6 VOX COLLEGII Our real appreciation of her splendid spirit and fine qualiti es was shown on May Day, when she Avas chosen as one of the Councilloi-s. We wdsh her success in whatever life-A -ork she may choose, and feel sure that we shall, some day, be even prouder than we are now, to think of Dorothy as an old O.L.C. girl. Favorite expression Oh. it ' s aw-ful! it ' s gh-ast-ly! Dorothy Sorby, Dorothy was born in Guelph and has lived there all her life. She took her collegiate education there and came here last year taking up the Home Makers ' Course. This year she pursued hpr course further taking Senior Domestic Science and also Intermediate Piano. Owing to illness, her examination has been delayed Init we feel sure she will ])c successful. We wish her all success in whatever -work she chooses after leaving college. Hobby — Measles and Bacteriology. Favorite expression Honestly, kids. Adelaide Stenning. Adelaide claims Coaticook, Que., as her place of birth, but now She rbrooke claims her as a resident. Adelaide came to us four years ago, after receiving her first knowledge, as it were, at The Ac- ademy in Coaticook. Since coming to Whitby, Adelaide has taken High School work and studied music with Mr. Atkin- son. This year she made the final grade and passed her A.C.T.M. with Honors and as Silver Medallist. As Vice-Pres- ident of the Honour Club her services have been indispensable. She may be small, but she ' s mighty. Pet expression: Mv dear, I nearly died! Frances Stevens. Frances Stevens, who was bom in Montreal 18 years ago, went to Miss Smith ' s School at Ottawa. Since com- ing to O.L.C. Frances has played a prominent part in everything. Last year she took part in baseball, basketball and .swimming. She was the very capable President of the Commer- cial Club in both Junior and Semoi- years. As we all know, Steve excells in singing. She has passed with honoi ' s, her Junior and Intermediate Vocal Ex- aminations, and last year received 1he medal for the highest standing. But Frances did not only study Commercial and Vocal. She has also made a success of piano and we hope that she will con« tinue to do so. Nor can Ave ever forget that this same sweet Frances was our May Queen. We know that long after she leaves here the memory of one of the happiest days of her life— May Day — Avill remain in her inind as in ours. Her favorite expression Oh, Johu, are we really r-u-in-ed! Laureen Terryberry. Toronto claims Terry now as a citizen, but Port Rowan is noted as her birthplace. Before coming here she at- tended school in Preston, where she lived for some time, and also Havergal College in Toronto. Last year ' ' Terry ' ' came to Whitby and took her Matricu- lation, coming through with only one star, but that did not hinder her from trying one better this year, and so she took her M.E.L. jWhile here she has been very active in all lines of sport, and has presided over the Junior Class and also Athletics. Next year, Terry hopes to go to University in Toronto, and we wish her all success. Her pet expression Nothing makes me sick ! May Webster. May is one of our Western girls, com- ing to O.L.C. from Calgary. She was bom and brought up in that city and matriculated from the Calgary Colleg- iate Institute. May was enrolled here a a student in the Senior Domestic Class. Throughout the year she has shown true school spii-it. May was Secretaiy of the Athletic Association and was chos- en Counsellor to the May Queen. We wish May every success in whatever course she may pursue in the future. Favorite expression, Oh, say!

8 VOX COLLEGII Monday — Class Day. Class Day came at last, that day of all the year when Seniors, clad in cap and gown, seem to receive all the honours. It was looked fonvard to with the greatest excitement and we were not to be disap- pointed either in the weather or the ceremonies. Each gi ' aduate ' s face was alight as the procession of twenty -two linked by a beautiful chain of bridal wi-eath proceeded do vTi the stainva - from Upper ] Iain. AVhen they reached the bottom of the staira the school was lined up on each side of the hall, and with a few appropriate words the Sen- ior President, Dorothy Morden, pre- sented a beautiful set of chimes to the School, a o ' ift from the Senior Class of 1920. Follo dng this ceremony, a link from the chain was cut as each fair graduate ' s biography was read by the Junior Presi- dent, Jean Leishman. The Senior song was then sung with a good deal of en- thusiasm, after which the President ex- pressed in a few words her appreciation of the co-operation which had been mani- fested in the Class dui-ing the whole year, and the honour she had felt in being its President. But even more than this, she washed to express appreci- ation of the class teacher. Miss Ball. She had been evei ' i:hing that could be desired — a girl among girls, a Senior among Seniors, and an inestimable ex- ample and help to the members of the Class. As a very slight token of es- teem. Miss Ball was then presented with a gold wrist watch. She replied very suitably, and emphasized the note of harmony which had existed between the class and teacher, the class and school, . and wished the graduates every success in the future. A short address was then read to fhe President by Jeannette Higginbotham : To the President of the Senior Class : Representing the Senior Class I take this opportunity to show in a very small way our great appreciation of yoiir splendid leadership during this year. It has meant so much to us to have such a competent and energetic President and we feel that our success as a class is due, in a great measure, to your -capability. We fully realize the responsibility which has rested upon you and the time you have spent in the interests of the class. The past year we hope has been as much pleasure to you as it has been to us and we wish you every success in whatever you may undertake. ' ' The prophecies were the next great item of interest and the graduates listen- ed attentively while their futures were revealed to them. Dorothea Snider then read the vale- dictory as follows : At six o ' clock a hungry lot of Seniors assembled in the drawing-room, and when dinner was announced withdrew to the Domestic Science Dining-room, where the Juniors had prepared a ban- quet. The table was very tastefully de- corated in the class colors — coral and black, using wi ' eaths of honeysuckle and paper streamers. It was a very merry dinner party and the menu was something not soon to be forgotten. The dainty salads and ices displayed some clever thinking on the part of the Junior Class, for the color scheme was can-ied out even in these. Everyone then made a hasty change into middy and bloomers and gathered on the lawn aroimd a never-to- be-forgotten bonfire. Each gi ' aduate put her most hated subject into the fire, and recited a suitable (and original) versb, watching the book slowly fade into grey ashes, never to return. Merry songs, accompanied by ukeleles, filled the night air and finally closed by an im- pressive singing of Auld Lang Syne. It was with deep regret that this won- derful day came to a close, and we •would like to say, Three Cheers for the Juniors. It usually is difficult for one to voice the thoughts and feelings of twenty but to-day it seems an easy task. Al- though our work has been so different, and so many different activities have taken up our time throughout the year
