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. When long years since I go to see A famous opera in a lift, I see to my astonishment The ever-famous Bobby Smith. I whispered to my next-seat friend Who is this at the last, ' ' My dear, my next-seat friend replies,, Director of the Cast ! HELEN CLARK. Her tongue is the law of kindness! A more kind-hearted, good-natured Su- pervisor ' twould be hard to find for the Orphans ' Home at Gait. The kiddies look forward with delight to the favorite des- sert-ice-cream and chocolate sauce, which soon found a place in the week ' s menus, when our Helen became matron of this institution.

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
