ROBINSON— Our Principal, who guides us through the intricate mazes of School Law and Grammar, besides talks on Class Management and the A.B.C.'s of Psychology. ''Manner—pleasant and kind, but firm." "Method—agreeable and thorough-" Thunderstorms seldom but effective. To use his own words, he "wears well" nor do we lind him "hard." MR. MURPHY— Our "Goliath," who brings* us to the proper knowledge that our province is something worth while and has a history vieing with any other country. He leads us gently to the summits of the historical mounts of History and Geography; and having done so, hopes we have the "minimum essentials" of a "pedagogically sound" system of instruction. MR. WESTON— An artist, in whose footsteps we would like to follow. Whenever a fete is due, Mr. Weston may be found leading and directing his little following in the decorating of the "gym" and lunchroom, for which we are very grateful. If we can beautify the world but one iota of the extent Mr. Weston has, we may rest content. MR- MacLEAN— Penman par excellance, whose example it is our ambition to .emulate. Mr. MacLean has a wonderful interest in "field nights;" he has great faith in two of the oldest essentials of mankind—Nature and Play—The fates willing, we will be the same. MR. MacINTOSH— Helps us to understand, appreciate, and enjoy the language which is our birthright. He is able to give an English lesson that touch which only real familiarity and true local color, obtained first-hand, can impart. MR. MARTIN— Arithmetic his ally, History of Education his friend. Mr. Martin has a rather business-like way, which many do not entirely understand. This does not detract, however, from our respect and liking for him. He handles a "dry" subject in an entirely palatable, manner, and we ce-rtainly appreciate his oral notes with no "O I forgot 's" that some of us were more or less accustomed to before coming to Normal. MISS BURPEE— "A kinder lady never dwelt in this or any other land-" Her kindness, with her cheeriness and willingness to assist, have so taken our hearts that none seek to take advantage of it, even in Handwork period. We do not wonder that she is such an adept in Primary Work. MISS CONEY— With whom we have Music, wondering always that she doesn't become "fed up" , with the attempts of most of us. Miss Coney also gives us interesting talks on Health, during wh:ch we are sometimes puzzled, for we often hear her make use of the word "dash." S MAJOR INS. WALLACE— A quiet man of "whom, unfortunately, we do not see enough When he turns away from us during mutual instruction, we know he is enjoying the period. "Quiet," did we say? But have you seen him play baseball? MISS WYNN— Who unfortunately left us at Christmas to continue her studies in Paris (regretful that she could not take us all with her.) Her motto in Primary Work is "Play," and she iivteresled us jn how to do it. 4 Normal School A nnual 1921-1922 The Staff TO MR. ROBINSON— Oh he was made to laugh not sigh, Mirth twinkles in his very eye; Yet, from beneath that brow concealed, Serious thought is oft revealed; A man of few. TO MR. MURPHY— Oh he hath traversed many lands, Sometimes among the English clans; Once, mid ruins of ancient Rome, Last—in France, far from home. A traveller and historian. TO MR. WESTON— Oh it is said and not unduly, The muses favored him most surely With an art that all admire, A given gift that none acquire; An artist! McLEAN— Oh he is rich in many friends, Yet his mind to learning tends, For he hath great ability; A noted scribe is he. A perfect penman. TO MR. MacINTOSH— Oh it is easily verified He is wisdom personified; A learned patron of books is he, For that is all his theme, you see; A clever man! TO MR. MARTIN— Oh he has As one wl A man of To reckon often been defined 10 could not be unk great ability sums mentally. A mathematician. TO MISS BURPEE— Oh she is gentle as the deer, Her voice is music to the ear. Her ways are modest and refined, Oh, who could boast of nobler mind? A lady truly.

Most of your time has been occupied in a somewhat intensive study of the various subjects which constitute the Course of Study for the elementary school. You doubtless secured a wider and a deeper range of knowledge of these subjects. You have in addition learned the methods by which these various subjects may be presented to a class in school. Thus your work has been very largely the mastery of "Matter" and "Method." What does this training mean to you? If it has had nothing to offer but a number of cut-and dried methods of doing things, if you have not gained some measure of insight into the work of teaching which will enable you to be more or less independent in your work and which will leave yoti free to reconstruct your own experience so as to react in the best possible way, then your training has fallen short in the-most important particular. 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 mind a decided dislike for the making of excuses, if you do not realize to some extent your great responsibilities, if you are not leavng 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 the 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 the 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 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, not gold, nor any praise— The world puts not its meed in every hand; Work on, and still be thankful all thy days, If even one shall see and understand." —D. M. ROBINSON, Principal. 4 mnHry Normal School Annual 1921-1922 The school of To-morrow must be a social organization in itself, reaching out and touching the life of the outside community at every possible point, and so making its own life fuller and richer. —E. H. MURPHY. If you would know a thing—draw it. —P. WESTON, "Train well the hand and teach the eye to see." —H. B. MacLEAN. Let your sympathy and firmness be nicely proportioned to the needs of your pupils. Work and be sincere, remembering that your duty is not only to teach boys and girls how to make a living, but also to teach them how to live. —J. A. MacINTOSH To live well requires close figuring. —A. E. C. MARTIN. A primary room should be a busy, happy workshop. —L. A. BURPEE. From Longfellow— God sent his singers upon earth, With songs of sadness and of mirth, That they might touch the hearts of men And bring them back to heaven again. —E. M. CONEY. Before commanding, one must learn to obey. —S/Major Ins. WALLACE. THE HARD PART MR. MARTIN: "What part of the problem couldn't you get?" G. S.: "The answer." PRINCIPAL: "Stevenson, take your feet off the table!" STEVENSON: "1 can't sir, Armour has his on the floor." CECIL N. (watching good player) : "He'll soon be our best man !'

Milchell " Circulation " Normal School Annual 1921-1922 3 THE WORD OF THE ANNUAL According to the Editor. * ORASMUCH as I would have you know these things, e that will be teachers of children; And inasmuch as ye have commanded me to prepare for you the word of thy year; It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all these things from the very first, to write unto you in this manner: That thou mightest know these things in the good of thy well-being and in the welfare of thy book. Verily, verily I say unto you that have aided thy book; the Annual, that ye have done well in the eyes of thy book; and thy servant praiseth thee and raiseth thy names to the skies; For ye shall be the helpers of man and thanks will be unto thee from the four corners of the earth. And lo! in thy book will be found parchments whereon is writ the words of many merchants: Words upon words that tell to thee the qualities and virtues of the goods and wares these merchants bring for sale. Harken ye! therefore, to the word of thine humble servant : These many merchants have Faith in thy book and Support it. It hath been said, "Do ye unto others as ye would they should do unto you." Greater words the lips of man hath not known. Follow then, their instruction; mend thy ways and give thy support, be it but that of the locust; for lo! the locust comes in swarms upon swarms and thus hath greater power than man. Give therefore, thy support to these same merchants; and when so doing, forget not to proclaim unto him, with words of praise, that thou didst see his parchment in the roll of thy book, the Annual; for these merchants are indeed the life blood of thy book. 1921-1922 Normal School Annual Editorial I T[(N WRITING an editorial for a school annual, one finds considerable diffi- *•* cully in expressing in a new way those features which, though time-worn perhaps, are most desirable and essential in such a line of endeavor. A new method of working with an old plan is ever hard to devise, and We therefore petition the reader to censure with lenity if We appear to imitate. There is one thought foremost among all others: we, the student body, extend our sincerest and heartiest thanks to those experienced friends who have helped us, they who have reconstructed our manner with the child and broadened our outlook upon the community, to that body whose efforts we all do or will appreciate, in other words, to our friends and instructors—the Faculty. Most of us do not expect {though hoping otherwise) to see them again for some considerable time at least. Yet, is it not within the range of possibility that in some far-off rural school or even in a nearby city school, we may, in a dark moment, be cheered on by the light of some past action or word of advice, be it professional or otherwise ? In the course of a few weeks some three hundred and sixty of us will leave these familiar scenes and return to the divers and diverse regions of our province, whence We came. Some three months later many will again be on the move, this time to take up what may prove to be their life work- It is in this work that this souvenir, so to speak, is intended to take its small part. As the years pass by there is always the tendency to forget the age of Youth (unless constantly connected with it,) always an inclination to withdraw into one's shell, and if this small volume may prove to be one of the preventive agents against ihis narrowness, it will not have been in vain. To most of us will come the ups and downs of life, the swirls and eddies of that ceaseless current; there will be times when we shall long for the days when We were the pupils; like the rest of a selfish race, We shall think our troubles are the greatest; and through the medium of the Annual hark back to the pleasant days at Normal, when teachers had an easier life—or so we thought. And then, with youthful memories revived, we return with renewed spirit and life, once more to engage in that occupation which allows scope for the highest possible aims—the instilling of wordly knowledge, the Weaving of manly character, and greatest of all, that we may climb still further thai mount called Life, and in so doing, uplift the ideals, the aspiraions, the hopes, the very beings, of those who look to us as examples.

Vancouver New Westminster NIGHT THOUGHTS. Tonight I sit with tired folded hands, And watch the mystery of a dying day, For through my little window the faint wind And then the lone sad sound of ebbing seas Come to my ear. Who does not love the sea So full of beauty, and yet changing while The mind grasps but a fragment of its truth. I close my eyes, and 'cross the greying world; There comes the sounds that speak of Hope and Death And Victory. Yet what means Death to us? A man has told us e'er in gentle thoughts Death is the sleep that knows no waking there. But I would have it otherwise than that, For as the West flames gold at close of day, I love to think the archway is the gate Into the mystic Vale of Avalon, Where we shall pace with softly treading feet And gather blossoms of a gracious life. "Come Sweet, and let us walk, before the night Grows older, by the shore—fringed with those pines So black and tow'ring 'gainst yon ruddy sky. J. E. GILLIS, Class II.

In the minds of many this troublesome problem hovered, but was expediously and happily solved by the suggestion from headquarters of a picnic to Capi- lano. Organization, being well-nigh impossible under the circumstances, was wisely discarded, and with each individual his own captain, the^ clouds cleared and the ship began to make some headway. Tense expectation marked the pre- the chosen day and many and fervent were the ence for fine weather. The portentious day dawned cold and cheerless with an east wind accompanied by a nasty drizzle, but the ardor of spirits raised to ignition point so long previously was not visibly affected, and the number that gathered at the ferry exceeded the most sanguine expectations. The staff were on hand in full force and the trip by way of boat, radial and foot was, through the happy faces of our comrades, rendered quite entertaining. Second Canyon was reached about mid-day and the first unanimous demand was lunch, something to quell the cravings of hunger. This was quickly attended to, and, as if by magic, fires appeared and a seemingly un- exhaustible supply of hot fragrant tea. Anxiety to be up and doing put an edge to every appetite, already keen, and victuals melted away in most marvelous fashion. Following this, each person indulged his own fancy, played games, walked, climbed, or sat at leisure absorbing Nature's beauty. So it was that the approach of evening recalled everyone from various pursuits to whatever food remained and make a reluctant departure homeward. In our homes that night when all the thrill and pleasure of movement had given way to a qertain sense of well being and mental contentment, we found ourselves wondering about all these ephemeral things, that seem to flit to us and then away forever. Are they only dreams and must they always perish? Then, to still our apprehensions a little fairy came with magic wand picturing the scene again, adding here a touch of color, hiding there an ugly scar and delicately reconforming reality until we watched with bated breath each darting, elfin movement. Thus our fears were answered, memory had come to our rescue. Page Thirty-eight mmm 1921-1922 Normal S.chool Annual The Annual Dance 'yV MOST successful social function arranged by Ml^kjk the Normal students during the fall term was /t^TO *^e ^nnual Dance, which received the ardent /jH Bp*\ support of the student body. It was held on gWh. L % the evening of November 23rd. The pres- m jgP ^L ence of the Faculty,, combined with a large M J| |f^ aLk representation of the student body afforded sufficient proof of the popularity of the "Normal Annual Dance," while the presence of Mrs. Robinson, Mrs. MacLean and Mrs. Weston, as patronesses contributed a great deal toward the evening's social success. The School Gymnasium afforded ideal accomodation for the occasion. The hall was daintily decorated with red and green streamers which fluttered idly from the balconies, while white and green ribbons artistically interwoven, were suspended across the intervening space. Foreign shields and familiar pennants adorned the railings, while the general charming appearance of the scene was greatly enhanced by the selection of a number .of palms. These surrounded the corner occupied by the orchestra, and seemed to lend tone to both the music and the dance. Dainty programs lent a finishing touch to the evening's enchantment, and scarcely had the lingering notes of the first waltz floated across the hall than the floor was sparkling with dancing feet. Garden's Orches tra furnished excellent music and proved, very generous in the granting of the "encore." As midnight approached, supper was served in the lunch-room which presented a veritable fairy land, so graced was it with gay streamers and swaying lanterns, over which the soft ra'ys of colored lights lent an enchanting effect. A great deal was' due to those students who sacrificed their time to render the evening's pleasure more enjoyable to others. The dancing ceased shortly after the midnight hour and perhaps a sigh of relief mingled with a pang of regret escaped many smiling lips - at the thought of home and rest. Nevertheless, all those present unanimously pronounced the evening a brilliant success. To many, the mention of the Annual Dance of 1921, will evoke fond memories of those happy moments carelessly spent among old classmates of the P.N.S. E. K. AT NORMAL DANCE Mel.

Page Thirty^nine Normal School Annual 1921-1922 Christmas Closing PRIMA After several weeks of mysterious intimations and alluring promises, we came at last to the Christmas closing in a most expectant frame of mind, and there was naught but pleasing satisfaction for all. The first portion of the evening's programme took the form of a concert in the auditorium. The ladies of Class Five presented a well-acted skit entitled "The Expected Visitor," which was followed by a charming playlet, "The Wrong Poet." A selected group of young ladies rendered "The Wassail Song," which was warmly applauded, as was the selection given by the mixed chorus. The concert programme concluded with the singing of "Good King Wenceslas." We now directed our footsteps to the lunch-room where supper, in lavish profusion, awaited us. Each class had a table all to itself, and there was keen rivalry in the decoration and adornment of each. Exquisite taste was shown in the various color and decorative schemes employed. A pleasant half hour was spent, and when jollity was at its height, Mr. Robinson proposed "The King," to which a hearty response was made. The following toasts were proposed and answered by the various representatives: "The Literary Society," "The Athletic Society," "The Graduates," and "The Staff." THE SPRING DANCE The spring dance, so long looked forward to and so eagerly awaited, commenced soon after nine o'clock on the evening of Friday, April 28th. The conventional wording of the daily papers, that "an enjoyable time was spent by all," is far from being at all comprehensive. Were we to imitate the youngster (at his first picnic), and cry, "O Mamma!" we might possibly do the affair more justice. Suffice it to say, that never did a jolly crowd enjoy a jollier time. During the encores to the ninth dance many were seen slipping away; a hurried consultation of programmes made the dancers aware they were missing supper. The next five or ten minutes were busy ones for those- in-waiting; for ample justice was done to the excellent repast prepared by Miss Burpee and her zealous following. The patronesses were Mrs. Robinson, Mrs. Weston, Mrs MacLean Mrs. Macintosh, and Mrs. Martin. "Among those present" were many ex-Normal students and other visitors, and the lighter footed of the student body. "Did we have a good time?" "Well, we'll tell the world." "And the orchestra?" "Say, when is the next dance?" H. L.

As Honorary President, Mr. Macintosh was the choice of the student body; and Mr. J. Murray was elected President; Vice-President, Miss Auld, and Secretary, Mr. A'. YYilby-. The first General Meeting was held on Friday, September 23. In the course of the term there were several interesting papers given by various students. A paper on the works of Sir James Barrie was read by Miss A. Ure, at the first meeting. On November 18, there was a series of essays read dealing with the lives of four famous artists: Sir Joshua Reynolds, John Constable, J. W. Turner, and Sir John Millais. Considerable interest was attached to the presentation in October, of the play "Snow WJiite," very well dramatized by Miss Abernethy. Variety was obtained for the November meeting by a debate; "Resolved : That travel is more educative than reading." At two of the other meetings there were speakers from outside the school. Dean Coleman, of the University, gave a most interesting address on "The Poetry of Childhood." Mr. Elmore Lucy gave an entertainment at the school for the benefit of the Britannia Relief Fund. In December, a series of rhythmic plays was presented by many of the students under the.very capable directorship of Miss Coney. The presentation of the above programs brought to a close a very successful and entertaining phase of the term's work. Spring Term, 1922. At the commencement of the year 1922, the following officers were elected:— Honorary President Mr. Macintosh President Mr. A. Webster Vice-President Mr. J. Mitchell Secretary; Miss D. .Adams The first General Meeting was held on January 20, when Dr. Davidson of the University, gave an address to the school. On February 3, there was an inter-class debate; "Resolved • That the Normal term be extended to two years." The negative side was awarded the nnal decision by the judges. 1921-1922 Normal School Annual A good deal of interest and amusement was aroused by the announcement of the program for February 17. Impromptu speeches were the order of the day, and the versatility of a number of students was well demonstrated. The afternoon of March 3, was devoted to a study of Kipling, the Man and the Author. Miss McMynn gave a talk on his life and writings; and a poem was then recited to illustrate one phase of the author's style. The next meeting occurred on March .17, when a suitable Irish program was arranged by the various classes. On March 31, the students were accorded the privilege of listening to Mrs. Jamieson, a representative of the Women's International Peace League. Mrs. Jamieson dealt very forcefully with the question of re-construction of Trade and Commerce after the World War. An added interest was offered in the form of an amusing duet by two of the students. Perhaps one of the most enjoyable features of the Literary Meetings has been the presence of the School Orchestra, which has assisted very materially in adding a pleasing note to the various entertainments. The very sincere thanks of the Society is extended to Mr. Wright, Miss Hardy, Miss MacKenzie, Mr. Willison and Mr. Currie for their assistance during the term. The Executive of the Literary Society is to be commended for the varied programs which have been presented for the approval of the students. A word of thanks must be given also to the following class representatives who co-operated in every way with the work of the Society. Class I.—Miss Cameron. Class II.—Miss S. Johnson. Class III.—Miss Knowlton. Class IV.—Miss Thorsteinsson. Class V.—Miss Kerr. Class VI.—Miss Imlah. A PERFECT NORMAL STUDENT There is a girl who's always bright, Who never makes mistakes, She studies hard from morn till night, And when her pupils can't see light, Her patience never breaks; Her voice is always sweet but strong, She holds their interest keen, Her lessons never seem too long, And when she has to teach a song, Her wondrous tact is seen. Our teachers by the hour do rave, About her grand career.

In her address on "Dramatization," which was given as an introduction to the series of plays presented by the various classes, Miss Winn dealt with the necessity for this phase of school-work—the stimulation which it affords the imagination and originality which it develops as a means of entertainment. "Power of observation of both the works of nature and of man is one of the main essentials of a healthy imagination," she stated, "and linked closely to this is the study of the great achievements in history. Moreover, discipline or ability to criticize is necessary to stimulate imagination." CLASS I.—"SNOW-WHITE" Management: Dramatizer Miss Abernethy Stage Manager Miss A. Clark Costumes Manager Miss M.

The stagings though simple were quite effective. The acting of the principal characters was particularly good, while the supporting cast supplied a pleasing background of fairy dances and songs.

Offsetting the acting of the principal characters were the pretty rhythmic dances of the fairies during "Sleeping Beauty's" long slumber. The dramatic ability of each member of the play was tested and satisfactorily proved. CLASS III.—"CINDERELLA" Management: Dramatization Miss V. Jones Stage Manager Miss G.

The quaint and charming presentation of the play did ample credit to the pretty fairy tale, we all loved so well when we were young—as well as to the entire cast and management. The characters were remarkably suited to their respective roles as was evidenced by the quality of the acting. CLASS IV.—"JACK AND THE BEANSTALK" Management: Dramatization Miss F.

Pretty fairy and folk dances were featured throughout the play. CLASS V.—(Girls) "THE EXPECTED VISITORS" Cast: Bessie Miss M. Wright Sadie Miss N. Wheeler Nettie Miss C. Wilson Delia Miss J.

Mr. Gore and Mr. Seymour, each in turn impersonate Mr. Seraphim, who appears at last himself as a caller at Mrs. Vernon's home. This good lady who is greatly agitated is moved first to tears and then to laughter. CLASS VI.—"BLUEBEARD" Management: Dramatizer Miss A. Ure Stage Manager Miss M. Stafford Costume Manager....Miss E.

The appropriate music was fascinatingly Oriental as well as the intricate dances which were so vadmirably performed. A solo dance was given by Miss D. Scott; Miss E. Walters also sang "The Temple Bells" from the Indian love lyrics. A novel ending was introduced when the fairy Miss Reycraft removed the spell from the wicked Bluebeard. The whole presentation was unique and original. A Sketch from Charles Dickens' "OLIVER TWIST" Cast: Oliver Twist ."...Mr. L. Allan Nancy : Miss K. Knowlton Fagin Mr. H. L.

This proved indeed, a clever portrayal of Dicken's characters and time. The setting of Fagin's dim den was very realistic. But the individual acting is worthy of special mention. The actors displayed ability and talent quite above that of ordinary amateurs and their splendid endeavor met with great success and approval. L. I. " ANNOUNCEMENT BY THE NORMAL PLAYERS, LTD.

A. Milne's delightful Age," we have caught yet another glimpse of fairyla Melisande Knowle, (Miss Gladys Finley), a charming maiden with a fondness for romance and a distaste for bread-sauce and homely occupations, will have none but a fairy Prince for her lover. She refuses the proposal of Bobbie Coote, (W. J. Masterson,) "a nice clean looking Englishman," because he is so much like other men. That night, Gervase Mallory, (Alex. Smith,) has a breakdown on the way to a fancy dress ball, and he spends the night near the Knowle's home. Early next morning Melisande meets him in the "Enchanted Forest," and believes him to be her fairy Prince. When Gervase calls that afternoon— in golf clothes—Melisande feels terribly disillusioned. But Gervase's enthusiastic eulogy and his love win her again and they resolve to seek Romance together. Bobby, coming to his senses, finds his soul mate in Melisande's matter- of-fact cousin Jane, (Miss Norah Hazlitt,) and they, too, live happily ever after. The unconscious humor of Mrs. Knowle (Miss J. E. Gillis), and the blunt good humor of Mr. Knowle, (T. J. Townsend,) serve as a charming foil for Melisande's sentimental idealism. The quaint philosophy of Susan, the pedler, (Ivan Miller), and the rusticsecretiveness of Ern, (L. M. Allan,) add pith and brightness to the play. While the maid, Alice, (Miss H. Hunter), is indispensable to the correctness of the English home. A pleasing feature of each evening's performance was a vocal solo, "Melisande in the Wood," by Miss Jessie Adam in the first entr'acte. Mr. Ferguson, art director of the "Little Theatre," was responsible for the very effective stage settings which created the desired atmosphere for the play. Considerable credit for the splendid success of the play is also due to the various indispensable committees—the costume committee capably convened by Miss Burpee—the properties committee, orchestra, stage assistants, business manager and ushers. The students are also greatly indebted to David Spencer, Limited, for the kind loan of the stage furniture. DINNER TABLE DISCUSSION. Johnny, at the dinner table—Oh, mamma, we had the funniest student this morn- ine! She had on a pink dress and her hair was falling down, and she had powder spilled all over her nose, and . . . . " Mother (severely)—Johnny, you should never make remarks about a lady." Johnny—"But mama, she wasn't a lady; she was just a Normal student." Heard in the music room (Miss C—y) : "We will divide John Peel in four parts." TEACHER (in hygiene class) : "Oswald, why haven't you cleaned your teeth today?"

Stafford. Under her guidance the physical side of our training was taken up with enthusiasm by a large number of the students. Mr. Willing was placed in the assisting positon of Vice-President while Miss Mary Bryer proved a very capable secretary. The different classes were represented as follows: Class 1—Miss Baynes; Class 2.—Miss Gilley; Class 3.—Miss Vivian Jones; Class 4.—Miss Muriel Munro—Class 5.— Mr. MacLean; Class 6.—Miss Zella Smith. PICNIC The first event of the season to be brought about was the annual Fall Term Hike. About one houndred or one hundred and fifty students wended their way to the Second Canyon arriving about noon. After lunch a number proceeded to the Intake, while others enjoyed themselves with games, played under the direction of Mr. MacLean. A number of the staff proved to be of the Herculean type and spent their time tossing boulders of more or less great dimensions. The whole affair was voted an entire success, so everyone was satisfied. TRACK MEET The next of the annual events to take place was the Track Meet. Many events were successfully run off, such as: relay race, potato race, needle-and-thread race, blind-horse race, basketball race, club race, tug-of- war, etc. It was a close contest for honors between Classes 1 and 3, the former coming out the winners by a few points. The boys were not entirely forgotten and provided a lot of excitement and some amusement in their contests. Although no fat men's race was provided, one of our prominent members proved that there were other lines of sport where those whose slightness of build had received a thickness or two of camouflage could still hold their own. It was greatly due to the efforts of Mr. MacLean that the meet was such a success and to him our thanks are due. After these strenuous exercises were over, all proceeded to the basement where the committee under Miss Coney had made satisfactory efforts to supply those things that soothe and satisfy the cravings of the inner man. RUGBY When the suggestion was put to the vote of the men, it was decided to enter a rugby team in the intermediate league. There were very few in the school who had played the game but many expressed a willingness to learn. The Heather street grounds were secured for one night a week and the squad soon showed signs of ability under Mr. Candy's coaching. After several practices a team was selected, and Mr. Willing chosen Captain. With the exception of the games against the champion Central squad, the season's games were hard and closely fought and our Normal School Annual 1921-1922 V" J#"W| \.ZkA/fV(tor3te iiMk #a£T Bock :mk ■ Jf.&ffihw& Captain Line. 8 jlljk'*«.♦*** / y^T Saunders 1 1921-1922 Normal School Annual boys were unfortunate in being unable to claim a single victory. Four of our team were alloted places on the representative team which was picked to play the Centrals, Province Cup winners. Mr. Daniel held down one of the three-quarter positions, Mr. Candy, scrum-half ;N Mr. Milley, forward and Mr. Willing, five eighths. It is the first rugby team the school has had since 1914, and shows what might be done. The only factor tending to keep it from being mqre successful was the lack of enthusiasm shown by the majority of the students, there being rarely, if ever, more than eight or ten fair supporters. TENNIS Although it was considered almost an impossibility, a "men's singles tournament was arranged and twenty-eight entries received. The Bridge Street grounds were secured and with the fine weather prevailing the finals were quickly reached but not before many fast, close games had taken place. The finals were played on the Laurel Tennis Club courts between Mr. H. McLean and Mr. Cain and resulted in a win for Mr. MacLean. Since he was last year's Varsity singles champion, the result was not altogether unlooked for. This tournament was an innovation that is likely to become an annual affair if one is to judge by the enthusiasm displayed. In the ladies' section contests were arranged and a schedule drawn up to include four representatives from each class other than Class 5. Due to rain and other hindrances this was never completed but it is hoped to successfully stage a similar competition in the spring/ BASKETBALL . At the beginning of the season it was decided to stage a series of inter-class games. Even Class 5, who had only five lady members, entered, after being allowed to gain sufficient re-enforcements from other classes. The finals were between Classes 6 and 2 and resulted in a win for the former. From the six teams one senior team was chosen but they had no league in which to enter. They had to be content with a few exhibition games, the; majority of which' they won. We entered both senior and intermediate boys' teams in the city league but at the end of the term neither headed their league division. On December 3rd the three teams journeyed to Chilliwack for some exhibition games. The boys' lost by small scores but the girls' refused to down their colors. The teams were as follows: GIRLS—Miss"'Stafford (Capt.); C. Mitchell; M. Bryer; B. Herd; E. Baynes ; A. Hall. ; SENIOR BOYS—M. Saunders; H. MacLean; E. Caspell; A. Smith; Wilkinson; C. Milley. INTERMEDIATE BOYS—H. Daniel; C. Newby; G. Auld; D. B. MacKenzie; F. O'Reilly, C. Mowat. SPRING TERM Executive When the new term started and, consequently, new executives had to be elected, the following were selected to represent the school: President— Miss M.

In the final game, played on April 6th between Varsity and Normal the former won by the close score of 12-10, thus clinching the championship and the Crofton cup. Previous to this each team had suffered one defeat, so though we lost, in the crucial game we were by no means disgraced. In the boys section, the Intermediates have a chance for second place, but the Seniors are too near the reverse end of the list to be dangerous. A number of exhibition games have been played by all three teams and the most part were very favorable. The Chilliwack teams came down February 27 to play the girls and the Intermediate boys won very easily, but the last, the Senior game, proved to be the big event of the evening and resulted in a tie, 28-28. The games were followed by supper and a dance. The teams lined up as follows: • GIRLS—M. Stafford (Capt.): C. Mitchell; .M. Bryer; B. Herd; E. Baynes; A. Hall. SENIOR BOYS—M. Saunders (Capt.); W. R. McDougal; A. Smith ; E. Caspell; A. H. Mitchell; J. R. Mitchell. INTERMEDIATE BOYS—H. Daniel; C. Newby; G. Auld; D. B. MacKenzie; F. O'Reilly; C. Mowat. BADMINTON Due to the enthusiasm and push of our Vice-Pres., Mr. "Mickey" Mc-Dougall, a number of the students have been induced to take up badminton. Most of these were novices at the game but, under careful guidance and with the ambition to learn all they could, they soon picked it up. Many very interesting games have been played but the lack of a night in which they could use the gymnasium proved a handicap. FIELD NIGHT Our spring track meet took place in the gymnasium on Friday, March 31. It got away a good start with a review of the Normal School Battalion. This provided many laughs and got everyone in good humor. The events wefe all very closely contested and Class I. had the slight margin of six points when all was over. Class V. ran them a close second with Class VI. a single point behind. Class IV. was rewarded the "booby" prize, having obtained only five* points. In the boys' competition between Classes V. and VI., the former won out fairly easily, though they had some close calls. During the evening two sets of badminton were played between the Faculty and Students. Messrs. Murphy and MacLean won over Messrs. Stevenson and McPhee, while Miss Burpee and Mr. Martin lost to Miss Harper and Mr. Cain. The evening wound up with supper in the lunchroom followed by the presentation of prizes in the auditorium.

Tenth and Heather St Page Fifty-eight 1921-1922 Normal School Annual School and Citizenship Down through the ages, in all times, in all races, the man with the will to 'do and dare,' the man of resource and foresight, has always been accorded the applause of the nation. Historians and biographers remember \ the men and women who today stand to us as examples of patriotism, courage, fidelity, spirituality and culture. We may conclude, therefore, that portions of each of these qualities, judiciously mixed, and seasoned wiih sympathy and kindness, would give us ideal citizens. With this for our type of perfect citizen, what may be said for the ideal of citizenship? "Lives of great men all remind us, we can make our lives sublime," and these same men's lives show us that only by having their spirit, the spirit of Service, may we hope to "follow in their footsteps. Our ideal citizen must have vision, courage, tenacity of purpose, ambition,— ah yes, but all these of the altruistic quality which seeks to serve mankind, not self. Man, that is, human nature,, has been summed up, in the language of spiritual chemistry as equalling 'Animal (i.e., nature,) plus Vision, plus Will.' There represent our raw materials. The question now is: To whom shall we entrust the development of these materials from their crude state? Or shall we say: To whom shall we entrust the development of Vision plus Will, their influence being brought to bear on Animal, thereby raising Man from the animal plane to his rightful state of 'little lower than the angels'? The inculcation in youth of the ideal 'of service has been attempted in various ways. The Spartans, by relegating the training of the child to the state, for the state, strove to produce a strong and powerful nation. They stressed physical development only, putting aside, or blindly ignoring Vision plus Imagination. The Greeks, on the other hand, aimed at a perfectly balanced individual. His mental and physical development were equally cared for. In both the spirit of service was inculcated, not as related to mankind in general, but to the state. It was impressed as the duty and highest attainment of a citizen. Perhaps we might call it intense patriotism. A generation ago regular home tasks served to instill in the young the principle of service, but in these days of electricity and gas there are few simple tasks left for the child to perform. This is where the school supplements the training of the home. More and more is it becoming a dominant factor in the development of character. School and home, that is, teacher and parent, must co-operate. Their interests are no longer separate. The parent is responsible for the child he sends to the teacher; the teacher is responsible for the child he returns to the parent; both are responsible for the individual they evolved and offer as a citizen of a nation. To refer to the requirements of the model pupil: he must be neat and cleanly; he must be punctual; again, he must take pride in lessons well done, and in good behavior; he must respect school supplies and furnishing,—all for the sake of his schoolmates as well as his own. In short, he is taught the faithfulness in observance of little things makes life more pleasant for everyone; that misbehavior on his part affects others as well as himself. He realizes the significance of democratic government, that is respect for the individual and the interdependence of man. Page Fifty-nine Normal School Annual 1921-1922 School Music and the Message of the Phonograph All ears can be easily trained to feel the thrill of rhythm. Marching in step and walking in step is as definite a responsibility for the school as correct speech. College songs and other rippling jingles are as necessary in school as a blackboard. Nothing but music sways the physical, mental and moral being.

H The Royal Bank of Canada A SAVINGS DEPARTMENT IN EVERY BRANCH 1921-1922 Normal School Annual Let us again refer to our perfect citizen. He must have patriotism, courage and fidelity. These qualities are exemplified in the child's reading of history at school. Again, they are made more real to him if he is taught to practise them in his daily life. Moral as well as physical courage is required. First there is his loyalty to his parents, teacher and school. From this, his ideas next embrace his native town or city, and so on, until he recognizes himself as a unit in the assets of the empire. He comes to feel the joy of service, the satisfaction of co-operation for the common good, and the thrill of creditable pride for his share in some undertaking of general benefit. But before he can reach this state he must have spirituality and sympathy developed in him. For this purpose there is nothing of greater cultural value than good literature. The early guidance in reading takes place in the home, but the burden of it later falls on the school. In their early years all children have periods when spirituality and imagination make their appearance. At these times they are most sensitive and responsive to the highest things in life. The school's opportunity lies here. To increase and expand these periods is an exacting task, one demanding the best guides the nation can produce and there is no doubt that the school is awakening and rising to its opportunity. That this is so is shown by the various experiments in methods of education. "The power of a nation should be in its moral and intellectual forces tending to a sublime destiny." Where else, if not in the school is the power of a nation to be developed ? Its (the school's) four walls do not restrict its capacity for developing latent potentialities for good, nor for transforming a child, by systematic effort and careful training, from habits of indolence and maybe of evil, to those of industry and morality. Browning tells us "Man is not Man as yet." He has only given signs of the heights which he will attain. When we remember that it took seven generations to produce one Emerson, we are encouraged to be patient with the slow growth of human nature and to persevere in our attempts to improve it. And to achieve perfection, we must now centre our thoughts on our schools. FLORA R. MacKENZIE.

Page Sixty-two I i ± 1921-1928 Normal School Annual Old Yukon Days Hurrah for the holidays! School is very well in its place—but when the warm days come and the vast out of doors begins to awaken from its winter sleep, the blood stirs in our veins and we long to break free from the continual daily round and respond to the call we hear, to go out and be with Nature. Therefore for a short space of time let us fling care to the winds and travel to a land where unconventionality and good fellowship reigns. The journey to the North is an adequate introduction to this land of romance and beauty. The boat winds its way between many little islands, while on the shores of the mainland, tall, forest covered mountains rise from the water's edge. Many are the streams that come rushing down the mountain side, often making a drop of several hundred feet and then continuing their courses to the sea. Little settlements can often be seen huddled by the water's edge. They seem so far from civilization that one feels very sorry for them as we pass by, but their position is not so much to be pitied as that of the lighthouse keepers scattered along the coast, perched on some pictursque rocky point or island, absolutely isolated from the world for weeks at a time. I hope you do not get seasick very easily for we shall reach Queen Charlotte Sound soon, where the sea is often rough and the boat is apt to roll a bit. As we near Juneau the boat turns out of its course and goes up a long inlet to the wonderful "Taku Glacier." Here we see a magnificent sight. This glacier stretches back about ninety miles to the shores of Atlin Lake, and it must be a good half mile or more in width. When the sun is shining this huge mass of jagged ice gleams with many colours. The captain blows the whistle and the echo sounds clearly far back among the icy crags. The vibration from this causes huge slabs of ice to fall from the glacier with a tremendous crash into the sea. It is truly wonderful and a sight you will remember. So we proceed on our journey passing many points of interest, surrounded oh every side by Nature's finest handy work that needs the pen of an artist to describe. Three days after leaving Vancouver we reach Skaguay, which lies at the head of Lynn Canal, nestled snugly in amongst snow capped peaks about four to six thousand feet high. This is the Skaguay which in the Spring of '98 grew to be a city of some fifteen thousand people—people of all stations and nationalities—all drawn to the Northland by the lure of the Golden Klondike. In the early days it was a lawless town, ruled by the iron hand of "Soapy Smith," and his gang of desperadoes who preyed not only upon the successful returning prospector, but upon the incoming "cheechako" as well. But, "The old order changeth." Today Skaguay is almost deserted and its rows and rows of empty buildings gives one a feeling of depression. Although this town can not boast of sky scrapers and street cars, it does possess a few Fords and in one of these we can ride up to the station, where the train is ready to take us over the much famed trail of '98. 1 Normal School Annual 1921-1922 We Invite Your Inspection of Our Educational Department and books for Teachers on History, Geography, Nature Study, Story Telling, and Folk Dances and Plays.

FLETT, LTD. 839 Hastings St. W. V 1921-1922 Normal School Annual After climbing the heavy grade up Porcupine Hill and rounding Rocky Point, the train runs northward through the Skaguay River gorge. Fully three hundred feet below is the old trail, the stampeders made, almost as plain as though it were used but yesterday. It is discernable at many points along the railroad. One place we stop at is Pitchfork Falls, a beautiful cascade some ten miles beyond Skaguay. The vegetation here is wonderful. Mosses and lichens, ferns and wild flowers grow profusely. At Inspiration Point, a most remarkable panorama is portrayed. Down the pass to the south, two thousand four hundred feet below, although but twelve miles distant is Skaguay and Lynn Canal. To the left rise the jagged Sawtooth Mountains and to the right glacier topped Mount Pinnacle, while hundreds of feet below lies what was once White Pass city, a miners' city of tents and log cabins, but all that remains of it now is' two broken down, tumfeled-in log cabins, and the tortuous trail leading to Dead Horse Gulch. Soon we come to the Steel Cantilever bridge, two hundred and fifteen feet high, the most northerly bridge of its kind, which crosses the Dead Horse Gulch, so named because during the days of the rush it was there many a pack horse lost his life. About a mile beyond is the White Pass Summit, the international boundary line. Here we get off the train and make our way up to the boundary line, where we may stand with one foot in Canada and one in the U. S., watching the "Union Jack" and "Stars and Stripes" wave a friendly salute to each other, each on their own territory. It is here in a tiny mountain lake that the mighty Yukon takes its rise and flows for two thousand, one hundred miles, north and west crossing and recrossing the Arctic circle before it finally empties into the Bering Sea near St. Michael. Beyond the summit for some twenty miles the road follows the bottom of a broad valley past many beautiful points and countless small lakes until Bennett is reached. Bennett in the days of the rush was a thriving city of some ten thousand people or more. Here it was the stampeders abandond the foot trail and built themselves rafts and crude boats in which to continue their journey down the lakes and mighty Yukon. After leaving Bennett the railway follows the shores of the beautiful mountain-girt lake for some twenty-seven miles. The mountains across the lake rise out of the water a sheer mile in height and on a calm day are mirrored in the glassy waters below. Slowly the train puffs into the little Northern town where all the villagers are assembled on the station platform, for this is their sight-seeing day and many and varied are the comments passed upon the incoming tourists thirsting for stories of the North, and ready to overlook nothing. A certain class of tourists are looked upon with a mild amusement akin to contempt. They are the ones that come home with wierd and wonderful tales which the obliging Northerner has expanded and colored a thousand fold for their enjoyment. This is a process which is called "stuffing." Therefore I warn you to beware and not ask senseless questions unless you to wish to be "stuffed." All travelers you know are gifted with powers of observation and a sense of humor. It is quite an ordinary thing to have an inquiring transient ask, "Are you a native my good Normal School Annual 1921-1922 Educational Stationery d!b Students' Loose-Leaf Books in solid leather and texhide binding: Chapman's Loose-Leaf Books and Refills.

But one other story. A party of tourists were out in a boat and they noticed some sea gulls standing on a log in the water. They asked the owner of the boat what kind of birds they were. He being of a jocular nature answered "Sea Turkeys," and although these birds had followed their boat from Vancouver to Skagway they believed him. But I fear I am taking an unfair advantage of these innocent mortals. Let us look about the town now. It has sprung up along the sandy shores of Lake Bennett and has mountains on every side. It will scarcely awe you by its imposing edifices and congested traffic. It boasts of a general store, a nice three story brown hotel, a post-office, a red station house with the boat wharf and warehouse close by, a public reading room—such as it is—a little white church, the police barracks, the section house, three fox farms and a few dwelling houses scattered around'. There are not a hundred inhabitants in this little town. It has been- nicknamed "Macawberville" because like its namesake, the people are always waiting for something to turn up. On almost any day you can see a group of idle prospectors seated in front of the general store discussing various questions and the funniest thing I ever heard was three of them propounding their ideas on religion and heaven. As^ none of them had probably been inside a church since the days of their youth, their ideas were practically original. If we stay in this little town, all will try to give us a good time. Swimming, hunting, fishing, mountain climbing, boating will be the order of the season. Just picture a long launch ride on a beautiful lake with beautiful mountains on either side, a huge bonfire, the smell of an out-of-doors meal and the ride back, chugging quietly along the moonlit waters. I would like to describe our fishing trips and duck hunts. They are to be looked forward to, so full of excitment are they, fun and frolic. You should see" the hungry party eating ducks after a day's hunting. Everybody must have at least one duck and its up to you to eat it, so be sure to choose a small one if your appetite is poor. After supper we get the old timers wound up and then we hear the thrilling tales of the north, of of the days of the '98. Tales humorous, sad and wonderful. Many are the bear stories recounted, each one stranger than the last, every one trying to go one better than the person before. Surely it is a great land. One who has lived there feels the nameless call of the wild and always has a craving to go back. The people are generous, odd, happy-go-lucky and sympathetic. If you are ever "down on your luck" the north is the place to be, for there is always someone to hold out a helping hand. Many are the stories I might tell, but space does not permit, so we must board the train and say Goodbye to the Northland, earnestly vowing to journey back and see all with our own eyes, someday. —S.J.

Page Sixty-eight 1921-1922 Normal School Annual Retrospect In the venerable metropolis of Vancouver—that great inland city of the West which, as legend hath, it was ages since a flourishing seaport, I chanced upon an old-time-worn manuscript. Recent excavations in the heart of the city had unearthed a hermetically sealed box containing these mementos of bygone days. Though hundreds of years old the paper was remarkably well preserved, though so brittle to the touch that much of it has been lost. In spite of the mutilations it still contains a vast amount of interesting information. The major portion of this manuscript is devoted to an institution known as the Normal School. A strangely inappropriate title this, for investigations show that by no possible stretch of the imagination could a modern conceive of it being normal. Tho' without 'doubt the ancients must have had some reason for the name. In the first place it appears to have been one of two such institutions in a province of .half a million souls, and in the second place in this peculiar institution the pupils taught. Both of which characteristics would appear somewhat abnormal. The interest of the documents may be indicated by the quotations from them. In the chapter "Our First Appearance" we read: (1) It came to pass in the one thousand nine hundred twenty-first year of our Lord, in the month of September, that fate and my parents' decree led me to the city of Vancouver in the province of Beesce." (22) "As my feet brought me to the gates of the school called Normal ' I grew sore afraid, I trembled in my boots, my knees rattled one against the other, and my heart grew heavy within me." (3) "So that I was constrained to walk around ten blocks to recover my courage." Here the writing is blurred, and some of the manuscript is missing, then (12) "I found myself in a great hall with a host of three hundred youths and maidens in great confusion each whispering to the other (13) 'where go we from here'?" (14) "And it came to pass after these things that a bell did ring and the captain of the hosts spoke unto the multitude, saying (15) "Take ye the seats in the auditorium." (16) "But when we came to take the seats, behold they were made fast to the floor and we marvelled greatly, and said to one another: (17) 'How shall we then take the seats when they are fast to the floor'?" (18) "Thereupon spake the captain of the hosts saying, 'Oh you asinities, ye nonentities of little sense, be ye seateth and let peace, be upon the multitude.' (19) Then did the captain divide the multitude into six parts according to name and sex. (20) And there was class one, of the tribe of Murphy; class two of the tribe of Weston; class three of the tribe of MacLean; class four of the tribe of Martin; class five of the tribe of Macintosh; class six of the tribe of Burpee." (21) When this was done he commanded the host, saying; go ye quickly to your class rooms. (22) Now the number of the class was not the number of the class room and there was a general mix-up in the house." Page Sixty-nine i Normal School Annual 1921-1922 Millions Needed Yearly For Ele&rical Development— How to keep finding hundreds of millions of dollars every year to enable public utilities to keep pace with the demand for service, is the problem of the age. Public utilities of the continent require about $750,000,000 divided between the electric railways, gas and electric light and power companies. The difference between public utilities and ordinary business is that in a period of depression ordinary business shuts up shop. Employees are either reduced in number or dismissed ,entirely. Street car facilities, light, power and gas services, however, must continue to function and increase their scope of service.

"(1) "On the morning of the fourth day of the second week of the term we did repair to the Model School with lessons indifferently prepared. (2) And lo, when it did come my turn to instruct the young, I grew faint, and black spots danced before mine eyes, and words forsook my mouth. (3) "When several minutes of silence were passed; the pupils did grow restless and did murmur amongst themselves and I did murmur unto them; (4) 'Sit ye up straight and pay attention.'

(7) It chanced that this was the receiving class and they knew not their places at the blackboard, and five children did fall upon one piece of chalk and one eraser, and there was great uproar.. (8) Then one of the infants did ask; 'what shall we write?' (9) I answered him saying; 'Over, over, over up' and they know not what I did mean. (10) Then did it occur to me that an ounce of Demonstration was worth a pound of Execration and I did send them to their seats and wrote for them on the board. (11) Thus ended my first lesson and I marvelled greatly that I received but fair minus for my criticism and I said unto myself.

Fair. 2945 1921-1922 Normal School Annual An Utopian Dream I was sitting in my classroom one noon, with the March sun filling the room with its radiance. Suddenly I thought I should like to see the criticism for my last lesson, so I hied myself to the distant "sanctum sanctorum" of the Master. I approached the portals of that room with awe. With great reverence I knocked therewith. The door slowly opened, disclosing the keeper of all secrets seated at his desk. "Ah," he said, with a smile of great pleasure prevading his countenance. "Ah, Miss Blank, I am glad to see you to have an opportunity of discussing your work with you. I have been greatly pleased with your zeal, industry and profound attention. But we must speak of this subject at greater length, so won't you be seated?" He placed a chair for me, and then seated himself at his desk. When my criticism had been located, my Instructor began to read in a sonorous tone: "Lesson—Geography. "A trip across Asia—showing the various people—their mode of life— the industries and products of the various regions." "Lesson, exceedingly well introduced in a bright conversational manner Main part of lesson handled with great insight into the subject matter. Excellent Socratic questioning. Class absorbingly interested. Student's personality forceful, dynamic, and charming. Student showed knowledge of subject; and methods were pedagogically sound." "Great respect was shown for modern methods of instruction by tactful use of parallel teaching and free discussion. This was an excellent lesson.' "Well," said my friend and advisor* "I am very well pleased with this criticism. I have great pleasure in marking it 'excellent plus.' It is extremely gratifying to feel that students are so successful in putting into force all those historical and pedagogical principles which are expounded within these walls. "Certainly, I have but little fear of any failures, for the work of the Students is indeed of a very high order; and furthermore their knowledge of facts historical, geographical and mathematical is surprisingly sound and lasting. "Good afternoon, Miss Blank',' said the All-Highest, rising and courteously opening the door for me. I trust you will have every success in your labors." Bowing low, I backed out of the Presence into the long hall-way. I found myself again in my class-room, but I was not alone. There was a mingling of may voices, a scurrying of feet. Suddenly I heard the voice of my chum,"Gracious, wake up, Betty Blank! Don't you know that you have been asleep for a quarter of an hour?" "Hurry! We must rush down to class1—because Mr. Murphy is go- mg to give us an Intelligence Test to see what we know about the I. Q., historical ability and literary appreciation." —ARTEMAS.

In the town of Reycraft, Stafford-shire, lived Nicholson Hobbs, Shoemaker and church Warden. Nichol used to Herd sheep in Raine or shine, among the Green Hills beyond the Townsend. One day neighbor Duke's damage. Nichol was very angry and uttered a Threatfull of bitter words, as he hastened to Rideout on his Gray Mair and and Dodge those cows, with his Kerr, over Brooks and through Shuttlewood. He came near Beaton Farmer Duke and Laidlaw down to him like the Baillie. "Nixon that," said Duke, "Don't Badger me, and please call that dog Hoff, man!' That Knight, Nichol told his mother the story. "I hope you were not Rudnicki," said she. "No," said her son, "Tho' if ever I wanted to Hurliman to the earth it was then. I wanted to Boutall his Lightbody and pitch him into the Bryer patch." "What Adair-ing youth," said his mother. Just then a voice called, 'rPlease, Oben the door and Grant an Auld man a favour." "When Hanna Hazlitt the lamp you may come in." It was poor Angus Stewart, the Carpenter (who always had a cold.) "Will you Reid this letter, I Hadden't my glasses with me." She read: Hall, April 1.

Now this Oak tree was in a Park with many Plants and to-day the Raine was descending heavily with hailstones that looked like Rice. People did not care to Ride-out upon such a day but sometimes we saw a Chauffeur (Sehaffer) well bundled up, with a Scarf (Scharf) round his neck. In this Park there was a White statue of Scott and further on an old black-Smith, shop, in which four Smiths worked. Soon we saw some Robins-on some Stocks just on the Verge of flying off—one had nice "i's" and was a beautiful Singer. Away they flew! to some indistinct object that looked like a Wheel-or Rude-niche in a tree. Away in the West-or-by the sea, we could Trace-easily the sound of Thomp-Tnomps-on the wings of the wind. Soon we came to a stream which an old man with a Staff-forded. We came then to a church where the Warden met us. He gave us a book which we could not Reid as it had become suddenly dark.

When I was at Normal I picked up several muscular manuscripts which I have still by me. Among others I met one entitled "The Vision of Murphy," which I translated word for word. On the fifth day of the moon which according to the custom of my forefathers, I always keep holy, I ascended the Normal Hill to pass the rest of the day in meditation and prayer. While I was thus musing I cast mine eyes towards that pile of ancient granite where I discovered a Genius with a musical instrument from which issued tunes inexpressibly different from anything I had ever heard before. I drew near with that reverence that is due to a superior nature and fell down at his feet and wept. He lifted me up and said, "Murphy, I have heard thee in thy soliliquies. Follow me." He, then, led me to the flag pole and bade me climb. "Cast thine eyes northward," said he " And tell me what thou seest." "I behold," said I " a sea bounded at both ends with smoke and a bridge standing in the midst thereof." Upon a more leisurely survey of it I found that it consisted of innumerable trap-doors. Sixty-one persons were passing along and a black cloud hanging over all. Looking more attentively I saw where the cloud was the darkest Misses Brown, Carter, Chisholm, Dunmore, the Curtisses, D. and I. and many others dropped thro' the bridge into the Tide of Life. As the cloud lifted I saw the word "Failures" on the spot whereon they had stood and there arose a loud weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. I then perceived that the people no sooner trod upon these trapdoors than they fell thro'. From the dpen door marked "Politicians" the voices of Misses Baillie, Cunliffe, Dowding and Angus arose high above the babel of tongues of their several class-mates—All were shouting Nationalism, P.R. and Prohibition. Anon the noise was drowned by the sweet doh d'doh d'doh doh dohs of Misses Burns, Boutall, Cameron, Brooks and Mrs. MacLeod, issuing forth from the door "Music." Then I beheld a great confusion about the pitfall "Marriage"—some hesitating, some pushing forward, all crowding—but few fell through. Those that hesitated were lost. Misses Bryer, Baynes, Bates, Burnet and Cowen paused but a moment, then disappeared thro' the trap-door "Athletics." Nearby, into the yawning depths of the "Teaching Profession" dropped nigh unto thirty. A fleeting glimpse revealed Misses Carpenter, Boeur, Campbell, Davis, Bath and Dodge, pointers in hand, equipped for the fray. The dark cloud had by this time dispersed itself. The thirteen passengers still left ran wildly hither and thither, heedless of their steps, endeavouring to catch the glittering bubbles that ever floated before them. Misses Jean Campbell, Copp.. Bradley and Dillon almost caught one when they trod upon the "Stage" door and sank. The Genius, seeing me indulge myself in this melancholy "project" told me I had dwelt long enough upon it. "Take thine eyes off the concrete and tell me if thou seest anything thou dost not comprehend in the abstract." f—* Normal School Annual 1921-1922 f ijlffl P 1 m ^jgBt&l. Lid!: ; Pace Seventy-eight . 1921-1922 Normal School Annual "What mean," said I, "those great flights of birds that are perpetually hovering about the bridge?" "Those are Flights of Frequency, Co-efficients of Co-relation, Deviation and Love." A great sadness o'erwhelmed me and I wept again. Compassionately the Genius bade me look to the Happy Isles. Whether or no the kind Genius strengthened mine eyes with any supernatural force, I saw the islands of Good after Normal. Two islands especially I beheld. Misses Carmichael, Climie, Choqiiette, Allen and Dimock I could see in charge of one of the large beautiful schools, for this was the Island of Good Schools. Afar off on the other island I perceived Misses Beaton, Duke, Adair, Carscadden and Burrows fishing for soles. I gazed with inexpressible pleasure on the Happy Isles, and then turned to address myself to the Genius. He had departed. Again I sought the vision but it had wavered, sunk, flickered and gone out. Instead I beheld the smiling countenances of Class 1 gazing into mine eyes, and lo I was happy." FAREWELL A little while and we shall see Our friends of twenty-two no more— A little while and they will say "Our days at Normal School are o'er." They're watching now with eager eyes For what the future doth conceal; A few more years and they will see What joys and sorrows 'twill reveal. Mayhap they then will backward look And sigh and wish for youth again; Mayhap have found that every life Though bright with sunshine, must have And yet the dark and stormy days Develop fruits that might have died; And all things for the best will be, If 'neath the rock we do abide. And now a word for each of you Thus leaving for a larger sphere Where trials vex and troubles grieve You thought not of while you were here; Think not to bear tomorrow's load While yet today has scarce begun; But inch by inch and bit by bit Thus pressing on the victory's won. Neglect no task however small, The worlds made up of little things; And if you would be truly great Do every day what each day brings. Let self control your watchword be, And as the years go swiftly by, Be ready with kind words and deeds The stepping stones to life on high. F.

The year of our course is over, The friends of old Normal fled; For the River of Time, like the lines of a rhyme Goes„on, and the past is dead. Is dead! yet lives, 'twill always live In the hearts of our schoolmates dear, Who a tender thought will spare To the glad year we've had here. And the threads of memory will hold us In a "net like the spider's own— Though the hair on our temples be thin, And many the years that have flown. Fondly our thoughts turn backward Over things and. hours that have been. Farewell, Staff and Students, Memories of what have been. W. J. MASTERSON, Class V.
