MARGARET McLEOD I Grace in women is the secret chain — The spell that binds forever. We hear the great event took place in Gait, Ontario, on January 13, 1910. Is that right, Marg.? If so, let us continue! Gait did not have the honor of Marg ' s presence for long as the bright lights of Hamilton held a greater attraction for her. It was here she attended public school, and wishing to continue her career attended Hamilton Central Collegiate. Margaret at- tained her matric there, although we do not believe it was all work and no piay. However, our conscientious Marg., not satisfied with a matriculate standing, ven- tured to O.L.C. and in ' 28 we find her enrolled as a member of our most noble senior class, and much worthy of her stand- ing. Marg. has held the honor of Business Manager of the Vox, and has filled her position very well. Along with this she is taking a two year commercial course in one. Next year she has high hopes of becom- ing somebody ' s secretary, we doubt whether she will keep up her secretarial work for long, matrimony will probably claim her. Favourite Saying - - No but — urn — Do you see what I mean? Hobby — Wearing brown. S GWEN ]ORT As full of spirit as the month of May. On a cold blustering night, January 30, 1912, Gwen first started making a noise. People marvelled at her promising athletic figure even at such an early age. She walk- ed at seven months and talked long before that. Gwen obtained her primary education at St. Catharines Memorial Public School and her secondary education at St. Catharines Collegiate Institute. In 1926, Gwen came to O.L.C. entering the Sophomore Class. In September 1927, she became a H. Sc. follower and now she is graduating from that department. Gwen has played in the First Basket-ball team for two successive years, and is a member of this year ' s Athletic executive. Gwen is a clean sport both in her basket- ball and in her association with those a- round her. She has naturally a lovable dis- position which despite all kinds of weather, makes her see the sunny side of everything. She has played hard for O.L.C. and we take this opportunity of thanking her and wishing her the very best not only in the field of Athletics but for her future under- taking. Hobby — Basketball. Favourite Expression — Word of honour. Page Twenty-Four

lit HELEN BUELL A smile for all, a welcome glad, A jovial coaxing way she had. Twas on a bright crisp morning in De- cember, 1910, just a few days before Xmas, that Babe made her advent into the busy metropolis of Stevensville Public and Con ' tinuation School. Having by now learned all her home town could offer, she entered Ridgeway Collegiate, where she completed her Junior Matric. Not content with this she decided to try boarding school, and so, with many others, entered O.L.C. in 1928, where she has gained for herself a host of new friends and incidentally where she hopes to get her Senior Matric. Babes 1 time, however, is not wholly taken up with her academic work. Dram ' atics and Public Speaking occupy much of her time, and judging from her several readings throughout the year, we know that she has achieved much success in this art. And now — next year, Babe is planning on going to Varsity, and there to enter Arts. Best o 1 luck. Babe! Favourite Expression — B ' gad? Hobby — Planning for the next week-end. DOROTHY BOTTOM Though her name is Bottom, She is always on the top. In 1911 under the clear skies of sunny Alberta, in the city of Edmonton, Dorothy first entered the oratorical world. Here she received her early education and completed her Junior Matriculation in June 1928. The same year our friend decided to at- tend boarding school and in September we find her at OL..C. Dorothy immediately entered into the many phases of college life, taking part in its various activities. We see her playing forward in our base- ball team, thus through her clever playing and dextrous shooting many baskets fall to her credit. Dot is also a brilliant orator and is quite capable of taking her place in this vast world. This year she has the honor of giv- ing the Valedictory for the year 1929. After graduation she is returning to Ed- monton and is planning to enter the Un- iversity of Alberta. We hope at some fu- ture date, Dorothy will come east and call upon her friends in Whitby. Hobby — Brushing her hair. Favorite Saying — Holy Smoke. Page Twenty-Three

RUTH ELIZABETH DIXOK ' ' Genius is the ability to avoid wor . On October 19, 1912, there was great rejoicing in the Dixon family for none other had arrived and was making her presence felt than Betty. After passing through the stages of very young childhood, she was sent to King George Public School to learn reading and writing. She was an apt pupil, and at the age of eleven, her entrance certificate un- der her arm, she wended her way to Walk- erville Collegiate. Spending two years there she decided to find out for herself if all the stories of boarding school life were true, and Sept., 1 26, found her a happy medium at O.L.C. Last year she completed her matricula- tion, and this year has been a dignified senior. Betty has not yet decided on her future career, but it is probable that she will spend a year at home before attend- ing Varsity. Best of luck, Betty, and re- member we are proud of the youngest sen- ior in the class of ' 29. Hobby — Cracking a certain feeble joke. Favourite Expression — Wouldn ' t you know it?. MARY BLOW With lots of pep, a right game sport, Of goal she ' ll ne ' er fall short. Mary ' s first lusty wails were heard in Whitby, on July 23, 1 9 1 1 . She led a very tomboyish career through public school, and in due time entered Whitby High School. During her five years there Mary was Captain of the Senior Basketball team for three years, held the Girls 1 Senior Champ- ionship for two years, and in her grad- uating year was the winner of the Nelson Shield. In the fall of 1928 Mary came to O.L. C. determined to succeed in the two years in one which the commercial department offers to ambitious students. The result is obvious. Mary hopes, some day to attend univer- sity, but until that time she Will be some- body ' s very efficient private secretary. Favourite Expression — Heavens! Hobby — Singing. Page Twenty-
