Financially the Bazaar was all that could be expected.

28 VOX COLLEGll As a result of a stimulating address by Mr. Haslam in the Fall, on account of the Upper Canada Bil)le Society, the students contributed $25.00 to the or- ganization, which gave the school a life membership in thi Upper Caiuida Bible Society. This membersliip by the unanimous vote of the meml)e} ' s of the Y was vested in Miss Maxwell. Following the preced;nt of the pre- vious year, the Y presented to the college an oak pulpit and a pulpit bible. These gifts were accepted on behalf ol ' the college by Mr. Farewell, who in a few words expressed appreciation ol: ' the happy relationships which exist be- tween the society and the school. The pulpit adds greatly to the decorat ve effect of the Concert Hall and really fills a long felt need. One of the opportunities for service in the town during the year was afford- ed by the Old People ' s Home. On a number of occasions a group of students visited these folk, taking with them candies and presenting a short pro- gram. It was a great delight to see the response of the old people in their happy smiles and enthusiastic applause. The Annual Bazaar was held on De- cember 3rd, and was a great success n every way. It was opened by Miss Maxwell at 3 p.m., and, as usual, there was a great rush at the fancy work booth which was prettily decorated in pastel (?) shades. The many dainty articles donated by the faculty and stu- dents were artistically arranged by Jean llickling, Helen Hughes and Lu- ella Scott. The candy booth, in charge of Elmy- i-a Nicholls and Myrtle Nesbitt, was very attractively decoi-ated in Christ- mas colors and the homemade candy was put up in Christmas boxes and bas- kets made by some of the girls. The Athletic booth was decorated n the Two Blues and the Kewpie bride and her attendants made quite an at- tractive centre piece. O.L.C. Christmas cards, sv eaters and penants were popu- lar .sellers and the booth was a great success under the direction of Miss Murchie, Gertrude Banwell and Winni- fred Hambly. Helen Johnston and Marjorie Kisbey dressed as boy and girl, had charge of a very original fish pond. The west mantle piece in the Common Room was decorated in red lattice work and one could easily imagine that Santa would come down the chimney at any minute. The articles to be fished for were placed INTERPRET AS YOU WILL
