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!

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.

Honorary Teacher Class Teacher President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Miss Maxwell Miss Ball Rhoda Frid Jean Crosthwaite Josephine Houston Suzanne Enlow § pmor 0tunt March twenty-sixth will long remain a memorable night for many of us. For was it not the long looked forward to Senior Stunt which occupied the evening? For days in advance the Seniors could be observed dashing about the Halls with worried looks, humming bits of lilting melody until loudly and audibly hushed by some worthy member of the class. When the poster was hung the students were heard to guess that it was to be anything from Little Red Riding Hood to The Cat and the Canary. At eight-fifteen the school assembled in the concert hall, but it was certainly a charmed room! Curtains hid the stage from view, and made a dark background for a large Senior Class, ' 27 in the class colors — palest of pink, blue and mauve. These same colors streamed from all the windows and draped the pillars. Cushions and lamps replaced the rows of chairs and around the edge of the room were small white tables, each with a centre-piece of the class colors, and a small bowl of spring flowers. After the audience had been given a few minutes to regain their breath and read the attractive programme, they discovered that the stunt was to be a light comedy operetta entitled Penitent Pirates. The curtains parted a little and Rhoda Frid came out and said a few words of welcome to everyone, and presented Miss Maxwell and Miss Ball with lovely bouquets of roses, and also presented Elva Lynch, whose direction at the piano helped to make the stunt a success, with a nosegay of spring flowers. Rhoda was also given a sweet corsage of violets. The lights were dimmed, soft strains of music were heard and the stunt had started. Many startled gasps were heard from the audience as the plot swiftly re- vealed itself in the dialogue which followed, and indeed the gasps were distinctly screams of laughter as the chorus of boys burst forth, clad in immaculate white ducks and school blazers. At the conclusion of both acts there were catchy dances by members of the cast, and the audience were certainly delighted. Then the guests seated themselves at the tables, and, as if by magic, there ap- peared pirates, in the most rakish of costumes, ' tis true, bearing down upon them with delicious refreshments, which were also the favors of the affair. The ice-cream was contained in small red flower pots, and from the top there issued a sprig of Spring flowers. Coffee and cake also added their share to the enjoyment of the whole. After supper the Seniors re- assembled on the stage and sang their i;ong for the first time in public. Then followed a group of other class songs. The class pre- sented a new school pin as their gift, and everyone agreed that it was not only a most timely gift, but a beautiful and thoughtful one. After the singing of the school song, the evening drew swiftly to a close, but there was much talk, fai into the night and the days which followed. Page Thirty
