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

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.

ALICE CARSCALLEH MARGARET DAT There is a lady sweet and ind, Was never face so pleased my mind. For nineteen years Alice has been bring- ing joy into many lives. She was born in Canada, but while still very young went out to China, where she spent the greater part of her public school days. On return- ing to Canada, she entered Oakwood Col- legiate, but in less than a year arrived at O.L.C. From the beginning Alice made herself known and liked by all. She held the posi- tion of Medium Class President, as well as Junior President, which offices proved her capability. This year Alice has been Presi- dent of the S.C.M. and her worth has been shown there in the successful results of the year ' s programme. In her academic work Alice has not lowered her standard but has always done well. Her Senior year has been no excep- tion, for she received the gold medal for the highest standing in Fifth Form. Alice is planning to go on to University in the fall. We hope her future may be as happy and successful as her years here have been. Favourite Expression — Oh dear. Hobby — Finding new birds. Page Eighteen, Subtle wiles are in her smiles To set the world a ' wooing. Marg first saw the sunshine in the flowery month of May in 1913, in that thriving city of Edmonton. Her school days were spent in studying in that city, including a year at University. In the fall of 1931 Marg wished to see more than her own West, so she set out for O.L.C. where from the first she made a cozy spot in all our hearts through her sympathetic and friendly ways. We will long remember Marg as the Cheshire Cat with its well-known grin in the Senior operetta. She has been an active worker on the Vox as Assistant Business Manager. She is very fond of golf and loves to occupy herself with a good club whenever a spare moment presents itself. We also often find her curled up, enjoying a book. We hear she expects to resume her studies at the University of Alberta again next fall and we wish her heaps of luck. Favourite Expression — I ' m going on a diet — to-morrow. Hobby — Using perfect subjunctives in Latin Composition.
