48 THE YEAR BOOK Edna W. Curry conies from Trenton, Hastings County. Educa tionally she is a part of Northumberland also. It was Trenton High School which prepared her for this school. She thinks this is all she wants said about herself, so we let her off at that. Huntsville claims the honour of giving to Toronto Normal School Mildred Lawson. Although born in this burgh she was educated in Midland, and now resides in Toronto. She is one of those blest with the power of making friends, and as a light set high she illumines her surroundings. The teachers can always rely on her for the right answer, the girls can always rely on her as a friend, and the boys, nay, one boy may rely on her for anything. Helen Leith is a Toronto girl who came here from Jarvis Col legiate. She is winning and gentle, with an air of appeal which finds its way to all hearts and makes us hope that the winds of adversity may not blow too keenly upon her. quot;Her looks do argue her replete with modesty. quot; Jessie Limage was born in Toronto, and attended the Public School of which Alex. Muir was the Principal. She also attended school in Hamilton, and Kingston, but came back to Toronto for her igh School course, which was taken in Jarvis Street Collegiate. In Normal we find her gentle and tractable, but quot;not too bright or good, quot; to be a loveable schoolmate. Her voice has that quality so much to be desired in a woman s sweet and low. quot;To friends a friend, how kind to all. quot; Jessie May Mabbott was born and bred in Toronto. From Cole- man Avenue Public School she passed to Malvern High School, pre serving a good school record in spite of her fondness for a good time. She has carried her habit of success to Normal where her enthusiasm favorably impressed even the senders of the ominous blue slips. Though popular and sociably inclined she still moves quot;in maiden medita tion fancy free. quot; Florence MacDonald was born in the little mountain village of Princeton, Montana, and her ancestors were mountaineers. While still young she came to Ontario to spend her Public School days on a farm in South Bruce. Chatham Collegiate can tell of her deeds and misdeeds in the four years she spent there. Now she is in the Toronto Normal School, and we find her not an uninteresting companion, being gifted with a sense of humour and a desire to laugh and hear others do the same.
