SENIOR CLASS POEM. Grey weather-beaten towers — you to whom we owe The careless happiness that only school-girls know, — Out of thy sheltering care We pray may grow a share Of Canada ' s best womanhood — loyal and fair! The long years stretch before our feet, an unknown road Beset with sudden pitfalls and with many a load, Enough, if looking through The vistas past, we view Those ideals Trafalgar Daughters hold as true! When the valley of a deeper shadow lies Before our tottering age and fading eyes Your memory will lend A comfort: and will send Down the years an inspiration to the end. Margery Trueman Moore, (graduate). 2 VOX COLLEGII vox COLLEGII The Graduates 3 MELVA HETHERINGTON, M.E. She ' s little but she ' s wise; She ' s a terror for her size. Melva, better known as Spoof er, first saw the light of day in Toronto, and in that city received her early education. ■ There, attracted by the charms of O.L.C , she entered as a student in the Expres sion Department in 191J:, where she has been doing remarkably good work. For a very tiny person. Miss Meiva has a very large capacity in the ' -rain line; and still the wonder grew, that one small head should carry all slie knew. The young lady possesses the rare gift of absorbing knowledge, and re- taining it, too. We expect to hear good things of little Miss Hetherington in her chosen profes- sion; and wish her health, wealth and happiness as lonp ' as she lives. Favorite pastime — sleeping. Slang expression — Isn ' t that touch- ing! MABEL M. SHARPE. The very capable President of our Sen- ior Class was born at Manitou, Man. She came to 0. L. C. some six years ago, and instantly became a fixture to the College. However, she is intending to tear herself away this year — yes, really ! Mabel ' s favorite expression is, I ' m going up to practice now. Her favor- ite vegetable is carrots, and her idea of ' ' Heaven ' ' seems to be a different one from that of any other girl in the school — yet I suppose it is the same, as it con- tains the same personages. Nevertheless, we ' re all mighty proud of our President, and we all love to hear her play the piano. Here ' s luck, Mabel. MARJORIE GARLOCK. Marge — the prima donna of the class — was born in Phelps, New York, where she has lived ever since. She graduated from the Phelps Pligh School in 1913, and for the last three years has been gracing the halls of 0. L. C. Marge has always been the sympathetic friend of everyone in troitble who cared to go to her. We are not quite sure what she has decided to do when she leaves O.L. C, but w e know that whatever it is — it will be something which will give pleas- ure to others. Her pet failing is for fair hair and blue eyes, and her favorite ex- pression. ' ' Let ' s go into Whitfield ' s and see if there are any new magazines. ADA SNIDER. Ada Snider was born in Waterloo,. Out., and received her education as far as Matriculation there and in Ber- lin. She entered 0. L. C. in Septem- ber of this year, and is graduating in M. E. L. She has endeared herself to all the girls and was missed by us all when trying exams, in Toronto. She is much interested in Athl etics and is our Senior representative on the basket-ball team. Hobby — Studying. Failing — Sports. HELEN CLARK. Helen Clark was born at Orillia, Avhere she received her early education, coming to O.L.C. in 1914. She is graduating in Domestic Science, and has indeed proved to be an adept cook. We feel sure Helen will lift the responsibility of household management from her mother ' s should- ers when she returns home. During her two years here, her cheer- ful disposition and willingness to help her class-mates has endeared her to us all, and it is Avith regret we learn she does not intend to come back next year. Hobby — Sr. picnics and hunting eggs. Ambition — To teach Dietetics. GRACE FISHER. Her eyes were stolen from the marguerites And twinkled like the sunbeams. She sought not praise, and praise did not overlook. 4 VOX COLLEGII Her good qualities are numerous, so I ' 11 mention a few. First, she is as jolly a companion as one could wish to find, and as firm a friend — always to be de- pended upon. Clever ! ! She has taken the Household Science course in one year, when ordinarily it takes two years and hard Avork at that. She is a good one at tennis,etc, but too busy for much fun. However, her friends consider a few moments of her spare time a rare treat, and, like cracker jack, they always want more. GRACE REAZIN. Wi ' her needle and her shears Gars auld does amaist as weel ' s the new. — Burns. Another graduate in Domestic Science was born in Syden Valley, but of later yeai-s has lived in Lindsay. She came to us two years ago and has proved her ability and cleverness by carrying off the medal in Art Needlework. Miss Donald- son must have felt very proud of her. Her studies have made rather a recluse of Grace, but even though our opportu- nities of meeting her have been limited, we feel proud of her very evident suc- css, and feel that she is worthy.. We wish Grace luck, happiness and success in her future life, and that the man in the case ' ' will appreciate her capability as a housekeeper. Hobby — Week-ends in Peterboro. Pet expression — 0, dear! MYRTLE E. W. FAWCETT. There ' s ne ' er a flower that blows in May That ' s half so sweet as thou. Myrtle Fawcett was born in Drayton, Ontario, but of later years has lived in Tweed. She obtained her High School education at Albert College, Belleville, and has been a splendid student of this school, as Junior President, Secretary of the y. W. C. A. and President of the Dramatic Club. She has completed her course in Ex- pression with marked success; her dra- matic talent was very evident in her in- terpretation of Katharine in The Taming of the Shrew. She has worked with a perseverance and a zest that en- sures success. In her reading of David Copperfield ' s Engagement a few nights ago, she concealed the difficulty of expression under a mask of real humor, ■vidth the result that the audience was con- vulsed. We compliment her very sin- cerely on her attainment of the Silver Medal for this year. One thing about Myrtle that has not failed to imi)ress her school-mates is her sweet good nature. Her ready helpful- ,ness and sense of responsiliility has made her a valuable asset to Trafalgar Castle. . We expect to hear of Myrtle as a sweet, true woman, living as The friend of man, the friend of truth; The friend of age, the friend of youth. Pet expression — ' ' Come in ! Hobby — Writing home ! FREDA PENNAL. Count the day found Whose low descending sun Views from thy hand One worthy action done! Toronto has the honor of claiming Miss Freda Pennal as her own. ,She re- ceived her High School standing to the third year in Westmount Academy In Montreal. She has completed her Do- mestic Science course in two years, and we are proud of her as a fit representa- tive of that department. When Freda was made Vice Presideni of the Senior class everyone felt that in her they found a capable, practical one ; for Freda ' s business ability was proved last year when she held the position of Business Manager of our College maga- zine so admirably. Freda ' s fair face at the end of the Sen- ior table is always a laughing one ; and brings good cheer and comradeship wherever she goes. She and her room- mate have been such firm friends, that we feel each has I ihukI in the other some- thing worthy and Jirie. Pet expression — Where ' s Cricky? Hobby — Florence Graham. vox COLLEGII 5 MARGERY MOORE. She is pretty to walk with, And witty to talk with. And pleasant, too, to think on. — Suckling. Margery Trueman Moore, or in short, Midge, was born on a bright May day in Goderich. In ,Septeniber, 1914, she came to 0. L. C, and chose the expression course as the sphere of her labors, where she has shown great ability, and has succeeded in carrying off the honors as Gold Med- all ist. As the Editor of the Vox, Margery has done splendid work, and showed gr at executive ability and originality. As the haven of difficulty she comes in very conveniently as our poet laur- eate. Who can tell how many times she lias been appealed to for help in times ■of need? Her quick thinking, her independence :and originality shining forth at unex- pected moments, have given her a special place in her college life. Pet expression — ' ' Oh, fluff. Hobby— Reading George Elliot. FLORENCE GRAHAM. Florence Graham, of Brampton, Ont., ' Came to our halls two years ago and en- tered the Domestic Science course, of -which she is a graduate. She obtained her previous education in the public and High School in her home town. Last year she was one of the girls who received the bronze medallion for life- saving, and this year has won the gold medal in the swimming test. AVe feel proud to know Florence, who, even as the ' ' baby ' ' of the class, has car- ried off such high honors and surprised us all so happily. Her standing in Domestic Science is a very high one, and Ave feel sure that one of the best little housekeepers in the world will be returned to her father and mother on June 21st. Pet expression — 0, Pete. Hobby. — Banana splits. GEORGIAN SMITH. We need her like a pleasant thought, This quick brunette, whose artless Grace and smiles become her well. Georgian Smith came to O. L. C. from Michigan four years ago. During her stay here she has been a great favor- ite among the girls, who have found her to be a staunch and true friend. Bobbie, or Bobbs, as she is known among her school-mates, is a very ludustrious worker, and although she is one of the youngest in the class, she is one of the most accomplished. Besides graduating in Domestic Science a;nd gaining her degree M.H. Sc., she held jiumerous offices, and did them justice. This year she is graduating in piano, and is the Gold Medallist. She has been a very successful President of both the American Club and the Okticlos, Mr. At- kinson ' s Music Club. THE SENIORS ' CLASS SONG. (to Dear Little Girl. ) Dear O. L. C, you know we love you, Though you ' re many miles away; The years flit by, but we ' ll return On some happy summer ' s day. Expect us soon — get ready students, Your great halls will be a dream, Of girls who left them long ago Girl grads of year ' 16. Margery T. Moore. THE SENIOR GOOD-BY SONG. O. L. C, if all those endearing old charms That I gaze on so fondly to-day, Were to change by to-morrow, and fade from my eyes Like fairy-gifts fading away. Thou would ' st still be adored as this moment, thou art. Let thy loveliness fade as it will. Around the dear ruin each v. ' ish of my heart Would entwine itself verdantly still. JUNIOR CLASS SONG. (Tune— Tulip Time in Holland. ' ) We are the class of Juniors This year at O. L. C, And we ' ve all tried to make it The best class that can be. When we are Senior girls next year We ' ll makfe this class that now is here An honor to our College, Which we all hold so dear. — Mary McLelland. 6 VOX COLLEGII Graduation Exercises. The 1916 Commencement Exercises Avere inaugurated on AVednesday even- ing, June 14th, and Avere continued, Avith some scheduled eA ' ent every day, until Tuesday of the following Aveek Avhen the final day of a most interesting week Avas brought to a close. WEDNESDAY. undergraduates ' concert. PROGRAM. Organ — (a) Forest Vespers (Fiysin- ger) ; (b) March in G. (Smart) — Muriel Snetsinger. Piano — The Return of Spring (Friml) —Aileen A. K. 0 ' Hara. A ' ocal — The Garden of Your Heart (Ball) — Clarice Packham. Reading — Ann ' s Confession (Mont- gomery ) - — Winnif red Symington. Piano — Prelude in C. sharp minor (Rachmaninoff) — Isabel Gordon. Vocal — The Minor Chord (Mager) — Jean Willis. Reading — The AVidder Johnsing (Ruth McEmery Stuart) — Ida Dodge. Piano — (a) In Solitude (Poldini) ; (b) Concert Etude in C (Rosenbloom) — Gertrude Hull. Vocal — The Spring Has Come (Matide V. AA hite)— Olive AVoodman. The program opened Avith an organ number by Miss Snetsinger. By dint of much practice and perseverance, Muriel has improved her touch and technique AvonderfuUy in a year. AA e Avere doubly interested in Aileen O ' Hara ' s ntunber, and also in Isabel Gordon ' s performance, as both girls that very day had tried and passed AA ' ith hon- ors their respective Conseiwatory exams. In j Iiss Clarice Packham is a coming graduate of real ability. The audience Avas taken by surprise, for though the young lady ' s voice is a SAveet one, for a long time it has been a modest and silent one. The tAvo readings, by Winnifred Sym- ington and Ida Dodge, both, Ave expect, coming graduates in Expression, AA ere particularly good. AVe ahvays enjoy hearing either Jean AVillis or Miss OHa ' C AA oodman sing to us ; in each a- oice there lies a sincerity of expression and the trace of faithful Avork. Gertrude Hull played her piano num- bers sympathetically and very charming- ly; but perhaps the latter quality Avas partly due to Gertrude ' s very charming little self. The Undergraduates put on, to iise a stock phrase, a very creditalile perform- ance, and the .Seniors feel that next year the graduates Avill fill their concert bill very admirably indeed. THURSDAY graduates ' concert. The Thursday evening concert Avas one also of very great interest, because it Avas provided by members of the graduating class, that is, such of them as were taking Music or Expression. PROGRAM. Reading— The Theatre Party (Alice Hegan Rice), Meh a Hetherington. Vocal— (a) The First Meeting ; (Grieg); (b) I Love Thee, (Grieg), Marjorie Garlock. Reading— The Doll ' s House (Ib- sen) , Margery Moore. Piano — Scherzo in C Sharp Minor (CJhopin), Mabel M. Sharpe. Reading — The Picnic (Dickens), Myrtle FaAvcett. A ocal — Der Asra (Rubenstein) , Marjorie Garlock. Piano — Concert Valse (Friml), Georgian AV. Smith. God iSave the King. A very amusing opening number was provided by Miss Melva Hetherington, in her reading of ' ' The Theatre Party, ' ' from Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch. The SAvift and thorough preparations for the same — the dinner-party at which vox COLLEGII 7 Europena, or was it Australia, evinced a preference for green pups in mistake for cream puffs ; the frantic struggles of Mrs. Wiggs, entangled in her neighbor ' s ' eil, in fact the whole event, was very w ell presented by the reader. Marjorie Garlock, who was very suc- cessful in her exams, delighted the aud- ience with three very charming and, in one ease, very difficult numbers. Aside from a very charming personality, Miss Garlock possesses real ability in her de- partment. Mallei Sharpe and Georgian Smith, Mr. Atkinson ' s senior pupils, acquitted themselves admirably. In the former ' s playing, we appreciate her thorough knowledge of technique and brilliancy ; in the latter ' s performance, wonderful expression. Myrtle Fawcett read the story of David Copperfield ' s proposal to Dora. It was a very difficult reading, but even the dullest of us caught the subtle droll- ery of Dickens ' through David ' s love-sick raving. The immense amount of thought and work that Miss Fawcett must have spent on the selection was well worth while, for her interpretation of the read- ing was splendid. Another member of the Senior Class, Margery Moore, who is the Gold Medal- list in Expression for this year, read from Henrik Ibsen ' s Doll ' s House. The reading itself is very dramatic and contains a subtle pathos and depth of thought that demands careful interpreta- tion. Either the effect of that pathos or Margery ' s own reading of Nora ' s part (a personality which so aptly suits Iier own) reduced her audience to tears, and it was only when she bowed and smiled cheerfully three separate times that it consented to stop the applause and wipe its eyes. The concert was a very thorough pro- duct of the year ' s work, and was appre- ciated as such. FRIDAY. PRESENTATION OF tHE TAMING OF THE shrew by dramatic club. The time of the play was in the 17th century, and the scenes of action were laid in Padua, Italy. The story of the drama tells of the artifices by which the young man Petruchio tames the fiery spirit of Katharine, who possesses a pret- ty face and an abominable temper, and declares she will be subject to no man. Miss Catharine MeCormick as Pe- truchio, and Miss Myrtle Fawcett as Katheriiie, were particularly good, but the whole caste was worthy of praise. The admirable way in which the drama was presented showed much diligent applica- tion by the girls of the Club. The following was the cast of charac- ters : — Petruchio — Catharine MeCormick. Baptista — Gwendolyn Gauley. Veneentio — Etta Jackson. Lucentio — Mabel Sharpe. Gremio — Melva Hetherington. Hortensio — Madeline Preston. Tranio — Ida Dodge. Brondella — Frances Eraser. Pedant, Philip— Hazel Mill. Tailor, Nicholas — Eva Hutcheson. Haberdasher, Officer — Ada Snider. Branea — Margery Moore. Curtis— Mrs. Merkley. Widow — Winnifred Symington. SATURDAY. athletics and swimming. Saturday morning and afternoon were occupied by the students in participating in or witnessing athletic and swimming exercises. The aquatic side of the day ' s fun was particularly interesting. It was truly wonderful to see the ' ' stunts ' ' that the girls perf oi med in the water. The swimming pool has certainly become one of the most popular phases of college life. A recital was given by the pupils of Miss Gott and Miss Collins in the concert hall, in the evening. PROGRAM.

SUNDAY. For the Baccaulaureate sermon one of Canada ' s most foremost preachers, Rev. Dr. G. M. Milligan, pastor emeritus of Old St. Andrew ' s Church, Toronto, had been secured, and the Methodist Taber- nacle was crowded. The Presbyterian and Baptist Churches cancelled their evening sei ' dces, and all three congrega- tions joined in the splendid service at the Tabernacle. On the platform with Dr. Milligan were Rev. A. H. Foster, pastor of the Tabernacle; Rev. F. L. Farewell, Prin- cipal, and Rev. Dr. Hare, Principal Emeritus of the College; Rev. G. A. McLean and Rev. S. G. McCormack, each of whom took part in the service. During the evening the choir rendered an an- them, and Miss Gott, of the College Fac- ulty, sang ' ' There is a Green Hill. ' ' Dr. Milligan chose for his text Genesis 17 : 1 — And when Abraham was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abraham, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me and be thou perfect. He laid particular em- phasis upon the last clause — Walk be- fore me and be thou perfect. ' ' Abraham was called from his native plaee,Ur of the Chaldecs,to go to the land God had for him to found a nation for his own people, and through them for the good of all peoples. In Babylon men worshipped the powers of nature; they mistook them for gods. Abraham was quickened to recognize that the founda- tion of things was spirit, not matter. God he apprehended was spirit, and in Him all things lived and moved and had their being. This conviction was im- pressed upon Abraham and gave main- tenance and purpose to his mission. He Avas to walk as under the eye of God, and by being genuine to his real inner self was to know God, whom to know is life eternal. The career of Abraham, as set before us in Genesis, constitute many various pictures of an historic nature. The world iDecame his schoolhouse, and the exper- iences he realized in it his lessons for the life that now is as well as that to come. His heart was stirred when he saw the fate the Sodomites were bringing upon themselves. He learned, by praying for their rescue from calamity, how ready and full was forgiveness in God. In giv- ing Lot his choice in material benefits, he showed that a high purpose in life saves from the greed that degrades. The patri- arch seems not to have been clear about the sacredness of the relation of husbana and wife. Pharaoh, when he found the deceit Abraham practiced upon him by passing off ,Sarah as his sister, ordered his men to turn him out of Egypt and all he had. The lesson to Abraham was: Be genuine hereafter, and allow no words about Sarah to be other than those of truth and soberness. ' ' It was customary for chiefs adjoining Abraham in Canaan to offer children in sacrifice to their gods. The principle that our choicest treasure should be de- voted to Jehovah, if we make Him su- vox COLLEGII 9 preme in our lives, tools, in Abraham ' s day, a cruel, idolatrous form. Abraham was led through an experience that in- duced him in sacrifice to offer up Isaac, his only begotten son, to Jehovah, with the result that he learned what genuine fatherhood meant. By making God our pattern in life we become our true selves. This is involved in the fact that we wei ' e made in the image of God. Thus when we make His presence in our lives a habit are Ave not thereby becoming transformed into His, likeness ? We see in this that religion does not cramp our natural powers of thought or feeling, or conscience, but rather intro- duces them into the path that shines more and more unto the perfect day. The sphere of religious action is not found in ascetic performances or merely ceremonial activities. Wherever a soul is striving to be genuine there is holy groiind, and there the living God com- municates His love, and joy, and peace. A great river, in Oriental phrase, was called a river of God ; a great mountain , a mountain of God; a genuine man, a man of God. Such was Abraham, and such are all true builders of a nation, Avhether they be high or low, masters or servants. The only secure nation is one whose people do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly Avith God. ' ' What we need as a people is to wake up. The natural man is dead in tres- passes and sins. AAvake thou that sleepest, and Christ shall give thee life. ' ' These words are addressed to individuals and especially at this time to nations. Clearer than ever before can we now see both by this war and the work of mis- sions at home and abroad the necessity of public education being in life and pre- cept Christian. Thus are we thoroughly furnished unto all good works. As it Avas in the beginning Avith Abraham, in- itiating religion into national life, may it be so now and forever. We are called upon, as Abraham, to become perfect, Avalking as in God ' s sight. To become perfect is to become thoroughly made, spherical in development, vitalized in all our faculties, and thus in ourselves and in our relations to church and home and college like a city set upon a hill that cannot be hid. And now a word to the graduating class. Every ending implies a begin- ning; every reaping implies a sowing. This college is to-day an end in your lire, but an end beckoning you on to begin another career Avith efficiency and dis- tinction in proportion to the success with which you close your course here. Youth is a rare time of advantages, be- cause of the features which characterize it. It is a formative time. With facil- ity you can give bent to your character now for untold good which Avould be beyond your power to accomp- lish if postponed too long. They that seek early in life its best eon- tents can find them. No such promise is made to one Avho, through indolence or cramping conditions, alloAvs herself to become a field where only weeds or nox- ious plants grow. Arrange after you leave here to pursue such studies with- out delay as will maintain and develop the advantages you have reaped here. Do it while memory is at its best; Avhile the heart is hopeful ; while intellect is quick; Avhen everything comes to you like the morning, and its voice is like the morning songs. This will give you a true optimism based upon a real and vital personality that hopeth all things and believeth all things. ' ' Thus jou Avill spread the influence of your Alma Mater in the best Avay Avhen you are living epistles, Avitnessing to its high and enduring educative realizations. I need not tell you, Avhat is not knoAvn as widely as it should be, of the salubrity and beau- ty and comforts of this College. It has so far begun its Avork so Avell and in such quarters as to Avarrant the hope that a great future in influence and develop- ment aAvaits it. Let all those Avho have experience of its worth, pass it on to oth- ers — its graduates, by giving it a high place in their hearts and memories through all their years by word and deed ; and the citizens of this toAAm, by furnishing accessibility to the institution among them by good roads to it ; by cord- 10 vox COLLEGII iality of demeanor toAvards those seeking tuition at their college, and by many ser- vices they can render socially and other- wise to make their town a place of frag- rant memories. MONDAY. CLASS DAY. Monday was Class Day. As usual we had a most delightful afternoon pro- gram. It was bright, crisp and ' ' funny. ' ' As the daisy chain was clipped each fair graduate took her place on the platform to the reading of the following fates : Before the seniors went their ways Into the happy future days, Doing their life work, we must see What each of them is going to be. Ve draw the misty vale aside And cut the knot in which fate ' s tied. FLORENCE GRAHAM. Florence is the youngest member of the graduating class, and has a veiy bright future before her when she leaves the halls of our Alma Mater. She re- turns each year to attend summer school, but not in vain. After the third year she decides to do settlement work in Whitby and afterwards is busy laundering white coats. MARGERY MOORE. Behind a counter where displayed Are hot, quick lunches all arrayed, Bowing, smiling to all who know her, Stands our dear friend Margery Moore. MYRTLE FAWT1ETT. Brooklin, Ont., January 26, 1927. Dear Friend : — You will no doubt be surprised to know I came as a delegate to a Sunday School Convention here. I am very fortunate in being billeted at the Rev. and Mrs. John Zacharius Nehemiah Nathaniel Ebenezer. Mrs. Ebenezer is a veiy de- lightful person, having qualities that be- come a young woman. She is a graduate of O.L.C. Maybe you have heard me speak of her as Miss Myrtle Ermina Weselena Faweett, her maiden name. She takes a veiy active part in the par- ish duties and is very instrumental in the carrying on of plays and churcn socials. She is also a leader in fashion here, besides having charge of the choir, being organist and sometimes supplying for the Rev. Ebenezer. I was so fortunate in being placed with these fine people, and I ' m sure their kindly deeds will live long after them. Very lovingly, A Sister Grad. MELVA IIETHERINGTON. All day long through the city street Soundeth the tread of many feet ; The militant suffragettes on the run, Led by IMiss Melva Hetherington. GRACE FISHER. On a New York stage under brilliant light, Grace Fisher ' s performing every night; She will whistle to all for a nickle or dime, And be ballet-dancing all the time. ADA SNIDER. On an outdoor platform Miss Snider stands ; She appeals to a mob with outstretched hands ; The persuasive eloquence she has dis- played Would put poor Cicero in the shade. FREDA PENNAL. Freda ' s school days are over, but she is no longer ' ' Freda. ' ' One now address- es her as Miss Pennal, the noted suffra- gette and man-hater. Frequently one sees her studying along with her inde- pendent air apparelled in her tweed suit, manish collar, sensible heeled shoes, car- rying a stick in her right hand and a bomb in the other. We noticed last week in the Toronto paper where she had an vox COLLEGII 11 engagement to speak to the soldiers at Petawawa. We are wondering what the effect will be on the soldiers. MABEL SHARPS. 0. L. C, WHITBY. January 14, 1926 My dear old 0. L. C. Room-mate : — I say ' ' old, ' ' but dear me, when I see what few changes can take place in a space of ten years, I begin to think we are all as young as we were in the dear College days of 1916. 1 am sure you will be surprised to re- ceive a letter addressed at the Castle, but I ' m down here for a week-end and knew you would like to know about the changes and improvements. My first trip down town was a great surprise. You no doubt remember Tod ' s! Well, I was taking my niece in for after- noon tea, when behold ! I saw a familiar face. It was standing outside in an at- titude of careful watchfulness. I nearly caved-in (as we girls used to say) when I recognized Mabel Sharpe. She does not look a day older. She is the resident piano teacher in Miss Col- lins ' place, and co-operates with the pu- pils in every way. She rooms in 15 L. Frances, (Miss Gott ' s old room) but I hear from the students her one fault is being very strict. Woe to midnight feeds! She smells an electric iron burning, if it ' s at the other end of the hall. After ten o ' - clock the by- word is, ' ' Here comes Mabel Sharpe. Excuse me, I mean Miss Sharpe. But she is very happy. I was so sur- prised, for she used to say never would she teach in this College. However, we may all come to an untimely end some day. Yours with love, Onk of The Ryeksonites. PEARL SHEPPARD. My dear Old Room-mate : What a surprise I have for you. Do you remember our old College days at O. L. C. when we used to prophesy Pearl Sheppard ' s future, in a little cottage by the sea, with cats galore, and where no man would dare aspire to her hand ? Well, my dear, we were wrong in thinking Pearl an old maid, for at a reception given in the Government House, Ottawa, who should I see on entering but Pearl, Pearl Sheppard, of O.L.C., and leaning on the arm of His Lordship, General Kit- ten. Every eye longingly sought the happy couple. I overheard one conver- sation to Lord Whoknows telling her ex- perience while teaching history at Cor- nell. They were all deeply interested, inso- much that other fair damsels were en- tirely neglected, but what a shock the company received on seeing Pearl, with the usual quick movement, taking one leap out of the window to rescue a play- ful kitten. GRACE REAZIN. I am sure Miss Grace Reazin ' s friends will be glad to hear that she has accepted a position as chief cook in Child ' s Res- taurant, Toronto, Ont. We wish to aiuiounce that Miss Reazin will be demonstrating in the window every afternoon from 2 until 4 o ' clock. Come early and avoid the rush. GEORGIAN (BOBBIE) SMITH.

CLASS PROPHECY. OUR CLASS IN 1922. In looking over the June Vox of 1922 we were particularly interested in several items in the Fireside Notes concerning some of our former schoolmates. MABEL SHARPE. First to our great surprise we noticed that since the war, our respected Presi- dent, Mabel Maiy Sharpe, had eloped with one of the well-known officers in her father ' s Battalion. GRACE REAZIN. Next we noticed that one of our former domestic girls, Grace Reazin, being dis- appointed in love, came back to O.L.C, and is the esteemed teacher of Domestic Science. MYRTLE FAWCETT. Now that the war is over and women have votes, we are pleased to see that Myrtle Fawcett is a member of Parlia- ment, and is one of the cleverest Conser- vative speakers. PEARL SHEPHERD. The leading lady at Shea ' s new the- atre is Pearl Shepherd. It is rumored that she is engaged to the leading man. FLORENCE GRAHAM. Florence Graham is very happily mar- ried, and is living in the west, where she and her husband are doing settlement work. GEORGIAN SMITH. This Georgian Smith, otherwise known to her schoolmates as ' ' Bobby, ' ' has sac- rificed her many suitors, and is now touring the world as Caruso ' s accompan- ist. ADA SNIDER. On account of the scarcity of men, Ada Snider has accepted a position as chief detective in Scotland Yard, Lon- don, England. HELEN CLARK. Having graduated from the 0. L. C. vox COLLEGII 13 and Lillian Massey, in domestic science, Helen Clark returned to her former Alma Mater as Matron. MAKJORIE GARLOCK. We notice that Marjorie Garlock has still kept her maiden name, and is one of the States ' most noted sopranos. MARGERY MOORE. Our Class Poet, Margery Moore, is now Poet Laureate of England. Congratulations, Midge. GRACE FISHER. Grace Fisher is happily married and leading a very quiet life. We have rea- sons to believe that when her children are old enough they will attend East High School, Rochester. MELVA HETHERINGTON. Melva Hetherineton is one of the world ' s most noted movie stars. Her latest success being the sequel to Poor Pauline. FREDA PENNAL. Freda Pennal is residing in New York, and is in partnership with Beatrice Fair- fax on the New York Journal. THE JUNIOR BANQUET TO THE SENIORS. The Senior Class met in Trafalgar room promptly at six o ' clock, very hun- gry, but very careful to conceal the fact. But when the domestic dining-room, dis- guised so artistically by our hostesses, was disclosed, even our formality and general air of unbending stiffness re- laxed and we gasped our admiration quite audibly. The color scheme was green and gold, our own .choice, and every small detail was planned with an effect that emphasized the beauty of the whole. The menu was a ' ' thing of beauty and a joy forever. Dainty salads and ices appeared before us ; and need we add. very quickly disappeared. The Juniors had planned a dinner evidently in due proportion to the Senior dignity. After the last wee cup of ' ' cafe noir ' ' had been drained, and the chatter of 12 girls had exhausted itself in praise, the toast-mas- ter of the occasion, — Miss Ory Shaw, M. A. — proposed a toast to the King. The remaining toasts came in order, ana to all came replies that showed a sur- prising depth of thought and graceful self-possession. A very interesting, though unexpected item, was the arrival of the Senior Mothers. Mrs. Graham, as President of the Toronto Chapter of Trafalgar Daughters, spoke to us for a few mo- ments on the necessity of living to our college ideals and principles. We ap- preciated her interest in us more than she can know. After dinner, twelve very happy sen- iors went to their rooms, and soon in the ever-popular middy suits, were gathered around a bon-fire on the lawn for the time-worthy ceremony of the destruction of the most hated book. It had been a busy and a happy day. Hurrah for the Juniors — and thank you ! TOASTS. Toast Mistress — Miss Ory Shaw. The King. God Save the King. Canada — Lela Beach, Myrtle Fawcett.

The Juniors. — Melva Hetherington, Ida Dodge. At half-past eight there was the his- toric bon-fire on the laAvn, when each graduate threw into the barrel the book which had caused her the ' ' hardest time ' ' during the year, at the same time reciting a verse appropriately expressing her hat- red of the despised subject. This vas fol- lowed by class songs and old-fashionec 14 VOX COLLEGII games, and then everyone joined hands in a circle about the smouldering embers of Dietetics, Geometry, Latin and Per- fective Laws, and sang with hearty good will, Should auld acquaintaiice be for- got. TUESDAY COMMENCBMEKT DAV A special train from Toronto arrived at the College early in the afternoon, bringing the guests oi the day, Sir John and Lady Willison, Mrs. W. H. Hearst and Mrs. Arthur Vankoughnet, all of whom took part in the evening program. Dr. Hare, Principal Emeritus, presid- ed in the afternoon. After the arrival of the -isitors, the National Anthem was sung, followed by a most excellent con- cert and cantata under the direction of Mr. G. D. Atkinson and Mr. Arthur Blight. Piano solos by Mabel Sharpe and Georgian Smith, a vocal solo by Marjoi ' ie Garlock, and a reading by Mar- gery Moore were most exquisitely ren- dered. The audience then dispersed to roam over the beautiful lawns or to view the splendid art and needlework exhibits in the class rooms, and then to the gymnas- ium for dainty refreshments. Principal Farewell presided in the evening, and made a most fitting review of the year ' s woru. He paid a high trib- ute to the co-operation with him of Dr. Hare. Their intimacy, harmony and imity had been of the closest character. The entire Faculty had co-operated mag- nificently, and were likened to a happy family. Mr. Farewell said he had begun his work last year without a family. Now he had a family of eighty — ;they were all girls — and he loved them every one. The Principal paid a high tribute to the work of Miss Maxwell, Lady Principal. Speaking to the graduates, Mr. Fare- well thanked them sincerely for the spirit of loyalty and good will they had mani- fested throughout the year, and made bold to believe that each and all of them would truly carry out in the years to come the ideals for which the college stood and which they themselves in their best moments had pledged them- selves to realize. The conferring of diplomas and the presentation of certificates and medals then took place as follows : CONFERRING OF DIPLOMAS. Literary — M. E.

There then followed an address by Sir John Willison on women and the effect the M-ar will haA e on their pursuits and influence. Sir John Yillison recalled inci- dents of forty years ago, when the col- lege was first established at AYhitby. and congratulated the directors and officers on the growth of the institution, which, judging by the list of diplomas and prizes, had become national in its char- acter. He spoke of the changes in the position of Avomen during the last quar- ter of a century and their gradual as- sumption of direct responsibilities in ed- ucational and public affairs. He said the old notion of the inferior- ity of A ' omen had gone forever. In all the fields of moral, social and industrial reform men and women Avere comrades. There Avas no reason why more Avomen should not be represented on School Boards and in municipal councils. He would not discuss woman suffrage, and if it Avere practicable, he Avould not go the length of universal suffrage. There were some Avomen to whom he would not give A ' otes, just as there were some men from whom he would withdraw the vote if he could. Manifestly, hoAvever, we could not now have a limited suffrage for men and therefore a limited suffrage for wo- men would be difficult. We had thus to go the length of equal universal suffr age or deny the franchise to women altogeth- er. WhatcA-er the future might dc velop, AA ' e had to recognize the fact that Ave AA ' ould soon have Avomaii suf- frage in the four Western Canadian ProA ' inces, and he believed the movement Avas stimulated and strengthened by the eflficieney displayed by women in acti- Adties and services connected with the war. He spoke of the sublime endurance of women in Belgium and France, and the heroic spirit of Avomen in Great Britain. It AA as estimated that in the Mother Country 2,500,000 Avomen Avere now en- gaged in the manufacture of munitions and in other pursuits from which men Avere withdrawn in order to fight on the sea and in the field. He emphasized the extraordinary efficiency of Avomen as il- lustrated in munition factories and in other serA ' ices into Avhich they have been drafted since the Avar began. Probably the Avar Avould mean a permanent social and industrial rcA olution in Great Brit- ain, and it AA as doubtful if the conditions which prevailed before the wai- Avould eA ' cr be restored. For this and other rea- sons it Avas believed that there would be an immigration of one or two million men noAv in the British Army to oversea coun- tries after the Avar. Many of these would come to Canada, and the problem of handling this great vohune of immigra- tion would be tremendous. It must be remembered that these Brit- ish people Avho Avould go out to Canada and other countries Avould not be regular soldiers, but like the soldiers of Canada would be men Avho volunteered from the ranks of agriculture and industiy to fight for freedom and civilization and Empire. It Avas A ain to think that we could summarily put such people on the land and leave it at that. A vast work of training and preparation must be un- dertaken, and in this Avoman would have her daties and responsibilities. SYSTT ' M OF NURSINtJ. He believed it was imperative to or- ganize a more complete and efficient sys- tem of nursing in the rural communities, and he did not see why the Women ' s In- stitutes now doing Avork of such great value in the country could not organize committees Avhich would endeavor to make newcomers at home in Canada and furni.sh advice absolutely essential to new settlers if they were to get the best re- sults from their labors. We would have problems succeeding the Avar almost as sreal as any that the war has created. We would need sold- iers ' homes and convalescent hospitals. We would have to care for many widows and orphans. It was vital that in all vox COLLEGII 17 these activities women should be interest- ed. Then aside from the war Ontario at least was becoming an industrial com- munity. According to the report of the Ontario Commission on unemployment we had 175,000 women workers in On- tario, and it was important to develop a public opinion that would ensure ade- quate wages for women workers and ade- quate training for many of the pursuits in which training now unfortunately was quite inadequate. The speaker sug- gested that the graduates should associ- ate themselves with the Women ' s Insti- tutes and with women ' s organizations in the centres of population, and declar- ed his strong conviction that nothing but good could result from a more ac- tive participation of wamen in all civic, Provincial and national affairs. At the close of the address the toot- toots whistled, our guests departed, and we were left alone to pack, to say good- bye, and to dream of what we would be doing next year at this time. Editorial Fresh as the first beam glittering on a sail That brings our friends up from the under- world; Sad as the last that reddens over one That sinks with all we love below the verge: So sad, — so fresh, — the days that are no more. A stair leading from a tiny room for two ; a pile of trunks standing lonely in an echoing hall ; a group of young faces against the grey building like clinging flowers ; the rattle of bus wheels ; and a last glimpse through tear-dimmed eyes, comes to us as we turn out of the great gates and rattle toward our station. It is over ; our last year at school. We have risen at the summons of John ' s faithful bell for the last time. We have opened lesson-books on the small desks of the school-rooms for the final instruc- tion. Never again shall we cari-y a laundry-bag gaily through the corridors to the basement ; the little room that was ours shall know our tidying fingers no more. Even through the strains of the Emerson exercises filter through our minds, we only stand in our great gym- nasium in fancy, and so perform the us- ual stretch, two, three, four exercises. When again shall we experience the thrill of eestaey that we once knew, when, on entering the tuck-shop, we discovered that buns ' ' had currants in them. ' ' The little familiar events in school life that have made dear old 0. L. C. a home for many of us, will soon be forgotten: the sound of chairs being pulled into place at dinner ; the rustling impatience of the Sunday division during roll-call; the mingling of musical sounds from the practice rooms ; the shuffle of small bed- room slippers on a sleepy corridor; the glorious light of the great main window, and lovely shadows of sunset upon the grounds. Yet these are memories, and memories fade little by little as the years pass. We will forget our close trials and joys in the present; but the inspiration of cul- ture and school will have entered into our souls, so that, whether that present be happy or otherwise, we will have the strength of character to meet it. We have made friends that we may meet many years hence in our own home, on a city street, in a strange land, and look- ing into their eyes, become girls again, though grey-haired and grandmothers. In the meantime let us make the most of life so that our memories of school are not regretful or shaming, but happy and inspiring ; and so, as ' ' Tiny Tim ' ' observ- ed. ' ' God bless us, every one. ' ' 18 VOX COLLEGII The May Court Festivities. The 24th of May, 1916, was the first real spring day of the season, bright and warm and beautiful, just the kind of weather to help make it the maddest, merriest ' ' day of the year. And then the apple blossoms were out, and indeed everything contributed to make it one live-long happy day, ever to be remem- bered. We were honored by having several of the old girls hci ' e, including three former May Queens. After listening to a magnificent lecture by Rev. W. T. G. BroAvn, of Sherbourne Street Methodist Church, Toronto, we chose Mary Valentine to be our May Queen, as we .judged her to be the Ideal Woman among us. Elizabeth Vincent, of New York. Avas chosen as first councillor, and Kathleen Smith as second councillor. The grand march was very attractive, the girls being dressed in white middy 1 «uits and black ties. The aisle was form- ed, through which the Queen and her Royal Train marched slowly. The May Pole was woven by prettily costumed gii-ls, and one other dance called the Garland Dance was performed by twelve girls in pink and white costumes, cariwing garlands of yellow and white. We were glad to be among the old girls again, and after the dancing was over we had the opportunity of speaking to them. A delicious dinner followed the exercises, and we all hurried into four hayracks which carried us all to the lake. The woods and the water were lovely. We took snaps and ate the picnic lunch, which John brought down in the wagon. As the sun was just considering going down we left tlie water and enjoyed the beautiful ride home. But this twenty- fourth was different from last, in one re- spect. The evening Avas spent in watch- ing fireworks. In the meantime some of us managed to squeeze in a few moments in the drawing room to hear Marguerite Homuth sing once again, and Canada Whiteside read for us. THE IDEAL WOMAN. A synopsis of the address delivered by Rev. W. T. G. Brown, B.A., B.D., pastor of Sher- bourne St. Methodist Church, Toronto, at the May Court Festival, May 24th. This age claims the discovery of woman and her emancipation, but this is a A ain boast. Woman never need- ed to be discovered. ' ' She was in Eden and played a real part thus early in hu- man history. In Ancient Egypt one of the greatest sovereigns was a woman. In the tents of Abraham and Isaac the wo- man was the real ruler, however humil- iating her legal position. Among bar- barians and in decadent civilizations she may be a slave, a beast of burden or a toy, held in ignorance and hidden be- I vox COLLEGII 19 hind walls of stone with no legal rights and no hope of immortality, but yet she is a mighty force in the life of her na- tion or tribe. The Ideal Women will differ according +0 the place assigned to her. The Ideal Squaw of the Mohawk will not be the ideal wife and mother of our modem civilization. But there are some funda- mental principles, and to these we do well to give heed. In every age woman and man are complementary. Much of the talk of woman ' s rights and man ' s superiority is foolish. Neither man nor woman is superio r, neither inferior to the other. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother and cleave unto his wife. And they twain shall be one flesh. Each supplies what the other lacks and so makes one perfect home. Man is the doer, the creator, the adventurer, the warrior; his fibre is coarse ; he is made for hard work and hard knocks. Women is made to rule, to judge, to guide, to praise. Man goes forth into the world, he is wounded ancl defeated, he fails and suffers. Woman is protected in her finer and gentler toil. She makes the home and rules there. Slie has a right to demand that her husband be strong and brave and alert in the great outside struggle. He has a right to ask that she be wise in her rule, clear and just in her judgment, and that the purity of her mind and heart be to him a refuge and strength in the hour of temptation. Surely this is a great place, and de- mands that the ideal women be : WISE. She has to know many things, for the home is the greatest kingdom on earth. Man is a specialist, but woman must know not only her own special tasks but also sympathize intelligently with hei husband. She, in wisdom, calms his pas- sions, blunts his revenge, stimulates by her faith his flagging zeal, and where man ' s poor logic halts she leaps by intui- tion to truth that lies beyond the com- mon light. STRONG. Her strength is not rude and coarse like that of man, but woman ' s charm lies not in her weakness. Her work needs a body as well as a soul. Strong in mind also. So she has al- ■ ways been. The ancients who defied the j forces of nature called them often by i the name of a goddess. In all ages wo- | man has proven the heroism of her soul j and the best interpreters of human life and character have given us more hero- ines than heroes. GRACEFUL AND BEAUTIFUL. ] This may not be the most valued attri- | bute to the Ideal Woman, but it has some worth. We ask for beauty not only in art and uncultivated nature, but in the face and form of woman. The world needs grace and form and alertness of : hand and eyes and mind, and these must still be the gift the mother bestows. i SIMPLE. The simple life makes its wise appeal to all, but it is in character more than in physical life we ask for the simplicity that so well adorns a woman. We live in an artificial age, and the Ideal ] Woman will be sincere, she will be direct ' not adroit, she will be pure, gentle, grac- ious, unselfish, full of sweetness and love and faith. Woman has been pictured as i susceptible to flattery, given to intrigue, ] artifi.cial in dress and ornament and ' mind. But this is not the Ideal Woman ; she is not the woman you w ould love to call mother ; she is not the woman a good i man will choose for the wife who is to be counsellor and guide and friend. | FULL OF FAITH. She believes in God. He is her Strength, her Refuge, her Truth, her Staff, her Eternal Hope. : Her religion keeps her unspotted from ., the world, and also sends her to minister j to the needy. | Great indeed is the sphere of a true | woman. Little children need her mm- | istry, a suffering world calls for her lov- i ing touch. She must not waste herself j in pleasure and let the woiid ' s need be i fed by a cold charity. She ministered to - Jesus in His hour of loneliness, and to- day she ministers in His name. She must live in close fellowship with God, for the heart of her husband safely trusts her and in the light of her goodness and purity and truth has visions of the Eternal. i 20 VOX COLLEGII Music OKTICLOS..

On Wednesday evening, June 7th, we held our final meeting of the ' ' Okticlos ' ' in Mr. Atkinson ' s studio. Only the mem- bers were present, with the exception of Miss A. A. Maxwell, whom we were very glad to welcome. The studio was beau- tifully decorated with the lovely flow- ers received by the members of our Okti- clos, who had played the night previous in Toronto. Miss G. W. Smith, the President, opened the program, and in the midst of it made a very appropriate speech to Mr. Atkinson, mentioning, on behalf of the Club, our deep appreciation and sincere thanks to him for his kind- ness to us throughout the year, not for- getting to add the many extra lessons he was always too anxious to give. She then presented him with an envelope, which, on opening, he found to be a subscription to ' Life. Mr. Atkinson replied to this in his ever pleasing way. The program then proceeded, after which Miss Smitn thanked the officers under her and the executive committee most heartily for making this year, as Mr. Atkinson said, the most successful of all years, also men- tioning many other facts in her own nat- ural way. Dainty refreshments were then served by the executive. Miss G. Hull, the Vice-President, moved that Miss Maxwell and Mr. and Mrs. Farewell should be- come honorary mem])ers, Miss E. Walls seconding this. A standing vote carried the motion. The meeting then closed, the program being appreciated immensely by all. ' PROGRAM, JUNE 7. Woldenliaupt - RiAnilet MURIEL v. SNETSINGER.

RECITAL IN TORONTO. The College gave a recital in Toronto at Oddfellows Hall, on June 6th, which was very successful. A special train took us all up to the Union Station and thence by private car we went to Oddfellows Hall, a delightful place for the recital. We were very pleased to have some five or six hundred friends of the college greet us. They Avere all good enough to pronounce the programme extraordinarily good, as in- deed it was.

Everyone is glad when summer holi- days arrive, but we regret that we must discontinue our lessons with Mrs. Smith, and we will always remember her as our very dear teacher. It is now our aim to give pleasure to our holiday friends. The moon was softly shining Upon the dancing waves When into the breeze subdued and low There stole a melody soft, and lo ' — I knew it to be a banjo. ORGAN. For the greater part of this year there has only been one organ pupil, and we hope that next year more of the girls will have time for this very interesting study. THEORY. We are very sorry that the girls had to stay after Commencement for their exams., but we have just learned that they Avere very successful.

On Sunday evening, May 28th, we Avere favored with an address by Rev. J. H. Arnup, B.A., Associate Secretary Board of Foreign Missions of the Meth- odist Church. He pointed out to us the many opportunities for social service challenging Canadian young women at the present moment. He told something of his experience among the Indians of the West, and incidentally he mentionea the splendid work being done by Mrs. Denycs, nee Miss Holliday, a former stu- dent and May Queen of O.L.C. This reference to Avork done by one who was so recently a student brought forth spon- taneoas applause. On June 4th, we listened to another of Miss Maxwell ' s inimitable readings. It was a series of sight lights on the mean- ing of Bible customs, and was very much enjoyed by all. A week later we were privileged to hear Miss Dodds, a University Settlement AVorker from Toronto. She seemed so young and girlish that she appealed to us at once, and won oiTr sATtipathies com- pletely, as she told of the great work which was being done and might be done by the College girls in this kind of Christian Avork. Miss Dodd ' s address ended the series of Sunday cA ' eniiig serAdces in the Col- lege. It can be said gladly that these seiwices haA-e been a gi ' eat pleasure and inspiration to the girls throughout the year. The variety of speakers and sub- jects have giA ' en us both information and ideals, and all of us should be able to live better lives because of our having taken part in them. Wc also take this opportunity of ex- pressing our gratitude to Miss Nichols ind the members of the choir, who have so freely and glady given their services to make our Chapel meetings a success. J Iany of us Ave re sorry Avhen the Sun- day afternoon Bible Classes closed. The study of ' ' The Manhood of the Master, ' ' and The Meaning of Prayer, both of them by Fosdick, tended greatly to fam- iliarize us in a popular A ' ay with the hu- man side of Christ, and to teach us some- thing about the real spirit and power of prayer. The Y.W.C.A. had a very successful financial year, and at the close we were able to make the following contribu- tions : For Red Cross Avork $33.00 For Y.W.C.A. foreign work 30.00 For Chentu Hospital Cot.. 25.00 Total . . $88.00 Patriotic Work.

The blossom- ing trees furnished material for those studying oils and water colors. On a fav- orable morning, from about eleven-thirty to lunch time, if by chance you stopped to look out of a window, your gaze would fall uiJon a group of budding artists seated under some trees, industrially en- gaged in their fascinating landscape studies. The china class during this term has excelled itself. Pieces shoAving varied designs, delicate tintings and glistening lustres emerged each week from the kiln. The steady, faithful work of each day seems to have accumulated, as shown by the yearly exhibits held in the drawing room and chapel during Commencement week. The later drawings, as well as the china, prove that a good advance has been made since the first of the year, and a splendid foundation laid for the future. EXPRESSION June has come, and brought with it examinations, graduation and closing. We have enjoyed the year ' s work very much under Miss Ball ' s careful and un- tiring supervision. Congratulations to our three expres- sion graduates. We are proud of them. After another hard, earnest year ' s work, victory is theirs. Margery Moore has distinguished herself by winning the gold medal ; Myrtle Faweett receiving a special prize, and Melva Hetherington passing with high standing. The Junior Class have had a success- ful year, everyone passing creditably. We are hoping all the Juniors will return next year and have the honor of grad- uation. We are very sorry Catharine McCor- miek is not returning next year. We shall miss her greatly, but we shall watch her career at Emerson with interest. Catharine McCormick read at Mr. A. Blight ' s choral recital given in Oddfel- lows Hall, Toronto, June 6th. Ida Dodge and Winnifred Symington read at the undergraduates ' recital on June 14th. Melva Hetherington, Myrtle Faw- eett and Margery Moore read at the graduates ' recital, June 15th. The Dramatic Club presented Shakes- peare ' s ' ' The Taming of the Shrew ' ' in the College concert hall, June 16th. The play was a splendid success, each girl doing her part well and reflecting much credit upon Miss Ball, as well as upon herself. 24 VOX COLLEGII Fireside Notes Following the very successful Junior concert came the excitement of the 24th of Mar. Several of the old girls were here, including three former May Queens. The day proved to be ideal in every respect. The sun shone, the apple blos- soms bloomed and everything was verv pleasing. The American Club, with Georgian Smith, of Michigan, as President, and Mineta Lewis, of North Dakota, as treas- urer, was quite prominent tliis year. Con- trary to the usual custom the members celebrated the 30th of May, which was by the way, a rainy day, with much eclat. Attired in rain proof clothes, they took baskets of eatables and ■clothes, they took baskets of eatables and went to the lake where they built a crude stove of stones and broiled bacon, made toast, coflPee and toasted marshmallows. The stars and stripes was placed in the ground and the rest of the evening w as spent in competing at skipping flat stones in the water. Miss Chantler chap- eroned us and arranged so that we were home just at twilight. Though everyone was tired, we all agreed that the 30th or May would be celebrated from year to year. We were all so sorry to see Elizabeth Vincent and Mineta go. They really don ' t know how interesting Commence- ment is. Wilhelmina Simpson and Hazel Taylor left early also, but we are quite sure they wall return on a visit next year. Judith Somers-Cox spent a few days •with Hazel Taylor and Muriel Cook. Judith is going to England soon, and her mother and sister expect to go right to the front. Aileen WiUdns spent a week-end this month with Miss I ' oUick. Josephine Greenway spent a Aveek-end in Toronto with her aunt. Irma Horner met her there on Saturday, and they spent the day together. Catherine McCormick spent 24:th of May ■ dth her parents, and later spent a week-end in Toronto. Marjorie Garlock and Olive Woodman went to Toronto in May, to sing at Mr. Blight ' s recital. Several girls, Ruth and Lois Dixon, Mabel Sharpe, Grace Fisher, Georgian Smith, Melva Hetherington, Myrtle Faw- cett. Miss Lewis and some others, went to Toronto on June 6th to shop, and met the rest of the 0. L. C. students at Odd- fellows Hall in the evening, where we gave a college concert. The choral class gave several numbers, and Georgian Smith and Mabel Sharpe piano numbers. Miss N. Wright, Marjorie Garlock and Miss Tod, of Oshawa, sang. Catharine McCormick delighted us with a reading We realized how much we will miss her charming recitations when she is not with us next year. We will miss very much also Georgian and Mabel, and Marjorie and their interesting entertain- ments. Miss N. Wright spent a. week-end at home in Toronto. Elizabeth Walls spent the week-end of the 19th in Hamilton. Freda Pennal spent the week-end after the 24th with her mother in To- ronto, Commencement came with a surprise. The weather has been so cold for June that we have hardly realized it is time to prepare for leaving. But it is nearly over now and so we Avill all be home for a rest, and though we will be glad to be at home again, we regret the possibility of breaking fond friendships and associa- vox COLLEGII 25 tions, and wish the year were only longer. On the 14th, the undergraduates were represented at a recital in the concert hall. On the 15th the Seniors gave a concert. Friday, the 16th, the Dramatic Club presented the Taming of the Shrew. Once more we saw Catherine M. in gentleman ' s clothes, but Myrtle Fawcett was the shrew this time, Mar- gery Moore the charming little maid, and Melva Hetherington, in her usual role, the humorous. A great deal of credit is due each and every member of the Club, for each one did so well in her part we cannot compare. Athletics The year is over and so are Athletics. Perhaps the two most interesting con- tests in the past few weeks were the swimming contests, the results of which are reported elsewhere, and the tennis tournament. The latter saw many keen matches, and in spite of Fred ' s many warnings keep off the flowers, there was interest and enthusiasm through- out. The final winners in doubles were Mary McLelland and Jessie Love, and in singles Jessie Love. Both of the win- ners received prizes on Commencement Day. The other interesting event which we are glad to announce is the election of Mary McLelland by the vote of the stu- dents as holder of the Strathcona Shield for one year for efficiency in athletics, womanly qualities and scholarship. Con- gratulations to Mary, who so richly de- served this honor because of her fair play and hard study throughout the year. MARY McLELLAND. The Holder of the Strathcona Shield. 26 V OX COLLEGII Mrs. Will Lyndiatt, Miss Jessie Tav- lor, Mrs. L. D. Ray, Miss Nellie Jefferis and Miss Gladys Hart have been the giTests of Mrs. G. D.

After September 1st, her address will be 38 Lorne Ave., Chatham, Out. Mr. and Mrs. W. J. H. Richardson have been enjoying a ' isit in London with ]Mr. and Mrs. Barnard, and in Mit- chell with Mr. and Mrs. Greenwood. We were glad to see Miss Emma Kauf- man at the Summer Conference. She is home from Japan on furlough. Other Trafalgar Daughters at the C ' onference were IVIiss Isabel Runisey, Miss Grace Dalton and Miss Ruth Hilliard. Miss McGillivray is spending the sum- mer at Brackley Beach, Prince Edward Island. ROBERTS— LANCBLY. The new and beautiful Howard Park, Methodist Church in Sunnyvside Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, was the scene of a pretty wedding recently ' , when Kath- leen Augusta, daughter of Rev. E. D. and Mrs. Lanceley, was united in mar- riage with Mr. Ewart Cecil Roberts, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Roberts,, of Indian Road. The church was pret- tily decorated with palms, peonies and daisies. The bride entered the church on the arm of her father, while her cousin, Miss Carrie Lanceley, played the Lohen- grin wedding march. The ceremony was pei formed by the- bride ' s father, assisted by Rev. Dr. Creighton, editor of The Guardian, and by the Rev. J.W. Cannom, of Port Hope,, uncle of the bridegroom. The bride look- ed pretty, gowned in white pussy willow silk and lovely chantilly lace with trim- ming of seed pearls. She carried a show- er bouquet of lilies of the valley and roses, and wore the bridegroom ' s gift, a three-stone diamond ring. The bridal veil, with a wreath of orange blossoms, fonned a Juliet cap, and fell softly to the end of the long court train. The bride ' s attendants were Miss Louise Dickson, as maid of honor, and Miss Winnifred Lancely and Miss Lila Roberts, as bridesmaids. The Passing of Mr. R. J. vScore Our Former President. We did not know on the 2-l:th of May that while we were having so exciting times at the May Court Festival, Mr. Score, President of the Board of Direc- tors of the College, was passing from this life to the one beyond. The news- papers and magazines have already giv- en to our readers a sketch of his success- ful career. It remains for us as College students to express our deep apprecia- tion of the work that he has done for us and for the College throughout the many yeai ' s of his connection with it.

The only question is how to make the whole wheat grain digestible. That problem has been solved in the making of the shredded whole wheat wafer. It is the whole wheat, steam-cooked shredded, compressed into a wafer, and baked — the maximum of nutriment in smallest bulk.
