In 1906 the stork visited Innisville, Al- berta, and dropped little Irene on the door- step of her pleased parents. Irene liked the west and so she resided there for a number of years, but later she decided to explore the east and moved to Ingersoll, Ontario, where for a year she attended Ingersoll Collegiate. The fall of 1923 found her entering the portals of O.L.C. Here she helped to swell the numbers of the Sophomore class for a year, but found she could not resist the tempting aromas that issued from the Household Science kitchen, and so Ikey started the Domestic Science course the next year. She has made a great success of it and is this year president of the Domestic Class. Everybody agrees that Ikey is just the best kid ever and so we all wish her suc- cess in whatever she intends to do. Favourite Expression — Gee Whiz. Hobby — Growing UP. July 16, 1906, was the first birthday of Mabel Eileen Elliot. Born in South Dur- ham, Quebec, she skipped through Public School, sailed into High School, and fin- ished with honours at Stanstead. She tasted the joys of home life for one short year, then decided to pursue the phantom of music at O.L.C. By the end of her first year she had completed both Inter- mediate and part A.T.C.M. She hesi- tated for a moment about taking her A.T.C.M. last June, and resolved that it might be a good idea to return in Sep- tember and try her A.T. in February. Lo and behold! When she did come back she immediately perceived that Senior piano was not enough. She would grad- uate in Household Science. There you have her! So in June Mabel carried off two diplomas, one in Household Science and one in A.T.C.M. piano. Such ver- satility! Hobby — Sh! — it ' s a secret! Favourite Expression — Oh, really — Page Twenty-Four.

GRADUATING CLASS mm Anbvtw (Eamrron A truer friend were hard to find. Audrey embarked on the sea of life in the year 1906 in the town of Beachburg. She travelled from there to Kippewa and then to New Liskeard seeking some place suitable to try her luck in learning the three Rs. Espanola then claimed her and here she spent three years in High School besides passing her Junior piano examina- tion. In 1923 Audrey came to O.L.C. with high ambitions. She spent a successful year and obtained her Intermediate piano exam. Last year she took A.T.C.M. piano with vocal as a diversion. This year finds her graduating in A.T.C.M. piano and she also obtained her Intermediate vocal. Audrey has very ably filled the position of Honour Club President this year. Good luck to you, Audrey.

Nineteen years ago Ann put Huntsville on the map by making it her birthplace. In spite of the well-known saying Ignorance is bliss Ann decided to take a chance and obtain a little knowledge. She attended the Huntsville Public School where she receiv- ed her entrance and then entered the local High School where she obtained her Junior Matric. In 1924 Ann came to O. L. C. to take the Household Science Course. In her spare periods she has done splendid work on her intermediate piano. The two years that Ann has spent at O.L.C. have been most successful. She is leaving us to take a dietetics course at Calydor Hospital, and later intends to become a nurse. Here ' s the best o ' luck to you, Ann, in whatever you may under- take. Hobby — Saying what she thinks. Favourite Expression — Got any water, kids? ( ' din Twenty-Th » i

Distant until you now her for awhile, Friend to the last, who greets you with a smile. Under the stormy January skies of 1904 not far from the town of Uxbndge Mary wriggled her little pink toes for the very first time and made the astonishing discov- ery of how it felt to be alive. Five or six years later this same Mary wended her way schoolward in search of knowledge. She found it in the little vill- age school house which claimed her as one of its most promising pupils until she passed her entrance. Instead of going on to High School she made an intensive study of music at home. In the fall of 1925 Mary took up her residence at O.L.C. as a member of the Senior Class of ' 26. She has reached the goal of her ambition and is graduating in A. T. C. M. In her short year here Mary has made many friends and we all wish her the greatest success in the years to follow. Hobby — Tatting. Favourite Expression — Shoot! I don ' t want to do that! i ' tujc Twenty-Fivi
