Editorial. During the session of the Bay of Quinte Conference which was held in Whitby, the faculty and students ' of Ontario Ladies ' College entertained the members of the Conference at a garden party held on the College lawn. One special feature of the afternoon ' s entertainment was the basket-ball game. After the May Pole drill and folk dances, which were enjoyed by all, lunch was served on the lawn. Owing to the non-appearance of Dr. Curelly, who was to have delivered an address on the Tombs of Egypt, Dr. Carman, General Superintendent of the Conference, kindly took his place, and gave a brilliant address on the Modern Excavations of Egypt. The selections given by the Misses Green, Oberholtzer, Tucker and Drink- water were also greatly appreciated. We are sure that the visitors left with a very warm feeling in their hearts for all connected with the O.L. C. As we separate and go to our differ- ent homes, we will carry with us from this centre of learning many good in- fluences. May we not allow the growth of our lives to be stopped, but allow it to expand and blossom into rich fruit. Especially may we each be of service to our fellow beings where ever our lot be cast. May the coming years be full of richness, full of development in any work we enter upon ; let us continue to cultivate and strive to attain to the high spiritual, intellectual and moral ideals which have been held up for us here. Let us carry away with us the true spirit of our Alma Mater, and be loyal to her always. The art exhibit which is given each year during commencement week, was opened on Saturday, June 14. The work done in oils, water colors, char- coal, pastel and china, was displayed in the chapel and drawing-rooms. The splendid array of articles made a pleasing sight, and told of indus- trious, faithful work. We would like also to speak of the Art Needlework department under Miss Donaldson. The reception room was arrayed with centre-pieces, pillow tops, bags and dresses which had been done in the classes this year. It was a splendid exhibit, and both Miss Don- aldson and the class are to be congrat- ulated upon their work. We are all proud of our girls that tried exams, in swimming and life sav- ing, and did such splendid work. A picture of the medallion winners ap- pears in this issue of the Vox.
