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.

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. ' s High School wisdom the fruits of knov ledge. This

After attending Pickering College for two or three years, Winifred arrived at Whitby Junction one Septemlier day, a little girl with a long braid down her liack bumped up to the side door in the bus.
