HELEH PICKINGS ' ' Fond of music, dogs and laughter Business first and pleasure after. Helen sounded her first note in the form of a cry on an October day in 1913. Since that time she has been fulfilling her repu ' tat ' on as a musician and acquired her A.T.- C.M. at the Halifax Academy of Music. Helen completed her course of studies in Halifax at Le Marchant School, Morris Street School and Halifax County Aca- demy. In the fall of 1931 Helen graced the portals of the Ontario Ladies ' College. During her year as a senior Helen has filled the position of president of the Commer cial Class and proved herself an active member of the Senior Executive in the capacity of secretary. Helen has kept up her music and entered into the sports of the school. Helen seems to have two great weaknesses, flowers and book-keeping. Her talisman is the Sweet- heart of Sigma Chi, and she keeps a copy w ' th her all the time. The lure of the sea has proved so great that Helen is returning to her native shores in June. We wish you the best of luck, Helen, in whatever you choose to do. Favourite Expression — Oh, dear! Chief Occupation — Leading a blind girl down Yonge Street. MART BECKMAN Her eyes are as stars at twilight fair, Li e twilight, too, her dus y hair. A little ray of sunshine visited Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, when Mary entered the world on September 30, 1913. She has carried her books and contagious laugh to Baudette Public School, Minnesota, Rainy River High School, and in the fall of ' 31, to the Senior Class of O.L.C. This year Mary has been a very busy person, filling two positions well — that of treasurer of the Senior Class and secretary- treasurer of the Commercial Class. It seems Mary has a head for money! In the class-room, too, she has proved herself a steady worker, and on Lower Ry crson she has often caused much mirth by denning various costumes and masquerading clown the corridor. We know little of her future plans, but from a certain ring she wears, it looks as though it may be a little cottage with roses ' round the door for Mary in ' 33.

MARIAN CROW A heart to resolve, a head to contrive, and a hand to execute — Thou foster-child of silence and slow time. Marian arrived in Roslind, British Co- lumbia, on a golden September day, 1914. After spending a few years at Williamson Road Public School, she proceeded to Mal- vern Colleg ' ate and then to O.L.C. This is her second year with us, and we still know very little of her, as she is very independent and conscientious, with that decided little way of her own. Beneath her quiet, reserved manner there is an eager mind and a firm resolve, for she has a certa-n definite sense of her own value, which is that desirable quality of knowing oneself. There is also something of a pioneer about her, as she experiments and tries out things in her own way. The honour of Senior President was con- ferred upon Marian this year. She specializes in Art, and does not limit herself to any particular line, for her wood- carving, clay-modelings, charcoal sketches and oil paintings have all earned our ad- miration. This year she received a gold medal for distinction in her work. In the future she hopes to develop her talent even more; and we are convinced that some day her efforts will be felt in the growth of Modern Canadian Art. Expression — Oh! I forgot. Hobby Day dreaming. MART MACBETH Where there s a will there ' s a way. Mary was born in Saskatchewan, in July, 1913, and ever since has been a credit to the Macbeth name. In 1919 she went to live in Edmonton, where she obtained her public and high school education, gradu- ati ng in ' 31 from Victoria High School with her Senior Matriculation. This year she is taking a little side line in attending our college. Mary came here for a good time, and we trust that she has enjoyed herself. In Edmonton she began her study of music, which she is continuing this year. Mary has proved a capable editor of th? school magazine as well as filling the posi- tions of vice-president of the Senior Class and treasurer of the Okticlos. Mary ' s energy and willingness to help in every activity have made her a valuable member of our school life. As a token of apprecia- tion, she was elected one of the May Queen ' s Councillors. Next year when Mary returns to her be- loved west, we hope her thoughts will often turn with happiness to her past year with us. Favourite Expression — I did terribly. Hobby — A voiding Miss Scott.

RUTH ALLGEIER Impetuous, jolly, sincere and true, She always paddles her own canoe. On the twenty-second day of November, in the year nineteen hundred and fourteen, Mr. Allgeier joyfully ran up the stairs to greet the new arrival. Was it John or Ruth? It was Ruth, winning her first race. She won this race in Copper Cliff, where che later attended public school. Her next step in education was to attend High School in Sudbury. Every morning at seven o ' - clock she hurried out of bed and ran down to catch the street car, and off to school. For three years she did this strenuous work; then she decided she would come to O.L.C., where she could sleep in once in a while. Last year she was a Junior and this year is leaving us. Ruth won the cup on Field Day with twenty points, and made a good showing in the Swimming Meet. During the year she has acted as Exchange Editor of the Vox. On Commencement Day she bore off Senior honours in French and Latin. She has great hopes of being a doctor, and we know she will succeed in whatever she un- dertakes. Favourite Expression — Herro serf Hobby — Swimming. HELEN BOWDEK 1 l e to wor , I really do, But I h e a little dancing too. In the big city of Oshawa, early in the morning of August the fourth, 1910, Helen, better known as Bowden, first marvelled at her tiny toes. Bowden ' s school days were spent in Oshawa, where she completed her Junior Matriculation in 1929. In the fall of 1930 she arrived at O.L.C. to join the ranks of the Household Science Class as a Junior and this year finds her a graduate in that department. Active in sports, Bowden has played with distinction on the first basketball team for two years and this year won a much covet- ed chevron. She has also been president of her class and secretary of the Athletic Association. Both positions she has filled very capably. In her spare moments her ability in dancing has been much appre- ciated. Next year Bowden intends to take her Pupil Dietetics work at St. Michael ' s Hos- pital and we all wish her the very best of luck. Favourite Expression — What? Hobby — Bread and ketchup.
