Talcbictorp to 0. %. C. 1942 The prophet Isaiah in a hold and vivid metaphor once told his people, dwellers in tents, to lengthen their ropes and strengthen their stakes at a time of need. As we leave our school life we shall find that our ropes have been very much lengthened, and, lest our tents be blown over in the storm that is raging, we must have strong, stout stakes to hold us firmly and securely. In the greater freedom which we shall have, there is danger unless we strengthen the stakes of responsibility, care and faith in those ideals which we have been taught to cherish — honour, fidelity and cour- age. Until this time our lives have been, to a large degree, regulated and directed by others. We have been assigned certain tasks, shown how to do them and given help if we needed it. But now we must carry on by ourselves. We shall be tried by sterner tests, harsher standards, and according to the mettle of our characters, we shall either fall in despair before failure and disappointment, or, holding to a faith rooted in things deeper than material success, meet the demand with courage and constant resolve. It has been a happy life here, and we love our school with a love which is mingled with reverence for that which has taught us truth and discipline. It has given us, we hope, understanding, a desire to live well and helpfully, and a respect for good work. These are the strong stakes our Alma Mater has given us; like those who have left these walls before us we look ahead with hopeful pride to the wider responsibilities which the prophet likened to longer ropes. We, the graduating class of ' 42, pledge ourselves to drive our stakes deep into the soil of faith and to be worthy of the noble heritage of w ' isdom and learning that is ours.

Senior Class ropijrcp Rosie: Say, I thought I smelt onions in this Air Raid shelter! MeKeen, imagine meeting you here! MeKeen: Holling, old bean, gee, the worst Air Raid we have had in months.

MeKeen : Why Tm growing onions for the Army. They don ' t need poison gas now. Rosie: I poisoned so many people in the Toronto General Hospital they sent me over here to see what I eould do about the wounded German prisoners. What are you doing here? Jean: Oh, I ' m a Squadron Leader in the Air Foree. I was shot down in a field nearby so 1 dropped in. Say, I just bumped into Pat Lill the other day, and she ' s an Admiral m the Navy. MeKeen: Speaking of the service, Ruth Cohen ' s in solitary confinement for letting out too many military secrets. Rosie: Now that we ' re on the subject of old school chums, the authorities made Pepper Ferguson turn in her collection of Fraternity pins for scrap iron to help the war effort. Jean : Have you heard the good news? After recovering from the worst case of Chicken Pox the world has ever seen, Peggy Endean has graduated from O.L.C. MeKeen : Say, did you know I ' m still holding the Strathcona Shield, and it ' s getting kind of heavy after all these years. I was reading in Patti Gervan ' s news- paper the other day that Joan Morris has the record of saving more criminals from the chair than any other lawyer in Canada. Rosie : Did you know that Jean Turnbull and Marie Vance are the only persons that keep the Metropolitan on its feet now? Jean: You know our Senior play really inspired Marg. Hillis; she ' s lecturing on Native Folk Lore at the University. MeKeen : Poor Puddle, she just wouldn ' t listen to my advice about her diet, and now she ' s fat lady at the circus. Rosie: Buellie liked the gas station business so much she opened a chain of them across Canada and she entertains between refills with some of those fish stories of hers. Jean: Do you remember how absent-minded Betty Mackintosh was? Well, I heard that she forgot to go home from O.L.C. and she ' s still sitting up in 9 Main. MeKeen: Have you heard about the new Vitamin pill Jo Jenkins and Mary Boulton have invented? They feed it to the German prisoners and it makes them sing There ' ll Always be an England. Rosie: Now that Sir Ernest MacMillan has resigned, Esther Mahon and Isobel Cherry are taking his place at the Conservatory. Jean : Nesta Chappell got the prize for having the healthiest family of the year because hec husband is such a good Doctor.

Come on over and have an onion sandwich with me. ye Hixteen
