Biographies — Continued BESSIE A. FACEY. So unaffected, so composed a mind; So firm, so strong, yet so refined. It was a place named Hanover she blew trom — a land of ice and snow. Bessie received her High School education at Waterdown and her First at Woodstock. She has a merry disposition which wins her lasting friends and is enthusiastic, sincere and of high ideals. BEATRICE E. FLEMING. She has wit, and song, and sense, Sport and mirth and eloquence. Bee hails from Chatham, but the greatest woman has had obstacles to overcome. It was in this city that she obtained her first knowledge of the three R ' s and later graduated from the Collegiate Institute. Friends she will never lack for nature has endowed her with a peerless gift- — a cheerful disposition. HELEN HAMILTON. Fain would I beguile the tedious day with sleep. Helen was born in Watford, of honest and patient parents who are still honest but more patient. Ihr musical gift as an accompanist she brought to I.. X. S. Being an only child, she has directed her own course towards Normal, where her merry ways have won her many friends. LOTTIE HAMMOND. I can in fancy see her smile — it is contagious. Lottie went to public school in Atwood, and high school in I.istowel where she excelled in Latin, French, basketball and other delightful things. Her weakness is an Hawaiian guitar. Unavoid- able assets, a sweet smile and the unfortunate ability to do things well. ELIZABETH HOTSON. She taketh most delight in music. Elizabeth came into our midst after having successfully attended Parkhill H. S., taking her Upper School Examination at Hamilton C. I. Throughout her school life much of her attention was given to music, her training in which was received at Hamilton Conservatory. We are confident of her success along both pedagogical and musical lines. SARAH EVELYN HOW DEN. My endeavours Have ever come too short ot my desire Yet filled with my abilities. Sade comes from Watford where she received her education. She was so unfortunate as to have medals pinned on for her standing in examinations and for general proficiency. Is it for this you gain those meagre looks And sacrifice your dinner to your books? As a result of this eagerness for knowledge, and from various experiences, she has gained an unlimited vocabulary which only her friends may hear. MARGARET A. JACKSON. Her eyes as stars of twilight fair; Like twilight ' s too, her dusky hair. Among the great number of students who hailed from the Woodstock Collegiate is Margaret. While attending school there she did excellent work, often coming head of her form and winning honor- in the Lower School examination. She is a lovable sort of girl winning friends by her good nature and pleasant smile. JEAN M. E. JAQUES On life ' s long mile there was nothing worth while, But the good we did by the way. Jean received her secondary school education at — 12 — Woodstock Collegiate Institute. She was espe- cially proficient in Mathematics, always obtaining honors in the examinations in these subjects. She is known among her friends as one who is always ready to lend a helping hand. HELEN E. JARDINE That good things are done up in small parcels — Helen was born near Camlachie, December 1st, 1902. She received her early education there, and graduated from the Forest High School in 1922. There she distinguished herself by remaining one of the star pupils, until she obtained her Upper School examination. She has now entered London Normal, where she convinces all her friends. MARY ELIZABETH KEATING ' Twas how you talked and looked at things That made us like you so. Seaforth was where this Brown-Eyed Betty first saw daylight. Even at that early date her winning smile and merry eyes had their effect. Nor were they less important in the Separate School and Collegiate, where she acquitted herself credit- ably. London Normal School was indeed fortunate when Betty decided to train there to teach Canada ' s young. Our parting wish — a most successful career as a school-marm. RUBY KIL PATRICK Small is our subject. But not so our praise. Ruby came to us from the Goderich Collegiate Institute. During her course there she distinguished herself by winning two local scholarships, and finally the First Carter Scholarship for Huron. She was also an active member of the Literary Society, serving as president during her last year in Goderich.
