GRADUATING CLASS I ma e it a rule to believe only what I understand. One bright day in August, nineteen six, Rhoda E. first entered this conglo- merated world and proceeded to attempt its reformation. After several years of idleness at home she found herself attend- ing Brown School, thus adding greater glory to its already famous name. In the lapse of time she directed her footsteps to- ward Bishop Strachan School, where for three years Rhoda received a great deal of attention. Suffice it to say, she arrived in our midst in the autumn of nineteen twen- ty-three, and since that time has been one of our most energetic girls. Last year Rhoda was on the Vox and Year Book Staff, and this year is the cap- able Editor of our much loved school mag- azine. Her energy has been directed mostly towards sports, in which she has excelled. As manager of the basketball team and a splendid forward on it and as defence on the hockey team, she has aided the school in its many conquests. Graduat- ing as an M.E.L., we wish Rhoda Eliza- beth the greatest success and happiness in the years to come.

GRADUATING CLASS (6ran» lEUinl Vent, vidi, vici. April second, nineteen seven, was the eventful day in Toronto. Eleven years later Grace arrived at O.L.C. and has been here ever since. She has the honour of being here the longest of any girl in the school, seven, years, and was, this year, Valedic- torian. The college has been a home to her for so long that we can readily un- derstand how hard it will be for her to leave it. We can safely say that Grace is an all- round girl and proficient in every sport. Last year she won the gold medal in swim- ming and a medal for the highest mark in Intermediate Piano. She has a very bril- liant record. She has held offices in the Elementary, Freshman and Sophomore classes, winning a prize in her entrance year for the highest standing in her class. She is now graduating in her M. E. L. course. This year she is president of the Chromatic Club, on the Vox staff, and sec- retary of the Senior Class. She not only takes a great interest in sports but in S. C. M. work also. Next year Grace intends to go to Vic. Favourite expression — Oh, for heaven ' s sake. Hobby — Dressing up. 3fan fOauslauglj The best of wisdom is a cheerful grin! Jean, or better known as Granny, is one of our few Brantford girls. It seems that in Woodstock about eighteen years ago the Morning Post of August twelfth came out with the announcement of a daughter to Mr. and Mrs. John Bauslaugh. Great excitement! But oh! if one could have but seen her future! Early in life she moved to Brantford. Through Public and High School she flit- ted her way, gracefully taking her Junior Matric. Then! One sunny morning a cata- logue caught her eye, an O.L.C. catalogue. Whitby was the place for her! She arrived here in September, 1924, and throughout the year has proved her- self an able student at Honour Matric work and is liked by one and all. During the latter part of the year she has success- fully filled the office of Senior Class Treas- urer. We will miss Granny a great deal. Best of luck at Varsity, old girl! Favourite expression — My cottony! Hobby — Living up to her nickname — ■ ' slow motion.

GRADUATING CLASS Hargarpt (Eolrman The thirst to now and understand The things that are most excellent. Entered on the Book of Life in nine- teen six. One Margaret Elizabeth Coleman. Address, Burlington, Ontario. Marg was brought up in Burlington and acquired her knowledge at Burlington Pub- lic School, then started her High School course in Hamilton Collegiate. She at- tended that school three years and then, thinking that she would like to take two years ' work in one, thus taking her Pass and Honour Matric in one year, she de- cided to come to O. L C, knowing that she could accomplish what she desired, here. She arrived in September, nineteen twenty- four, and is graduating this year with M.E.L., taking home with her not only the Silver Medal for second in gen- eral proficiency, but also a scholarship. Next year will find her at her home in Sutherland, Florida, where she will likely take up her music again. Don ' t eat too many oranges, Marg— nor forget to dream a little of O. L. C. as you wander under the shades of the Flori- da palms. Favourite expression - Just wait a minute! Hobby — Writing letters. ISjfUn iHfUmu And cloudy the day or stormy the night The s y of her heart was always bright. None of us know Helen very well, but we do know that she is very jolly, and al- ways has a smile for everyone. Maybe it is because she lives in Port Perry and is so proud of her home town. At any rate, A merry heart doeth good like medicine, and to see Helen once a week at the college laughing with everyone gives a fresh twang to one ' s own dull disposition. Her education was received in the Port Perry Public and High Schools, where she climbed from the lowest rung to the high- est of Honour Matric, and now she is a member of the Senior Class of ' 25. Her music comes to her as easily as skipping classes comes to most of us, and this year she has graduated with her A.T.C.M., in which she made a very good mark, and won the gold medal. Three lusty cheers for Helen! Favourite expression — Oh! You bet! Her idea of perfect bliss is to practise ten hours a day. Bon Chance, Helen!
