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.

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.

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.

The SAvift and thorough preparations for the same — the dinner-party at which
