Soother of souls, thy melody sublime Like the last rays of the departing day, Lingers awhile, and makes its presence felt, Then, peace-restoring, softly steals away. We c ivstic Within the measured rhythm of thy tread, But that it casts enchantment on our mind, And weaves a magic spell about our head. And subtly though we seek, we cannot find Wherein the key of the sweet charmer lies. But this we know—a mutual chord is struck, An ardent symphony from out the skies. GRACE BIELBY. THE FIRST LESSON Bill Freeman shuddered. Then he shivered. Then he went back to shuddering. It was awful! Here he was, at the back of a Grade VIII Class, due to teach them a lesson in History at 11:30, and it was now 11:29! In one minute he would have to get to the front of the class by some means or other and commence his lesson, a lesson which seemed to have vanished completely fro mhis mind. Only one minute and the room would be rocking with laughter, the children would jeer at him, perhaps someone would throw a book, perhaps—"Next, please," said a quiet voice, and he realized with a sickening sensation that the zero hour had come. The pit of his stomach seemed to fall away suddenlv, and a queer, wobbly feeling manifested itself about his knees, but nevertheless he staggered to his feet adily the front i his fore: rch proved fruitless.
