Teacher - ■ ■ - Miss Jaques President - Marie House Treasurer - Muriel Messinger This year Lower School consists of the Elementaries and Freshmen. The greater number live on Ryerson and many are the skirmishes after Fourth. As their stunt, they put on Hansel and Gretel assisted by Miss Jean MacKenzie at the piano. Their sets for this stunt were very cleverly made in the Art Department. Their colours this year are maroon and grey. Pane Twenty-five

£ opf)omore anli Jtlebmm Class Teacher Miss Lochead President ' Mary Gordon Vice-President Valerie Farewell Secretary-Treasurer - Margaret Russell This year the class was thirteen in number but a lucky crowd of misses for all of that. They lived on every hall and were well represented in most Middle School Classes. Their colours were green and green and at the Senior Dinner, their table was decorated in those colours by charming little Snow- White and thirteen of her seven dwarfs. Hence their class yell: Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho! It ' s time for you to know That we the mediums and sophs Are always on the go. Our members live on every hall And some are short and some are tall And if you ' re ever feeling low Just come to us and say Heigh Ho! Page Twenty-four

Commercial Class { Work and the Commercial Class works with you, has been Miss Kitchen ' s motto all year and the fruits of her labour (and ours!) were five Honour Graduates. Commercial work at times is nerve wracking but through it all Miss Kitchen has been patient and helpful. I have come, however, to believe that the expression Weighed in the balance and found wanting probably refers to a Trial Balance and that Bookkeeping between red ink and blue ink is really an art — and for some of us a lost one. For years Time has been the last word in Typewriting speed tests but follow- ing the advent of our new Commercial teacher, Miss Kitchen, came a Time Clock which is the very last word for such tests. It works! During a lull in business, we went to Toronto in taxis to attend Nino Martini ' s concert in the Eaton Auditorium. His songs will be remembered with a great deal of pleasure. After the concert, we had dinner at Child ' s, then back to dear O.L.C. The Class has done well in other branches of school activities, too. Ruth Johnstone won the Tennis Singles and Hannah Jacobs passed her exam, in Dramatics. All the other girls did very well in Dramatics, Piano, Vocal, Riding and Household Science. To our class, we wish Success and Happiness. To the future class, we throw The Torch, may it be yours to hold it high! ftlje rt department The Art Department this year, flourished under the supervision of Miss Jaques. In November, work was exhibited at the Parents ' Reception and after the Senior Recital. The girls designed and made the clever textile designs for curtains in the Art room and their practical work included weaving, bookbinding and the making of costumes, puppets and puppet box for the puppet show. Their poster work was varied and interesting and one of their members, Rosalie Holling, won a prize in the National Garden and Flower Poster Competition. The Elementaries and Lower School modelled clay and worked at pottery. Some of the outside work of the Art Department was shown at the Senior Dance in the submarine murals. Miss Jaques ' kind and invaluable help made the decorations at the Senior Dinner what they were. Miss Jaques was pleased to have six of the Carnegie prints framed to hang in the library and dining hall. Next year the Art Department has bright prospects and we wish the. ambitious group all success. J ougetjolb Science There was a small class this year, but we managed to benefit by it in many ways. We prepared refreshments and served them for the reception after the S.C.M. Bazaar and the Senior Recital. On some occasions we had some volunteer helpers, as they saw the situation which we were in — a few household science pupils to prepare quite a large amount of food. After the Senior Recital, we donned our wardrobe which busied us during the school year and paraded before our fellow students and guests, who were seated in the common room. Some of us have learned to make salads, hot dishes, and desserts, others have perfected their cakes- and pastry. All in all we have enjoyed a very happy year. When the end of the year was drawing n ear, we favoured the Seniors with a luncheon, which they say they enjoyed immensely. The only graduate in this particular course is attending St. Joseph ' s Hospital in Toronto. Pane Twenty-sis
