On the twenty-fourth of May, a Tuesday, was held the traditional May Court Festival. The day was not as sunny as some of our more optimistic members had hoped, but was really a lovely day. In the Concert Hall, a short programme including piano selections by Miss iluth Lochead and Miss Jean Mackenzie and a stirring address by Miss Isabel Griffiths, M.A., was enjoyed with Prof. C. B. Sissons as chair- man. Then to the lawn where began the most important events, the Grand March, The Coronation, Tactics, Fundamentals and many other exercises. Betty Doe, one of our post-graduates was May Queen, and attended by Lena Bracci and Allison Guy, was crowned by Miss Griffiths. The exercises were concluded by a Riding Exhibition where only one fell off. The Pianists were Miss Lochead, Marjory Thai, and Valerie Farewell. After the dainty luncheon in honour of the May Queen, the school piled into buses and went on the annual picnic, where the best time was tea time. In the evening, O.L.C. en masse attended the local movie house and so to bed. Pajje Twenty-eight

g trati)Cona g t)tcID The warden of the Strathcona Shield is the possessor of one of the greatest honours of our School. She is chosen by vote of the students as possessing in a high degree the virtues of Womanliness, Intellectual Ability and Athletic Ability. The Shield was presented to the school by Lord Strathcona in 1907. It is fashioned from copper from H.M.S. Victory ? Foudroyant and bears on the back the names of the wardens since 1916. The present holder has her name on a copper plate on the front but next year when the next holder is chosen, her name will be put on the back with those of preceding years. This year, Margaret MacDonald is the proud warden and we are glad to wish her all the success and happiness that goes with this honour. Her sister won this same honour here in 1931. tEfce allotoe ' en programme Our first banquet at O.L.C. and what a night it was! As one rounded corners one bumped into the vacant smiles of Jack o ' Lanterns, and spooky black cats! And dinner in candle light! After a splendid dinner, the evening began with the gathering of guests in the Concert Hall. Rev. Mansell Irwin was chairman, and the programme opened with the Grand March of the school in Fancy Dress. Our judges were Mrs. D. R. Fletcher, Mrs. S. Alger and Mr. D. Campbell, and while their decision was being made, an entertainment was presented, consisting of recitations by Mane Paric Twenty-nine
