Favorite Expression — For the love of the Pope! ! Jessie Brown Of the nineteen years of her life two short fleeting ones have been spent at O.L.C, Born in Ridgeway, 1904, Jes- sie came to us in 1921 with a Junior Matriculation Certificate already ac- quired. The first question was as us- ual, What course shall I take? But when Mr. Farewell explained that the course to be taken was the one that would best fit her for her life course to come, with no hesitation whatever, Jessie dived boldly and bravely into tne Household Science course. And now as a graduate of the same course she leaves us, carrying away with her a great deal of what is most desirable in life, a host of friends, recollections of the best times of her life and success in all lines of activity she entered into. Hobby — Doing art needlework. Favorite Expression — Well, girls, I won ' t curl my hair to-night! Evelyn Carss Ev was born in Orillia in 1902. There she passed many happy days at public school and three years at High School. She came to O.L.C. in 1921 and passed her Junior, matriculating with flying- colors. The following year she returned with high hopes for her Honor Matriculation, in which we are all sure she will be successful. Ev is what one might call an all-round student. Although her course has been a difficult one she has not neglected the physical side of her development. Ev is President of the Athletic Association and is a sport in every sense of the term. The basket-ball squad will cer- tainly miss her next year in their fiery combats. We all wish her the best of luck in the future, but what a pity one cannot see the future beforehand, Ev might have changed her course. Hobby — AVriting letters. Favorite Expression — Did I get a letter? Virginia Charles Toronto was the great metropolis that first hailed Virginia to this world full nineteen years ago. To begin with the claims of Ontario suited her, but before long we find her flying away to England where she went to school. However, Canada drew her again, and for a while Toronto schools dealt with her. Inevit- ably, liowever, she came to O. L. C. and for six years Virginia has been true to the blue and blue. In her first year she tackled her Entrance, and it fell before her. Then for three years she dug indus- triously into Latin verbs, square roots, and plucked from 0. L. C.

vox COLLEGII 3: forget yesterday, no matter what hap- pened, and face to-day ' s work as though he had no reputation. Since then he has always found it better to keep himself humble than to have life come along and humble him. There is no place on any payroll for a man who is living on his reputation. The man who has quit trying has quit producing. Nothing is a cinch in business. What is worth having is worth taking care of. To-morrow should be one ' s big stimu- lant. All should ask Avhat it holds in store for them to face. Coming back to the athlete. He goes out one day and makes a big hit. He gets into the good graces of the fans, players and manager. A week later he begins to feel that he doesn ' t have to work so hard. He doesn ' t have to prac- tice the game. He loafs on the bench never grasping the opportunity to pi ' ac- tiee. The day come ; when he does not make good. The same thing follows rap- idly in succession. He is dropped from the squad and has to begin all over a- gain. His reputation is lost. If he had practiced and taken as much interest in his work after he made a name for him- self, as he did before he earned a repu- tation, he would prol al ly have been held in the high esteem of his fellow players. This is a little creed many should ad- opt : That I shall come each day to its task eager and fjiad to work-, grateful for the accomplishments of the past, but mindful always that to-day demands the best that is in me. — Kink ' ie.
