MARGARET AITKEHS 1 would he a soldier And a captain too — On May 3rd, 1910, a little dark, curly- headed girl first put in her appearance in Boissevain, Manitoba, this being none oth- er than Marg. Aitkens. Marg. attended Public and High School before the lure of boarding school life caught her. Then in ' 28 she entered O.L.C. in the House- hold Science Department. Owing to ill- health Marg. was unable to complete her year, but not discouraged by her misfor- tune she came back in ' 29 and completed her Junior Year. This year finds Marg. our only graduate in Household Science. We all feel very indebted to her for the great help she has been this year in pre- paring the refreshments for basketball games, for the Athletic Tea Dance and other similar occasions. Marg. had the distinction of being Honour Club Presi- dent the latter half of the year. She also was president of the Household Science Class. Next year Marg. intends to take a pu- pil dietitian course at St. Michael ' s Hos- pital, Toronto. Favourite Pastime — Going down town with C. L. Favourite saying — - This side of the North Pole. AGHES BEKSOH To now her better is to love her more. On an icy day in February, 1910, Ben- ny graced Fredericton, N.B., with her smile and happy countenance. But Fred- ericton was not destined to keep her long for she went in rapid succession to Prince Rupert, Vancouver, Victoria, Chatham, Midland, and finally Cornwall, her pres- ent home. She evidently beHeves in the old saying that variety is the spice of life. After completing her Junior Matric. in Midland, she spent last year quietly at home, but this year she decided to join the ranks of the Senior Commercial Class at O.L.C, and we feel sure that she has had a very successful year. Besides being an enthusiastic member of our Dramatic Club, which plays a very important role in our College life, she is President of the Commercial Class. We are not sure what the plans for her future are, but we wish Benny the best of luck and success. Favourite Expression — O, the great gawk! Hobby — Trying to get her fifty words a minute in typing.

MAR]0RIE FErrERLT ' Where er she met a stranger There she left a friend. Cornwall was made a brighter place to live in when ' ' Marge iirst smiled on the world on a sunny August morning in 1913. At seven she trotted off to Corn- wall Pubhc School. Obtaining her En- trance there, she walked sedately over to Cornwall Collegiate. There she spent much of her time writing stories for the High School maga2,ine. Her junior ma- tric. was the next step up the ladder to fame. Hearing about O.L.C. she could not resist the temptation to spend a year with us. Here she won instant popularity, iirst being elected Treasurer of the Senior Class and then editor-in-chief of the Year Book. Having obtained her Senior Matricula- tion, Marge, leaves us this year to go to Queen ' s University, where we know she will make as great a success of her car- eer as of her previous educational life. — Here ' s to you. Marge. Hobby — Practising on the organ. Favourite Expression — Have you heard my new joke about the steam roller? HAHA FUKUDA She clings and clings li e ivy round our hearts. Far, far away in Japan in cherry blos- som time a little girl was born in sight of Mt. Fuji. This was no other than our Hana. Her first venture was to the mis ' sion school where she was so successful that she obtained a scholarship which en- abled her to come to O.L.C. Her activ- ities here have been chiefly in music, achieving this year her A.T.C.M. This Fall Hana was one of our repre- sentatives at Elgin House, and was elected vice-president of the S.C.M. She has also been an illustrious member of the Senior executive, the secretary no less. Hana is one you can always depend on to smile no matter what happens, her happy disposition makes her loved among her classmates. Next year Hana is returning to take a post-graduate course in music. It cer- tainly will be nice to have her with us another year before she goes back to her home across the sea. Favourite saying — Oh lovely, lovely! Favourite occupation — Sneering three times every morning. Page Nineteen

ii DORA FUHHELL Truly a worthy friend. ' ' The Funnell family stayed home from church one Sunday morning in May, 1911, to say how ' do ' you ' do to its new addition. The said addition acknowledged the court ' esy in a lusty voice. Dora meandered through a year of kindergarten and eight years of public school. Then for three years she provided amusement and var ' iety to the life of the pupils at the Lon- don Technical and Commercial High School. For two years her mother tried to convince her that a Ladies ' College was what she needed. So in September, 1930, Dora stepped inside our gates. At first Dora was very quiet, but on the night of initiation we found she was full of fun and life. We are sorry to lose Dora because she has taken a real place in our hearts by her whimsical remarks and sunny disposition. Favourite Saying — Eat, drink and be merry for to-morrow we diet. Hobby — Bringing home stray dogs. RUTH GILMOUR Laugh, and the world laughs with you. On the 3rd of December, 1913, in the town of Cranbrook, B.C., a strange gur- gle was heard. This was discovered to be Ruth making her first feeble attempts to laugh. After a short stay in Cranbrook Ruth went to Victoria for a little while, but not satisfied with the West she thought she would try the east. Millertown, New- foundland, harbored her chuckles for a few years, and then Ruth moved to Grand Falls, Nfld., where she began her school days. In 1926 she transferred the scene of her activities to Quebec City. High School claimed her attention there for a few years, and finally she arrived at O. L.C. in the fall of 1929. She has made O.L.C. her home for two years and is finishing her Senior Matric- ulation this year with a wonderful stand- ing. Ruth is entering McGill this fall, and we wish her the best of luck in all she undertakes. Favourite Expression — Laugh, I almost died! Hobby — Going to London. 1 II ii j Ii i Page Twenty-one
