Another seliool year lias passed and taken with it many of our old class- mates who will never return to us. However, there are those who will return with many new irls to make another year of events for the next Vox. We liope lo make this year ' s paper at least as good and if possible better tlian any Vox of former years. We also wish to make it a higher standard to live up to for the Vox staffs of future years. This Hiagaizne has achieved its suc- cess through the splendid c:)-o])er;!ti(ni of the Faculty, the studeui body airl 1lu Vox staff. We wish t-o thank oi f and all for their loyal sup})oi [. Our Vox would be impossii)U ' ' vitli- ou1 the ass ' slance of our advert isei-s. They have done much to make our paper a bigger and better one than for- merly and so we wish to extend our thanks to them and hope that the future stiuhr ' nts of tlie school will 1)( loyal io those wlio have so willingly aided us. The numerous social activities which have occurr.-d thronghout the year have been delightful largely on account of the school spirit evident at all times. A school is only successful where school spirit prevails and it i s i liat spirit throughout the school that has made it what it is to-day. Our exhi- l)ition, field day and swimming meet were important events which were car- ried throug h to the satisfaction of all. We had seve ' ral good games of baskct- l)all wdth other schools and althougli we did not always carry off the honours of the day the gii ' ls took their defeat well and enjoyed the games in spite of their results. We wish success and extend coiigi-at- idations to those who have left our school aiul hope that they will look back with pleasant memories on the years of jov and good fellowship spent at (). C.

2 VOXCOLLEGII The Graduating Class of 1922 Jane Merchant About September 14th, 1920, there came to O.L.C. a dainty little iniss with large blue eyes, who announced her in- tention of studying A.T.C.M. work in piano. She was born in Akron, Ohio, but has lived in Bowmanville for eleven years, where she attended the Public and High Schools. Two years have gone swiftly l)y, but in the.se two years this little lady has won the admiration and love of her fel- low students. For the year 1921-22 she was Treasurer of the Okt.clos, and for most of our schools exhibitions she has been more than generous with her help at the piano. Many a Sunday night she has sung to us (luaint little songs and sometimes, Janey said she wouldn ' t, Janey said she couldn ' t. But she did, did, did. And best and loveliest of all, Jane is the Senior President. You are leaving us, Jane, with your coveted diploma, but O.L.C. will never forget you. We wish you every suc- cess in life and may your songs bring as much happiness to others as they have brought to us. Hobby— ' ' Boycotting. ' ' Favorite Expression — ' ' Gee, I was never so tired in my life. Silver Medal A. T. C. M. Jean Hickling ' Always busy and never, on time Jean claims Beautiful Barrie, situated sixty miles north of Toronto, as her native town. Her home at Broadlin Farm, where she was born is three miles out of the town. Before coming to O.L.C. she at- tended school near her home, and in Barrie. She registered at the College as an Art Student in the Spring of 1920. On her return the following fall, she decided to make Expression her major course, and this year is honoured by being the only graduate In that de partment and J ' resident of the Dramatic Club. She was an active membei of the Y.W.C.A., being vice-president and also vice-president of the Senior Class. She made a very imposing Speaker of The House in the Civics Club, and is a menil)er of the Vox Staff. Jean has a gift for friendship ; and the girls showed their love for her by making her one of the Councillors in the May Court. Her pet hobby is feeding the sick. Her favorite expressions — Oh, there goes the fourth and Really, yes really. Great Scott. Helen Johnston Helen was born in Owen Sound, where she spent the fii ' st six years of her life, later moving to Burlington, where she lived for seven years. She is, at present, residing in Oshawa. Helen came to O.L.C. two years ago to spec ' alize in music of which she has made a great success. She has been al- ways so willing- to help and advise ev- eryone. During her first year here, Helen was made a charter member of the Honour Club, Secretary of the Ok- ticlos and Art representative of Y. W. C. A. This year Helen holds three im- portant offices. She is on the Vox Staff, Secretary to the Senior Class and last, but by no means l?ast, the very capable president of the Oktielos Club. All of which she filled most worthily. She passed her A.T.C. M. with first class honours and tied for the much coveted Gold Medal. Helen leaves us this year and will be greatly missed in our halls next year, but we hope she will have the best of luck in her future undertak- ings. Favourite Expression — My kid bro- ther said. Hobby — Making out time-tables.
