Gates, broken gates on rusty hing- es, modern iron gates slenderly built, aristrocratic old gates with massive posts, how they speak of the resi- dents behind their portals. Some gates shut in sorrow-stricken people and the prisoners are glad when their term is over. Other gates swing wide to let in people to happy homes and and are ever welcoming strangers to pass through to their hospitable owners. How many feet have trod past the beautiful old gates of Trataig r Castle. They have gone ' ip the )iig avenue of trees, can-ying fluttering hearts, for a new life was to pen out, gaining knowledge, strength of character and many friends. Then they have gone again out of the old gates that eloquently speak of the life within, to enter other gates, gates to private homes, gates to public careers, gates to social ser- vice. There are (J olden Gates and (iates of Paradise. These have opened to let through ou;- loved ones, ixm tiicy are waitino- to swing- them wide for us. Over the portals thtn- are watch- ing as we toil vip the hill-road to join thcni in everlasting fellowship. 2 VOX COLLEGII BIOGRAPHIES OF THE GRADUATING CLASS. Miss Hazel Beacb The worthy President of our very successful Y. W. C. A., Miss Hazel Beach, lives in Iroquois, Ont. She at- tended the Public and High Schools of her home town, and then in 1908 became an ardent student of elocu- tion at the 0. L. C. This year she was appointed Secretary-Treasurer of the Delta Sigma Sorority, and has demonstrated her executive abil- ity in this office. She was also cho- sen to uphold the honors of the elo- cution department at the College re- cital in the Toronto Conservatory of Music. Her favorito expression, 1 want to know, has won for her the reputation of being a kind of cir- cumlocution office. Hazel ' s pretty little drawl when speaking might cause us to think she is a Southern- er, but Canada claims her affections. 23 Lower Ryerson will be very lone- ly for her, and the returning students next year will miss ho- genial pre- sence. Miss Amy Cbrislidn Miss Amy Christian, whose happy face has brightened our halls for the past year, is a graduate m the Teachers ' Course in Music. She ac- companies well on the piano, and_we predict a high future for her. She also has abilitv as a teacher, which was proven in Mr. Atkinson s Nor- mal Class. Amy has many otner charming qualities, such as enjoying cocoa and cake in s. Homnth ' s room, and assistino- at like functions in MisT McCam us ' room. One day, feelinp- quite tired, and especially dis- gusted at that moment with her work in theory, she went to one of the teacher ' s rooms and dc ' jlared sh- would rat ' e ' f ke30 store than work harm onv. Tbe music would suffer a great loss il Amv shoiilH de ide to measure out yards of tape and dress goods rpiher than continue her work on the D ' a o. vox COLLEGII Miss Hazel Coles Miss Hazel Coles is one of our stu- dents from London, Ont. She at- tended kindergarten, public school and spent two years at high school, after which she took a special course at Western University. She has spent the last year at O.L.C. and her aim has been to graduate in one year. Her work here has inspired her to become a dietition in one of the American schools. We know that she will be successful and that she will be popular among the stu- dents as she has been here. We all know that Hazel is a far seeing per- son, for at the early age of ten years she made her will, but, sad to say, it is not in existence now. As for other facts in her life, suca as correspondence, rings, etc., she keeps them close secrets, but the future may help us to solve some mysteries. Miss Lucile Cook Miss Lucille Cook, Pocatello, Ida- ho, is our only Art graduate. She is to be congratulated upon her beautiful work throughout the vear. Her capabilities as a teacher have been also proven when it was neces- sarv for the Art teachers to be ab- Rrnt from their classes. In the sket- ching classes Lucille has had many and varied experiences, especially with cows who are anxious to ap- pear in the sketch. Her sweet and lovable disposition has won her many friends, and on May Day she was chosen second (Counsellor for the May Que- ' n. Central telephone will have a vacation now that Ivucille is gone. Although her home is many himdrods of miles away, yet we hear a whisper that she expects to have a little cottage near her beloved school home. 4 VOX COLLEGII Miss Etbelwyo Cunniogbano Miss Ethelwyn Cunningham, Ham- ilton. Ont., one of our elocution stars is a walking representative of the Evolution of Expression, particu- larly the first chapter, namely. Ani- mation. If vou want anything car- ried forward successfully, place it in Ethelwyn ' s hands. Both the Sun- day afternoon and Monday night services were greatly helped by Eth- elwyn ' s beautiful violin, and on sev eral public occasions she gave evi- dence of great ability on that instru- ment. She is occasionally seen tak- ing part in the athletics, but these are not her forte. It is true she can perform some wonderful feats in the physical culture class, but it is on the platform that she appears at her best, portraying some subtle emo- tions. Emerson College of Oratory, Boston, is the next chosen sphere of her activities, and we wish her great suc(ess in her new College home. Miss Mildred Dingnoan Miss Mildred Dingman is our only graduate in the Organ Department, and this examination she took with great success. Mildred is very pop- ular, always ready to help someone, and the lonely girls find their way to her room very frequently. For faith- ful work in her studies and for un- flagging zeal in the May Court Club she wins much credit. As Queen Re- gent she succeeded by a number of concerts and other means to raise the desired amount promised by the club for the hospital bed in Chentu, China. Through her assistance, the Club became a Parliament, with Speaker, Premier, Leader and Oppo- sition, and the two parties, to dis- cuss such questions as relate to wo- men ' s work among women. Mildred will be a success wherever she goes, especially in her beloved organ work. vox COLLEGll 5 Miss Winnifrcd Dobcrty Winnie, from Vancouver ia the far West. She entered Ontarij Ladies ' College in the year 1911. Dur- ing her first year in the College Win- ifred took along with her literary course, music. It is probable that she realized that music hath charms to soothe the savage breast. ' This year she entered into the graduating class and .successfully completed her work in the M. E. L. department. Her equable temper, her cheerfulness and willingness to help all, during the trying year, endeared her to her classmates. Great consternation was felt among them, when Winnie con- templated returning home before graduation, her absence would be so keenly felt. She, however, re- sisted the temptation, and will be here to graduate with the rest, which they were glad to hear. May all she attempts be as su:cessful as her w ork here durincr the past year. Miss Laura Fraser Mi.-s Laura Fraser graduates in the vocal department. She is one of Mr. Blight ' s most promising pupils, and has done excellent work this year. Her voice is a rich contralto, of great promise, and she has oper- atic ambitions. Laura is genial in disposition and makes a firm friend. Whatever she does, she does with all her heart and soul. For College sport and general fun Laura is al- ways interested and contributed her share to the Athletics. The diffei-ent societies and the Y.W.C.A. are in- debted to her for her assistance on many occasions. Probably her geeat- est ambition is to do as well in her work as her brother, who is a Rhodes scholar graduating this year from Oxford. Wherever she is, (and she expects to study abroad) we hope to hear much of her public work. 6 V( X COLLl.Oll Miss Allene Frank In the town of Brampton, Ontario, there first opened its eyes to the light of day, a small jovial atom of hu- manity, who has since come to play an important part in the M. E. ]j. class of 1912. Allene attended the Brampton f.ublic school, and after- wards the Collegiate High Sdiool, where she obtained her matricula- tion. But all work and no rlay makes Jack a dull boy, ' is Allene ' s ir otto, and it is readily to be believ- ed by those who know her, that hor Collegiate life was not all hard work. During her two years here at College Allene has won the admiration of many friends by her conscientious- ness and success in her work, find their love by her symoathy and ready wit, which shows itself at most opportune moments Her dra- matic ability in taking the funny character parts in the varjous en- tertainments given duiing the year by the Senior class has been gn ally appreciated. All success is wished her in her cc - ' ng- years :.t ' k ' lo- ronto Universi!:-,-. Miss Irma Gordcn T iss Irmgarde Gordon is ore of o; graduates from Vancouver, B.C. Alter a strenuous three years ' course at High School, she spent two years at home studying piano and china painting. The last and best two years have been spent at 0. L. C, where she has made many friends, and the old saying, Old friends are best, has been proved true, for Irma still likes the old girls best. She won a prominent position in the es- teem of the t- achers by deftly plac- ing a bowl of punch on the floor and at the same time neatly kneeling before the faculty. Mis ' ! Cordon has long been preoaring for her future household duties, as is se n by the boxes of clippings of helpful hints for the housekeeper, anh we sus- pect the future partner is, so to speak, already in the encircling good. Her ip ]k. was like a stream that runs with ir .i ' f c -innge From rocks to roses. — Anon. vox COLLEGII 7 Miss Ecrnicc Green Our American orator, Miss Bemice Green, by some known as Bud, is from the (Jrecnhouhe Gardner, Illin- ois. Twelve . ears were spent in the Gardner PuIdUc and High Schools, and in 1910 she favored our Canad- ian College with her presence. Ber- nice always presents a very demure appearance, but — ! we should °e her as J ' olonius before deciding. Many honors have been merited and given her. In her Senior yea; she was elected President of the Delta Si-nna Sorority, Counsellor of the ' ay Queen and one of the exe-cuUvc of the Y.W.C.A. staff. She will p-ive th-- or- ation at the graduation exerv ' s s, and be Alumnae cor) espondent for Delta Sigma 1912. Probably Ber- nice ' s strong point is her symp.nthy with every lonely girl, and her a ' Mive interest in all good works. 1n all the trying circumstances of College life, no one has ever heard a murmur againsi ary course of act ' on she pursued. Miss Gladys Hopewell Miss (Tladys Hopewell, known as Glad, came to the College two years ago, and decided to take up Commercial work. Her teach- ers found her faithful, and she has made a good graduate. Her cheery smile and constant state of happiness make her known and loved more than mere English could. When politics are being dis- cussed or election day is drawing near evtryone feels Glad an author- ity, on the questions of the day. She is capable of carrying on the wcig ' ht- iest arguments. She can argue with books and figures as well, and has convinced Miss Weir that she can do, for is she not otir only Com- mercial gred ? That the future holds for Gladys we cannot predict, but we wish her much happiness. Ot- taw a has certainly sent us some splendid girls this year. 8 VOX COLLE- qi Miss Gladys Jackson Miss . Gladys Jackson, Newcastle, Ont., came to the Colipg ' e two years ago. Attracted to the Elocution de- partment, she became an ardent stu- dent and a joy to her teachers. Faithfully she worked either m class work or Normal training, and be- came a pleasing personage on the platform. She has fulfilled several engagements in the surrounding towns and gives promise of being very popular, especially in children ' s characters. Gladys has a sweet dis- position, and has many friends among the students, but shows a preference for one, her great friend Alice. No. 28 Upper Francis was the scene of many of their struggles over their lessons, and it was also the scene of many victories. She goes home to rest for th summer and to gladden her mother ' s heart, for she is a daughter to be proud of. Miss Georgie Langmaid From Meadow Flats, ' Courtice, Ont., came the frir ' -nr-i litth Polly, Miss Georgie Langmaid. Our Georgie spent her early school days, days full of the careless and happy frfcdom of childhood, in the Courtice Public School. There it was, no doubt, that her sweet, sunny disposi- tion was deve ned, with which we became acquainted when in 1909 she became an e ' - - ion student tbp 0. L. C. Since that time she has been pressing forward to her gofil, namely, the degree of M.E. The faithful per formance of her duties, at all t mes, has endeared he to us. As Vi e President of the Derta Sig- ma Sororfty, and as a Vox reporter for the elocution department. she strove to do her part, winning thereby the respect of the P irls. In the davs and vears that are to be, we wish Gporffie all success and hap- piness in her chosen work. vox COLL EG II 9 Miss Elizabeth Lennox Elizabeth is a visitor from across the border. Living principally in Michigan, she attended the Colleg- iate there, and found time between the excitement and fun of public school life to graduate successfully in her fourth year. Braving the un- known terrors of the North, and anx- ious to gain a knowledge of Cana- dian life, she entered Ontario Ladies ' College as a student in the M. E. L. class of 1912, taking up first year university work. Her brilliancy and unfailing vivacity assured her from the start a lasting popularity. The M.E.L. class regrets exceedingly that Betty is not remaining to grad- uate. Receiving her diploma befox ' e she goes, she leaves for the States some days before the closing exer- cises commence. Her bright face and attractive personality will be much missed among the graduates of 1912. The thoughts and wishes of all go with her, along with the hope of her return to Canada in the fall. Miss Lila McAmnoond Miss Lila McAmmond has graduat- ed both in the Teachers ' Piano Course and in Vocal. Her undertak- ing has been a heavy one, and she has achieved marked success in it. For a time she left us to live in To- ronto, but after Easter Lfla found hei- way back to her old associates, and we were glad that she made such a good graduate, taking first- class honors in her vocal examina- tions. Her voice is a rich contralto, and Dr. Fisher thinks there is a fu- ture awaiting he ' -. She has always been very good-natured about as- sisting at the students ' concerts and has frequently criven ' ocal numbers at concerts in the neiqrhborine- towns- What the fates have in store for Lila wp pre unable to make out, but it is whisDered around that she expects to teach (?) 10 vox COLLEGII Miss Mamie McCamus Miss Mamie McCamus is h gnid ' uate in the Teachers ' ) x m Piano. As a student during ' -Overal years at the College she -von the es- teem of teachers and students I y her careful work and her gentle auJ Kind- ly disposition. As a teacher of piano during the past year she has shown the same devotion to duty and the same love of her work. Miss McCamus has a large sense 6i hu- mor. She tells stories in a droll lit- tle way which is quite her own, and which never fails to call forth a mer- ry laugh. Her gift of fortune telling from a tea cup has often made the evening meal or the afternoon tea a merry one. The future will reveal whether these fortunes really come true or not. Miss Alice Newport In ' Whitby was born Lady Teazle nee A] ice jS ' ewport. Alice was known as a reader of considerable ability in Whitby and vicinity long before she came to our College, and since then she has been in great demand. She is determined not to relinquish her hold on the elocution department, and has just been elected Treasurer of the Delta Sigma Sorority. Alice and her friend Cladvs, are a Ruth and a Naomi combination. Their motto is All the world is queer but me and thee, and even thou are a little queer. Alice is a splendid stu- dent, and should continue her studies as a post graduate. Tbroug-h ail kinds of weather she never failed to be present at her work, and if faith- fulness in a criterion of success she de- serves the r nlT . Whitbv should be proud of Ali-e Newport. vox COLLEGII 11 Miss Eloise Noecker Eloise Noecker ' s home is in Water- loo, Ontario, where she matriculated from the Berlin Collegiate and the Technical Institute. During I ' IO and 1912, she has been a student at O.L.C., graduating in Household Science. Miss Noecker is very witty, and her affable manner has made her a general favorite. The little folk also find her a fast friend, entering into all their interests. Planning dm- ners and luncheons seem to be her only pastime, for even when taking a hay-rack ride on May Day to Cor- bett ' s Point, she was working out a menu. We know she is a good cook, for she has kindly brought up from the D. S. many tempting samples. Because Eloise is a Berlin girl she can do no wrong, at least all Berlin girls must keep up that reputation. A true friend, ready to enjoy any fun, she makes a splendid comrade, so sav we all. Miss Dorothy Rowland Miss Florence Washington Blais- dell-RowlaTid is one of the most important personages of our graduating class. Her early ed- ucation was obtained in England, where for four years she attended the Hillside Convent, near London. Early in lif she was seized by the wanderlust, and immigrated to Mil- waukee, in 1911 she first appeared at the Ontario Ladies ' College, where Bhe startled the natives by her clever sketches, her masterly pe;formance at the piano, and her brilliant ans- wers in (Jerman. Last September she enter d the graduating class in the M. E. L. department and has dis- tinguished herself by winning the sil- ver medal. She is also a bright and shining iip-ht in the music depart- ment, and has proved to be far above the averaire student in versatility of accomplishments. Her chubbv little personage has become very dear to all of us, and those returning next year will be delighted to see her round, smilinp- face and herald her as the onlv returning graduate from the class of 1912. 12 VOX COLLEGII Miss Vivian Rowse Vivian, winne; of the gold medal in the M. E. L. class, has been the shining light of that department dur- ing the whole year. Born in Oshawa, Ont., Vivian moved to Toronto at an early .age, and attended the Har- bord Collegiate, where she worked her way up steadily, winning the ap- probation of her teachers. In her second year at Ontario Ladies ' Col- lege, Vivian entered the M.E.L. class of 1912. Perseverance overcometh all obstacles.. This combined with her great natural ability, obtained for Vivian the honors of the olas.s during the past year. Not only here was she so successful, but also in Toronto, where she passed the Uni- versity examinations with General Proficiency standino-. Notwithstand- ing all these honors, Vivian remains as unassuming as ever. Although much envied bv her classmates, they all feel that she merits her success, and wish her the same in the future- Miss Wilnoa Rowse Mi-s Yilma Rowse received her sen- ior matriciilation from Oshawa, and following that alt nr ' - ' ' - !• = .cuity of Education in Hamilton. As a change from study she chose teach- ing, and thus spent a year in the West, where she won fast fiiends. She has succeeded in her mission of looking after her ]i + if- - ister during this past year. On February loth Wilma sustained a heavy loss. Many sympathizing friends rallied about hei ' in a vain attempt to assuage her sorrow — her con dress failed to fit. She has appeared in mourning ever since. As far as we know, her future course is very indefinite, but to aid her to choose she has received many helpful hints. We know a lot more but for various reasons it can- not be told yet. Next vear will be spent in travelling- abroad, and we hope that she will not soon foi ' get the many friends of her school life. vox COLLEGIl EDMONTON. By Mrs. (Dr.) Hislop (nee Harriet Oliver. It is a far cry from the Ednioniori of fifteen years ago to that of to- day. This is the day of the last best West, and like all Western towns which were as nothing yesterday, we have a thriving city to-day. The case of Edmonton is, however, some- what different, for even in the days when the buffalo roamed un- molested over the broad expanse of prairie, Fort Edmonton was an es- tablished trading post of some im- portance, belonging to the North- West Fur Trading Company. At the time of the proposed con- struction of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Edmonton was mentioned as being a coming place, as the then survey pictured the C. P. R. going through Jasper Pass, which was supposed to be in such direct line that our main street, Jasper Avenue, was said to follow through the pass. This caused a comparative boom which, however, was doomed to break as the railway decided to follow along the prairies and take the Kicking Horse pass route in- stead. Some of those who had come in the expectation of immediate rail- road d ' velopmpnt, when they found their ' hopes dis-appointed, pulled out, but a small number remained. For about fifteen years the Old Timi rs will tell you they had a pret- ty lean time of it, as all supplies had to be freighted by ox team from Winnipeg. Sugar was twenty- five dollars a hundred, flour was about the same price, apples, which you have in .such profusion in the orchard at O.L.C., M ' cre unknown ex- cept the dried variety : tea was two dollars a pound, and all other neces- sities were in the same proportion, while luxuries were unknown. For all that, the people lived a fairly happy and contented life for the rea- son that no one was any better off than his neighbor. The rebellion of ' 85 was about the only excitement that broke the ' mon- otony of life until the Klondyke rush. Before ' 85, however, a Methodist church, a public school and a weekly paper had been established so the nu- cleus of the present city was formed. The story of the construction of that pioneer church is an interesting one. Rev. G. McDougall had the lum- ber hand sawed and floated down the river by raft to Edmonton. And there with the aid of a few men and incredible energy and enterprise, he built what to my childish fancy was the grandest architectural monument that ever was, and which, to my grown up fancy signifies the spirit of steadfastness and heroism of the pio- neer missionary. The printing press for the weekly paper was freighted in as all other merchandise came, via ox team; and soon telegraph communication was established between Edmonton and Winnipeg, a thousand miles awav. About 1897 and ' 98 the Klondyke rush started, and Edmonton began to come into prominence. Anyway which enabled the gold-crazed men to get there ' w as utili-erl. Some went down the Athabasca and Mac- kenzie Rivers, nortajjcd across the di- vide to the head waters of the Yu- kon and so arrived at the gold fields safely. Some experienced travellers tried the overland route and got through safely, but these were the men who knew what supplies to take, how to pack, how to cook, and above all, how to endure. But the tenderfoot or the mon- ias and his name was legion, who started out at an un.seasonable time of year, or with insufficient provis- ions, or without a knowledge of camp cookery, met with disease. 14 VOX COLLEGI starvation and death. To such an extent was this the case that for many years the road they followed was known as the death trail, strewn with its gruesome proof of the doc- trine of the survival of the fittest. A few years before the Klondyke excitement, the C.P.R. had built a branch line from Calgary north to Strathcona, a village three miles away from Edmonton, but directly across the river, as the crow flies. So the inhabitants were able to get out of the town, but they lacked the means of attracting settlers to come into it. Yery slow indeed was the growth of this choice corner of the world un- till 1905, when the Canadian North- ern Railway reached Edmonton and so made the town independent of the C.P.R. In the same year Alberta was ad- mitted as a Province of the Domin- ion, and Edmonton was made the caf iail. A year or two later the Uinv-ersity of Alberta was located at Strathcona, ard then the idea of the amelgamation of the two towns be- gan to take definite shape, and this year it became an accomplished fact. T ' ' is not so easy to a complish as mij ' at at fi rst appear, as there are very ste p banks along t e river here and two towns made one wi hout a connecting link was +00 a] surd f r words, so the ' ro-i-cial (Govern- ment, the municipalities of Edmon- ton and Strathcona and the C.P.R., each contributed towards the build- ing of a high level bridge with rail- way and traffic decks, so that we shall soon be able to go directly across to Edmonton south, a dis- tance of one mile, where formerlv one travfllcd a d ' stanc° of three miles up hill and down dale. The need for more railroad compe- tition is constantly makino- itself felt, and for that reason it was a grand day for us when the Grand Trunk Pacific stretched itself into and beyond Edmonton, and mough it will not be completed for at least two years more, it has ali-eady done much towards opening up the vast country to the west, and will in time become one of the most important commercial highways on the conti- nent. Thus we arc now in the happy position of having three railroads running into Edmonton where eight years ago we had none. Tn the country surroundings and the gardens of simny Alberta, in which all vegetables and grains that thiive in Ontario can be grown with equal success here, small fruits and crab apples grow well, but the tend- erer varieties of fruits have not yet been attempted. Dairy farming is in its infancy as yet, but the con- ditions are so favorable that it is safe to assume that once having- ac- cess to an assured market, it will he- come one of our most thriving indus- tries. At north Edmonton is situated a large packing plant owned by the Swift Canadian Company, which ser- ves as a market for dressed meats for all Alberta, in which product we hope to take a place second to none in the markets of the world. Besides these industries Edmonton boasts of three lumber mills, and several factories, box, sash and door, office supplies, etc. the material for which is obtained from the vast tim- ber limits near the head waters of the Saskatchewan and aloi e the nu- meroi7s other rivers that drain the coiuitry. The r?vrnue obtained from the trade in f ' irs is still very consider- able, as Edmonton is the di-tribu- tion point for traders ' sunplir-s as well as the. point from which pelts are shipped to EIngland and foreign countries. All throup-h Northern Alberta are strata of I ' s nite coal, so that the ever present fear of coal fnmine which is a terror to the dwellers on the prairie, is unknown here. The G. T. P. has established shops at Caldor. n suburb of Edmonton, and the C. N. R. will in all probabil- vox OOLLEGIL 15 ity do likewise in the near future— the economic significance of these in- dustries is obvious. Besides the large railway pay roll, there are many men employed in the construc- tion of such public buildings as have been found necessary since provin:ial autonomy was granted. The Parlia- ment buildings and a handsome Court House are nearing comple- tion. Government house is in c()urse of construction, and a very credit- able post office has been accommo- dating the public for some time. Jn the matter of churches and schools, our city compai ' es very fav- orably with any in Canada. Besides the University buildings and the affiliated colleges, Alberta (Methodist , and Eobertson (Presby- terian), there are two high schools, twelve large public schools, three convents, with all the buildings con- nected with them, besides tour churches of each denomination, Methodist, Presbyterian, Church of Ensrland, Baptist and Roman Cath- olic : so that all mental and spiiit- ual needs are in a fair way of being attended to. Nor arc our bodily ills any less faithfully served, as there are four hospitals In Edmonton, and one in Edmonton South ; and becatise of the expanse of country which is S ' rv- ed by these hospitals, there is a con- stant need for more accommodation. As in every new country, from all who have the intei ests of the city at heart, tremendous effort is required to care for the large number of peo- ple constantly coming in from the Old Country, from Eastern Canada and from the United States. For this reason, it is to be expected that our churches and hospitals, our schools and hotels are taxed to the utmost to keep pace. It is hardly fair to expect the city fathers to attend to all these things when the- must needs supervise such interesting details as sanitation, lighting, paving, street cars and water supply, as these utilities are all owned and operated by the mu- nicipality. It therefore rests with the women to undertake the larger charities, such as the Children ' s Shelter, the District Nurse and the furnishing of hospitals ; and to advocate and carry out the establishmen t of play- grounds, the election of a woman school trustee, and laws for the bet- ter protection of women and child- ren. All these things require time and energy, and these are freely p iv- en by all our citizens in order that Edmonton may become the greatest and best citv in all of the Last Best West. 16 VOX COLLEGIl WHEN MINUTES WERE HOURS. (Continued from May number.) For the apparition which followed I was totally unprepared. Instead of the clumsy, unkempt form of the hobo I expected, a long, bent, some- thing clad iuswhite limped into the room. Then a flash of lightning showed me more clearly this crippled apparition. He carried a staff in his bony hand to aid him as he walked. His long, white hair streamed over his bowed shoulders. His face ap- peared a yellow-white, and was long and gaunt like his body. A more fit- ting representation of anything there could not be than was this wraith, of the age and desolation of the house and indeed of the entire surroundings. So numb was I that 1 was quite unconscious of any physical or men- tal sensation whatsoever. To have moved would have been as impossi- ble as to have grown wings on the spur of the moment and flown out through the wall. I think I was ex- periencing paralyzing fright of the natural being or the unnatural being That this creature had no designs on me was evident from the first. He had a purpose in coming into that room, but clearly I was not that purpose, for he gave not a passing glance at the bed. He limped slowly across the room to the window, cracking his staff on the floor at every step. I could not see cl early what he was doing at the window, but could hear him fumbling with its latch apparently. Another streak of lightning flashed through the -win- dow and seemed almost to strike him. He uttered a ghastly shriek and staggered back, recovered him- self, swaved this wav and that and crumpled down in a heap. How long he lay there I cannot say, for I was in no condition to reckon time. It might have been hours or it might have been min- utes. I wasn ' t even conscious of wonderingr if he would ever rise. But rise he did after preliminary groan- ings. . Twice he fell back in his at- tempts to raise himself, but finally he succeeded in getting up. Time was interminable in his progress a- cross the room. He forgot to lock the door when he went out, and I could hear everv step of his progress down unendine flights of stairs . At dawn I drew my first breath — I ' ll always remember that breath — it seemed as though I ' d been dead for some years and this was resurrec- tion. I never realized before what a lovely thingr it was to breathe. The horror of the night recurred to me and I breathed again. Could it have been a dream ? I remembered the unlocked door and I rose and went to it. There in the outside of the door was the key, and both the keys I ' d received the night before lay on the table. At last I, who was a sceptic in things occult, had been visited by a ghost with an evidence left behind. The station agent said when I re- counted this tale to him : I am sor- ry to spoil your little story, but I forgot to tell you about the old man that sleeps in the basement of the hotel sometimes.

The Commencement Exercises at the Ontario Ladies ' College- are al- ways the crowning event of the school term at that institution, and this year they have lost none of their interest or importance. To some thoy come as the last function of school life, and to others they are one mile post more along the way to the goal already attained by their fellow students. All, therefore, have a part in these exercises, those who denavt to return again, and those who depart to return no more in the capacity of students. On Friday evening last the first event took place in the concert given by the undei-graduates. The pro- gram was varied and was highly ap- preciated by those present. Fifteen of the undergraduates took part as follows : March in B flat (Silas), Miss Nora Tucker ; When the Heart is Yoimg ' ( Dudley Buck). Miss Ger- trude Anderson ; (a) Liebestraume No. 2 (Liszt), (b) Cuirlandes (Godard), Miss F. Oberholtzer ; The Boar Story, (,J. Whitcombe Eilev), Miss Corona Garnham : Lurline (Hans Seeling), Miss Nora Tucker ; Hir doo Slumber Song (Hariet Ware- , Miss Ruth Rvan : (a) Jong- lerie (Godard), (b) Sprites of the Glen (Dennee), Miss Dorothv Har- vey ; (a) A Perfect Dav ' ( Carrie Jacobs Bond), (b) On the Shore (Nndlmger), Miss Leara Gillis ; Im- promptu No. 2 ' ' (Chopin), Mi.ss Amy Christian ; The Going of the White Swnn (Gilbert Parker V, Miss Alice Bntler ; Aneel Land (Pinsuti), Miss Ethel Drinkwater ; A Dream (Bnrtlett), Miss Belle Elliott ; Sex- tette Bizzaria (Pagnoncelli), Misses D. Harvev, M. Sharpe, F. Oberholt- zer. A. Green, A. Meath, M. Watt. On Saturday the Art. Fancy Need- lework and Domestic Science Sewing ' Exhibit were open from 4 to 5.30. Then at six o ' clock came a banquet given by the Juniors to the Seniors. On Sunday the Baccalaureate ser- mon was preached in the Methodist Tabernacle by Rev. W. H. Hincks, D. D., of Toronto. The young ladies were present in a body, and the grad- uating class occupied a section re- served for them. Dr. Hincks read as his text, Luke 10 : 38-42, but took especially as his text verse 42 : But one thing is needful : and Mar - hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. To the graduating class Dr. Hincks spoke words of advice and encour- agement. He urged them not to give up books and music, just because their College days were ended. They had only begun to absorb know- ledge. The speaker proceeded to show how in every walk of life the educated woman is more successful than the uneducated. Health is much better, homes are happier, and the standard of morals is higher bo- cause of education. Education in- spires one with an ambition to be more than a mere parasite on so- ciety, enjoying the pleasures of life without giving back anything in re- turn. Dr. Hincks said he hardly knew a worldly woman who is a college o-raduatc. The speaker con- cluded his powerful address with a plea for the development of the king- dom in the heart. The beauty that lasts is not of the face, but of the spirit, and Dr. Hincks urged the v oung- ladies to cultivate this beau- ty of soirit and character, that would only become more beautiful as the days go by. Monday was Graduates ' Day. At 4 p. m. were held the class exf rHses, consisting of oration, poem, proph- ecy, etc. At S p. m. the graduating class eave a concert, of which the following ' was the program : Torchlight March ' (Guilmant), Miss M. Ding-man ; Guinevere (Tennyeon) Miss {Tazel r eacli ; ' S. 18 VOX COLLECtII Slight Misunderstanding ' ' (Dickens), Miss Gladys Jackson; (a) With a Water Lilv (Grieg), (b) II Segreto Per Esser Felici ' (Donizetti) Miss Laura Fraser ; The Vision of Sir Launfaul (part I-), (Lowell), Miss Bernice Green ; The Vision of Sir Launfaul (part II), (Lowell), Miss Georgie Langmaid ; Selected, Miss Lila McAmmond ; The Rivals (Sheridan), Miss x lice Newport ; The Climbers (Act III) (Clyde Fitch), Miss Ethel wjm Cunningham. Trafalgar Daughters ' Day, Tues- day. June 18, was a great success in the number who attended. Visitors from Toronto and other places came, and a little after four o ' clock they all assembled in the drawing-room for the business meeting. The ques- tion of interesting the students in the Society was discussed, and a prize of 5 was apportioned to be given for the best essay on a subject chosen by the Faculty. Also 10 was voted to be given to some student chosen by the Faculty to undertake the task of indexing all former students of the College. Since the inception of the College many students have been lost sight of, and no time should be lost in hunting them up and lea ning their addresses. A splendid banquet, prepared by the committee under Mrs. Ross and Miss Tait, and served by ten Juniors, was much en- joyed. Mrs. James. L. Hughes, the guest of honor, held the ladies for half an hour, taking as her subject : Keep up with the times. The evening program was a violin recital by Miss Julia 0 ' Sullivan, as- sisted by Miss Gwendolyn Strong- man. Dr. Hare made an address of welcome, to which Mrs. Perfect, of Toronto, replied. The recital was one of the best of its kind ever given here. Mips O ' Si llvan has wonderful control over her violin, and the tone is c ear and beautiful. Throughout the lengthy program of selections the audienre was held in wrapped att ntion, and at the con- clusion, insisted upon an encore. The skill attained by Miss O Sullivan is wonderful, and her future can only be of the most brilliant character. Miss Gwendolyn Strongman is also known here, having appeared before Whitby audiences many times. Her voice is clear and strong, and her contribution to the program was highly appreciated by a music lov- ing audience. Following are the selections rend- ered during the evening : Miss Julia 0 ' Sullivan, violiniste, assisted by Miss Gwendolyn Strong- man, contralto.

' Mother ' s Sunday has been celebrated in the Old Land for some time, but it was not until 190S that Annie Jarvis introduced the custom in the United States and Canada, which countries have celebrated the cus- tom for only two years. Many days. Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc., are celebrated throughout the year, but every day in the year is Mother ' s Dav, therefore it is rip ht that once a year we should celebrate Mother ' s Day. On this day let us do some distant act of kindness for out moth- er — write her a letter of praise and gratitude ; or if she is not living, do some kindness for one of her friends to commrmorate her memory. Let us remember that Christ set us the oxampl ' . When he wnsm a- ony on the cross, he provided for bi moth- er by asking one of his dis ipks to take her to his home. Many beau- tiful things come bv do r-us— aunts and uncles, cousins, brotht .s and sis- ters, but only one mother in all the world. The best monuiiient ' a child can raise to his mother ' s mrmory is that of a clean, pure life such as she would have had her child live. Sunday, May 19. Miss Aita Green spoke on Tennyson ' s well-known quotation — Self reverence, self knowledge, self control. These three alone lead life to sovereign power. Self reverence is often mistaken for false Dride. All people need a certain amount of self -reverence, but As is often the case, people think too much about themselves, rather than of themselves, thus mistakincr false pride for true pride. True pride will make each reverence herself too much to stoop to anvthing l- w, and vox COLLEGII 25 throug h this reverence keep herself pure. We should examine ourselves, our capabilities, our talent, and then set about to develop our weak points. We will all be called upon to give an account of the use we have made of our talents, and when we know our- selves and have the right spirit, we will g-o ahead and do our very best. We all have some great failing, and when we have found it we must try to overcome it until we have gained the victory. Temper is one of the worst things we have to control. All need some spirit, but the true man is he that controls himself. Studv to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that necdeth not to be ashamed, rightly divining the word of truth. Sunday, May 26. Miss Lillian Brown addressed the meetinsr, taking as her topic, Christ ' s Teachings about Service. ' ' God has a definite plan for each one of us. He is our guide and we must follow Him. Paul is a splendid example of service. He gave up all and followed God, and who on earth was happier than Paul ? He could sing- in prison. We must place ourselves in perfect har- monv with God, and when duty comes to us, even though we dislike it. we can do it. God has never call- ed people to do that which is too hard for them, for he supplies the grace. God gave us our life. Are W6 ffoins ' - to put it to no use in His kingdom ? Through prayer we will know what God ' s purpose for each on? of us is. Sundav. Ju)ie 2. Mrs. Hare gave a beautiful address on the Two Ways. When college days are over and wo leave, there are two ways open to us. Which will we choose ? There is the broad way with all the sin and selfishness, and its end is death. There is the narrow way which leads one Home. Christ says in Matthew 7 : 14, Enter ye in at the straight gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leadeth to destruc- tion, and many there be which go in thereat. But straight is the gate and narrow is the way which leadeth unto life, and few there be that llnd it. Did we ever think that our Heavenly Father was lonesome for some of his children ? Just as our earthly father loves us, so God loves us. He wants us for his service. To choose the narrow way means oUch joy and happiness. Helping others and doing good in God ' s beautiful world should come before the selfish pleasures and unsatisfying gaiety of the broad way. A life of consecra- ted service is the highest life one can live. After this the Welcome Home. Miss Rose Cullen, B.A., a iovm ' T teacher, and for five years becietaiy of the Y. W. C. A. in Paris, i ranee, gave the farewell address on Sunday afternoon, June 9th. A pleasing tc ' a- ture of the last afternoon tog-.ahfr as a Society was the music, hoai ' ty singing accompanied by the piario, violin and organ. ...Miss Calien took as her topic, The need of a spmi.ial life to be of real service. She irave instances whei ' e people gave laarh of their energy and time to heio tl eir fellow creatures, but when Ihev did not show them the beautiful life of Christ and His power to sweeten theirs, the work soon failed. M ss Cullcn also explained the work a- mong British and American stadeij s in Paris, and the efforts made to cre- ate a home life for ihem. Sh- is now Student Secretary for Canad ..

On May 23, 1912, at Buffalo, N.Y., Miss Jennie Hawkins was married to Mr. Louis Kanchl. Mr. and Mrs. Kanchl will reside at 915 Jefferson St., Buffalo. The Vox wishes them a long and happy life. Miss Wright, A.T.C.M., is spending a part of her vacation with her sis- ter in Toronto. As teacher of both piano and organ, also organist in the Methodist church, her vacation will be very welcome. Mrs. (Dr.) Allan Adams, (nee Net- tie Norris,) Toronto, favored the College on May Day with a visit, bringing her two young sons. After dinner she put them to sleep in her old room, 18 Lower Francis. A number of former teachers gath- ered this year at the annual re-un- ion of Trafalgar Daughters. A most delightful and interesting time was spent, the one sad note being tho thought that Miss Burkholder was with us for the last time as our host- ess. Miss Grace Weir is at her home in Gushing, Quebec ; Miss Grace Clough A.T.C.M., wall be in Kingston, Ont.; and Miss Mildred J ordan, expects to be home, Pitts field, Mass.

We do not know Miss Alien s plans for the future but wherever she may be or whatever her work she has al- ways the best wishes of her friends of 0. L. C. days. Miss McGillivray was made the happy recipient of an illuminated ad- dress, given by the ladies of the town on the eve of her departure for a year of study in the Old World. Mrs. Geo. Cormack gave the At Home, in honor of Miss McGillivray, and a most interesting afternoon was spent everything being done to wish her Godspeed. As a student Miss Ada Eobertson won the love of teachers and stu- dents by her faithful work, happy disposition and unfailing kmdness to all. As u teacher she lias been no less beloved by everyone in the Col- lege. She expects to spent next year at her home in Maxville, Ont., rest- ing from her arduous work of seven years spent in Whitby. Mrs. Finlayson, (nee Kate Archer), former teacher of violin and harm- ony, is experiencing a beautiful holi- day in Prince Edward Island. She writes of her wedding trip through England and Scotland, and of a hurried stay in Toronto, then on to Nova Scotia and P.E. Jsiand. A lit- tle domestic life is also enioyed, dress-makino- and cookery, but her beloved violin still holds first place. Every one at the College, as well as her many friends in town have been greatly delighted to have Miss Copeland visit us twice recently. To teachers and students of recent years it is difhcult to think of the College without associating with it Miss Copeland. She has given much of her strength and her love to her work heie. and in return has won the love of all who knew her. Our European party, Dr. Rare Miss McGillivray, Miss Rowland and Miss Tait sail on the Uuyal George Tuesday, June 26. We wish them the happiest of times while crossing the ocean together, that they may enjoy all the historic places and scenes of the Home Land, and come back to us completelv rested and re- freshed. Their address will be Canadian Government Offices. 17 Victoria St., London, England. Several of our former teachers Have responded to the call of the great West in the years which have gone, and this year Miss Iku-kholder goes to become Lady Principal at Alberta College. At present we can scarcely realize what this means to the Col- lege here. She has been an unfan.ng friend to the teachers and students. The writer recalls veiy vividly her many kindnesses during four years associated with her as a teacher. Vn- selfishness, gentleness and a largo sense of justice are the keynotes of Miss Burkholdrr ' s character. Her clear judgment and unfailing sense of humor have smoothed for her and her associates many places that would otherwise have been rough. During twent - years of her resi- dence in the Coilpp-e she has made a multitude of friends among the girls who represent nearK- every town and city in Canada, and manv in the Tinted States, even from far away Yiikon in the north, to -Jamaica in the south. No one can estimate her influence upon these girls and through them on the life of the future. It is not too much to expe • i ' ' t in their homes her idpals will create the at- mosphere that will be the governing force, and as mothers they will ti ' ain thnir children by the rules develoned in hpr Thursday niffht talks.

She has also trained in the Possi Gymnas ium and comes with the best methods of teaching physical exercise. She will be a welcome member of the Faculty, and from her splendid platform work, we are assured her pupils will sustain the high reputation the Elocution department has already won. The bright sunshine outside and the happy greetings of friends and good cheer within, made Trafalgar Daughters Day a joyous one indeed. From Toronto came Mrs. Jerrold Ball, (Emma Moore) ; Mrs. A.rx.

Mrs. 0 Sullivan, of the Mercer, To- ronto, gave a very instructive talk before Trafalgar Daughters and the ladies of Whitby in the College draw- ing-room last Thursday afternoon. Her sub ' ect was on the work she is fngaged in — Rescuing Women and Girls. ' ' She told how these people are sent to her, and the efforts made after the - arrive at the Reformatory to reclaim them. Situated as the Mercer is, in the midst of factories and railroads, she deplored the lack of outdoor employment. If a plot of ground could be obtained outside the city, large enough to employ the in- mates in gardenincr, no ' iltry raising, horticulture, bee-keepiner and dairy- ing, many of them in this new home could be reclaimed through healthful work and contact with nature. The speaker also wished to bring the matter of longer sentences before the Government. Light s ntmces gave her no opportunities to make impres- sions for good on the prisoners. A sentence should not be shorter than tM ' o years, for then there was hope of the character being made strong en- ough to overcome temptations when again at liberty. Mrs. O ' Sullivan is a welcome visitor to Whitby and to the College, and we hope that we shall soon have the pleasure of hear- ing her speak again on her great work. vox COLLEGII 29 Oratory DELTA SIO MA. The Delta Sigma Sorority gave their last concert for the year, May 17th. The prog-ram opened with a chorus of school children, three little girls and three little boys. Then Mina Loucks directed the program of three clever animated dolls, who walked, talked and acted like real, live babies. This was followed by a short play, Her Uncle ' s Boots, in which the girls showed the usual bra- very and resourcefulness of women, in hunting down a real live burglar, and found merely a pair of boots. But these same boots proved the means of explaining away the mis- understanding between Miss Isabella and her lover, and leading to a happy reunion. Each girl did her part well. The Sorority decidprl to have a picnic at the lake on the afternoon of June 18. The will hold their farewell meet- ing on Commencement Dpv, when the rose sweep-stakes will be prei- sented.

A programme of merit and tasteful N-ai ' i ty, produced recently by the pupils of the Ontario Ladies ' College, Whitby, pleased an audience which filled the music hall of the Toronto Conservatory of music to its capa- city. The reception accorded the woik of the students was no less a tribut to the popularity of the in- stitution than it was a mark of com- mendation for the efforts of those re- sponsible for the artistic training of the young women, for the approval could not have been less warm had this been the home of the college in- stead of a community of more or less critical cultur( , which the pupils ask- ed to pass upon tlieir accomplish- ments. Suc;es-fu], perhaps, beyond any of its predecessors, the concert resulted m a further demonstration of the place the college occupies as a centre for the artistic training of young women. At the close. Rev. J.J. Hare, prin- cipal ot the College, addressed the Jargp audience hrMW ,is to the work ot the institution, paving a just tri- f.I! . , h ' former professors at J hitbv,among whom were mentioned Vr. Tornngton, Dr. Fisher and Mr J. W. F. Harrison, with marked ref- erence to the present musical director, Mr. G. D. Atkinson. The concert was held under the patronage of His Honor, the Li ' i- tenant-Governor, who, with Miss Miss (iibson, was present. The programme was nicely balanc- ed between vocal and instrumintal music and declamation. The open- ing selection on the organ, ' ' Toccata anci Fugue in D Minor (Bacli i. by Miss Mildred Dingman, was one of the most pleasing of the evening. Miss Dorothy Harvey ' . rendering of Sprites of the Glen (Dennee), a pianc composition of air- iness, revealed the ability to handle light themes with distinction. Saint Saens ' Scherzo, Op. S7, played as a duet by Misses Nicolle and Harvey was done with precision and finish. Miss Grace Clough, A. T. C. M., a member of the faculty of the Ontaiio Conservatory of Mu ic, the institu- tion responsible for the training of the Whitby College pupils, contrib- uted two piano solos, the Prelude in E Flat and three of th- ' Etudes by Chopin, with fervor.

Lucille has found out there are more curious things in the world than women. Cows are worse. The other day each cow was exceedingly anxious to know what she was doing in their domains. In order to sat- isfy their curiosity it seemed neces- sary for them to stand directlv in front of her, between her easel and the object she tried to paint. Exper- ience is a great teacher, Lucille. In the future select a spot minus cows. For nearly three weeks our Art di- rector, Mr. C. M. Manly, has been living in Whitby in ordei- to give the pupils of the College an opportunity to do outdoor sketching. The ele- ments seem to have conspired against us, for each morning, with the exception of two or three, brought rain or a perfect hurricane. Consequently we have not as many scenes as we antiTipated. At present we are worrying over the fact that sooner or later Dr. Hare ' s old barn must fall a heap of ruins. What will the students do for their first subject then ? Three girls showed a real artistic spirit a short time ago by sitting in an open field, knowing their fellow students were paying homage to the booths on the front lawn. The Y.W. C. A. was serving cake, sandwiches, candy, lemonade and ice cream. All our industrious trio received was a little sympathy and some cold cream for sunburnt hands and faces. We are often misjudged because we prefer the oack of a stable, some dis- tant house or barn, as a subject, iu place of someone s Iront lawn where everytiiing is m tip-top order. Un our last expedition we were minus one necessary article— a ko- dak. V e miglit have been able to furnish interesting matexial lor t.ie moving pictures. Points to be remembered when you go sketclung. 1. Select a calm, warm day. 2. Uo not laKe too much lunch- eon. .J. Leave the coli ' ee jug at home. 4. he sure you liiiow where you are going. 6. « aiiy a safety box for brushes, kniv ' es, sponges and paper. U. Avoid helds wiiere carious cows are pasturing. 7. Always carry 3-our kodak — it will do quiciier work than the brush, especially where innocent-looking clay is concerned. Oh, our boots ? June 1st was a beautiful warm day, and by eleven o ' clock the Art girls were really enjoying life at In- verlyn. Ask Jean, Florence and Kate all about the depth of the water and the bed of the creek. That was one day they wore thankful that our College was not co-educational. The direc- tor fortunately was in quest of more artistic scenes. Our luncheon baskets fairly groan- ed. Had our worthy Clara heard our complimentary remarks, ' even she would have been satisfied. We have learned to economize in dish-washing. Wash the dishes in the creek, dry as well as possible with paper, and let the sun do the rest. vox COLLE(iIl 33 Many were the anxious faces that greeted each other early Mav Day morning. Clouds, rain and thunder made a poor promise for the day, but a little patch of blue skv cheered the hearts and strenffthened the faith of all. Preparations for the outdoor exercises proceeded, and when the sun students. Mr. (Jodv spoke for over half an hour on The Ideal Woman, ' ' holding the attention of the people of all ages. The points of the ad- dress were clear and simply illustrat- ed, and made a deep impression on the student ' s minds.

About 10.30 o ' clock a number of friends from Toronto, inrluding the speaker at the convocation. Vener- able Archdeacon Cody, Rev. Mr. Redditt, Mr. Hamilton and Rev. Mc- P.

We look forward to our May Day cele- bration as one of the great eventa of our school year. May Queen and Court Pakty. ceeded to the throne between kneel- ing ranks of the girls and the bowed heads of the floral girls. Under Miss Swartwood ' s direction, the floral girls gave a prettv exhibi- tion before the Queen and the Court party, and all too soon dinner was announced. A table decorated with white wild flowers was reserved for tbe Court party, and here the Queen in her pretty train, and wearing her c own, presided over her Coun e hus, train- bearers, those carrying the cushion and the crown, and two former Queens. After dinner the usual picnic to Corbett ' s Point and the drive homo THE IPE.VL VrOMAN. Summnry cf an address delivered bv Archdeacon Cod •. rector of St. Paul s church, Toronto, on the oc- casion of thp eipction of the May Queen, May 24, 1912. It was a happv inspiration ti.at led the authorities of this College to as- sociate the choice of a McW Queen, who should embody the i(l al wo- manhood of the school, with the birthday of the great and good Sov- oreien Victoria. To manv of us she will always remain ' ' the Qu.i en, and to all of us she stands out as one of the best women of the last century. We i-dnember her sane and states- 86 Vox COLLEGII manlike judgment, but we remember with even greater appreciation her pure anci austere morality, her splen- did selfrestraint, and the perfect sub- mission to the will of God with which she accepted every duty and every sorrow. She was a wise head of the State ; she was a worthy mother of the household. There is another good woman whom I would ask you to regard as an embodiment of purest woman- hood— the Virgin Mother of our Lord. Because some have exaggerat- ed her claims and pos ' tion, we must not refuse Mary her due. There are three characteristics of this highly- favored among women, which we may well consider and initiate. They cannot be lacking from our woman- ly ideal. 1. The inwardness of her charac- ter. Something of this must be found in every noble life. It is the quality of brooding stillness, of re- serve, of peaceful depths. We must have some moral reserves, some in- ner hiding places where we can take refuere from the strife of anger, and hold communion with our Lord. A life that is all on the surface will be devoid of f-ersistence and of power. 2. There was a noble submissive- ness about her. She was not aggres- sively and loudly selfassertive. This womanly submissiveness is not the yielding of slave to tyrant, of weak- ness to brute strength, of the play- thinp- to the voluptuary; but the sub- mission of love and loyalty to the will and purpose of God for the good and uplifting of the whole race. With this moral perspicuity and wisdom. St. Paul remarks that the glory of the man is not the glory of the wo- man. One feature of womanly glory is the beautiful submissiveness to God ' s will, which brings with it an unmeasured influence and sway. 3. Self sacrifice is the third notable feature in her character. It must be central in every true man and wo- man. How large a part of woman ' s life is made up of sacrifice for others ! Sometimes we would wish the sacri- fice and the pain were less ; but never can we cease to reverence the life that is laid down for the lives of others. In motherhood woman assumes most fully and constantly this crowning grace of beauty — selfsacrifice. You are asked to-dav to apply the general ideal of womanhood to the choice of some girl from your ranks who will be the school leader and mouthpiece. Seek to elect the girl who combines good judgment with a warm and svmpathetic heart ; who has Q-race of carriage and charm of manner ; who possesses the inesti- mable gfift of tact, the very bloom on the fruit of unselfishness and sympa- thy ; who can see the humorous side of things, or at least who will aim to cultivate the virtue of cheerful- ness ; who tries to see life from the viewpoint of others ; who ardently loves her country ; who reverences her conscience and makes service her standard of greatness ; who, in a word, is both womanly and Christ- ian. To educate and send forth from its halls such girls is the greatest contribution this college can make to the higher and truer life of our Dominion. vox COLLEGII 37 Household Science- ADULTERATED COFFEE. Chicory is used and if water is put over it, it dissolves and colors the water. TO KNOW BUTTER FROM OLEO- MARGARINE. Heat a small piece of each, and when melted, the butter is a foaming mass, while the oleomargarine sput- ters and crackles noisily. TO KNOW A FRESH EGG. There is no better method for test- ins: the freshness of an egg than by holding it before a light. It is fresh when it shows a translucent sub- stance within the shell. The value of these tests will depend wholly upon the care and frequency with which they are performed, and the proper interpretation of the results. In order that there mav be no opportunity for error, the chem- ists of the kitchen should try the tests again and again on samples of known purity and also on samples that they know themselves are adul- terated. The Seniors have completed their course of Household Science. It has been a year of work and pleasure, and we are sorry to think that our work at O.L.C. is over. What we have gained has more than repaid us for our work and study, and to Miss Tait and Miss Rowland we ex- press our thanks and appreciation for the many kind attentions and heln given us. We hope that the Seniors of next year will enjoy their work as we have ours, and to them, we extend our best wishes for the happiest of years, and that success will be theirs.

Attention has been called to the fact that when a woman gives her grocer a five dollar bill for a $4.87 charge for groceries, she is very care- ful to count the small change to see that she gets all that is coming to her, but she is never so careful when she examines the contents of her bas- ket. She does not know whether the butter weighs sixteen ounces to the pound or not. She does not know, indeed, whether it is butter or oleo- margarine or not. She does not know whether the olive oil in her basket is from the olive groves of Sunnv Spain or the cotton fields of Georgia. Her faith that the can of molasses is made from cane is im- plicit, although the probability is that a careful examination of the label would indicate it to be largely glucose. The average woman alwaA s counts her change, and the average grocer 38 VOX COLLEGII never feels that such an action is un- called for. Why should she not with even greater reason examine careful- ly into the character of the goods in her basket. The most serious problem connect- ed with the food supply is the regu- lations of the character of milk. It is not as necessary that it contain the iuW amount of fat as it is that i+ be from healthy herds and produced and handled in a cleanly wav. To determine in a rough but in a con- clusive way whether or not your dairvman is cleanly in his practices and the milk you buy fit for food, hold the bottle up and look carefully at the bottom. If there is any s di- ment the milk is dirty and unfit for food. Commercial At the beginning of the year we gave a brief outline of what is requir- ed of our Commercial Graduates, and now, at the close, it is gratify- ing to know that the students have maintained their interest and have completed their work in a very satis- factory manner. Miss Gladys Hopewell, of Ottawa, who is our graduate this year, has, in every way, proved herself worthy of the diploma and medal, which will be hers on Commencement Day, Wed- nesdav, June 19. Although she is our only graduate, we would like to make special men- tion of Miss Edna Muir, of Medicine Hat, and Miss Eona Trace, of Elm- vale, Ont., who have done splendid work in this department. Miss Kuir entered in November and has com- pleted the theory of Phonography and has also covered the greater part of the work in Book-keeping. Miss Trace came in Februarv and devoted her time to Phonography, Commercial Law and Commercial Correspond- ence, and has successfully covered the work undertaken. The work in Shorthand is divided into four parts, and each student is given an exam- ination as each part is finished, and is required to take at least 75 per cent, before she is allowed to ta ' e up the next part. Miss Trace has not failed in one of these examinations, and has taken over 80 per cent, each time. vox COLLEGII 39 SOCIAL Miss Warren, Barrle, spent the ' 24th with Miss Florence Jones.

Dear Teachers and Officers : I have tried to keep out of my mind the pain of parting with you, while the last few days we were to- gether. We have shared the laughter and the sorrow of college life, and learned to know and app reciate eaeli other. Your gift of the handsome club bag so lovingly given, and so beautifully presented by Dr. Hare, speaks much to me. Tliough days of travel shall separate, thoughts take but a second to bridge the distance, and I shall many times be with vou, feeling that my best life has been with my associates at O.L.C. Your friend, NETTIE BURKBPOLDER. Mrs. Pope is briskly preparing foi the Summer Conference of Missions, which meets July 2nd to 10th. Miss White remains to give assistance, and also Mrs. Homuth. Entertain- ing so many strangers requires much planning and work, but these ladies are quite equal to welcoming all who may come. Miss Swartwood, teacher of Ex- pression and Physical Culture, has been appointed as Eirst As istant in the Department of Oratory in Syra- cuse University. We enjoyed her pre- sence with us this year, and are very appreciative of the splendid work she did in her department. May she have great success in her new posi- tion and enjoy the association of her Alma Mater. The Senior Class, under the leader- ship of Miss Laurel Nicolle, have been very successful this year in all their undertakings. She has been a president of whom we are all proud, and has worked faithfully through- out the year in the interests of the class. Through her efforts we have enjoyed many good times together, which make a pleasant memory for us to carry home. Irma Gordon, Secretary, Dear girls of the O.L.C: In my confusion, the night of the closing exercises, I am afraid I did not properly thank you for your pretty gift of the silver tea-service. The surprise was complete, and yet 1 like the gift better because it was a surprise. When among new student faces in my Western home, the gills of O.L.C. will come before me and their kind thoughts and acts will help to take away the homesickne d for my former home. May you make other people as happy as you IreiVQ made me in my work and associa- tion with you. Yours in kind remembfance, NETTIE BURKHOLDER. vox COLLEGII 41 We have a copy of the new report of the College as read by Dr. Hare before the Conferences.

We shall likely have the same experience for the coming year, so would strongly advise an early ap- plication.
