Senior Class; Officers! Honorary President Class Teacher Miss A. A. Maxwell Miss B. Maxwell President Rotha Klopp Vice-President Lena Bracci Secretary -Treasurer Hannah Jacobs ®fje Mentor Bance All day Friday, February 25th, the busy Juniors transformed the gym. into a fairy land of blue and blue streamers, sea-scape murals and coloured balloons. In the early evening, Senior hearts were joyful at the arrival of flowers, messages and partners. After the receiving line, — Miss Maxwell, Dr. and Mrs. Carscallen, Miss B. Maxwell and Rotha Klopp, — was passed, the seven-piece orchestra was of main interest. The punch bowl was attended by Juniors who felt all the thrill of the occasion, and who were the willing waitresses in the Common Room and Main Hall. The Supper dance was welcome enough, but the final number came all too soon, with the playing of the National Anthem which brought to a close one of the happiest occasions of the School year. After three days of painting hearts down in the modelling rooms, the Seniors staged their annual play. This year as we looked inside the programme, we read at the very top, The Knave of Hearts. After a very fine opening ceremony, performed by Vivian Ferguson, we were introduced to the Knave, a very sneaky individual who managed to do away with all the King ' s tarts — Barbara Jones, by the way, but do you blame her? A stalwart herald, Rotha Klopp, stands on one side of the door and another herald, Dot Serviss, a little less stalwart, stands on the other side. With a mighty blast of bugles the King enters — Eleanor Coulter, with satin trousers, lace and all. The Chancellor, short but mighty, appears in the doorway; that huge moustache blocks our view, and we are unable to see who is behind it. Not even when he speaks can we recognize that deep gruff voice. Ah, now we know who it is — Lena Bracci. Lady Violetta is portrayed very well by Shirley McLarty, very stunning in a white flowing gown. Our mouths were watering something terrific when she made those lovely tarts. (We just heard they were, we didn ' t see them.) Ursula, the lady- in-waiting, — Noreen Laing — is most sympathetic, and a comfort to Lady Violetta. The two cooks, Dot Daniel and Alison Guy, make the discovery of the stolen tarts and are properly dumbfounded. Music and refreshments rounded out a thoroughly enjoyable evening. The Dining Hall was charmingly decorated on the evening of April 22 for the occasion of the Senior Dinner. The Senior table was decorated in the Senior colours, red, white and black, with red and black light-house flower vases holding white flowers. The place cards were interesting-looking sailor men and the candy boxes were treasure chests. The Junior table carried out the colour scheme of turquoise blue and brown, and the Lower School had their own colours on their tables. Each guest was provided with a humorous menu heralding an appetizing banquet. The Seniors were presented with the traditional Pine Tree coffee spoons in sterling silver, engraved with our beloved O.L.C. given by the Junior Class.

She attended Dundas Kinder- garten, Queen ' s Public School in West- mount, and Arnprior Public and High Schools. Shortly after coming to O. L. C. last September, she was elected a Charter Member of the Honour Club. Her spare time is spent in the Art room and in play- ing tennis.

Favourite Saying — Oh, dear! SHIRLEY-AHH McLARTT A merry heart doeth good like medicine. Shirley-Ann McLarty was born in To- ronto on March 16, 1920. She attended schools in many countries before coming here, but she likes O. L. C. the best of them all. Shirley is interested in Art and also sports, being active in basketball and tennis. After completing her Junior Matric, she decided to learn how to become the per- fect housewife, and this year she is gradu- ating in Household Science. She played with much flutter and sparkle the role of Lady Violetta in the Senior Stunt, which was a big success. After graduation, she is entering St. Joseph ' s Hospital for six months of practical training as a dietitian, her chosen career. Her greatest ambition is to be the proud possessor of a cream-colour- ed, 16 cylinder roadster. We hope she gets it! Hobby — Collecting recipes for that scrap book. Favourite Saying — I was going crazy! DOROTHY MERRICK She looked wise: which was just as good as understanding and much less trouble. Dorothy was born very young in Halifax in 1919. She did not like the salty tang of the air in that vicinity so she moved out west, Edmonton, to be exact. She spent her Public School days there and also High School. One day when Dorothy was toil- ing away in High School, a little birdie told her about O. L. C. and since she thought it would be nice to come here for a year, she arrived last Fall. Dorothy has taken an active part in Dramatics this year and you will remember her in the part of Hilda, which she took very well. Dorothy intends to attend University of Alberta next year. Good luck, Dorothy. Hobby — Horses. Favourite Saying — Well, I ' ll show them! They can ' t do that to me. Page Twelve

Toast list which follows and the remarks by the Toast Master, Dr. Carscallen, were characterized by humour and feeling: Our Country, Alma Mater, Faculty, Graduating Class, Other Classes, Student Organizations, College Press. baccalaureate i?unbap The church line wound its way toward the United Church on the evening of Baccalaureate Sunday, and looking back as we turnedi we saw the fourteen Seniors in cap and gown walking gravely through the gates. The Church had been charmingly decorated by a group of Juniors and Alumnae, and with the entrance of the Gradu ' ating Class, our last service began. A very thoughtful sermon was preached by Rev. Gerald R. Cragg, MA., Editor of the New Outlook, which made a deep impression upon the College group. The school returned home and lined up in Main Hall until the Senior Class had ascended the lovely Main Staircase, all singing the familiar hymn with which this ceremony closes. Refreshments were served in the Common Room, where the graduates met Mr. Cragg and other friends. pernor breakfast $artp What is so rare as a day in June for a breakfast party? In spite of all the dull- ness and dampness, the seniors started out bravely for their little jaunt across the fields. Bernadette had to be actually pulled out of bed to be ready in time. They trooped out of the school like an army — rugs over their shoulders, and food in their arms. From all reports they enjoyed their outdoor meal, which after all is the main thing. Barbara Jones collected the wood, while Shirley McLarty, Bern Henderson, Hannah Jacobs, and Vivian Ferguson fried the bacon and sausages and prepared the coffee. Along with these they had oranges, rolls and jam. Regardless of warnings Miss B. Maxwell was there — stiff neck and all; the class president presented the Seniors ' gift to her, a gold locket engraved with her initials. Lena Bracci managed to take moving pictures of the reactions of Miss B. before and after the presentation. The Seniors returned empty-handed but with hearts full of glee. Claste 5©aj The sun did not arise quite so soon as the Seniors did on Monday morning, June 6th. As they set off for their breakfast, the world had every symptom of being a very stormy one. But luck was with our graduating class, for th e rain held off until they had returned. The morning was spent in the usual manner, the lazy Juniors pressing uniforms and making a daisy chain with snowballs, spirea and daisies. The Seniors luncheon was held in the Domestic Science room with the Juniors pre- paring, serving and clearing up. At three o ' clock, the school assembled for Class Day in the Concert Hall in mingled merriment and sadness for this occasion, last but one of all the year. The Class biographies and prophecies helped cheer up the girls, nevertheless, our faces and eyes correspond with the weather outside. The Senior pins were graciously presented by Miss A. Maxwell; and some of the swimming awards by Miss Snell. The lovely strains of the School song, sung for the second to last time, closed a never-to-be-forgotten afternoon. In the evening the bonfire was great fun, the rounds and dares being enjoyed by everyone. One hates to say it, but one must admit that the teachers were very quick on the uptake and put it over on us nicely in the matter of dares. Fourteen
