GRADUATING GLASS m Cool, unperturbed by stress or hurry, Inclined to wor but not to worry. Mary claims Oakville, Ontario, not only as her birthplace, but also as her home town, for she has lived there ever since her first birthday, August thirteenth, nineteen four. Having broken the usual number of dolls and wept the usual number of tears, at last she finds herself, as is the custom, attending the usual sort of schools and learn ' ing the usual sort of cats and 2X2 =4 , s. The thirteenth of the month has cer ' tainly not seemed unlucky to Mary for she has managed to pass through public school and to take her Junior Matnc quite safely. Then Mary made up her mind that her education would not be complete without a year of boarding school, so, packing her trunk, she came to Whitby. Here she has had room-mates, feeds, fun and the ordinary share of hard work. She is leaving us now as a gradu- ate with her M.E.L. Hobby — Collecting stamps. Favouite expression — I don ' t know or I know. Mtien Vintner I must be cruel to be ind. Our dear Bunny first saw the light of day on September the second, nineteen hundred and two, in the little town of Havelock. Owing to the fact that her father is a Methodist minister, Bunny received her public school education in many various places. Before her advent into O. L. C. in nine- teen hundred and twenty-two Bunny spent two years at home. On entering the col- lege she chose as her vocation piano and vocal, making a great success in both. This year she is graduating in vocal with honors and the gold medal. Bunny has also held a number of im- portant offices while at O. L. C. The first year she was vice-president of the Athletic Association. Last year she was president of the S. C. M. and also had the honour of being one of the Councillors for the May Queen. This year Bunny was President of the Honour Club, a position which she filled very successfully. She was also President of the Choral Club. Favorite expression — Oh! Shoot!! Hobby — Playing Pollyanna.

GRADUATING CLASS •Pauline (Elariasa Aimma ' Why should life all labor he? On the morning of August thirteenth, nineteen six, the Adams household was much disturbed when their new daughter, Pauline, began to exercise her lungs for the first time. Pauline ' s first step in the Educational World was when she entered Havergal College. She spent two years of her school days here, and then switched to Brown School, the first school home of so many O.L.C. ' ites, where she received her Entrance certificate. Next she entered Oak ' wood Collegiate, but the attractions of O. L. C. were too much for her, so in the fall of twenty-three she became a Junior Domestic at Dear Old Trafalgar. She immediately became known to her friends as Pat and this name has stuck to her all during her two years spent here. Pat graduates this year, taking a House- hold Science certificate back to Toronto with her, and with it she takes the love and best wishes of all her fellow students. Favourite expression — Girls, third has gone. Hobby — Working cross-word puzzles. Patrtria (Smnlnj With gentle yet prevailing force Intent upon her destined course. Pat first smiled on the gay world at Not- tingham, England, nineteen three. She sang the opening bars of her song of life at a boarding school there, which she attended for several years. At sixteen she came to Canada, taking up her residence in Mont- real. Five years ago she arrived at O.L.C., spending but two years here. After re- maining a year at home the call of the Alma Mater proved too strong for her and she returned for three years more, one year of High School during which she took her Junior Matric, one year of Matric and Vocal combined and then one year of music . Last year she received the diploma for the highest standing in Intermediate Vocal, and this year she is graduating with A. T. C M. in same and the silver medal for second proficiency. O. L. C. will doubtless have cause to be proud of Pat in the fu- ture when she makes a name for herself in the musical world. Hobby — Taking snaps. Pet expression — Heaven to Betsy!

GRADUATING CLASS Urta luttbas The world ' s all right, serene I sit And joy that I am part of it. Who peeped out into our great world in nineteen two but a little girl — yes, I ' m pretty sure — who brought great joy to her mother and father. She was given the name Reta Dundas — one more person to assist in populating Toronto. After Reta was a few years old she went to Brown public school and later went to Moulton College in Toronto which started Reta out for her great work. In nineteen twenty she came to O.L.C. and with splendid help from Miss Spence passed her entrance with good standing. She did not return here the following September but went south with her family and took up another course returning to us again in nineteen twenty-three to take the two year commercial course, her ability making it possible for her to graduate this year. She is not coming back next year but we all wish Reta health and every success in the work she is going to take up. She intends to go to Wellesley Hospital to train for a nurse. Favourite Expression — Oh lord! Hobby — Appearing from Betty Brad- ley ' s room at fourth. Tfertta JHay 3aws Where there s a will there ' s a way. Positively the first appearance of Verna Jones in America at Merlin, Ontario, in !903 A.D. Of an early age she entered Public School and sailed smoothly through with flying colours. She then embarked on her High School work in London. Having successfully steer- ed her way through the turmoil of mathe- matics, she decided on a musical career. Since Verna was living in Oshawa she chose O.L.C. as her residence. She has worked her way from elementary piano to AT. CM. Besides her music, Verna has been very artistic with her brush and has always been willing to help wherever her talents are needed. This year, until February, Verna was in residence with us again, but the call of home was too great. And now, but once a week we see Verna in the halls of Trafal- gar. We wish you all kinds of luck, Verna, in whatever you undertake to do. Hobby — Painting good-looking men. Favorite Expression — Gee! it was funny.
