GRADUATING CLASS When the head aches with thin ing Tis time to play the fool. Florence, better known to us as George , hails from Hamilton. She started her career at Kingsthorpe but later entered public school. At the Hamilton Collegiate where she successfully passed her Junior Matriculation she was the pride and joy of all her teachers. Still seeking knowledge she packed her trunk and came to O. L. C. The fall of 1925 found her registered as a Senior, George believes in hard work for together with her M.E.L. course she has been work- ing on her A.T.C.M. piano. George is active on the Okticlos executive, compet ' ently filling the office of secretary. Dame Rumour has it that she is go- ing to Toronto University next year and we think her course will be Household Economics. She is taking with her the best wishes of her fellow students. Hobby — Catching mice. Favourite Expression — Well, sta-nd h-y-y. that old I li e to wor , I really do But I li e a little dancing, too. One of Hamilton ' s most noted events took place on November the sixteenth, 1 907, when Violet Louise made her first appearance in the Maw household and de- cla red then and there that she would help the funny old world through its difficult- ies. Vi passed the falling down stairs stage and entered into a more dignified atmos- phere called kindergarten. From there she passed rapidly through Public School and found her way into Hamilton Collegiate to take her first two years High School. In 1924 Vi made her debut as a matricu- lant at O. L. C. using her spare time for her music. This year she returned to take her A.T.C.M. in piano with the best of success. Vi guided the Juniors of ' 25 to the dig- nified position of Seniors and this year has piloted the Okticlos through one of its most successful years. But she has not yet reached the height of her ambition and next year expects to enter Arts at Toronto University. Hobby — Collecting poetry.

f GRADUATING CLASS 1 unmeiodtous was her song It was a hearty note and strong. Twas the 26th of March, nineteen five, in the city of Hamilton, that Jeanne first began her career in this interesting world of ours. Her public school days were spent at the Adelaide Hoodless School, where she ob ' tained her entrance into the Hamilton Cen- tral Collegiate. Here Jeanne won many laurels, had a jolly good time and graduated with her Senior Matric. Knowing that no girl ' s education is com- plete without a year or two at College, she decided to pay a visit to O.L.C. Here Jeanne has taken an active part in the school life, and made lots of friends. She is treas- urer of the Athletic Association, and edi- tor of Who ' s Who on the Vox staff. Jeanne graduates this year, taking away with her a commercial diploma and also the best wishes of her friends. Adieu Jeanne! Hobby — Arguing.

She has wit and song and sense, Mirth, sport and eloquence. The first event to be chronicled in Nel- lie ' s life was a laugh. This happened on May 4th, 1904, and she has kept the habit ever since. She graduated from Public School with honours and then attended the Hamilton Collegiate to work and play her way to Matric. The thrill of boarding school life tempt- ed her, and in the fall of 1924 she entered the portals of O.L.C. She chose the Com- mercial Course and also found time for dramatics. Nellie returned this fall not only to complete her secretarial course and graduate but to hold the highly respected office of President of the Commercial Class. She has worked faithfully as Exchange Editor of our Vox and has also done ex- ceedingly well in sports. She made our second school team in basketball and play- ed a sturdy defence. We claim her as cap- tain of our hockey team on which she play- ed a prominent position. Here ' s wishing you all kinds of luck, Nellie. Hobby — Writing and receiving mail from University of Toronto.
