Honorary President - Miss Maxwell Class Teacher - - Miss Beer President - - - Harriet Perry Vice-President - - Elsie Allin Secretary-Treasurer - Mary Sharp B ' ptttor At IHomp Friday, February twenty-eighth! What a thrill that date struck to our hearts. Weeks before the actual occasion, all seniors were filled with anticipation of the Dance. The night finally arrived, and well might an onlooker reali2;e, with the girls flying hither and yon, that everyone was tense, and waiting expectantly for their friends. At eight o ' clock the girls, with their escorts, wended their way toward the gym- nasium, where they were received by Dr. and Mrs. Carscallen, Miss Maxwell, the Senior president, and the Senior class teacher. The decorations were carried out with red and white streamers, serpentine, and multi-colored balloons, while easy chairs and lamps found their places along the sides of the walls. A heart and balloon dance supplied the novelties. Members of the Junior class bore the burden of good things to eat, as we assembled in the Common Room and beautiful Main Hall for supper. One-thirty came all too soon, and as we stood in the hall, watching our guests depart, we were left with the happiest memories of one of the most enjoyable functions of the year. The lights go out! The audience is hushed! The curtains draw apart and the first notes of the opening chorus float out. What do we see? A Japanese street and Japanese coolies, singing: If you want to know who we are, We are gentlemen of Japan. The play is on! The Senior Stunt this year, given Friday evening, March 31, was light opera, The Mikado, (after the manner of Gilbert and Sullivan.) The fact that the char- acte rs and the melodies were familiar to the audience seemed to add to the hilarious success of the evening, though it is doubtful if anyone got more fun out of the whole performance than the Seniors themselves. The sets, designed and made by the artistic members of the Class, as well as the very effective costumes, created the needed Oriental atmosphere. After the Stunt, the curtain rose again on a different scene. This time the girls grouped themselves in the formation of a fan, holding yellow, green and orchid stream- ers leading to a stand with the inscription ' 33. The Senior song was sung to the tune of Braid the Raven Hair, from the Mikado. The evening ended with an informal reception by the Seniors in the Common Room. ©lip pninr iittitpr With beaming aspect, the old dining room looked down on the proud faces of the fifteen graduates seated in state around two beautifully decorated tables. The Eighteenth Senior Dinner was held this year on Friday, April 28th. The dining room was decorated very attractively by the Junior Class. Each table, lit by candle-light, displayed a choice bouquet made up of flowers in the colours representa- tive of each class, the most charming being the Senior table where iris, daffodils, fern, and mauve candles were used to mark the Senior colours. At each place were favours in the form of diplomas and mortar-boards, and each Senior was given a sterling silver coffee spoon engraved with O.L.C.

RUTH PYPER Merry as the day is long. Ruth was born in Morrisburg, Ont., on September 14, 1914. She attended and graduated from Morrisburg Collegiate. In the fall of ' 32, Ruth came to O.L.C. as a member of the hard ' working commer ' cial class, and one of our dignified Seniors. She is keenly interested in Badminton, win- ning the cup for both singles and double s. Next year she hopes to excel in com- mercial languages, and we wish her a bril- liant future. Favourite Expression : I know Fm going to fail in this exam. Hobby: Studying? BETTT TOON£ A little nonsense note and then Is relished hy the best of men. Port Credit is to be credited with the ar- rival of a smiling baby girl on August the thirty ' first, nineteen hundred and fourteen. She grinned her way into Port Credit Pub- lic School, where she learned her three R ' s. She travelled to England and remained there a year. She returned and got her entrance and then went to Port Credit High School to bring them credit along athletic lines. Betty came to O.L.C. this year to get a taste of boarding school life, as well as her Senior Matriculation. Betty did well in the Fall Field Day Meet by coming second. Healt h would not permit her to carry on her athletics but if it had, we are sure she would have woa honours along this line. This year she has been our very capable Vice-President of the S.C.M. Favourite Saying: Fm not sarcastic. Hobby: Grinning. BREnDA RICH Her iinaNSuming air coneeals Hosts of ideas and ivorthy ideals. Brenda was born in Lindsay on January 12, in 1914. Here she obtained her public school education and also her Junior Ma- triculation. The Fall of 1931 found her at O.L.C, but unfortunately before the year was over Brenda had to leave us. However, she didn ' t let that keep her away and the fall of ' 32 found her back in O.L.C. again. This year Brenda has been a hard-work- ing member of fifth form, and we have no doubt that she will succeed in the coming exams. Brenda is undecided about what to do next year, but we wish her the best of luck in whatever she undertakes. Favourite Saying: I haven ' t the fog- giest. Hobby: Nursing. DORornr small he respect, every man ' s opinion, But acts on her oivn. Small was born in Chengtu, West China, on November six, 1914, and there attended the Canadian School until six years ago, when she made her appearance in Vancouver, B.C. There she obtained her entrance, and two years ' high school. She came to O.L.C. in the Fall of 1930. This year Small took no small part in our school life, as she has been a very able and ef- ficient S.C.M. President. Next year Small intends to forge through Toronto ' Varsity and we hope she will maintain the splendid academic record that she has set for herself at O.L.C. Favourite Expression : You Old Wart- Hog! Hobby: Writing her Sunday epistles home. Page Eleven

The affair began with a deHcious chicken dinner, specially planned by Miss Wal- lace, and very much enjoyed by all. After everyone had partaken of it much too freely, the toastmaster, Dr. C. R. Carscallen, rose and proposed a toast to the King. The other toasts were as follows: To Our Country Alma Mater The Faculty The Graduating Class The Other classes Proposed by Elsie Allin Georgie Golden Ruth Pyper Helen Carscallen Kathryn Hadden Student Organi2;ations Mary Sharp Responded by Elva Bird Katharine Kinman Miss A. Maxwell Harriet Perry Eileen Johnson, Junior Class Margaret Keith, Medium Class Cay Stocks, Sophomore Class Verna Kinman, Freshman Class Eileen Fit2,Simmons, Elementary Class Dorothy Small, S.C.M. Eleanor Hardy, Athletic Association. Mary Harshaw, Honour Club On the evening of the eleventh of June, in the United Church, our annual Bacca- laureate service was held. What thoughts filled the minds of the Seniors as they wended their way to Church in caps and gowns! It was their last service as a student body! The Junior Class had prettily decorated all the pews with white flowers and had added white ribbon to those for the Seniors. Helen Carscallen, the Junior President, cut the ribbon as the Seniors filed in. Outside a storm raged, the power was cut oif, and the church became eerily dark. It was in this dramatic atmosphere that the Reverend Crossley Hunter, of Carlton Street United Church, delivered his inspiring sermon, especially directed to the Gradu- ating Class. There was little conversation as the Seniors returned home. Their minds were filled with the text of that great sermon, ' Treely ye have received; freely give. Ollasfi iay Class Day was celebrated on June the twelfth. How glad were the Juniors, when they found that the Daisy Chain could be made with real daisies for the first time in many years. At 2 o ' clock, the Seniors, in caps and gowns, linked by the Daisy Chain, grace- fully drooped over their shoulders, entered the Concert Hall. Helen Carscallen, Junior President, read the personal biographies. After each biography had been read, Eileen Johnson, with the help of Dr. Carscallen, cut the chain. Dorothy Small then read the Class Prophecy and Mary Harshaw delivered the Valedictory. An interest- ing part of the afternoon was the presentation of a large coffee pot to the Seniors of ' 34. It was hoped that a tradition of a Senior Breakfast Party on the morning of Class Day, would be established. The Juniors gave a delicious dinner for the Gradu- ates, in the Household Science room. At dark, the Seniors threw their most disliked books into a cheery bon-fire, to the accompaniment of an appropriate verse. Challenges and Songs closed a happy evening. Mentor Irfakfafit Party An interesting innovation was added to the Class Day Programme this year. The Senior Class met at 7.30 to do justice to a delicious breakfast beside the creek. It was so much enjoyed, that we hope the coming Seniors will have a similar opportunity. Page Thirteen
