12 VOX COLLEGII We thank you for your kind wishes. We certainly hope that we may be as successful in our work as you have been in yours. We also wish to thank you for your kindness towards us during our college life. Your aspirations have been our as- pirations and your successes have delighted us. They will be a beacon light for us to follow next year. We prize our seniors and we shall miss you. The hard paths to knowledge will be smoothed for us when we re- member how you so nobly travelled to the goal of success. Not in the sunshine, not in the rain. Not in the night of stars untold. Shall we ever all meet again. Or be as we were in the days of old; But as ships pass or more cheerily Having changed tidings upon the sea. So we are richer by those we know. And they are not poorer we trust by us. Miss Pauline Ivy, representative of the junior class, then proposed a toast to the graduates of ' 06. We wish to congratulate you, one and all, for the efficient work which you have done during the year. We as a class look forward with great ex- pectation to next year and our one ambition will be to follow in the footsteps of the illustrious class of ' 06. What a joy to have those long cov- eted privileges — heading church divi- sion, walking and shopping privi- leges, to wear a class pin and twirl a class ring round our finger. Such will be our privileges, and if we make as good use of them as you as a class have done, then we too will be worthy of congratulation in ' 07. Wishing you once more an even greater degree of success than has at- tended your senior year at O. L. C. Miss Blanche O ' Hara responded for the graduates. On behalf of the seniors it is my great pleasure to return hearty thanks to you for your very cordial greetings and this sumptuous re- past. If you have respected us for the honors we have won and the privi- leges we as seniors have enjoyed dur- ing the past year, let us say that we wish you even greater honor and re- spect during your senior year. May you achieve your highest aims and make the very best of your final year from every point of view. Again, we thank you for the kindness shown throughout, and hope that you will find realization greater than anticipation, as we have found it to be this year. We sincerely wish you the great- est success and happiness and bid you, dear juniors, a fond good-bye. The history read by Miss Ardelia Conn, brought back all the achieve- ments of the past year. The proph- ecy by Miss Torie Gierke provided much laughter and amusement, by its keen insight into the future. The class poem by Miss Grace Robinson was then read. It was a sweet little poem extend- ing hearty good wishes to each member of the class. The National Anthem was then sung and the jolly graduates ' dinner had come to an end. ■H- ■» • Miss Teskey (tying one of the girls bows) — Well (beaux) are a burden.

n luenls were served. We then retired to the colleg e alter giving hearty cheers for Faculty and ' ' What ' s the matter with Dr. Hare He ' s all right. Dr. Hare gave a dinner in the Domestic Science dining-room, to a number of his friends. The gentle- men present speak very highly of the ability of our Domestic Science class. Miss May Leatherdale, of Cold- water, is the guest of her cousin, Miss Klsie Iveatherdale. Graduates Dinner The dinner given bv the juniors to Graduation class, took place on Sat- urday, June i6tli. It was one of the most brilliant and successful allairs that the graduates have enjoyed this year. The domestic science dining-room was beautifully decorated with clover, the class flower, and large sheaves of daisies. Artistic indeed were the table decorations, clover being the centrepiece, and on either side ' 06 in daisy chains. Congratulations are in order for the junors in Domestic Science, and are certainly to be congratulated for the manner in which the dinner was planned and executed-. The menu of the sumptuous repast speaks for it- self : MENU. Consomme a ' la Royale. Olives, Salted almonds, Salmon and Macaroni Timbals, Dressed cucumbers. Brown bread and butter sandwiches, StufEed Tenderloins. Butter Beans, Potato Croquettes, Lettuce Salad, Cheese Straws, Fruit Trappe, Fancy Cakes, Bon-bons, Nuts and Raisins, Cafe Noir. Fruit punch was used in toasting. During the course of the dinner a gay and constant stream of talk and laughter was kept up, the exchange of wit and humor being particularly brilliant. At the clOvSe of the dinner the jun- ior class were admitted to hear his- tory prophecy, and poem of the illus- trious class of ' 06. Then Miss Luella Fear first pro- posed a toast to the juniors on be- half of the Graduating Class. The toast was as follows : Here ' s to the girls of ' 07, May your year be a pleavSant one. Your class a brilliant one. Your work a success. And your dinner as good as ours. Torie is going to tell us where we wi ll be next year, but w hereyer we are we shall expect to hear great re- ports from our promising Juniors. W e wish you all success in 3 our work and that you might be even more successful if it is possible than we haye been, and at this time next year that you will be the sweet girl graduate, enjoying your graduates ' dinner. Miss Ruby Shields, president of the ' 07 class, responded.

vox COLLEGII 13 Y. W. C. A. The desire of each heart is its praver, therefore each one prays un- ceasingly, wisely or unwisely. Every kind act passed on and every unkind one repressed, is a step toward God. We have come to the close of an- other year, a bright and happy one, vet as we look back and review our association work, we realize how much could be improved. Another year will come for us, if our Heav- enlv Father permits and each must put into use the knowledge which experience has taught her in the past. We wish every success to the coming editor who shall take up this office. That feeling of depressing and dis- couragement that seizes us, how it hinders our development in Christian life ! One has such a happy disposi- tion, or such a -pleasant environment that despondency seldom touches her soul. With another, it is a habit of mind. Life becomes a burden, and a cloud casts its shadow over the whole personality, darkening the face and weakening the intellect — a cloud which spreads to others. The gloomy face is attributed — however unjustly — to religion, and the Kingdom of God is hindered in the heart of that desponding person, and in the hearts of those about her. Now, girls, is it necessary for any Christian to be in this state of mind? Are there any circumstances that should prove overpowering to her j eace of mind? Jesus said Himself, Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden and ' I will give you rest. Also take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly of heart and ye shall find ' rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden light. We are sure His kind and loving words can- not be misunderstood. There is no trouble that we may not take to Him, and if we take it to Him in the right spirit He will either remove it or help you to bear it patiently and cheerfully. vTune 12 was the closing Sunday of the Y.W.C.A. The choice of a life purpose was given by our president, Miss Keagey: It was a splendid talk, her words held the attention of her entire audience and the chapel was crowded to the doors. Her life here in the College created an influence which will not be forgotten by us. Reverence for Sacred Things. W hat would human nature be if incapable of reverence? If we pause to imagine such a thing for a mo- ment, we will of necessity come to the conclusion that, without rever- ence, the w orld would be utter chaos and that there would be no such thing as morality — much less relig- ion — in existence among us. There- fore it is necessary for us to rever- ence someone or something. Let us consider the word reverence and its meaning. According to Web-
