Eternity lies before vs. why hurry! ' Yvonne comes to us from the sunny south. We first hear of her in Nassau, Ba- hamas, where she entered upon the stage of life in May, 1908. There she learned to walk and talk but when still quite young she decided that it was too warm for her, and moved to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, where she lived for two years. But the south called her again and there her school days began. She attended St. Hilda ' s Col- lege until she came to Toronto in 1925. There she completed her Junior Matricula- tion at Parkdale Collegiate Institute. September, 1926, saw her strolling down to O.L.C. with the idea of taking a secre- tarial course and becoming one of our worthy Seniors, both of which she has car- ried out successfully. In the autumn Yvonne expects to return to Nassau and become a lady of leisure. With her she takes the best wishes of all her friends at O.L.C. Hobby — Taking her time. Favourite Expression — Oh! Fm awfully sorry. Mtan iSay — But civilized man cannot live without cooks. Past — Jean ' s introduction to civilisation occurred in 1905 at Toronto. That city soon proved too dull however for this bright youngster and she sought excitement in Windsor. She toddled through kindergar- ten, walked cautiously into public school, gained assurance in each successive grade and marched bravely into high school. By the time she had her matric she had heard and read enough about O.L.C. to know it was undoubtedly the place for her and so she was entered on the books as a Junior Domestic last year. Present — This year Jean has returned to take her Senior year. She has kept up her reputation as a prize pupil and has taken a keen interest in sports — particularly bas- ket ball in which she as side centre has helped our first team to victory many times. She is a competent business manager for the Vox and can put up many a good ar- gument to prospective advertisers. Then who but Jean doles out our meagre allot- ment of S. C. M. candy? Future — We hear that Jean expects to take her dietitian ' s course after she leaves us this year but we wonder if she ever will because — well — she wears a frat pin you know! Favorite Expression — Hot Diggity! Hobby — Worrying about her music les- son. Page Twenty-Seven

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. Hrra f ollork I cannot remain idle. Time means every- thing. Vera first saw light in Essex on the twenty-seventh of July, nineteen hundred and eight. There she spent her early childhood days and when she was old enough she trotted off each day to Essex Public School. After passing her entrance she entered the High School where she received her Junior Matriculation and part of her Honour Matric. In the fall of nineteen hundred and twenty-six Vera wended her way to O. L. C. and took the two year Commercial course in one, where she made use of her talents as a student, graduating in the same this coming June. Next year Vera intends to go out and conquer the business world and it is cer- tain that she will win. Best of luck, Vera. Hobby — Talking. Favorite Expression — What a bally nuisance I I Page Twenty-Six

Mtx § temit Sfre seems to be quiet, but one never knows. Some years ago in St. Mary ' s was born a noble member of our revered V. Form, Ida Sterritt. Ida lived in her birthplace and went through Elementary School and Collegiate there until last year, when hav ing taken her Junior Matriculation she moved to her present home in Pickering. In her new surroundings she was un- certain where to continue her school work, but last fall she finally chose O.L.C. and entered as a day pupil and a member of our Senior Class of ' 27. We have all heard very complimentary reports of Ida ' s achievements this year, and are all expecting great things of her when she graduates in June. We wish her the best of success along whatever line she may follow when she leaves us. Hobby — Reading the Cosmopolitan. Favorite Expression — Silence! IKatfjmnp tam Gentle things remind me of you. Past Imperfect — Childhood spent in Tor- onto at Branksome College with a lot of fun and hard work. Past Perfect — In 1916 Kay went to Co- bourg where she ran the road to success and as a laurel was given her Junior Ma- tric. Present (also Perfect) — Graduating in Household Science, also gaining her Inter- mediate Piano and on top of all that has the honor of being S.C.M. President. Future (perfect hopes) — Going to hos- pital next year to study her dietetics course. Kay has been loved by all her school- mates and we are sure she will have a most successful future. Hobby — If we did not see Kay carrying water up and down main hall so much we would say her hobby was senior dietetics but her actions tell on her. Favourite Expression — Honestly. Page Twenty-Eight
