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

6 VOX COLLEGll Public and High Schools at Port Per- ry, and we would judge from what Dhel has told us that her motto dur- ing all this time was, All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy. ' ' Dhel is one of those girls who has al- ways a sunny smile and a pleasant word for everyone ; ever ready to en- ter into sports and in her work faith- ful and efficient. She was elected Secretary of the Senior Class and Vice-President of the Delta Sigma Sorority. As a member of the Senior Elocu- tion class, and one of the characters in the production of Hamlet, she was ad- mirably adapted to her part as Laertes. MARJORY ROWLAND. ' Some women rise to heights that others cannot reach. Marg. was born in London, Eng- land, and at a very early age came to Canada to live. At the age of ten she returned to England to attend the Hillside Convent near London. Four years later she became a student of O. L.C., where she has won her way into the hearts of all. Marg. is the small- est Senior in- our class, -but by no means the least important ; she is the winner of the gold medal in the M.E. L. course, of which she was the shin- ing light. She is one of the best-heart- ed girls in existence, always in good temper, and one who has the happy faculty of being sociable with every- one (even the faculty). Her love of work and persistence is shown by the cheerfulness with which she mounts the stairs to Upper Francis. We are as- sured this same persistence will be an open sesame to any circle of life in which her lot may be cast. MAY THOMPSON. Oh how full of briers is this working-day world. To May the working of meals and the serving of the same meals afterwards according to most approved scientific methods is most symbolic of briers But, fortunately, spring came with its invigorating air and friendly gales, from which course the Mathematics of May ' s meals received valuable assist- ance, and now with a good year ' s re- cord behind her. May is modestly fill- ing her place as a sweet girl graduate of Ontario Ladies ' College ' 13. The fact of May ' s being a day student has been a disadvantage to the girls, but those who knew her best, love her, and to all her friendly smile, cheery word and boyish walk betoken a spirit of good will to all mankind. She receiv- ed her early education in Whitby Col- legiate, where she successfully took her Junior Matriculation. Just what Clotho, Lactesis and Atropos have in store for May is, as yet, a hidden se- cret, but Dame Rumor suggests either taking the household responsibilities from her mother or training the minds of the younger generation in a psycho- logical manner. Wherever you go, Good luck to you. May, is the wish of each and all of your Senior Class- mates. KATIE STEPHENS. Work like a man ; but don ' t be worked to death. The subject of this sketch, known to most of us as Steve, was born near Bowmanville, Ontario, and her early education was obtained at the Colleg- iate there. She is one of the three M. E.L. graduates here this year, and is the Only one of theig: who can boast of having received a purple card. ' ' ' Like the other two, she intends to be in Toronto next year, where she will attend the Faculty of Education. She is a steady, sincere student, and where- ever she goes her perseverance is cer- tain to lead her to success. Our only fear for Steve is that her knowledge will eventually become so vast that it will drive from her thouehts the memories of her year at O.L.C., with its pleasant associations, its trials and particularly its tri- umphs.
