To every man there openeth A way and ways and a way. Trafalgar bids good-bye to another year. June flits by and the Seniors of 1 2? are leaving her. Keenly, yet wistfully, she peers into each heart as one and all cross over the threshold. The High Soul climbs the High ' Way, The Low Soul gropes the Low, And in between on the misty flats, The rest drift to and fro. Climb! Grope! Drift. Each girl to follow her way. Some instinctively climb, others naturally grope, and most unthinkingly drift. But to every man there openeth A High Way and a Low, And every man decideth The way his soul shall go. And so Trafalgar watches her daughters. There, on the down road, groping and stumbling, are the souls who serve Self ; there, climbing the uphill road, are jthe souls who live, the souls who love, the souls who fight on; and on the misty flats, those who merely exist. Up on the hills the challenge rings out: Come out and feel the storm go by! Perhaps some in the misty flats, or even on the Low Road, hear the call, and, turning eagerly, scale the heights. Here and there a climber, overcome by the storms, loses her grip and drops back to lower levels. A Way and Ways and a ' Way! It is for us to decide. Each of us must choose a Way, and only one. No one can travel two roads. The cool shadows of the valley road are tempting, but the windy hills — they call, and there is a challenge in their voice. — V.M.

The friendliest creature imaginable and as full of activities as H. Sc. is of menues. February the eighth was a day of great rejoicing in the Wright family, for on that celebrated day Betty placed firmly her lit- tle feet on the ladder of fame and has climbed steadily ever since. Before Betty came to O. L. C. she re- ceived her Public School education at Brown School in Toronto. Leaving there she spent two years in California. She fin- ally decided to come to Whitby, where she has been a very loyal student for five years. She has filled her many offices with ad- mirable capability, making a very dignified and staid Senior Vice-President and at the same time an enthusiastic Athletic Vice- President. Betty is graduating in Domestic Science this year, also taking her Junior Piano and Junior Vocal. She is going to train, we believe, as a nurse, and although we hate to lose her, and know that we will miss her very much, we all wish her every success and happi- ness in her future life. Favourite expression — Oh! For John ' s sake. Hobby — Doing things she says she can ' t.
