JOT SPEHCER As virtuous as fair. Back in 1913, October first, the Spencer household was brightened by our Joy. Having attended public school and Nor- wood High School at Havelock, we find her a member of the Mediums at O.L.C. in ' 30. During Joy ' s three years at the college, Joy has certainly lived up to her name. Last year Joy was one of the May Queen ' s Councillors and as a crowning glory had one of the greatest honours of O. L. C. bestowed upon her when she was elected the May Queen of 1932. She must be partial to titled positions, for she also made an impressive Duchess in the Senior Stunt. This year she has also held capably the vice-presidency of the Honour Club. As to Joy ' s future plans we know little, but we do know that she will always bring honour to her Alma Mater. Favourite Expression — No mail for you. Hobby — Going down town after four. HORMA THOMPSON Oh joyful maid sing on And I will sit here listening. Norma ' s voice was first raised in song in far-off China. There she was given three initials, N.E.T. In the past eighteen years she has taken this net, woven many strands into its mesh, and enlarged it greatly. Her public school days were spent in Chengtu, but her high school career has been varied. Kobe, Japan, claimed her for two years; Toronto for another, and O.L. C. for her last two. As a Junior she became known as the speedy side-centre and captain of the first basketball team. She was also treasurer of the Athletic Association and Assistant Edi- tor of Vox. This year Norma has proved an able President of the Athletic Association. She has been active in sports, winning a Chev- ron for distinction in basketball, and has proved a willing worker in any school acti- vity. Her qualities were recognised by the school when she was elected holder of the Strathcona Shield. Norma hopes to go to University this September. As her net increases, may it keep some strands about old friends and bind others about the new. Favourite Expression - I thank you kindly. Hobby — Doing her hair up. Page Twenty-Two

JAHE RITTEHHOUSE vox U Let the world wag as it I ' ll be gay and happy still. One chilly November day of the year 1912 found Jane At Home in Newark, New Jersey, but her school days were divided between Toronto and California, until her wandering steps finally directed her to the friendly doors of O.L.C. in the fall of 1931. Here she has been completing her Senior year of Household Science. It did not take us long to discover that she would be an able treasurer of the S.C. M., and secretary of the Household Science Class. Her reliability and efficiency have been well proved by her work at the teas prepared by the Household Science Depart ' ment. Jane has taken an active interest in sports, and we find her on the second bas- ketball team and competing in Field Day events. Among her many interests, Jane has shown her aptitude for dramatics, as when she impersonated the character of the Queen of Hearts in the Senior Stunt. Next year, Jane intends to live in Toron- to and take a course in Practical Dietetics. Here ' s luck to you, Jane, from your many friends at O.L.C. Favourite Expression — It ' s possible, but Weaknesses — Writing, cooking and room-mates. MARJORIE G. RUDDY Her echoes roll from soul to soul And grow forever and forever. Marge was born on February second, in 1908, in the little village . of Millbrook. When Marge was very young she moved with her parents to Peterborough, and in 1917 moved to Whitby, where she has since made her home. Here Marge con ' tinued her education in the public schools. After passing the Entrance she came to O. L.C. and spent the first two years of High School within its walls. Marge then went to Whitby High School to finish her course, but the fall of 1931 found her back at dear O.L.C, where she has been taking Com- mercial work and some Senior Matricula- tion subjects. Marge has found her field of active work outside the school. She organised the first company of Girl Guides in Whitby three years ago and has been an active Guide ever since. We wish her every success in the future and hear rumours that she has ambitions in the journalistic world. Favourite expression — Honest to Pete! Hobby — Studying birds. Page Twentii-On

MURIEL WILFORD It seems that with her goes a grace That gives a meaning to the day ' s fair face. Muriel has tasted the spice of life, as her eighteen years have led her through many climes. Muriel lived in China for her first two years and then came to Canada for three. Seeming ever restless, she returned to China at the age of five and lived there until her roving spirit took her to Edin- burgh, where for one year she attended school with little lads and lassies. Upon again returning to Canada, Muriel lived in Vancouver, Blyth, Oil Springs, and has for the last two years been at O.L.C. Muriel has been loved by all, and has held responsibilities as only a very capable and efficient girl could. This has been shown by her splendid leadership in the Honour Club. She also brought credit to herself by coming second in the public speaking contest. As final tributes, Muriel was elected one of the Councillors for the May Queen this year and chosen to be Valedictorian. Next year when Willie is in Meds at Varsity we hope she will often return and revive that dialect for which she and her friends have been so famous this year. Favourite Expression — I am only a little girl Hobby — Ministering to those who have strayed from the straight and narrow path. HAHA FUKUDA Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her infinite variety. — Sha espeare. Our dear friend Hana is leaving us this summer and returning to the land of cherry blossoms, where she was born. We like to imagine Hana in her natural Japa- nese setting. We know that her energy, her high ideals and love of fun must have shown themselves in her days at the Mis- sion School in Tokio. In 1929 she came to Canada on a scholarship and studied mu- sic at O.L.C. She obtained her A.T.C.M. in piano, and this last year she returned as a post-graduate to continue her piano studies. In addition to this, Hana has been taking vocal lessons, and passed with excel- lent standing. We know she will fill her position well as head of the music department of the boarding school, which awaits her return to Japan. Those who know Hana well, love her for herself and admire her for her persever- ance. We always feel she is one of our- selves and through this quality Hana has contributed more to the school than she realizes, for she has shown us that girls all over the world are very much the same. Our affection goes with her and we hope that some day she will return to her Cana- dian Alma Mater. Page Twenty-Three
