No mmmmmsm zge IN a very short time your school days will be past. We trust that your experience at Normal School has been both pleasant and profitable. We should like to think that during the last school year you have gained much from your intensive study of the various subjects; that you have acquired some insight into the methods of presenting the various subjects in the classroom. But over and above this, we should like to think that your outlook on the teaching profession has been broadened; that you have come to realize that there is a vast difference between teaching school and "keeping" school; that there has developed within you an interest in and a liking for teaching, together with a keen sense of your responsibility. To members of the staff the most gratifying feature of the past session has been the fine spirit shown by the great majority of the students. The spirit of co-operation has been strongly in evidence. What you have done has been well done and the spirit in which it has been done has been an inspiration to your instructors. 'Carry this spirit into the teaching and management of your schools and you will find your pupils responding in like spirit. Keep ever before you the thought that the only source of true happiness lies in putting your best into your work. Attempting to buy happiness by the pound is as absurd as trying to buy poetry by the yard. Strive to do your work to the best of your ability; keep all departments of your work up to date, even doing the little extras not necessarily demanded of you; always come before your pupils thoroughly prepared. Thus will your interest steadily increase and become more and more permanent; thus you will find the time all too short; you will lose yourself in your work and success and happiness will be yours. I should like to impress upon you the importance of giving your best attention to details. Remember that the long race ts made up of many steps, that life is the sum total of a mass of details. If you would have a high ideal for life as a whole you must have a high ideal for each of its parts. If you would attain your high ambition for ultimate success you must set a high standard for each of the tasks by which it is reached. There is no better way to increase your capacity in any line of endeavor than to set yourself a definite standard of achievement in every task and then bend every energy towards reaching that standard. One should always do his best, but that best will be a great deal better if it is a definitely determined ideal both as to quantity and quality of attainment. Competition is the means of releasing unsuspected abilities. Know just what your best competitor can do and then do a little better. Know just what your own best is and then strive to excel it. The only way continu- onslyto increase your capacity is by always doing a little better than your best. Standards are ideals put into measurable form —they are the steps by which we climb to higher achievement. Only by these may xve rise to the greatest heights of will, character, and success. We wish you the best. To the Students of the Vancouver Normal cc School: jhis ts rather a momentous occasion in your lives. It is both an/ nd and a beginning—the end of a time of careful preparation for a period of service yon hope to enter upon, and the beginning of a wider life of opportunity and usefulness to your fellow men. As you go forth, I would speak a few words of commendation and encouragement. First, I wish to commend you upon your choice of your life's work. The teaching profession opens up a wide vista of opportunities to serve and inspire the young people who must in their turn take their stand in the world, for good or otherwise. In the teaching profession, perhaps more than in any other profession, you can help, directly and indirectly, to mould characters and set an example that will help to make finer citizens of our young people. Let me specially emphasize the fact that force of example does more good than preaching— though preaching is necessary also. There will doubtless be many times when you will feel that you are not accomplishing much, but do not be discouraged. Do your very best under all circtimstances, and the satisfaction that comes from consciousness of work well and faithfully done will eventually be yours. May each one of you find happiness and you have chosen. in the life's work JfU^tlALLffi TO MR. ROBINSON gratitude to Mr. Robinso It is difficult to express our gratitude done for us this year.

The past becomes a memory I (—' and the future a distant horizon shining brightly. Many of us will stand and gaze at that horizon and as many more will stride on, reaching first one, then another—ad infinitum. That these horizons continue indefinitely for the real teacher has been clearly shown to us in the examples set by the members of the staff. The gleam of distant horizons, the desires, the ideals, are not all that we have received at Normal. Something vastly greater—that keen spirit of camaraderie and friendship. Never has there been a more congenial gathering of young people. The tremors of that first lesson—the fear of the first criticism—how quickly they developed into sheer anticipation of the opportunities of " guiding the minds of the young" even if only for a week or so— "We shape ourselves, the joy or fear Of which the coming life is made, And fill our future atmosphere With sunshine or with shade."

MISS MAYNARD Although Miss Maynard has been on the staff of the Vancouver Normal School for some time, this is the first year that she has had a class of her own, and we are proud to be that class. Taking her offer of a willing shoulder on which to sob all our troubles we have often availed ourselves of the privilege. Her lectures to Class I, followed by "hat-passing," are always softened by an irresistable smile and an infectious laugh. Any success we have attained is largely due to her untiring efforts, and Class I wishes to take this opportunity of expressing our sincere appreciation of her sympathy and encouragement throughout the year.

Ask Class II. i to identify yourselves with the work of education, and reams have been written as to what that term implies. Of one thing rest assured: the business of teaching opens before you a life-time of interest. On its scientific as well as on its artistic side you will find abundant opportunity for accurate observation, reflective thought and increasingly intelligent practice. The true artist in whatever field he is engaged does not get into a rut; he is always discovering fresh values and new ways of expressing them; he does not twice perform the same task in precisely the same manner.

His wide experience and firm guiding hand have had a steadying influence upon our rather uncut and untamed natures. We sat in admiration of his ability to impart geography and history well be-sprinkled with good common sense; but more than that, we have felt and appreciated his sympathy and interest in each one of us. In the years ahead, we shall look back to these few brief months spent here and gratefully acknowledge his influence. But now we must part. All Class II joins in wishing Mr. Anstey many more years of such successful endeavours. We shall always return here with the expected pleasure of paying him a visit.

We are not boastful nor yet vain, but admit willingly and truthfully that a great deal of the credit is due to our class teacher, Mr. Martin. He has helped us, with well-chosen words of advice, form one family of united spirit and friendliness; he has guided us with a patient hand through- the dark labyrinths of arithmetic and up the greener and sunnier slopes of nature; and, apart from school work, he has indeed proved a friend to all the students in the outdoor hikes he has arranged. We, of Class IV, make this small effort to express our gratitude and esteem for Mr. Martin and hope he will remember us in years to come, if it is only for the noise of our everflowing chatter.

Moreover, we must view the past not merely as a matter for historical record, but rather as a school of judgment. Our writers have been looking acutely at everything in the material world about us, but they have not been looking with understanding at life itself. We must draw back toward the centre of life and carry with us the permanent and the universal, and thus reconcile change with tradition. Until we do this, we shall be blind leaders of the blind. Perhaps we are on the threshold of an age of clearer thinking, which will bring a brighter, better, happier world. _j. A.

Ready and anxious inything for the good of the class, offering encouragement and advice when most needed, his kindly words, although at times tempered with a sterner firmness, had an effect on all of us for which we are deeply grateful.

This way came the savage Indians to raid their enemies and to war on the pale-face settler. Prehistoric races, Indians, pioneers, prospectors, explorers and adventurers of every sort, from every land—all came this way—along this old road through the Canyon of Watachee. And because of water and gold, this wild and rugged place became a camping ground and a battlefield—the scene of victory and defeat, noble heroism, sacrifice and dreadful fear. Set among the noisy rivers, the vast and lovely skies and rugged and silent mountains, the canyon has become, as it is today, a place of dreams that never came true; of blighted hopes and I tried to realize that I was treading the path where once men with fond hopes and boundless faith had gone; where others, whose thought had not been of gold, but of a home, had toiled with the rest. 2 what hopes had led the early prospectors to build the r periods with him, we gained much valuable knowledge about childre teaching methods and qualities for teaching.

Every hole—each shovel of dirt —each stroke of the pick—was a realization of defeat and a dream that did The canyon is haunted by the ghosts of those disappointed ones. And yet others dared to come with the same hopes, dreams and ambitions. They came to struggle in the same way. They were but living spirits of those who had toiled and gone on.

As was soon evident, we were very fortunate in securing a strong executive under the very capable leadership of Marj Peel, president; Ernie Hyndman, vice-president, and Jim Fraser, secretary. The spring executive, headed by Norma Jones, president; Tom Lindsay, vice-president, and Elmer Dickson, secretary, satisfactorily maintained the standard set by their predecessors. The Fall Semi-Annual Dance, sponsored by the Athletic and Literary Societies, was a decided success, and the proceeds were used to establish an Injured Players' Fund. In spite of the heavier expenses incurred, the Spring Semi-Annual likewise helped to swell our dwindling resources. Basketball, grass-hockey and rugby teams were entered in city leagues and, while they did not bring home any cups, it cannot be said that athletics were a total failure. In many respects, for an organization that has to begin anew each year, we did comparatively well. Over and above our league games, inter-class sports were organized by the executive, the most notable of which were inter-class Softball, basketball This year, on the suggestion of Miss Coursier, it was decided to award a crest or letter to students putting in two hours a week at athletics. The purpose of this was to try to foster in everyone an interest in athletics. Some sixty students qualified for the award.

Early in the year, rugby enthusiasts organized a third division team. Only half the members had ever played before, but the remaining half were willing to learn or die trying. Under the guiding hand of Ashley Shatford, captain, the team was gradually whipped into shape and succeeded in tying the first game 3-3. Thus encouraged, there followed a succession of victories until at length Normal tied for first place with the most points garnered and the least scored against. Then disaster! In a game with Ex-Tech, with but four minutes to go, Hudson, tricky three-quarter, received a broken foot and Shatford at half suffered a broken leg. In the next game, Leach, at full-back, and-Bullman, flying wing, were put out with injuries. From then on, minor accidents followed in quick succession, until it became difficult to field a team at all and the team faced repeated defeats. However, the boys took their losses with a grin, and it speaks well for them that, in spite of injuries, repeated misunderstandings as to whether there was to be a game or not, they The members of the scrum proved themselves hard workers, Dewar, Ink- ster, Gladstone and Ovans being outstanding; while Ratledge, Bullman, Hudson and Lindsay worked well in the back division.

So many enthusiasts turned out that two teams were formed to compete in the Senior B Division of the G. V. A. A. League. The effect of the slow start in the league made by the teams was soon nullified by rapid improvement, the A team reaching the league playoffs. After an exciting series, Normal just missed bringing home a cup by a single point, in a hectic overtime battle.

The A team was ably captained by Norma Jones, who consistently played a speedy game at guard. The toss-off was always taken by Dorothy Kier, who played well with the quick-thinking forwards, Polly McLean and the diminutive Doris Dickson. Jean Mulholland occupied the other guard position. Eunyce Phillips and Jean Maclntyre did not play as often as the others but, when present, their good work as guards was quite evident. Much of our later improvement was due to the interest taken in the team by Mr. Hector MacDonald and the support of a few Normalites who knew B TEAM The captain of the B team, Dorothy Redman ■ S5BKS zmm Lillian Cupk and Lill ine captain or tne guarding by Toinie Sky , the forward position, and the tea and Barbara Reid to fill the posi Although the B team had liti manship and hard work and wei as well supported in Ranta played well in in having Florence Stewart games showed keen sports- isure to all the players.

It takes several good players to win a championship, but it takes a good deal more than mere playing ability for a team with green recruits to repeatedly take the floor and battle valiantly against more experienced and better coached teams. This is just what the Normal basketball team did and, though often defeated, it was frequently only by a very scant margin. Only one trip was taken this year. At Ladner the team suffered defeat in an overtime battle and at least left a good impression on the Ladnerites. TRACK MEETS The old gym had renewed its youth. Brightly colored streamers flaunted gaily from its walls; happy faces lined its gallery. Gaiety and festivity pervaded the atmosphere, while songs, yells, cheers and jeers rent the air in a mad discord of sound. A momentary hush, there was then a sudden outburst of mad cheering and staccato yelling—pandemonium reigned supreme. The track meet! Do we remember? Shall we ever forget?

The Normal Grads defeated us in fine style, and we did not have a chance to show them at the end of the season how much better we were. A club playing at the King Edward were guests of the Normal, and this time the tables were turned, for they went down to defeat. Two tournaments were held with the White Rock club, one here and one at White Rock. When they visited us they defeated us, but revenge was sweet, very soon afterwards, for we journeyed to White Rock one evening and proved conclusively that the Normal team was O. K.

It was decided to rent Chalmers pool every Wednesday from 3 to J. Under the able instruction of Mr. Martin and Miss Coursier, a life saving group was formed. This group, which took its exam, for the bronze medallion on December 12th, consisted of Marjorie Peel, Betty Moulton, Clarence Truax, James Inkster, James Goldie and Carl Holmes. After Christmas, other classes were formed by Betty Moulton, Mary Lane and James Inkster. The following students received their bronze medallion, while the instructors received an Honorary Instructor's Certificate: Group 1—Mary Lane, Instructor; Marjorie Holt, Doris Dibley, Barbara Reid. Group 2—Betty Moulton, Instructor; Merle Nicholson, Lillian Steeves, Beccy Travis, Percy Gladstone. Group 3—James Inkster, Instructor; Ted Clark, Norman Freshwater, Walter Chalmers, Stan Boshier, Norman Charter, Joe Hyde. This year the Normal School was able to put through four students—the most, we might add, which have ever been put through in one year—for the silver medallion (award of merit).

We hope you will accept it in the spirit it is intended, namely, as a link by which to keep fresh the memory of your last year of school life. Considerable literary ability may be seen in many of the selections in this Annual—ability that perhaps has lain dormant until now. With further practice and opportunity, this ability may lead far. For the present, however, it will be the "spark" that will give something invaluable to the pupils you will teach. To those of us who have not this gift of expression, our years of careful training and study cannot help but have left their mark. If we keep faith with our teachers and with ourselves, we will strive unceasingly to aid our pupils in a better understanding and appreciation of good literature—perhaps the greatest thing in their school life. Literary Editor. LITERARY SOCIETY >ubt whatever that we have exceptional dramatic talent in ar. Certainly we have not noticed much depression amongst s which arranged our literary programmes. Our first programmes were drawn up with fear and apprehension by the various classes, each one contributing one item to it. Thus, by means of recitations, short plays and solos we soon discovered much of the talent that was to furnish us with our programmes during the rest of the year. The combined efforts of Classes II and V at the end of November produced our first all-male production. The first item, a short play, depicted the anguish of two young men trying for hours and hours to classify some rare weed—or was it a dandelion? As we had just completed our wild flower collection, we enjoyed it immensely. This was followed by a dramatization of "The Shooting of Dan McGrew." A platinum blonde as "the woman who was known as Lou" filled our feminine hearts with envy. The two classes then joined forces in a camp fire scene, which brought back poignant memories of our vanished summer. Class VII was responsible for our final programme of 1931. This consisted of two colorful plays, namely, "The Christmas Stocking" and "On the Air on Xmas Eve." These interesting plays were very much in keeping with the Christmas spirit we were feeling so keenly at the time. What a brilliant start was made at our first meeting of the year! We had everything from "Young Lochinvar" on his noble broomstick (yes, we said boy Dominique." There were, < "Newlyw '-The i *-f?jSfv. .«~m' -frm i< i;i i.l if s^islsf.

THE DEBATE The Literary Society arranged to have a debate after Easter, the debaters to be chosen from successful class speakers. Early in the spring session, four members of each class were elected to debate on some subject of their own choice. These debates were held in the classroom and four debators selected to compete in the auditorium. Instead of our usual program of literary selections, on the afternoon of April 15th we were entertained (or rather thrilled) with a discussion which, stated formally, was "Resolved, if our University consisted of but one faculty, Applied Science j value than Arts and Science." Miss Sheppard of Class VI and Mr. T. Lindsay of Class for the affirmative and their opponents were Miss M. Betts C. Truax, Class V.

It was late in the month of March, in the year 1757, and the snowstorm of the preceding day seemed to herald the coming of spring. The ice had already broken up and was drifting down the river towards the far-off thunder of the falls. As the last rays of the setting sun cast their brilliance on the battlements of the Fort of Niagara, the sentries on duty noticed the lone figure of a man coming up the winding trail beside the river. As the traveller came closer, the watchers noticed that his steps were halting and his pale face suggested hunger and extreme fatigue. He was quickly admitted to the fort, for he was evidently French, and was given food and much needed rest. The next morning the commander listened to the tall trader's tale. His story was simple, but it suggested far-reaching possibilities. He had been an independent fur trader for some years and had lately left Louisburg with the intention of joining relatives who had left Quebec and gone to Ohio. He had set out to seek them and on the way had been captured by a British scouting party. They had held him prisoner for three days, then he had managed to escape. While a captive, he had overheard as well as his imperfect English would allow some fragments of conversation that had led him to think the British were planning a new attack from the south and west. After innumerable questions, the commander decided that the information the trader had gathered was invaluable and that he should be taken with all haste to Quebec. It came about, then, that two days later a small party, consisting of the stranger, Peter le Landi and twenty men with an officer in charge, left the French fort fully outfitted for the long trip east. One morning during the early part of April of the year 1757, as Pierre Rigaud, Marquis de Vaudreuil, Governor and Directeur General of New France, stood looking out of the huge south windows of the Chateau de St. Louis, he saw a group of soldiers approaching. A few minutes later it was announced that a party from the distant fort of Niagara had come bearing a despatch of the utmost importance to His Excellency. After reading the message from the commander of Niagara, the governor ordered that the trader be immediately brought before him. The Marquis de Vauc to Mont Montcalm listened to the second recitation of the interesting story and then questioned Pierre. "You say you have lived in Louisburg," Montcalm said to the stranger, "then tell me, how is my friend, the Count de Lasseur?" "Surely your highness knows that the Count de Lasseur died some time back from a malady of the chest, at least so it is said." Montcalm was somewhat taken back by the wit of the answer, for his friend had died following a thrust through the chest from a rapier during a duel. He tested the trader again and was once more given a correct answer. Surely, he thought, anyone knowing these minute details had certainly dwelt in Louisburg. His remotest suspicions were allayed when the stranger, tracing his journey on a map, and indicating where he was captured, pointed to a spot near which there were no French troops within at least two hundred miles. The Governor insisted that Pierre le Landi should be his guest at the Chateau de St. Louis, and so a few minutes after the interview we find the visitor in his room eagerly scanning the city. He satisfied himself that he was absolutely alone, gave his hair a severe tug and a wig came away in his hands. From a little pocket in the interior he drew a small map and busied himself with a comparison of the details of the plan and the view of the city that lay before him. He shook his head, Quebec had changed greatly since Bellin, an English spy, had drawn the map and collected the information The stranger was very popular. He was witty, a good musician, an excellent singer and an equally good dancer, so most of his evenings were spent at parties, balls or social gatherings. Strange to say, the Governor's guest would never take a carriage, he always went on foot. Of course this little eccentricity was overlooked—why shouldn't the Marquis' visitor do as he wished? Little did the people realize that as he walked between two gun parapets he was pacing the distance and making a mental note of his findings. Military discipline in Quebec was equally as lax as in Louisburg and so secrets that should have been jealously guarded were openly discussed by army officials and officers passing the winter in th< New France's capital. Montcalm's successes had sei The annual May Day ball held by the Governoi guests had assembled at nine o'clock and already t been enjoyed. As dance succeeded dance, the quest again—where was Pierre le Landi, the stranger fron presenting his map and S s dispatched to his r< afe^ ninutes he returned that Pierre had slumped over his desk .„ _ . ... irheard the news, which spread quickly, and before m was filled with groups excitedly discussing the ce the Governor and one or two of his men hurried with the horrible in death. A guest o long the huge balln to his guest's room. The door stood ajar and the body of Pierre le Landi was seen slumped over his writing table. His Highness called to him. There was no answer. He approached him and laid his hand upon his shoulder. What had resembled a stricken man rolled over and fell to the floor a shapeless heap of pillows. Major Patrick MacKellar of the British Intelligence Department had been very busy during his brief stay at Quebec. In his wanderings from the Chateau to the various receptions and balls he had located every battery and powder magazine in the city. All this valuable information had then gone down on a new map that was secreted in his wig. Even the simple habits of the townsfolk were noted, and so it came about that on the eve of the Governor's ball, Pierre had gone to the market place and hidden himself in load of hay.

Teachers must be qualified to enter the social life of the commun which they may be placed in order to do full justice to their positions year's class can safely qualify in this respect, judging from the enthi with which they have enjoyed our semi-annual dances and class parties. It is during these lighter moments that we really come to know our fellow- classmates. Here we may act naturally without the fear that the critic teacher may not approve of our "style," "ease," "sense of humour" or "animation." Here the worries of lesson plans are forgotten and for a few happy hours the cloak of our dignified profession drops from our shoulders and even we are mortals. The first of these happy events was the fall Semi-Annual, which was held on November 20th in the Gymnasium. But what a transformed "gym"! Its austere appearance took on a warm and frivolous demeanor. The great barren wastes were made colorful and cozy with futuristic designs and motifs in tasteful colour schemes, while the ceUing was foreshortened by cleverly entwined streamers. The floor gleamed with a "burnished surface" due to the polishing and finishing of our gallant men, and its glistening highlights tempted even the most demure to try a step. The evening's pleasure was much enhanced by the gracious, sympathetic and jolly personalities of our patrons and patronesses, who were kind enough vith their presence. At this party we were fortunate tnd Mrs. Weston, Miss Coursier, Mr. and The second occasion on which we all came together was the spring Semi- Annual. Memories of our first "Ball" were so pleasant that this party needed no further advertising to assure an overcrowded hall. Being better acquainted and feeling the need for newer environment, we held this party a little further from home, at the Peter Pan Ballroom. Such a move meant a slight demand on the treasurer's money-bag, so we decided to incur no further financial embarrassment by the addition of decorations and trusted to the interior decorating and artistic plan of the hall to lend the proper air of jollity to our dance and we were not disappointed. Everyone enjoyed himself and disproved the idea that a first-class teacher may not be a delightful dancing partner. Maybe it was the charming group of patrons who gave the party its animation and high spirits. They were Mr. Robinson, Mr. and Mrs. Anstey, Mr. and Mrs. Martin, Mr. and Mrs. Weston, Miss Coursier. Besides these larger social events, several classes held parties. Class III was the first to celebrate their good fortune in being grouped together and held a most delightful class party in the Gymnasium on February 5 th. An enthusiastic committee composed of Miss Lois Clugston, Miss Laura Hollis, Miss Jean Hawley and Miss Gladys Gerhart made all the plans for the occasion, and Mr. Weston, their class teacher, and Mrs. Weston were very gracious 1MB" ~ : • Next came Class IV's Barn Dance, a most original and much enjoyed party. The committee in charge of the decorating certainly made use of all the properties the school possessed to give a truly rustic effect. Bales of straw were tossed in just the right position to lend an admirable seat between "reels," while the glow from lanterns hung from rafters and creaking stalls threw a mysterious and wierd light over dainty maids in gingham gowns and handsome swains in overalls, who frolicked together to the strains of "Turkey in the Straw" and "Pop Goes the Weasel," played by the orchestra penned off in the background. At the sound of the dinner-bell, many hungry waltzers sought the nosebags and troughs overflowing with a variety of dainty morsels. Mr. and Mrs. Martin were invited as guests to properly chaperon the party.

I watch it slowly fade from view, As shadows lengthen one by one, And soon it is enrobed in mist— I know another day is done.

Class I won the knockout baseball series, while Class I suffered defeat at the hands of Class V. Sunburn, large fat mosquitoes, a few mouth- f uls of dust and sundry other delicacies, were amply distributed among the revellers, in fact, none of the niceties of high-class picnics were left out of the day's programme. Our instructors added to the informality of the occasion by loosening ties and shedding waistcoats. The ride home, while saddened by the thought that the end of a Perfect Day was drawing nigh, was heartily enjoyed by one and all. Community singers provided entertainment for those on the top deck, while those on the lower deck carried on thrilling maneuvers in the form of dancing to the ocean roll.
