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

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

Kttta Himan Baylor 0 this learning! What a thing it is! Nina made her first snow man in Blind River in 1908. After rushing through pub- lic and high schools there, she decided to pack her trunk and try her cousin ' s dis- positions for a while. After getting thor- oughly settled in Lower Frances she sought out the Commercial Room and entered light heartedly. When next we saw her, lo and behold — gone was her c arefree look and in- stead we heard vague murmurs of budgets and contractions and rapid calculation. Yes, Nina had become one of the hard working Take it in one year or die in the attempt Commercial students. However, she managed to find time to get in on a few frolics and successfully learn- ed to do the flea-hop for the Senior Stunt, much to everybody ' s joy. On Commencement Day Nina was right there when it came time to get her diploma, and we hope she recuperates nicely after her year of toil, for she certainly will make a ray of sunshine in some office. Favorite Hobby — Sneaking away from her room-mate ' s watchful eye and buying a chocolate bar. Favorite Expression. — This typing will drive me mad, have cultivated the fine art of listening. Eighteen long years ago Mr. Stork drop- ped Louise White in the happy White household of Sussex. It was a sunny September day and as she was quite con- tent with her pleasant surroundings, she remained there, attending both Public and High School, graduating from the latter in 1926. But life is not complete without a smat- tering of boarding school life, consequent- ly in the fall of 1926 we found Louisa at Branksome Hall, Toronto, pursuing her academic work in fifth form. But before a week had elapsed a little bird had found its way to Louise ' s room and told her of that wonderful school not so very far away, known as O.L.C. So packing her trunk immediately she boarded the train for Whitby. Louise has been one of our most dili- gent fifth formers and has won a name for herself in Mathematics. Although we have not heard of Louise ' s definite plans for the future we wish her the best of luck in whatever work she may choose. Hobby-Mathematics. Favorite Expression — Oh! Viola!
