G RADU ATI N G CLASS 1 Being good is an awful lonesome job. Elementary — Started boldly on the high- way to knowledge. Freshman — Miss Murchie — also showing lots of pep in the class room. Sophomore — Still absorbing erudition. Junior — Her good behaviour continues to prevail?? Senior — We find her deporting herself with grave dignity she has successfully filled the offices of Athletic Secretary and Vice- President of the Commercial class. Rhoda ' s ambition is to become a strong-minded business woman, hence she graduates in the secretarial course. She intends to en- rol at the Toronto Conservatory of Music next year, where she will complete her A. T. C. M. Aversion — Second helpings. Idiosyncrasy — Travelling the well worn path between 7 Main and 17 Lower Fran- ces at all hours. Favourite Expression — Frances — at. 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

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 :mniB[wnn y iW | nw» ! iWBWl 1 .w : — -1 It jJBfc 1 a (gratia Bfndg? Full of enthusiasm, Always game. Bunny first started playing the game at St. John ' s, Newfoundland, August 28th, 1907, but at the age of nine, desiring a larger field, she moved to Toronto. Soon deciding that a change would be as good as a rest, she came to Trafalgar Castle as a Juni or in 1923. Since then she has filled a large place in the school life of O.L.C. Her name has been on the shield, and, as Athletic President for two years her unfailing en- thusiasm has made Athletics mean a great deal to us all. She has held many offices, as, Vice- President of the Okticlos, taking over the Presidency, a member of the Honour Club Executive, Vox Staff and S. C. M. Com- mittee. She graduates this year in Honour Ma- triculation. She has spent some time on her music, taking her Intermediate and now making a success of AT. CM. Bunny has won her way into every heart and leaves a place that will be very hard to fill. Favourite Expression — Oh fer my sake. Hobby — Trying to reduce. The quality went in before the name went on. Twas a cold December day in 1906 when K. J. first greeted this planet with a lusty shout. Ever since she has held a prominent place in this jolly old world of ours. She spent her childhood at Brown Public School in Toronto and later attend- ed Davenport Collegiate. Four years ago K. J. decided to leave Toronto and make O. L. C. her home for at least a year. She heard, year after year, that nameless voice we all hear, calling her back and so she remained at O.L.C. for four years. K. J. has climbed rung by rung through High School days to her Senior Matric and graduates with the Sen- iors of ' 26 in the M. E. L. course. She has played a large part in the school activities and had the honour of being S. C. M. President and Senior Representative for the Vox . Both offices she has filled admirably. We all wish you every good fortune, K. J- Hobby — Stamping her foot. Favourite Expression — Oh! mm Page Twenly-Siw
