MILDRED WARREH With gentle yet prevailing force Intent upon her destined course. 1 ' Mildred first greeted the light of day on October 18, 1912, her birthplace being Scott, Saskatchewan. At a very young age Mildred toddled off to school in Wilkie, Saskatchewan, to re- ceive the education she brought along with her to O.L.C. in ' 28. Last year, having mastered and success- fully passed twelve matriculation subjects, she decided to take ten Senior subjects this year. Being very ambitious she added to this long list A.T.C.M. piano work and vocal. Next year Mildred is going to univer- sity to take Commercial Law. O. L. C. will miss her bright way next year, but we wish her a very happy and successful university career. We also hope that although Saskatchewan is a long jour- ney from Whitby, that Mildred will not forget her Alma Mater and the friends she made there in the years to come, and that some day she will come back to see us. Hobby — Taking numerous subjects and being cheerful. Favourite Expression ■ — For goodness sakes. JEAH WALKER Yearning for the large excitement that the coming years would yield. Now let us become acquainted with Jean ' s interesting life, as much as the short space allotted to us will allow. Graduating from the cradle in Thorold in 1909, she gurgled away several years, making fun of the world at large, until taken in charge by a private tutor who in- structed her in the first lights of knowledge. But Jean did not enjoy privacy, and was then thrust into the cruel world by go- ing to public school and later to the Thor- old High. In September, 1927, Jean was discovered to the interest of all the residents of O. L. C. to be undertaking a year of Domestic Science, combined with a little fun. But either Jean enjoyed the year or the year enjoyed Jean, but nevertheless she de ' cided to again grace our portals this year and rise to the most excellent position of a dignified senior. She has done excellent work in her domestic science course and we are sure that the Grace Hospital in Detroit is going to find a very capable and entertaining pupil dietitian in Jean this fall. Best of luck always, Jean. Hobby: Tearing around. Favourite Expression: More darn fun! I Page Twenty-Six

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-

MURIEL ELSOK She has wit and song and sense, Mirth and sport and eloquence. Laughing eyes, a cheery voice, happy disposition, these are some of the enviable characteristics of Muriel. We find Muriel m a bundle of blankets in 1910, just nine ' teen years ago, in her home in St. Cathar ' ines. Here she attended Central Public School for eight years, then she moved to Toronto and became a student at Bloor Collegiate. Footsteps were made by Muriel ' s mother in which Muriel followed her to O.L.C. last fall completing her Honor Matricula- tion. She has been an active member of the Vox staff, acting in the capacity of editor of school notes. The oratorical contest in March showed us Muriel ' s oratorical ability when she re- ceived the first prize. Probably more than this, when Muriel was asked to write the Senior Class Prophesy. We wish you every success and happi- ness in your future, Muriel. Favorite Expression — Wouldn ' t it slay you? Hobby — Cutting pictures from maga- zines. ELSIE CAMPBELL Experience is the best teacher. 1 ' A little squeel and then a cry, Oh dearie me, this is none of I, and Elsie received a hearty welcome into her home in Elsdale. She attended public school and spent most of her early youth among the wilds of Muskoka. A desire for something dif- ferent led her to Toronto where she re- ceived High School education. She then roamed around for a while and enjoyed life as it came. Elsie next entered the Dominion Business College and after completing her course there they did not consider it an easy matter to part with her, so she was en- gaged as a teacher in that institution until last September when she decided she want ed a change and wended her way to O.L.C. to join the Senior Household Science Class. We understand Elsie has great ambitions and has taken a two year course in one year. In the fall she intends to resume her former duties in the Dominion Business College. Hobby — Going to Toronto Saturdays. Favorite Saying — I don ' t know. Page Twenty-Seven
