To the members of the Junior Class, as coming graduates, we respectfully dedicate this our last will and testamenx, the sam.e to be enforced two months frt-m preseiit date: 1. To the Seniors of year ' 17 we dedi- cate our beloved mistress, Miss Hden Scott, attached thereto all her sv. eetress and good nature. 2. The blessed privilege of walking out between the hours of three and five- thirty ; with all the nerve power neces- saiy to enter such forbidden paradise? as tea-rooms and confectionery stores. 3. Our daily classes, the same to oe distributed with an eye to the special talents of the individual. 4. The treasurer holds the sum of three cents, the said amount to be deliver- ed over to the Senior Class of year ' 17 on the 1st day of April, 1917. 5. Our influence for the general good desired and appreciated. 6. Two pounds of double-barrelled s enior dignity, with the admonition to handle same very gingerly, as it falls to pieces on slightest pretext. 7. The sincere hope that the students of dear old O.L.C. will be proud of the graduating girls of year ' 16 ; and that each Junior may have before her feet a smooth path overgrown with successes -and fragrant with good fortuiiC. Signed this 19th day of June, in the year of our Lord 1916. By- (1) His Majesty, Sir Pen and Ink. (2) Her Royal Highness, the Duch- ess of Exampaper. Witnesses : — Carlece E. Fisher. Mrs. Sharpe. 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.

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.

Congratulations, Midge. GRACE FISHER. Grace Fisher is happily married and leading a very quiet life.

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.

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.
