2 VOX COLLEGII Class Biographies. MARION BOYD. ' She IS a woman, therefore may be woo ' d, She is a woman, therefore may be won. This is Marion ' s second year at O.L. C, where she has been following the Domestic Science course, of which she is the gold-medallist. She is a general favorite. For the last three years she has been living in Bronte, but being a minister:s daughter she does not re- main long in one place. The success of the Senior Class entertainments has been greatly due to Marion ' s assist- ance, which is always given cheerfully and willingly. She always makes the best of everything, and there are very few, if any of us, who have ever seen a frown on her face. Whatever she may attempt in future times, the best wishes of her fellow-students, and par- ticularly of her class-mates, will al- ways go with her. ALICE M. BUTLER. The baby city of our province, Wood- stock, claims the honor of being the birthplace of one of our elocution stars, Alice M. Butler. In Woodstock and Havergal College, Toronto, she first imbibed knowledge, and coming to O.L.C. in 1910 she has worked earn- estly and well, though never forgetting ' ' It ' s guid to be merry and wise, and is one of the ablest graduates in the Oratorial • Department. Her great- est success was in her role as Ophelia in Hamlet, when she sur- passed herself, especially in the Mad Scene. It may be she received inspir- ation from the audience. Allie has made many friends, but none will ever surpass Jean for loyalty and devo- tion. Such a friendship is a wonder- ful tribute to any girl. Allie is anx- iously awaiting the dawn of July 10, as then she will go forth boldly, in her new Russell car, no fear of the local police in her young heart. (Is a cer- tain age necessary before a maid may drive her own car ?) Allie ' s plans for next year are not definite, but wherever she may go the Senior class of ' 13 wish her the suc- cess she deserves. CONSTANCE DINGLE. And still they looked, and still the won- der grew, That one small head could carry all she knew. Connie was born in Oshawa, and perhaps this accounts for her partial- ity towards a certain other person also from Oshawa. Although this is Connie ' s first year in Whitby, her early education having been obtained at Har- bord Collegiate Institute, Toronto, she has made good use of it, and has been successful in all her work. She graduated in M.E.L., and is the silver medallist in that course. Al- though small, Connie is quite ambit- ious, and imagining that she had not enough to keep her busy with M.E.L., she also took up china painting, elo- cution and swimming. In the last named subject she was particularly successful, passing the examination with first class honors and winning a bronze medallion from the Royal Life- Saving Society. Next year Constance will attend the University of Toronto, where, we ire sure, she will be just as successful as she has been among us. KATHERINE DYNES. A sweet, attractive kind of grace A full assurance given by looks. Dick is another of our fairest girl graduates, and elocution is her forte. She was born in Moorefield, Ontario, where she pursued her public school studies, and she matriculated from here last year. Since coming here Dick has n. ' ie many friends, especially among the new girls, as ' she possesses a Sv ' e et an;.! attractive personality. She was chosen as Second Councillor at the May Day festivities, as well as

vox COLLEGIl 3 having the honor of President oi our Senior class conferred upon her. In the production of Hamlet ' her character was Horatio ' .md she v ' as well adapted to her part. In lighter comedy she perhaps scored her biggest hit as Nora in The Vir- ginian Heroine. Her reading on Commencement was greatly enjoyed by everyone, and re- cognized as a splendid piece of work. Next year she expects to attend ti e Emerson School of Oratory, nhrre her dramatic ability should rapidly devel- op. Success be yours, Kathonno. ESTELLE FOLLIS. And life for her is high and grand By work and glad endeavor spanned. Estelle was born in the stirrin t rail- road town of Palmerston, Ont. Here she attended the Public and High Schools. She took a good rest at home studying music and art, and in the fall of 1911 she joined our ranks as a freshie and Junior in the Ex- pression Department. With her motto They can who think they can, she took a double course in her Junior year, and was most suc- cessful, receiving first-class honors in her Junior Elocution final. In her work in the Senior Elocution class she has eclipsed herself in the role of Polon- ius to which she is particularly ad- apted. She is an interesting versatile reader. Hers is a sanguine, cheerful disposition, not easily excited, tran- quil as a brook. Being loftiest in stat- ure, Estelle is necessarily looked up lo by all the other girls ; nit that that necessarily is necessary. The best wishes of the class go with Estelle, and knowing her capabilities and per- sonality we do not hesitate to predic t a bright future for her. We wish her happiness. C0R0N.4 GARNHAM. Who spoke no slander, no, nor listened to it. This dusky haired little maiden first opened her eyes to the light of day in Bronte, Ont. But this has not been her perman- ent home, for being the daughter of the Rev. W. H. Garnham, of the Methodist Church, she has traveled from place to place. A loving and sweet disposition has made her a general favorite among the girls, who conferred on her one of our greatest honors, that of being May Queen, and rightly was she chosen, as her name implies. At the closing of the year 1912 she was elected President of the Delta Sig- ma Sorority for the year 1913 She is another elocution graduate, and in the production of Hamlet by that class, she made a charming Queen. In lighter drama she made a remark- ably realistic Shawn in The Land of Heart ' s Desire MINA E. LOUCKS. One bright August, when the sun shone midway on the ecliptic between the equator and the tropic, and the golden harvest had reached its zenith, there came to Dr. Loucks ' home in Campbellford, Ontario, an only daugh- ter whom they called Mina Eleonore ; it was there she spent her childhood. Mina attended the Public and High Schools there, coming in January, nineteen hundred and eleven, to the Ontario Ladies ' College, Whitby, where she studied piano and expression, and this June she is one of the six happv graduates of the Oratory Department. KATHLEEN LOWE. She could sing the savageness out of a bear. Kay, ' ' our Harrison Fisher girl, is our only vocal graduate. She is the daughter of an Anglican clergyman, and was born in Wardsville. She took h er Public School work in Wingliam, and also attended the Collegiate Insti- tute in London, where she matricu- lated. For the past three years, besides bein r an ardent student of vocal, un- der the supervision of Mr. Blight, she has efficiently performed the duties of pupil teacher.
