HELEN E. SILVERTHORNE Merry as the day is long. Sliver was born in Summerville, Ont., February 3rd, 1907. Her childhood days were spent at Eatonia Public School and after obtaining all the learning there pos ' sible, she decided to try Central Technical School, Toronto. She spent five busy years there, learning all there was to learn and having crushes. In between times she acquired a. good bit of knowledge as to scales and arpeggios at the Toronto Con ' servatory of Music, where she heard of O.L.C. and the melodious pianos it possess ' ed and decided to give them a try. So in September 1926, Sliver entered our great hall of learning with A.T.C.M. as her goal. Sliver has held several very respon- sible offices this year. She was first vice- president and later president of the Hon- our Club, and has also held two secretarial offices, one in the senior class and one in the athletic association. She was elected May Queen this year and we may congrat- ulate ourselves on our good choice. Sliver is planning to study music in Toronto next winter but she is going to England this summer and — well there is quite an at- traction there and you never can tell — Favourite Saying — You know what I mean. Hobby — Having crushes and forgetting things. HELEN HOBBS A smile will go a long, long way. A deep hush prevailed in marble halls and in the distance was heard the low murmur of voices. The clock above the large main stair-case struck one ' two-three and all was well for Helen had success- fully made her presence known in this turbulent world of ours. All this occurred on April 26, 1909, and ever since pencil and pen have dogged her footsteps through her school days which began near her home town, London, and from there Ridgetown High School from which she came to O.L.C. in the fall of 1927. Helen doesn ' t make a fuss but she is always there and the sparkle in her blue eyes, together with the dimple in her chin, are expressive of the merriment within. This year she is graduating in honour matriculation and intends entering West- ern University next year where we wish her every success in her chosen career. Favourite Expression — See! Hobby — Horses.

MARY ELIZABETH SINCLAIR Who mixes reason with pleasure, Wisdom ivith mirth, and sport withal. Tommy laughed her way into the world on January 23, 1910. Toronto was the scene of this great event. She received her early education in no less than three different cities; first in Buf- falo, then in New York and finally in Toronto, where she passed her entrance from Huron Street public school. From here Tommy went to Oakwood Colle- giate Institute where she took her first two years of high school after which she came to O.L.C. and entered the ranks of the third year matriculation class. Since she has had a very brilliant career. In her third year she took the prize presented for proficiency in mathematics and not being content with this she walked away with the award for highest standing in fourth form. Tommy held the office of junior pres- ident in a very creditable manner and she is this year the highly esteemed president of the senior class. We wish for Tommy the best of luck in whatever she may undertake in the fut- ure. Idiosyncrasy — An irresistible smile. Favourite Expression — Kids! KATHERINE A. ' Eat, drink MARTIN for tomorrow and he merry, we diet. On a hot sultry day in July, 1908, Kay made her first appearance in Hamilton. Her early knowledge was gained at Stin- son Street school where she received her entrance, from here she moved her books to Hamilton Collegiate where she obtained her matriculation. The next (big) event of Kay ' s life was when in September, 1926, she boarded the train for Whitby and O.L.C. to launch upon the mysteries of the Household Science course. She has very capably filled the position of vice-president of the senior class and has also found time to be a very active member of the Dramatic class. As far as we know Kay intends to complete her pupil dietitian course in Grace Hospital, Detroit, this year, and after that — well? Kay ' s many friends wish her the best of luck and happiness in all her future under- takings. Favourite Expression — The Hamilton Tigers. Hobby — Laughing at her own jokes.

BETTY WOOD RUTH SPALL J 1 She looks before and after; and pines for what is not. Betty ' s first appearance was at midnight on February 13, 1910, just a little too soon to be a valentine. She was born in Toron- to and having a liking for it has stayed there ever since, receiving her public school education at Brown school and Havergal. She then sought wider know- ledge at Davenport High School for two years and got her junior matric at Bloor Collegiate. Then she decided to follow the rest of the Wood ' s and complete her high school course at O.L.C. So in the fall of 1927 she became one of our com- petent seniors. She is working hard on her Honour Matriculation and takes a part in all the school activities. She was appointed the Athletic Business Manager and also made a good forward on the basket ball team. After having graduated from O.L.C. in June she hopes to take up a two-year course at Varsity next fall. We hope Betty realizes that not only play but hard work gets a diploma and wish her the best of luck in the future. Hobby — Kicking. Favourite Expression — Holy doodle! 7 cannot remain idle, Time means everything. Twas on a bright morning on Novem- ber 4th, 1909, that a giggle was heard. Ruth had arrived at her birth place, the bustling metropolis of Whitby, Ontario. As a child Ruth showed a decided ten- dency toward learning which developed rapidly as she grew older. Part of her early school life was spent in a little red school house of Whitby. She passed her entrance examinations at Ontario Ladies 1 College and next year found her at North Toronto Collegiate, where she was a shin- ing light. This year she has wended her way back to Whitby and is attending O.L.C. as a day student entering fully into the life of the school as a fifth former. Ruth ' s work this year has been excellent in spite of her stiff necks! But it isn ' t all studies that occupy our Ruth ' s mind. You ought to see her drive a car! And we find she has decided lean- ing towards dancing in which art she is quite proficient. Ruth expects to enter Varsity next fall for a scholarship. May luck be with her. Favourite Expression — Oh, dear me. Hobby — Studying.
