VOX COLLEGII 7 eial Club, and is also secretary of the Senior Class. She has shown great ca- pability in both these offices-. Next year she intends to take a position in Ham- ilton. 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. Ethel Morden. Ethel was born in Hamilton, where she attended the Collegiate Institute, taking her Junior Matriculation. She took an active part in the Lyceum and was a successful worker on the Vox Lycei staff. She continued her splendid work when she came to O.L.C. this year, being elected to the position of Editor-in-Chief of the ' Vox ' . She also took a very active part in all lines sport. This year Ethel took her M.E.L. course, graduating with honors and winning the gold medal; as well as taking Intermediate piano. Favorite expression — Well of course, nothing makes me sick. 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

6 V03, COLLEGII womanly qualities she was elected May Queen, and who ever forgets how sweet she was and how well she filled the po- sition? We hope that in years to come she may win her way in the world as she has into the hearts of all the girls. Alice Savage. Alice, or as we know her better as Sammy, comes to us from Marie- ville, where she received her High School education. She has spent only one year here, but has completed her Commercial Course with exceptionally high standing. She has also taken her Junior piano exam., and so has spent a very profitable year. To many of us Sammy perhaps seems very quiet, but not so to those who really know her best. However, we all have learned to love her, and w r ish her every success in her work next year. Mildred Cole. Mildred Cole first saw the sun- shine in Woodstock, Ontario. There she attended school until four years ago, when she moved to High Park Gardens, Toronto, and after a short time there she cast in her lot with O.L. C. In her junior year she was presi- dent of the Art Club, and in her Sen- ior year Art representative for Vox, and secretary-Treasurer of the Club. What the school will do without Mil- dred ' s ready help, no one knows. Hobby — Painting posters and cross- stitching. Pet expression — Oh, darn Reta. Betty Martin. Betty Martin was born in Hamilton, and got her Matriculation in the Ham- ilton High School. She graduates in Domestic Science this year, and has been a very able treasure in the Do- mestic Science Club during her two years. Next year she expects to special- ize in music. Hobby — ' Writing essays. Favorite Saying — Heavens to John. Olive Payne. Olive ' s home is in Chapleau. Discov- ering that her ambition was to flourish the paint brush, she left High School to take the 0. L. C. Art Course, and was President of the Class this year. Olive is the personification of good-natured- ness, and even though unseen, her proximity is always known by her whole-hearted laugh which ripples out so spontaneously, or by her measured ti ' ead, which never changes according to moods. Evidently the girls think her hobby is making place-cards, for prior to any school festivity or D. S. student ' s luncheon, she is always be- sieged with requests to make them. Her favorite saying — Oh, Landy. Gwendoline Klombies. Gwendoline, better known as Gwen, claims Manchester, England, as her birthplace, but went to Lashburn when only three years old. She receiv- ed her elementary education there, also attended St. Alban ' s College, Sas- katoon, where she took music and mis- cellaneous subjects, coming to O.L.C. in 1918. Gwen held quite important offices, being Vice-President of both the Y.W. OA. and the Okticlos Club, but she very capably filled them along with her heavy course in music, taking her In- termediate Piano, also her A.T.C.M. in Vocal with honors, and is the Gold Medallist of her year. She also re- ceived the highest marks last year in Intermediate vocal. She will be great- ly missed in our halls next year, but we hope she will have the best of success in whatever she undertakes. Favorite Expression — I ' U be dag- gered. Helen Luke. Helen is another of our numerous Hamilton girls. She received her High School education in Oshawa, and came to us in 1918, and elected the Commer- cial Course, in which she graduated this year. This year she holds the po- sition of Vice-President of the Commer-

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
