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 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.

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.
