HELEK STOUT A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse! Helen arrived in Crosby on September 16, 1915. There she attended Public and High Schools. Like a lot of other girls she heard about a wonderful College at Whit ' by. Being of an inquisitive nature she wanted to know all about it, and when she did, she would not rest in peace until she enrolled here as a student. She entered the Commercial Class and did very well, so came back again this year to graduate. Helen is interested in sports and is very en- thusiastic about riding. She goes out this year from our midst, and may we wish her the best of success. Favourite Expression — That ' s what you think! Hobby — Riding. Honorary President Class Teacher President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Miss Maxwell Miss Glahn Helen Carscallen Betty Toone Jean McArthur Grayce Hill Many hearts throbbed, more cheeks blushed and most people enjoyed themselves ' neath the red and white streamers and gay multi-colored balloons on the night of February 24th, 1934. This was the big occasion of the year — our annual Senior At-Home. Everyone felt at home and likewise enjoyed themselves. Having passed through the receiving line which consisted of Miss Maxwell, Honor- ary President of the Class, Dr. and Mrs. Carscallen, Miss Dorte Glahn, class teacher, and Miss Helen Carscallen, class president, the guests danced away the hours to the music of a snappy eight-piece orchestra. The programs were previously arranged by the girls and were varied by Paul Jones, Tag, and Balloon dances. Being near Valen- tine ' s Day, we had an interesting Heart Novelty dance. Girls and boys were passed fragments of cardboard hearts with names of countries on them. When countries were paired off, the halves matched and the couple danced. Supper was served in the Common Room, a very welcome and delicious repast, after which we tripped the light fantastic again. As the delightful evening closed, feet were ready for bed, but not so minds and hearts. We don ' t ever reminisce about the dance do we girls??? Page Eleven

MARGARET AUDREY McTAVISH Those thousand decencies that daily flow From all her words and actions. January 1, 1913, was the first birthday of Margaret Audrey McTavish. She was born in Regina, Saskatchewan, and at the age of eight, came to the fair city of Oshawa. Here she attended the Oshawa High School, and obtained part of her Junior Matricu- lation. In the year 1929, Audrey decided to come to O. L. C, and here, half completed her Senior Matriculation. This year we again see her with us, graduating in a Com- mercial course. She is also capably filling the position of Secretary-Treasurer of the S. C. M. Audrey is leaving us this year, with the intention of applying her newly acquired knowledge in some business house. We sincerely hope that she may make a huge success of her future. Favourite Expression — Oh Nuts! Hobby — Music. JEAH MEIKLE The ivorld is too much xoith us. Jean made her first appearance in Mor- risburg, Ontario, on December 23, 1914. She travelled the paths of learning through Public and High Schools, completing her Junior Matriculation, and in the fall of ' 32 decided to see what a boarding school was like. So Jean packed her bag and baggage and arrived at O. L. C. Last year Art and Vocal took up most of her time and this year she graduates in Art. Jean has kept up her interest in singing, taking Junior work in Vocal. Favourite Expression — Oh, Spit! Hobby — Stubbing her toe on the art studio furniture. WILLENA MAT KICHOLSOH Where dwellest thou? Under the canopy. On May 9, 1916, another newcomer en- tered this world and greeted it with a cheery cry in the noble city of Toronto. The year 1922 found Willena beginning life ' s great adventure at Dewson St. School, but she found that Normal Model better suited her venturesome spirit. From there she went to Humberside Collegiate for four years. We are glad that the fifth found her wending her way Trafalgarwards. In the realm of sports she has excelled in swim- ming and basketball. Willena has also filled her position of secretary of the Honour Club council most efficiently. Whatever be her plans for the future we wish her all luck and good fortune. Favourite Expression — Out at the cot- tage. Hobby — Swimming.

Stye junior Btnnt This year the Seniors attempted the staging of a light musical comedy — The Gypsy Rover — for their annual stunt night. A lot of hard work was put into this and under the most excellent musical supervision of Miss Louise Golden and dramatic direction of our class teacher, Miss Dorte Glahn, a most entertaining and worth-while stunt was produced. Marion Slemon as Lady Constance in the leading female role showed no bashfulness or lack of experience in the love scenes with Rob, the Gypsy Rover, admirably portrayed by Eileen Johnson. There were also pretty love affairs between Nina (Jean McArthur) and Capt. Jerome (Willena Nicholson), Zara (Peggy Keyes) and Sinfo (Betty Toone), a gypsy dance by Zara, and many comedy scenes by Sinfo and Marto. The whole stunt was mingled with stirring and snappy tunes to say nothing of passionate love songs. That memorable evening ended with assorted sandwiches, tea and chocolate eclairs served by the Seniofs. Though we must say adieu, We ' ll return to you ' - Mentor Sinner This year the Senior Dinner was held on Friday, April 13th, and the spacious dining room was transformed by festive decorations. The Junior Class decorated it very attractively and each table with its bouquet in the colour of individual classes was represented, the most charming table being that of the Seniors, where daffodils and green carnations in black holders were used to mark the Senior colors. At each place were favors — wagons loaded with candies drawn by dogs also represented in Senior colors. Each Senior was given a sterling silver coffee spoon engraved with O. L. C, as a remembrance of the happy days spent here. The evening began with a delicious chicken dinner, specially planned by Miss Wallace. Everyone enjoyed it immensely but a few seemed preoccupied. Perhaps they were the ones who had something to say later. Dr. C. R. Carscallen, the toast- master, began by toasting the King. The other toasts were as follows: To Our Country Alma Mater Faculty Graduating Class Other Classes Student Organisations Proposed by Marion Slemon Jean McArthur Peggy Keyes Hildegarde Goodfellow Audrey McTavish Willena Nicholson College Press Helen Hicks Response by Erna Laing Tommy Arnold Miss Maxwell Helen Carscallen [Margaret Allan J Ada Arnold Constance McCloskey Georgia Webb [Margaret Keith -| Eileen Johnson Betty Toone Nancy Howard Page Twelve
