ilap Bap A sigh of happy relief arose as May Day dawned bright and clear and we knew that the exercises could take place on the lawn. In the Concert Hall we enjoyed a short programme, including piano selections by Jane Carol Renwick, words of greeting by Mrs. Albert Matthews, and a stirring address by Miss Diana Reader Harris. This year Beth Howell was elected May Queen, with Mane Vance and Isobel Cherry as her Councillors. The crowning of the May Queen was followed by fundamentals, marching tactics, apparatus, and many dances. After the luncheon in Beth ' s honour, the school went for their annual May Day picnic, where we had the time of our lives. A trip to the movies in the evening ended another happy May Day.

t Class Teacher President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Miss Holterman Pamela Smith Jean Pogson Shirley Palmer The Lower School this year comprised the Freshmen and Elemcntaries: Ryerson Hall was their place of residence. They played an important part in the entertain- ments of the year, first their own clever stunt in December, their part in the Ugly Duckhng scene at the Swimming Meet in May, and their share in the presentation of The Midsumm.er Night ' s Dream on Class Day. Their zeal and interest in the preparation of background and costumes for dramatic entertainments of all sorts has been a great help all year, and they pieced two very attractive quilts for the Red Cross committee of the S.C.M. These activities, together with their interest in riding, skiing and fancy skating gave them an interesting and varied year. n Page Twenty-five

tratfjcona t)ifll Connie McKeen was awarded the honour of Warden of the Shield by the vote of the students, and received on Commencement Day the beautiful pm which indrcates the three qualities which the warden must possess in high degree — womanliness, athletic ability and intellectual quality. A glance over the Commencement Day programmes of Connie ' s four years at O.L.C. will justify the judgment of the students in their choice. She has had a wide range of interests and has done excellently in all. With our congratulations go the best wishes of staff and students for her future. (Cftc Ctjoir The year ' book once again pays tribute to the high place which the choir occupies in the life of the scb;. ' ol. It is not merely on occasions such as the Christmas Pageant or Commencement Day that the choir renders beautiful service to the College, but from week to week our Sunday evening chapel service acquires beauty and dignity through this means, especially in the last service before Christmas. In March the choir, under Miss Lochead ' s direction, together with her pupils and Mrs. Aymong ' s pupils, gave a Tudor entertainment with the assistance of the Art department in the stage setting and costumes. The audience, — Faculty, staff and students, — dressed in cos- tumes as nearly Tudor as ingenuity could manage, enjoyed the programme immensely. The proceeds from this entertainment were added to the students ' subscription to Red Cross funds. Page Twenty-seven
