GRADUATING CL ASS Ifttg iEuana Do 1 view this world as a vale of tears? Oh! reverend sirs, not I. Bang! Bang! popped a fire cracker. Two little eyes opened wide. ' Twas the twenty-fourth of May, nineteen six. Nine- teen years later the same wee tot, now no longer a child, entered the gates of Ontario Ladies 1 College to take up her Honour Ma- triculation Course. Before coming to Whitby Betty attended first the Bradford Public School and. wandering still further along the flowery paths of knowledge, en- tered Bradford Collegiate, taking her Jun- ior Matriculation there. She remained out of school for a year, but finding this not entirely to her liking nor that of her parents, she came to our dear old college. Upon leaving here Betty hopes to pursue her studies still further at the Toronto University. Although she has only attended O.L.C. for one year, she is well liked by one and all, and I know all of us wish her happi- ness and good fortune in her future ca- reer. Hobby — Hunting for hairpins.

G RADUATING CLASS ' ' Good nature is always contagious. Roared into the small ambitious town of Whitby on the Seventeenth of March, six- teen long years ago, Eileen Desmond, new spring model. Started off in low gear for a rough ride through Whitby Public School. The bumps were many, but she managed to get safely through without los- ing any screws. Slipped the clutch and shot into second for a fast pull through Whitby High School, in which she over- came many dangerous curves and many rocky hills with great success. Right into high into O.L.C. in nineteen twenty-three. Stopped now and then to take up commercial and music. This year she is leaving us, having taken two examin- ations in music, her two year Commercial Certificate and the medal in this course. Next year we expect Eileen is going to Detroit, but we will certainly wel- come her if she decides to come back to O. L. C. and to her music. However, we wish her a pleasant jour- ney wherever she goes. Hobby — Dancing the light fantastic. Favourite expression — Not at all, at all. IRargumtp Sarkann Anything Anywhere! Any time! Lete is one of our most energetic workers on the S.C.M. committee. Often, with chocolate bars as bate, has she fished the odd nickel from our pockets for the sake of the heathen Chinese. Not only there does she shine, but she is one of our best Dramatic students, filling the position successfully of Secretary of the Club. With her major course Domes- tic Science and the addition of Junior Vo- cal she is rather a busy young lady. And yet — she is ever ready for fun. Incidentally she was born at Port Perry about nineteen years ago, spending her time at school there before she came to us. And now, a toast to Lete . May her chocolate cake, her voice and her dram- atics be appreciated as much in her future life as they are here. Good luck, Lete! Favourite expression — - Aw kids! Be de- cent and get in your rooms. Hobby — Dropping hints.

GRADUATING CLASS lElramir iForfoa iHanntng Tis midnight but small thought have I of sleep. One of the greatest happenings in the year nineteen five was the arrival of twins at the Manning home. Eleanor, who was later christened Onie by her sister, laugh ' ed when she saw what a dreary old world this was, and said to herself: Now ' s my chance to make things lively! She attended Lord Roberts public school of London, and then High School, and in both places Onie excelled herself in carrying out her first resolution. At O.L.C., although first a Sophomore in an academic course, Onie later in the year took a violent fancy to Household Science and switched to Junior Domestic. She has proved herself to be the best kind of a sport and right true blue. Onie graduates this year in House ' hold Science and is intending to enter Vic- toria Hospital, London, in the summer months for her Pupil Dietetic course, but we hope to have her with us again next year to resume the Matriculation work she so recklessly threw over in her first year. Hobby — Art needle-work. As for a favourite expression — Onie doesn ' t talk (?) AUfftt Ifirmtr PurtriH Hang sorrow! Care will ill a cat, And, therefore, let ' s be merry. Aileen hails from Parry Sound, where she was born nineteen years ago this June. Perhaps her childhood days were unevent- ful, but we doubt it. Her mischievous eyes, which have gained for her the nick- name, Buster, contradict anything short of pirating the ocean. Buster ' s school days began in Parry Sound, and we are quite sure that she made life interesting for all those in com- mand. At the age of fourteen she came to Toronto, where she entered Harbord Collegiate. Three years later she return- ed to her old home. Buster ' s return to Parry Sound caused so much excitement that she found herself forced to desert the gay and frivolous life and to retreat to the quiet and peace of O. L. C. Since her arrival here she has been busy writing both Junior and Hon- our Matric, as well as studying music. Aileen intends to go to Varsity next year. We wish her the best of luck and hope she wins many laurels and popular- ity, as she has here. Favourite expression — - Oh loooord! Hobby — Filing Betty ' s finger nails to thus prevent their loss.
