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. But all that happened six years ago, and ever since then Win has been a member of each class in tui ' n being President of the Elementaries for two years, vice-president of Freshmen, and after her Sophomore year, in which she was also elected vice-prcs., she be- came a Junior Domestic holding the vice-presidentship of her class. This year Win. has ben an active member of the Senior Committee. For the past two years she has been Athletic Treas- urer. We have been trying to imagine (). L. ( ' . without her, but we find that impossible after her being here six years. Win has always taken an ac- tive interest in everything connected with the school, and we feel quite sure that her Ijright spirit will find her hosts of friends everywhere. Good luck, AVin.
