i DOROTHY GIVIHS When the burdens are heavy and the way seems long There s nothing so helpful as a cheerful song — • In Regina, Dot. first saw the peep of day in blustery March, 1913. Later she moved to Vancouver where she attended Magee High School. In September, ' 30, we find Dot. registered at O.L.C. to study Vocal and Senior Matric. She has been a great help to all of us by her dancing and singing ability, especially in the Senior stunt. Next year Dorothy intends going to the University of British Columbia to complete her education, and we wish her every success and a brilliant future. Favourite Expression — ' ' Oh dear — that! Hobby — Dancing. PEGGY HEHDERSOH She was shy, and I thought her cold It is Chambly and the year 1913 that we are indebted to for Peggy. But Peggy had a lust for travelling, and deserted Chambly for Birmingham, Alabama, where she received her first taste of education. Then she tried Montreal, but something urged her to look around — what for? she didn ' t know, but she knew it when she heard of it — and so we find Peggy enter- ing O.L.C. — six years ago. She passed her entrance and began her High School career. Peggy was president of the Soph- omore Class of ' 28. While she was a medium she won the gold medal for swim- ming. She is an enthusiastic forward on the basketball team and is good in most any sport. Peggy hopes to enter McGill next year, and is looking forward to her B.A. Peggy has travelled extensively, but in all her travels she could not have found anyone who would regret her departure as much as the many friends she has made at O.L.C. Favourite Expression — There ain ' t no justice. Hobby — Rising at 5.30. Page Tiventy-two

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

BEATRICE KERR She has her own idea of what ' s what On a very fine day in June, the tenth to be exact, Bea Kerr made her first ap- pearance. This great event occurred in Detroit, Michigan. Bea attended pubUc and High School there, and graduated with flying colours. In 1929, however, the lure of O.L.C. proved too great, and so she became a junior in the fall of that year. During this, her senior year, she has won many distinctions: Business Man- ager of the ' ' Vox and the ' ' Year Book, and secretary of the Dramatic Club. When Bea graduates, as we all know she will, she is going to tackle the business world, and we all hope that she will be as suc- cessful there as she has been in her Com- mercial Course. Hobby — Arguing. Favourite Expression — Well, Fll tell you. FLORA MacDOHALD The reason firm, the temperate will. Endurance, foresight, strength and s ill, A perfect woman, nobly planned. To warn, to comfort, and command. In Hamilton, one happy May day, eigh- teen years ago, the MacDonald ' s had a birthday party at which Flora was the guest. When school days arrived she received her public school education in Dundas and Montreal. After that, for three years she was a student in the Collegiate at Arnprior. As Flora excelled in the field of music, she came to O.L.C. to study under Mr. Atkinson. This June she has secured her A.T.C.M., both solo and teacher ' s, be- sides working on her Junior Matricula- tion. Although Flora has only been at O.L. C. for one year, she is beloved by all. As vice-president of the Honour Club and a member of the Senior Class, she has not been surpassed in loyalty and fine example, and has received one of the greatest honours at O.L.C, that of being chosen to hold the Strathcona Shield. Next year Flora hopes to teach music in her home town and complete her Sen- ior Matric. We know she will be very successful. Our good wishes go with her. Hobbies — Tennis and gardening. Favourite Expression — Oh, there ' s Miss Scott. Page Twenty-thre
