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. This vas fol- lowed by class songs and old-fashionec

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.

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.
