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.
