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.

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.

PHILYS BAKER Better late than never. On a frosty morning in January, 1908, a lusty shout rent the stillness of the Sab ' bath and Philys was first heard expressing her own side of things. Phil acquired her early knowledge at Balmy Beach school, Next she honoured Williamson Road School with her presence and for two years continued to try her teachers. Malvern was the next stopping point and here Philys received her early high school training at the same time filling many a poor instructors heart with anxiety. After two and a half years there she decided in 1924 to see what O. L. C. might have in store for her. She experimented with matriculation for two years but not finding this to her liking entered the Household Science Department as a junior. Evident- ly the pies and cakes were good because Philys not only completed her junior year but returned this year to grace the ranks of the seniors. Besides being competent domestic, she has also demonstrated her genius with the brush. We wish her every success and we know that she will help some lucky man to laugh and grow fat. Favourite Expression — There you are, you little devil. Hobby — Singing And how! JEANETTE McCOMB My life is a brief, brief thing I am here for a little space; But while I stay, 1 would like if I may To brighten and better the place. Jimmie first pattered into this dreary world on September 4th, 1907 and has been pattering around ever since. She attended one private school after another in St. Catharines and then Mem- orial Public School. But Jimmie is of a very stirring nature and we next find her pattering towards St. Catharines Collegiate Institute and Vocational School every day. Here after four long years of hard work she obtained part of her junior matric- ulation. In 26 she found her way to O.L.C., where she continued her matriculation and studied expression. But matriculation held no thrills for this young lady and so this year finds her taking the two year House- hold Science Course in one year. We believe that she intends journeying southward to the Waltham Hospital, near Boston, in September. She is aiming to become a qualified dietitian and we wis h her the best of success. Favourite Expression — That ' s quite un- called for. Hobby — Going to Lower Frances 7.
