On March the 4th, 1913, a cold wind welcomed Merle ' s arrival. She attended the John Fisher Public School, Toronto, and the North Toronto Collegiate, where she ama2;ed everyone by her athletic abil- ity. In 1928 Merle entered O.L.C., mak- ing one of that snappy Medium Class. This year she was vice-president of the Junior Class, but surprised us by becom- ing a successful Senior. Merle ' s achievements in Athletics have been many. During her first year she was guard on our first basketball team. For three years she kept her place with sus- cess, and this year was presented with the O.L.C. chevron. On field day Merle came off with flying colours, breaking the broad jump record and gaining the cup for ath- letics. The following week Merle showed her ability in swimming by winning the Gold Medal. As for her future we are a little ha2,y, but Merle rather thinks she will take her arts course at Varsity and finish with two years at Margaret Eaton. Just heaps of luck, Merle. Hobby — Being a graceful butterfly. Expression — Oh, blessed bed. MART McMULLEH As virtuous as fair. The annals of O.L.C. will refer many times to the name of one, Mary McMul- len, for since she came to us from Ed- monton in 1927, Mary has filled a large place in the hfe of the school. Swim- ming, Basketball, Dramatics, have taken her attention. She has been an enthus- iastic student and occupied with many so- cial activities. We should like to pause, by the way, and chronicle some of the parts Mary has played: — a stately Portia ; Alma Ma- ter ; Jean Valjean ; and, as a climax, our charming May Queen. Mary has not as yet decided on her future plans, but we feel sure that what- ever she undertakes she will give her best and will bring honour to her Alma Mater! Favourite Expression — Oh dear! — Hobby — Teaching comp. Iff Page Twenty-four

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

BEATRICE rUILL Full of enthusiasm Always game. A broad grin greeted the world on September 25th, 1913. This appeared on the chubby face of Beatrice Yuill, ahas Bud. After residing at Bracebridge for three months, Bud moved bag and bag- gage to Sudbury where she graduated from pubHc school. For two years Bud deUghted the students of the Guelph Col- legiate with her high spirits and her chuckles. However, the bright prospects of a future at O.L.C. soon won Bud to our side, where she has remained for the past three years; and we would keep her longer only Bud has a yearning for travel. Bud ' s first year at O.L.C. was a splen- did beginning, for she was put on the second basketball team. When she re- turned the following Autumn she was elected Secretary of the Athletic Asso- ciation and honoured the first basketball team by playing forward. Her third year proved even more suc- cessful, for Bud was elected President of the Athletic Association, and she also earned the much coveted Chevron. As yet Bud is undecided concerning her future plans, but whatever they may be O.L.C. wishes her the very best of luck! Pet Saying — You nit. Hobby — W- riting letters. Page Twenty-five
