Principal Farewell ' s Closing Words to the Graduating Class In closing, I would say a special word to the members of the Graduating Class. It is, if I may say it, from the school standpoint, a matter of deep regret to see you passing out of our college halls, where we have become so happily fam- iliar. You are the largest Graduating Class since before the war. You each and all have done most creditable work in your respective departments through- out the year and easily deserve the hon- ors of gi ' aduation, which are now youx-s. By your splendid class spirit and school loyalty and generally fine conduct on all occasions, you have won the full ap- preciation of the members of the Fac- ulty and a sincerely warm place in the good-will and affection of your fellow students. By your willingness to carry through any offered suggestion making: for the welfare of the school and by your own initiative and effort in many directions you have been to mo as Prin- cipal a real strength throughout the year Bnd I shall ever remember with gratitude the fine spirit you have al- ways manifested. i have said we deeply regret your de- parture. And yet we would hesitate to. detain you. By the law of progress you should all go out into a life of larger opportunity and greater privilege ; some into the more complex and comprehen- sive life to the university ; some into the wider field of business; others into the great teaching profession and still oth-

vox COLLEGII 13 ers into your home communities, where because of your life here you will nat- urally assume among your fellow young people places of leadership and power. In these spheres of larger service Ave look to you to fail not. A thousand voices will call you. Some you will do well to heed ; some you will do well not to heed. Learn to discriminate between the voices, answering only to those which lead to duty and privilege and service, and which alone make for the develop- ment and strengthening of your finest traits of character. Ever remember the motto of our Hon- or Club : ' ' She conquers who conquers herself, and weave into the very fibre of your being its underlying principle — Privilege carries with it responsibil- ity. These things do, and. you will be supremely happy and your lives will count for high and. noble things. The school will continue to think of you; we shall trust you and rely upon you to always carry her standards high. The beautiful chimes which you are so generously leaving behind you, will ever remind us of the good-will and harmony and sense of duty which have ever ac- tuated you. Our prayer from day to day shall be that God may wonderfully keep you and bless you and cause His face to shine upon you and help you to he and to do your best alway. The Prophecies GrLADYS AnBERSON, 1935. One day I casually wandered into a theatre in New York where a large or- chestra was playing. The first thing that attracted my attention was the fact that the pianists was a lady. Shortly after- Avards, I obtained a progi amme with tho names of the various members of Profes- sor Butinslvv ' g orchestra. To my sur- prise the pianiste ' s name Avas Gladys Anderson. Curiosity and interest led me to seek an interview AAdth the accomp- lished lady. After the symphony con- cert, as I Avas led up to her, I began to recognize her as the same Gladys Avho graduated Avith the Senior Class of 1920. Girls, you would never have recognized her. She was quite stout, and her chub- by fingers had all they could do to stret- ch the octaves, nevertheless, she seemed quite a capable member of the orchesti ' a and had every promise of success in the future. Blanche Bass. I was seated in the front row of the Gaiety Opera House, Toronto, waiting expectantly for the curtain to rise on the famous musical comedy, Carmen. I Avas very much excited as the Avell-known Canadian prima-donna, Blanchette Bas- sino AA as paying her first visit to her na- tive land after studying vocal for many years in China. The audience merely stood the opening choruses for all eyes and ears Avere open for the entrance of the Star of the occasion. Finally she appeared — a thunderous roar of ap- plause burst out as the tall and boldly handsome Carmen strode in and burst into a powerful flow of melodious Avarb- lings. I sat spellbound listening to each magic note, but it Avas not until the art- ist sang one of Jones popular songs for an encore that I came to myself, and T came Avith a jolt — for there before my eyes I recognized my old schoolmate, Blanche Bass. Indeed, it Avas the same Blanche, tall and muscular Avith piercing • black eyes. I Avas filled Avith excitement and sent a note to see if I might speak Avith her af terw:ai ' ds. She very graciously sent Avord that she would grant me flA ' -e minutes. I did not have opportunity to hear much of her story in that short time but gained a fcAV facts concerning the change in her career. It seemed that, unknoAVii to the rest of us, Mr. Blight, A ocal instructor at O.L.C., had been wild about her voice and had advised her strongly to give up everything but vocal. So she had Avorked for years and had
