VOX COLLEGII she came back to school after Easter and finished her Junior year and en- joyed it thoroughly. She returned in September, 1920, and was made Vice- President of the Domestic Science Club. Now at the end of this year, having more than fulfilled the require- ments of a Graduating Senior, she is leaving us, and we wish her every suc- cess in whatever she may undertake. Her favorite expression — It makes me sick. Elizabeth Reynolds. Bessie was born in Beeton, where she has lived ever since. She attended the Beeton High School where in 1919 she passed her Junior Matric. with honors. After remaining at home for a year, she came to O.L.C. in Septem- ber last and is now graduating in the M.E.L. Course. Next year Bessie ex- pects to go to Toronto University, and we hope while there she will disting- uish herself as a brilliant student just as she has done here this year. Her pet expression is — Well, if that wouldn ' t skin you. Hobby — Sleeping. Laura Smith Laura, generally known as Ced- ric, claims West as her birthplace, having lived in Edmonton, Alta., all her life. She attended the Collegiate there, taking an active part in basket- ball and hockey. She also had the hon- or of being Canada ' s first woman Am- bulance driver during t he late war. Laura came to us in September, 1920, and began the year by taking Junior Matriculation work, but on finding this course too easy, devoted the remainder of the year to taking both Junior and Senior Domestic. After a very success- ful year she will leave us not to return. We shall all miss her next year, but wish her the best of success at what- ever she may attempt in the future. She has so many funny expressions it takes us all our time remembering them, but her favorite one is — Oh, kids, my poor sewing. Maude McQuillan. Our well represented city of Toronto claims another of our 1921 Seniors — Maude McQuillan. Here she was born and here she spent the early part of her life attending Oakwood Collegiate, where she obtained her Junior Matric, and took the work of the Senior Ma- tric. She also took an active part in the Collegiate sports, winning the laur- els for the tennis championship. In 1919 she entered 0. L. C. as a Junior Domestic, also finding time to carry on her music, so that in the next year she did not return to us until January af- ter her music exams, in Toronto had been tried successfully. Maude kept up her good record in the sports, winning the tennis cup in the spring tourna- ments. She pursued her Senior year in the Domestic Science course, and has now won her way to graduation. We wish her every sucess in whatever she undertakes. . Pet expression — That ' s jake. Winifred Scott. Winifred was born in Saskatchewan, but for some time has lived in Whitby. This is her second graduation from 0. L. C. The first time in Art, and this year she has taken her A. T.C.M. in pi ano with honors, and taking the gold medal. We remember that her former ambition was to get her L. T.C.M., and we hope that she may real- ize that ambition. Favorite Pastime — Picking Ber- ries. Norma Moore. Norma claims Hamilton as her birth- place, but for a long time Toronto has been her home ; and there at Parkdale Collegiate she passed her Junior Ma- triculation with honors. Three years ago she came to O.L.C. to take her In- termediate Piano, finishing her year ' s work and passing her examinations with honors. She also received Mr. At- kinson ' s medal for the highest stand- ing. This year she has taken her A.T. CM., passing with honors and taking

Her hobby is going to Gym classes. Favorite Expression ■ — Have you found the Knife. Viola Glenn. Viola has lived in Stella, where she attended High School until coming here two years ago. During her first and second years she elected to con- tinue this work and up to matriculation standing. This year she has continued her Domestic Science course, making a great success of it. She has been ab- sent for some weeks receiving a valu- able practice as assistant dietitian in Wellesley hospital, Toronto. We wish her all success in the future. Kathleen Macdonald. Sixteen years ago in Winnipeg, our Kathleen Macdonald made that city famous. Shortly afterwards, however, she moved to Coaticook, Que., where she spent, shall we say, her childhood? ' Three years ago Kay came to 0. L.C. and started her High School work. She switched, however, to the Domestic Science course in her second year, and is graduating this year. Kay held the position of Secretary in our Honour Club, and proved a very faithful officer. We shall certainly miss her very sweet smile and personality next year, but we know she will gladden those around her in Montreal where she will be re- siding. Her favorite expression — Aren ' t you funny, though? Beirnice Breese. Bernice, better known as Breesie, came to 0. L. C. after Xmas, 1919, from her home town, Chatsworth. Her stu- dies were chiefly, music, matriculation, French and English. She entered all sports, and was particularly fond of tennis and basketball. She returned in September, 1920, where she continued her musical studies and such activities as basket-ball. This year she had to drop the sporting side of college life and settle down to really hard work, that of preparing her A.T.C.M., Vocal, Senior Sight Singing and Theory ex- ams. We all shall miss her smiles next year, and we wish her every success in the future. Her favorite expression — Didn ' t I, Glad? Elva Haskett. Elva is a native of London. She at- tende the London Collegiate, but before obtaining her Matric. she left and went to Miss Harrison ' s private school. When she came to O.L.C. she made a very successful student in Expression. This year she pursued her course still further, obtaining the gold medal for the highest standing. Her pet hobby is borrowing hand- kerchiefs and visiting in Trenton. Favorite expression — ' Oh, gee.

Ailene Marshall. Ailene came to us from Sault Ste. Marie in September, 1919, intent on taking Junior Domestic work. She didn ' t begin to like the life here before Xmas, then she took a little holiday and went to California. The climate of the South obviously agreed with her, as

Pet expression — You know — you know what I mean. On Saturday, September the eigh- teenth, we walked to the lake for our annual picnic. We all left the school a little after two in the afternoon and took the route that we call The back lane. The time before supper was spent in taking pictures, playing games, and some of the younger students paddled in the water. At tea we all camped around Mrs. Ross ' cottage and were served to sandwiches of all kinds, cake, fruit, and coffee in abundance. A short time after we started back home, and by the time we reached the college we were a tired lot of girls. The following Friday night we had an impromptu masquerade to which the faculty and new students were in- vited. The different colors of the var- ious costumes made a pretty picture from the gallery. There were games and dancing alternately throughout the evening from which we derived much enjoyment. When the evening was nearly over, ice-cream-cones, were served. This brought the program to a close. At noon on October the eighth, the entire school received an invitation from Mr. ' and Mrs. Farewell to an At Home ' the same evening. Mr. and Mrs. Farewell entertained us with choice musical selections, after which dainty refreshments were served. The next social function was the Hal- lowe ' en Party. The costumes were or- iginal and very pretty. Special men- tion was made of the two trees (Shirley Leishman and Louise Burns) ; the two violins (Reta Kerslake and Mildred Cole) ; Pen and Ink (Muriel Thomson and Hilda Dawson). Fol- lowing the march there were dances presented by Miss Murchie ' s students and Dickens ' The-Holly-Tree-Inn by members of the Expression Class. After the program the judges award- ed the f olowing prizes : For the pret- tiest costume, Helen McDougall ; for the most original, Hilda Dawson and Muriel Thomson, and for the funniest,
