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.

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.

EVELTM BRIDGES Wit is the flower of Imagination. Ev first experienced life on an icy morn on December 25, 1913, in Windsor, Ontario. After attending Victoria Avenue School, and Walkerville Collegiate, Ev, agreeing that Variety is the spice of life came to O L.C. Ev must have known the writer of Pack up your troubles in your old kit- bag, for she has stolen his philosophy; and for the past two years her merry laugh has been heard in the halls and class-rooms. Besides keeping up with her studies, she has shown a keen interest in Dramatics, and for the past year has been President of the Dramat ' c Club. Her impersonations as The White Rabbit, Mama ' s pwesh- ious ' ittle dirl and the child with the cold in the Dramatic Club play will bring a chuckle with every memory. As Assistant Editor of the Vox, Ev has ' -hown us that she is an energetic worker. She is chiefly responsible for the success of the pound. We know that Ev will put zest and a twinkle into whatever future awaits her. Best of luck! Ev. Favourite Expression — When are you going to pay the pound? Hobby — Typing . VELVA MAT BROOKS She has her own idea of what ' s what. Vel hails from the West. Her arrival in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, One morn in misted April in 1913, scattered the clouds far and wide, bringing old Mr. Sun into view, smiling his broadest. Vel learned the three Rs at Westmount Public School, but being of a wandering nature, she travelled to Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, in 1923. After a few more years in public school, Vel continued her studies at Prince Albert Collegiate Insti- tute and still later entered the portals of O.L.C. in ' 28. The first year Vel was here Dramatics took most of her time, so she returned the following year to complete her Junior Matric. This year we find Velva among the stately Seniors, taking the collegiate course. One of our happiest memories of her is when she won the prize at the masquerade as Little Bo-Peep. Vel expects to return to the East next fall, and will enter the nursing profession in the Toronto General. Good luck, Vel! Favourite Expression — Well Brooks Hobby — Talking. we m Page Seventeen
