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.

vox COLLEGII 5 Her voice is one of marvellous force and quality, for one so petite ' and her manner and personality are both pleasing. Besides being a teacher of vocal, she acts as Dr. Hare ' s private secretary. Kathleen has not yet fully decided as to what she will be doing next year, but we know what her ambition points to. Whatever she undertakes we wish her success. Kathleen has one exam, to try before her diploma is issued, that of sight-singing. Then we claim her as our one graduate in music. EDNA MARWOOD. Her heart is in her work, and the heart giveth grace unto every Act. Kdna is another of our graduates who has successfully completed her work here ; her chosen course being Domestic Science. She first opened her eyes upon this world in Indian Head, Saskatchewan, but she has since moved to Calgary, which is her present home. During her two years among us at O.I..C., she has become loved by all, always willing to help a friend in need, and performing little things for everybody, which others leave undone. Edna sails for England on July 24th, to spend the summer abroad. We wish her a pleasant trip, but at the same time we sincerely hope that in the whirl of festivities, she will not forget her Alma Mater and the friends she made there. EDNA MUIR. Let the world slide, let the world go, A fig for care and a fig for woe. What can power give more than food and drink, To live at ease, and not be bound to think. P ' dna Muir, our only Commercial graduate, brings to us some of the ex- hilaration of the breezy freshness of the West. Edna came to O.L.C. two years ago upon graduating from the Medicine Hat Collegiate, and has since that time proved herself a general fav- orite among the girls by her sunny disposition and winning manner. Though Edna has been a conscientious student, she believes in the old adage, Work while you work, play while you play, and has endeared herself to all those in the College who are interested in sports by her enthusiastic encour- agement, support and leadership in all their games. Special mention deserves to be made of the splendid success of The Blues, the basket-ball team of which Edna was Captain. The best wishes of her class-mates go wiih Edna into the bright future which we feel certain will be hers. FLORENCE PERCIVAL. I know you have a gentle, noble temper — A soul as even as a calm. ' The subject of this sketch was born near Lyn, Ontario, when the autumnal haze was over all, and the green maple leaves fast taking shades of yellow and red. She was educated in Glen Buell and later, with an ambitious spirit, took a business course in Brockville. Since then far loftier aims are hers. In the fall of 1911 she came to O. L. C, and entered the Junior Year in the Do- mestic Science Course. Success crown- ed her efforts, and has gone with her in her Senior Year, and we must say we are proud to name Florence Percival one of our graduating class of ' 13. Florence has a sweet disposition, and her friendship is marked by sincerity and depth. In her work she is an earn- est student, and has maintained a good position in her class standing. In the May Court Club she has helped to quicken the interest by her concise re- ports in the Vox. The hearty good wishes o the class go with Florence. DHEL PURDY. I tells you fore your face, As I tells you hine your back Dat girl D.P. am de worstest chile wot you got. Mv name is Purdy, and I live in Port Perrv. To us girls who know Dhel, this is decidedly tyoical of her. Before com- ing here last year she attended the
