30 VOX COLLEGII spent the week-end with Edith Keedy, - and Winnif red Mills was visiting Freda Pennal. Marge Bain was in a great state of ex- citement before going to Toronto for the week-end, but not much wonder, when she had not seen her mother for nearly a year. Edna Grant has been doing some concert touring of late, and incident- ally drops in on Toronto occasionally on a shopping expedition. Miss Cecile Barrie, of Hamilton, was the guest of Verda Day over the 24th. Margory Pearce, despite the many at- tractions here, deserted us to go to To- ronto for the week-end of the 24th. Freda Pennal met her father in Toron- to, and remained there for the week-end. Lil. Follick ' s ' ' Darch roommate, was back for the 24th. Many and wild were the escapades in which they indulged. Gertrude Britnell was in Toronto for a week-end. Millie Cox and Florence Edgar were in Toronto for the week-end of May 14th. They motored back on Tuesday, and thus brought the week-end to a happy finale. We were glad to see all the girls back for the 24th of May, and our only regret was that they could not finish out the term with us. We had quite a lively time in 9 Main with three ' ' jests. Ruth Day visited Kay, and is her same old ' ' Happy self, and causes the usual a- mount of amusement. Millie Weddell visited Myrtle, and Jessie Milne was Ail- een ' s guest. Oborne MuUett was home for two week-ends last month. On one of her visits she took her two roommates with her, and, knowing Oborne, we realize that they must have had a good time. Lillian Phillips paid a brief visit to .Margaret Ferrah ' s home last month. Eleanor Wilmott and Eleda Horning were both home for a week-end last month. The change was very welcome. Working for matric is no joke. Squibby Scrimes and Boo Bar- rett have already left for their Western homes. The parting was far from joy- ful on our part at least, as neither of the girls expect to return next year. Our best wishes for a happy summer, and a bright future go with them. Glad Hart spent a couple of week-ends in Toronto as usual. Some of the girls will persist in going home — quite strange to say. Myrtle Fawcett paid a short visit to Katie Stevens, a 1913 graduate, in Bow- manville during June. Leila Beach was in Toronto for a week- end in June. Mary Carveth had a splendid holiday over the 24th of May, including a motor trip to Peterboro. Hazel Taylor and Bessie Mather had a gay week-end at the home of the lat- ter ' s aunt, in Toronto. Melva Hetherington made a couple of visits to Toronto last month. An ob- streperous tooth has its good points at school where it may often serve as an ex- cuse for a visit home. Minnie Trenouth spent a prolonged week-end in Toronto last month. Some- body whispered that her eyes were at the bottom of the affair. Bessie Lee was the guest of Marie Val- entine for May 24th. Muriel Freeman came back to pay us a visit around the 24th. Christina McLeod spent May Day week-end with one of our counsellors, Gertrude lanson. Lila Sutherland quite surprised us all, and spent a day at the College. Sorry you could not stay longer, Lila! Aileen Wilkins and Marge Garlock . visited Mrs. Hatch for a week-end. Verda Day was home for a week-end. Her departure seemed to necessitate temporary changes in roommates. Winnifred Symington spent a week- end Avith her roommate who lives in Whitby.

vox COLLEGII 29 Fireside Notes With Miss Porte as chaperon, and a band wagon as conveyance, the Western- ers hied themselves oir to the woods for a picnic one sunny afternoon. They came home a very tired, but very happy party. Florence Edgar spent a week-end at Gladys Morris ' home in Oshawa. Muriel Twin is out again ! That is good news, indeed. For six weeks she has been in quarantine for scarletina, al- though for the last four she has looked perfectly well. Her isolation seems to have agreed with her, for her cheeks are much rounder and rosier than before she was taken ill. She had frequent long distance conversations, and a goodly number of letters from her schoolmates, and they did help to make the hours less tedious. Hazel Collins and Winnif red Syming- ton spent a week-end together in Toron- to. Myrtle Patrick visited her roommate, Aileen Wilkins, for a rather long drawn- out week-end. Edith Reedy and Hazel Bone motored to Toronto for the week-end on two dif- ferent occasions. This announcement will cause gasps of envy from the poor mortals who have to go by train in the hot weather. A merry party of girls under Miss Pascoe ' s able chaperonage, drove to Pick- ering and spent a happy afternoon romp- ing by the beautiful stream west of the town. Yes ! I think romping is the only word for the gay manner in which they passed the time. As usual some very artistic snapshots commemorate the oc- casion. Kay Breithaupt spent the week-end with her sister, Mrs. Parry, of Hamilton. Rita Tew ' s sister, Phyllis, who is at- tending Havergal Ladies ' College, was here for the 24th. Evidently the Haver- gal girls were nearly as sorry as we were that the return basketball game could not be arranged. There was an extremely warm welcome for the Kilborn girls and their mother when they arrived here on May 22nd to enjoy the 24th festivities with us. Mrs. Kilborn gave us a splendid talk at Y.W. C.A. on Sunday. We have missed Connie and Cora in all lines this year, and per- haps particularly in basketball. Our faces naturally broadened into happy smiles when we saw Daisy Craig returning from Toronto after a rather lengthy vacation in the middle of the term. You missed a lot of work, Daisy. Kizzie McCormick believes in making quite frequent visits to her home. AVe do not wonder at this, after having met Mr. and Mrs. McCormick. Mrs. MacPhadyen gave a lovely driv- ing party for the graduates and the girls of Main Hall. We drove to Oshawa, and managed to have a ' ' Mary Pickford produced for our sole benefits. The de- licious spread which was prepared in the dining-room when we returned, tasted mighty good. Two of last year ' s ' ' Six Mainers were back for the 24th. Winnifred Patterson

vox COLLEGII 31 One pleasing feature of the Commence- ment Exercises was the number of par- ents who visited the College, amongst whom may be mentioned Mr. and Mrs. McCormick, of London, Ont., and Mr. and Mrs. Hull, of Oshkosh, Wis. The marriage of Miss Olive HoUiday and Mr. Denyes was solemnized at Dr. Hare ' s residence on the morning of June 7th. The word solemnized could hardly be connected though with the way she was pelted with rice afterward. During the ceremony the girls had time to decor- ate the cars with bridal wreath, old slip- pers, tin cans, and rattles of every de- scription. The signs, ' ' Why girls leave home, ' ' We are just married, ' ' This is the life, etc., quite distinguished the effect. The associated chapters ' press corres- pondents are requested to forward copy of interest to T. D. ' s for Vox by the 5th of each month to Mrs. E. Edmund Starr, Whitby. Annual meeting of Whitby Chapter, held June 9th, 1915, full report will be published in our next issue. However, we will present our new President, Miss Florence McG-illivray, who is a Whitby girl, an ex-pupil and ex-teacher of 0. L. C. The homecoming of Trafalgar Daugh- ters on June 17th, 1915, will long be re- membered. Seldom do we have so per- fect a day. Our special portion of Com- mencement Day was from four- thirty to five-thirty in the afternoon, and into the precious moments of this hour we gath- ered comradeship, love and pleasure. We missed the President of the Governing Board, and her cordial smile and greet- ing. Mrs. G. D. Atkinson, President of To- ronto Chapter, presided. Other Daugh- ters at home to enjoy the re-union were : Mrs. Hales, Mrs. Cochrane, Mrs. Walter Powell, Mrs. A. R. Riches, Mrs. Edward Oraham, Mrs. Whitfield, Mrs. Barnard, (London), Mrs. Shillington, Mrs. HoUi- day, Mrs. J. E. Potts, Mrs. E. Edmund Starr, Mrs. Fred J. G. Gallanough, Miss Burkholder (Edmonton), Mrs. J. C. Webster, Miss Taylor, Mrs. J. Tomlin- son, Mrs. Everton Jones, Mrs. Wilkins, Mrs. Stone, Misses Nellie Jeffries, Morti- mer, Florence Reedy, Lizzie Fothergill, Mrs. W. J. H. Richardson, Mrs. G. A. Ross, Mrs. Wright, Miss Wright, Mrs. C. Heath, Mrs. C. F. Fawcett. Mrs. Atkinson, in her opening address, said, ' ' I am not here as President of Toronto Chapter, but simply as a Trafal- gar Daughter, to bring to Dr. and Mrs. Hare the love they have been storing up for themselves in the hearts of all Daugh- ters of O.L.C. She then read a message of regret from Mrs. 0 ' Sullivan, with greeting ' s, and then asked ' Dr. and Mrs. Hare to receive a cabinet of silver mth a great deal of love from the College daughters. In making the presentation in her happy manner she said, ' ' We got this cabinet of silver so that three times a day, when using it, you will have to think of us. It does not express the ex- tent of our, love for you, but is just a little reminder from the the Daughters
