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. The Sorority has followed the examnlo set by the school, in electino- the onp who came nearest to attaining their ideal of true woman- hood. Mav Oueeri. nnd are presenting the rose swef n-stakes to the one who, in the estimation of the mem- bers, has best li -ed un to their motto, resDondete natalibus. ' At a business meetinor held Satur- day mornino-, the following officers were elected for 1913 : President — Corona Garnham. Vice-President — Dhel Purdy. Secretary — Florence Elliott.

The Senior Elocution girls received the final blow on June 7th, when Miss Swartwood presented the Ex- am. ' However, we hope injuries are not serious, and the girls are grad- ually and naturally recovering, as is the only and proper method for the orator. Some scenes from Hamlet, which we have attempted lately, have caused many happy hours for the ending of our class-year. The last round of normal was completed by each girl teaching the Junior class. Several of the girls have been ful- filling engagements away from the College. Miss Cunningham r nul in Hamilton, Miss Beach has been at Greenbank and Valentia, Miss -lack- son at Orono, Miss Beach at Sea- grave and Miss Langmaid at Bethel and Cadmus.

28 VuX COLLIiGll reception from faculty and students in her new home, where she goes with a heart full of love and sympathy for young womanhood. F. M. S. Miss Florence O ' Brien, a former student of the College, and a post graduate of the .Emerson School of ratory, Boston, has been appoint- ed teacher of Expression and Phy- sical Culture. 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. Per- fect, (Annie Holmes), 359 High Park Ave.; Mrs. L. D. Ray, (Phoebe Glas- gow), 307 Jarvis St.; Mrs. Arthur Lydiatt, (Ethel Huntzberger), 138 Lake Front ; Mrs. James Hales, (Marion Scoley), 4 St. James Ave.; Miss Hazel Merricks, 509 Palmerston Ave.; Miss Lydia and Miss Ruby Aikenhead, 92 Dunvergan Rd.; Mrs. Sloan (Miss Edith Young). Other Daughters in attendance were : Mrs. Albert Jackson (Clara Holden , Whitby ; Mrs. I,. H. Stenbens (Fleda Eaton), Camobellford ; Miss Npllie Harper, Wlntbv : Mrs (Dr.) R ogers (Elma Holiday), Farm School North Carolina ; Mrs. Mary Crox- all (Mary Courtice). Brooklyn : Mrs. W.J.H. Richardson ' ' Frances Bowes), AVhitby ; Miss Maud Annes, Whitby , Mrs. Norman Bassett (Bessie Mack- lam), Brighton ; Mrs. W. S. Gold, (May tie Ahuond), Whitby; Mrs. G. A. iC ' iSi (Lizzie Fieixcli), Whitby; Miss Eliza- iielh Fotliergill, Whitby; Miss Agnes Dow, u ' liitby : VI i-s. T. G Jackto i (Bessie Har- per), Whitby ; Mrs. F. C. Nicholls (Caro McDowell), Uxbridge. 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.
