La In, , JEAN DIAMOND S ie wfto laughs last laughs best, Jean began her career in Warkworth on August 25th, 1908, the cause of much celebration in the Diamond household. As reading, writing and arithmetic are necessary for a career, Jean faithfully at- tended Warkworth Public School and lat- er, after passing her entrance, she entered into the Warkworth Collegiate Institute, where she laughed her way through her two hardest subjects, chemistry and phy- sics. Then completing her High School course Jean wended her way to O.L.C. in the fall of 1926 with the idea of taking a household science course then beginning as a member of the junior class. This year Jean returned with the in- tention of finishing her course and becom- ing a dignified senior, both of which ideas she has carried out successfully. Next year Jean hopes to enter Oshawa Hospital where she will complete her work in dietetics. Best of luck, Jean. Favourite Expression — Oh! Ginger, stop! Hobby — Travelling the well worn path between 41 Upper Frances and 9 Main. DOROTHY PATTON A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the best of men. Dot arrived in Barrie with much eclat in 1908. But to her voracious appetite for worlds to conquer, Barrie was only the cocktail. North Bay looked like a pretty good fish course so she went to the colle- giate there to sample it. However, she still looked forward to the piece de resistance which was known as Whitby a la O.L.C. which she is now inspecting with the idea of discovering the best way to cook it. The desert is as yet still baking up in Toronto Western Hospital but will no doubt be consumed in time. When this much to be desired end is attained she will be a full-fledged dietitian. And as for the nuts — we hope she will fulfill the promise shown as president of the Senior Domestic Class of ' 28 by be- coming the head dietitian of Buckingham Palace. Hobby — Pushing thumb tacks. Favourite Saying — Don ' t go, Cleo.

FAITH BASSETT Wilful, wistful, solemn, sad. Roguish, spicy, oftener glad. So this is Faith: appearing Feb. 3rd, 1907, and doing her best ever since — and though she says it isn ' t much, we must say — she ' s not so slow. She graced Victoria Public School with her attendance in her early years, and later graduated to Collegiate, where, after several years of study, enjoyment, or what have you, she decided to leave the big metropolis of Collingwood and revel in the bright lights of Toronto. While in Toronto three years, she studied at the Conservatory of Music. Surprises will happen. She decided to go back to her poor, neglected home town and teach, but after several months, longed for ex- citement again, so turned her eyes (and what eyes!) towards O.L.C.. Here she has done splendid work in art and music, winning the gold medal for AT. CM. piano. Faith has done her bit for school en- tertainment, especially playing Mississippi Mud. Whichever talent Faith pursues, we wish her every success. Hobby — General nuisance. Favorite expression — How dull! MARION E. HENDERSON Music hath charms. Our dear Mac first saw light of day in the mid Western town of Grayson, Saskatchewan. Before she was old enough to enter school she made an advancement to Miniota, Manitoba. It was there that she later gained her knowledge along academic lines. It was a strong desire for music which brought Mac to O.L.C. in 1926. Here she has made a place for herself and has given much pleasure at O.L.C. musical events by the addition of her out ' standing contralto voice. During her first year she passed her Intermediate Piano and Junior Theory ex- aminations with honours. Her next year was devoted to the accomplishment of first year A.T.C.M., piano work ■ and of Intermediate vocal for which she received the prize. This year the seniors are proud to have Marion in their midst. She is graduating this June with the degree of A.T.C.M. for both piano and vocal and received the medal for the latter. Mac has been so successful in all her undertakings at O.L.C. that we feel sure her good fortune will continue and wish her the best of luck. Favourite Expression — Listen, my dear. Hobby — Avoiding Miss Scott. 1-

I I EVELYN McKAGUE Those who give sunshine to the hearts of others cannot keep it from themselves. The population of Bexley was greatly in- creased in a very small way by the appear- ance of Evelyn on the 30th of August, 190 . Here her sunny smile wended its way into the hearts of the inhabitants of that town. She attended Bexley Public School and Continuation School where she gained her entrance and part of her matriculation. Tiring of the quest for further, knowledge and eager to become a lady of leisure she remained at home for some time. But Bexley had no thrills for this indust- rious young lady and seeking new lands to conquer she came to O.L.C. in 26 to join the ranks of the juniors. Here she has finally run to earth the elusive vitam- ins and calories of the Household Science Course. We find Evelyn always ready to lend a helping hand and are confident that it is through her cooking ability that the var- ious teas throughout the year have met with the best of success. She has truly proven an older sister to the younger girls of the school. Favourite Expression — My hat! Hobby — Cleaning up. MARJORIE THOMSON She can knit with cunning wit And dress the homely dishes. Marjorie has the honour of being the only twin in the graduating class. She and her brother were initiated into the rites of living in June, 1908, in Toronto. They liked that city so well that they have remained there ever since. Marjorie began her educational career by starting to Runnymede Public School when she was only seven. Three years later she joined her twin at Brown School. After obtaining her entrance she joined the ranks of Technical High School. She was a very keen Guide and led a pack of Brownies. For two years she took High School work then branched off into the dietitic course. She graduated from Tech- nical in ' 27. Not satisfied with finishing her course she decided to try boarding school life. O.L.C. enrolled this important person- age as a member of the senior dietitic course, also as a teacher of junior cooking in September, 1927. Marjorie is thinking of training next year in Wellesley Hospital. We wish you luck as a nurse, Marj. Hobby — Writing Indian Stories. Favourite Expression — Oh gee! it was funny.
