©ebtcatton A. A. Ball OR twenty-one years, a full third of the life of the school, Miss Maxwell has had an important jpart in guiding the destinies of the students of the Ontario Ladies ' College, and on this occa- sion it is fitting that our. appreciation should be offered to her for her long and distinguished service. She has lent her best efforts to establish in the minds of young students the principles of scholarship, truth and beauty, all of which enter into the building of strong character and prepare for a life of usefulness and service. She has opened new fields for them to explore in sports, in the love and study of birds, and in the study and observa- tion of the stars. She has been, therefore, not only the maintainer of order and good conduct, a teacher of the first magnitude, but a leader, friend, and companion to the students. Her associate teachers have always felt the strong support of sympathetic understanding, the guiding hand of experience and accomplishment, the love and indness of a faithful friend. In her administrative capacity she has stood for a firm and reason- able policy, believing that law and order are necessary for freedom and happiness and desiring that the school should hold a high place in the confidence of the parents and command the respect of the community, the province, and the Dominion. Miss Maxwell ' s students and other friends wish for her many more years of happy and successful wor in the College whose inter- ests she has served with whole-hearted devotion. As a to en of deep gratitude and affection, therefore, we dedicate the J 936 Tear Boo to Miss A. A. Maxwell.

25t Cargcallen ' g jWe age 5IXTY-TW0 classes have been graduated from the Ontario Ladies ' College and gone out into the world. To what extent has their life at O.L.C. prepared them for living at its fullest and best? True success in living and true happiness in living depend not so much upon what we may accumulate or acquire of wealth or even position, but much more upon the nature of our relations with other people . . . the members of our own immediate families, our friends and neighbours, the various classes in our communities and nation, and even those who live in other countries. If these relations are awry, if we are ill-adjusted in any way or in any of these relations, we suffer in inward contentment and satisfaction. A boarding school is a miniature world, and life here is preparing us for the larger life and wider contacts. If we live successfully here, we shall probably live successfully anywhere. If we fail to adjust ourselves to others in the school; fail to live helpfully in relations to them; fail to ta e our share in the common enterprises and activities of the school; we shall probably fail in the larger world which awaits, and Life will not yield to us those treasures of contentment and hap- piness which it holds for those who understand its secret. The year just closing has been a good year in this respect . . . There have been few misfits in the school. We, both staff and students, have co-operated not only in the things which interest us, but also in the things which interest others, and to this extent we have pre- pared ourselves for successful living anywhere. To all students of O.L.C, but particularly to the members of the Graduating Class who are leaving the school, we wish an ever-deep- ening nowledge of the lessons begun to be learned here, an ever- growing ability to live successfully whatever the situation and cir- cumstances may be. We ho ' oe that the associations of the school life . ... its atmosphere, its traditions, its friendships, its recreations, its wor , and its worship may have helped to this end. C. R. Carscallen.
