Education ‘31
T may be an undue strain upon both the dignity and the ingenuity of
I sophisticated graduates to become once more as little children, but
happily the transition, as it affected this Class, presented no insurmount
able barriers. The patronizing and pitying smiles of teachers; the
diabolic machinations of pupils; the tears and triumphs among ourselves
have done their deflating work, but these things have also served to
establish a unity of spirit which distinguishes Education ‘31.
The activities of the Class were by no means limited to the evolution
of pedagogical proficiency. A theatre party early in the term to see
“Old English;” a Home-Coming skit; a bridge party after mid-term
exams at the home of Kathleen Reid; and a dance at Killarney Hall in
January, were the outstanding social events. In athletics, the Soccer
team hovered around the top of the league all year, and the Basketball
team made up in enthusiasm for what it lacked in finish.
The fortunes of the Class were efficiently guided by the following
executive: Honorary President, Dr. Weir; Honorary Vice-President,
Mr. Black; President, Maurice DesBrisay; Vice-President, Thelma
Mahon; Secretary-Treasurer, Claire Menten; Women’s Athletic Repre
sentative, Marjorie McKay; Men’s Athletic Representative, Campbell
Duncan.
