MATRICULATION XI — ROOM 18 THIRD PRIZE Miss O ' Neill (teacher) —the keeper of the keys of the strong box which con¬ tains the elements of our characters. She has done her utmost to shut out those elements which are undesirable. Our sincerest thanks for her guidance. Lome Chandy Chandonet — “that beautiful hunk of man.” He is the capable president of our room, taking an active part in school activities.

NEWTONIAN 21 in the Army, who is fighting to make this a better world for Flo to live in. Tall, poised, sophisticated Ollie Kyan, is the secretary-treasurer of our fine class. One of her most outstanding hobbies is reading tea-cups, and at times she reads them too well for com¬ fort, doesn’t she girls? Ollie intends to become a career woman, but we think that a certain Air Force lad has dif¬ ferent plans for her future. The athlete of our room is Eleanor e Giacomin, also the sports captain which is very appropriate. Eleanor came to us from Daniel McIntyre and we are sure they have suffered a great loss where we have gained. She loves skat¬ ing, and sports in general. Hopes to become a stenographer for some large firm. We know she will succeed, with her numerous abilities. A petite dark-haired girl, Kay Sych, loves roller-skating, especially with a certain blonde-haired boy. Kay makes a splendid secretary-treasurer of the Red Cross, and does marvelous work in P.T. She is always giving her views on styles, and is a very smart dresser (probably she will become a dress- designer). A charming newcomer from Alberta, Olga Sech, has made our sides split with laughter; she always is saying the wrong things at the right time. Olga’s hobby is keeping up the “Good Neigh¬ bor” policy with a certain young man. She loves reading good novels and listening to the warbling of Bing Crosby. The only blonde in our large class is Connie Puhan, who is a very ambitious and attractive young lady. Connie plays the guitar, sings, yodels, and hopes some day to become a radio performer. We know that her fine talent, coupled with her personality will help her to achieve her goal. Evelyn Herman, a very quiet, studi¬ ous girl, will make someone a wonder¬ ful secretary and wife. She loves both classical music and jazz, and also plays the piano very well. Boys don’t seem to bother her, at least that is what she leads us to believe, but we have heard that she is carrying a torch for a hand¬ some Air Force chap. Shy, subdued and a studious young miss is Anne Buchko, who always lives in a turmoil of deep thought. Her hob¬ bies are eating chocolates, and taking shorthand Awn at break-neck speed. She intime: rei.become an efficient ste- r Jean Town-pr a lot of travelling, saying, “Why d? 11 1 - asking me thondeed, to welcome Ambition: aviatin. who was a grad¬ skating. rs back- Ethel has f, and is very well Minnie Michalysh ’nuff said, rator Pr + Ami lg up on her course, up a position very As the handsomest male of our class, we choose John Kolt (the only boy left) who has won the admiration of all the girls. He goes in for all sports, and enjoys good music. Johnny intends to join the Air Force and slay not only the enemy but all the girls whom he chances to meet. Soft-voiced Wallace Shram, who left us after Christmas to take a position, is now heard to have joined the Merchant Marine. Three cheers for Wallace who is putting his skill and knowledge to winning the war. ADVICE TO EMPLOYERS: All ap¬ plications endorsed by our class teacher, Miss McBeth. We bid you au revoir and the best of luck to the future Grade XII. —“Ollie” and “Dotty” C------ V Compliments of College Inn (opposite Bay ) and Vlassie ' s Grill (opposite Eaton ' s)
