28 VOX COLLEGII led Avith beautiful hand painted china. Miss Maxwell poured tea in her usual eharming manner, while Miss Wriglit and our President, JMildred Cole, proved very delightful hostesses. The contest- ants of the swinnuing meet especially found the tea enjoyable. There is very promising Avork by the Junior Art Students and that of the school classes, particularly the entrance class, deserves honoroble mention. The studies of squirrels and birds add a new note to the exhibition and the outdoor sketches remind us of our many sunny May days. The quality of the drawings this year is especially high, and one feels assiired that a splendid foundation has l een laid for next year ' s fdfk. In the Keramie department good work has been done, both in design and wox ' k- manship. J. HiGQINBOTHAM. Household Science One can hardly believe tliis is the last issue of Vox. Our year has been so short, most pleasant and happy. Sub- jects, which at the beginning of the year sounded so awesome and difficult to study, are now finished, and there is no doubt but that we found our examina- tions a test of our ability. The sewing is being brought quickly to a finish and Mv. Atkinson ' s studio will look like a bazaar, Avhen we have our garments on exhibition. The truly great event of the year for each was the tinal luncheon for the Juniors ; and for the seniors the for- mal dinner with the breakfast and lunch- eon following. May it be said, that, as a proof of our practical practice, all were successful. Miss Dowson has been a SATnpathetic helper in overcoming the difficulties of uneven and over-balanced menus. At the luncheons two girls served ori the same day. The hostess did the cook- ing and had a maid for serving in the dining-room. With the Seniors the hos tess had both cook and Avaitress. The hostess prepared the dining-room, the china, the silver and decorations. These latter in every case were of pretty, deli- cate colors which blended well together. At each meal a representative of the Faculty was present. After the final dinner on May 31st and the final lunch- eon the following day, all the Senior Do- mestic girls enjoyed a clearing up of the dishes and tables. We fully realized that no more would we enjoy together tlie mastering of unknown palatable delicac- ies. The china was put in the cupboard for the last time and to the Junior Clasps we pass the best of wishes for a year as happy and with as much good fellow- ship as we enjoyed in 1920. J. Buckingham. Athletics Shortly after the Easter holidays, our basket-ball team went to Toronto to play the return game Avith St. Margaret ' s Col- lege. The game was very exciting, the teams being so evenly matched, and it was only after hard work that the O.L.C. team scored the fina,l point, the score being 12-10. After the game a delightful dinner was given our team. In the afternoon our team girls were the guests of St. Margaret ' s when the latter took them for

On acGount of taking the highest marks throughout the school year, as -well as the highest in the test examina- tion before Miss Wellington, who has charge of the expression department at St. Margaret ' s, Margaret Mclntyre was the Commencement reader, and winner of the gold medal donated and presented by Mr. R. C. Hamilton, President of the Board of Directors of the College. We wish the graduates success and hope to see the juniors all back next September to complete their course. H. A. Commercial On the afternoon of April 21st, the Commercial Club and the Sophomores, accom.panied by their respective class teachers, met in the Common Room, the former club having challenged the Soph- omores to a spelling match. The sides were chosen by Irene Carse as Captain of the Sophs, and Frances Stevens, Cap- tain of the Commercial team. Miss Ball kindly consented to dictate ■ the words which by the way were quite out of the ordinaiy. The match progressed very rapidly and the sides keeping quite even. The vietoiy of the Commercial is due to Edna Kerr, who spelled doAvn two op- ponents. Afterwards the girls gathered around the grate fire and enjoyed chat- ting for a while, then light refresh- ments were sei ' ved. On May 28, a very bright and pleas- ant aftea-noon, a group of probably twenty girls were seen wending their way along dusty roads towards Oshawa. This group was the Commercial Club girls. Miss Thompson, ajormer teacher, as guest of honor, and Miss Archibald, the Class teacher. On reaching Oshawa a short while Avas spent in sightseeing, then partaking of a light lunch at Welsh ' s. The girls reutrned bv tht? 7.45 p.m. G.T.R. train. The Commercial Club girls enjoyed a- veiy ' pleasant afternoon on June 4th, when Miss Thompson, of Whitby, was a charming hostess at afternoon tea. Miss Wright, of the College, assisted Miss Thompson. 0. Bennett. I found a rose one eager morn E ' er yet the sun was high ; How cool it was, how beautiful ! And then, I know nof.why, - I said, Ah no, I may not steal The crimson bud of you. So fair you are, so rare you are. Yet one thing will I do. And so, while ye+ the mom was young. E ' er yet the dew wa,s fled. I kissed the bud, the beaii iful ; And lo! the rosebud said, I am the lips of her you love; Behoved, watch me now! — An-d 0 my true love stood by me With roses on her brow. Our term in Art came to a very de- ]i?-htful close on Saturday, 5th, when af- terrioon tea was served by the Club in the ( Vawing room.
