Find out the weaning of her mind, who • can. It was in Fletcher, Ontario, in 1909, that Dot first gave away to her feelings. How- ever the neighbors complained so in a very few months we hear the same familiar sound emerging from Essex, Ontario. It was not many years before the Near family became tired of Dot ' s questions and so each day they sent her off to Essex Pub- lic School. Now! Dot has no questions to ask. For how could she have, when she has a com- plete Junior Matriculation and Secretarial Course to her credit? Dot came to us last fall to prove the im- possible by taking a two year Commercial Course in one year and with the best of results. Next year some lucky firm will have a secretary by the name of Miss D. Near. We certainly envy it. Favorite Expression — We have yet to hear it. Hobby — Just one more speed test. She has her own idea of what ' s what. Kay ' s advent into Toronto in 1910 was accompanied by a lusty shout, which, being translated from infantile lingo, means Fm here to stay! Having a desire for knowl- edge Kay started on her road to learning in the kindergarten of Bishop Strachan School. Later she attended Brown Public School. But B.S.S. called Kay back and she stayed there until she had completed her second year in High School. Christmas of 1925 saw her at O.L.C. where she became a Jun- ior in the Household Science course. This year, as a Senior, she was the very compet- ent President of the Domestic Class. Kay takes an active part in all sports, especially basketball and hockey, playing a prominent part on both teams for two years. This year she hopes to complete her pupil dietitian course and we wish Kay best o luck in the future. Hobby — Going to Toronto. Favourite Expression — That ' s the nuts!

1 A, maiden gay and altogether charming. Elva is a real westerner. Her arrival in Brandon, Manitoba, on a cold January day, 1907, raised the temperature a great deal. For how could a city be cold with such a dear little pink bundle in its midst? Elva sailed through public school in Arrow River and content with her present sur- roundings she attended the Collegiate there obtaining her matriculation with honours. With this accomplishment Elva returned to her native city to continue her studies at Brandon College. We have decided that this was a farewell visit, for it was the next year that Elva arrived at O.L.C., enrolling as a Junior on the 10th of January, 1926. But Elva was no longer an Academic Student. She had chosen music as her major course. At the close of the year Elva was elected Honour Club President for 1926 ' 27 by a unanimous vote and we can well congratulate ourselves on our splendid choice. This year Elva is graduating in A.T.C.M. and although she has not openly expressed her plans for the future we wish her the best of success in whatever work she may choose. On May Day Elva was chosen as Queen with a large majority and we believe that there was never a more ideal one. Hobby — Theory ! Favorite Expression — Let ' s play pig! L From this little spark may burst a mighty flame. s Under the stormy January skies in the year 1911, a new resident was announced in the city of Fort William. It was no other that the remarkable personage of Miss Glenn Miller. Ambition was her guardian angel and net content with her education at Fort Wil- liam primary school, Glenn induced her family to settle under the shadow of the Hamilton mountain. But ambition took her back to the north and Sudbury High School claimed her as one of its most prom ' ising students. Matriculation however held no thrills for the young lady and in the fall of 1925 ambition dropped her in the Commercial classroom, all ready to prepare for a business career. Last year Glenn took her place in the Junior ranks but the sen- iors claimed her this year. Glenn is O.L.C. ' s far-famed barber and has shorn many locks during her stay with us. Next year she is putting away her bar- bership and is becoming a full-fledged mem- ber of the business world. Hobby — Growing up. Favorite Expression — Oh wait a shake! 8- Page Twenty-Four

iElua Nugent Energy and determination have done wonders many a time. — Dickens. On April 13, 1905, Elva was ushered in- to the world. She lived in the village of Lakefield, Ontario, until she finished her public school and part of her high school work. Tiring of the joys of rural life, her family moved to Peterboro where Elva fin- ished her matriculation with some honour subjects. During these years she had been keeping up her piano lessons and after finishing Col- legiate she decided to continue her course in music. Two years ago she succeeded in getting part of her A.T.C.M. and entered O.L.C. this year for the purpose of complet- ing the course, and hopes to do so in June. Next year she will continue her lessons at the Toronto Conservatory of Music. Favourite Expression — True and Honest Jeanne!! Favourite Occupation — Reading the fam- ily journal.
