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.

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.

GLADYS TUCKER Still waters run deep. Gladys made her initial appearance in the world one sunny spring day in May, 1908 at Beaverton, Ont., and soon started in quest for knowledge which has lasted ever since. She attended a succession of schools during the following years, too many indeed to recount. It will suffice to say that in the fall of 1926 she made her appearance at O.L.C., where she became a busy member of the junior class, taking Domestic 11 in her spare time. Fall of 1927 found her back at O.L.C. to be a senior and as we found out later to be president of the Student Christian Movement in the school and I think we can congratulate ' ourselves on our splendid taste in choosing Gladys to superintend the religious side of our school life. She was also chosen as a counsellor of the May Queen. Next year she hopes to go to Varsity for the purpose of learning more about Household Science and we are all perfectly certain of her success. Favourite Expression — Fm so tired. Hobby — Getting up at third. EMMA VICK Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned ivith salt. To introduce Emma we must go back to Orillia in 1905 where one lovely June day a new member was welcomed to the Vick household. Emma, ambition guiding her, attended public and high school and successfully brought her academic work to a close with matriculation. Then, with many others, she entered O.L.C. in September 1926. She enrolled as a junior household science student and this year Emma graduated from that course with honours. Last year Emma proved an efficient Vice-President of the Chromatic Club. This year she has held the enviable posi- tion of Keeper of the Keys 11 which guard the S.C.M. candy from those who wish to help the heathen Chinee 11 by buying chocolate bars. While with us Emma has formed many friendships and we hate to lose her, but we hear she is entering the Sick Children ' s Hospital, Toronto, in the fall, to continue her dietetic studies and we wish her the best of luck.
