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

She went sailing through the Public and High Schools of that town and in the fall of 1933 decided to journey to O. L. C. to take some Senior Matriculation subjects. Marion has been working hard at her piano also and has passed the Intermediate Grade. She has a yearning toward singing and has been studying Vocal too. Slemon has very capably filled the position of secretary of the Athletic Club this year. She is plan ' ning to attend ' Varsity next year, and here ' s to the best of luck in whatever she may undertake. Favourite Expression — You smut, you! Hobby — Eileen. 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

(Elaaa Slag Class Day was held on Saturday, June 9th. The Juniors made a very attractive chain, despite the scarcity of daisies. At three o ' clock the graduates entered the Concert Hall in caps and gowns, linked together by the chain. After each biography had been read by Hildegarde Goodfellow, the Junior Class President, Margaret Allan cut the chain. Then Marion Slemon read the Class Prophecy and Eileen Johnson delivered the Valedictory. The Seniors presented the school with a pair of silver candlesticks to be placed on the mantelpiece in the Common Room. The Junior class gave a delicious dinner for the Graduates in the Household Science room. After a student recital, the school and house guests assembled around the bonfire to watch the Seniors throw in the books they most disliked, accompanied by an appropriate verse or song. Challenges and songs brought the evening to a close. larralaureate rnton On the evening of June 10th, our annual Baccalaureate service was held in the United Church. Members of the Alumnae and the rest of the school preceded the Seniors, in caps and gowns. The pews had been attractively decorated by the Junior Class with white flowers and the Senior pews with white ribbon; as the graduates filed in, the ribbons were cut by the Junior President, Hildegarde Goodfellow. The Baccalaureate sermon, delivered by Rev, R. P. Bowles, Chancellor Emeritus of Victoria College, brought inspiration to the hearts of graduates and others alike. As the Seniors entered the stately Main Hall and heard the strains of Saviour, again to thy dear name we raise, their minds were filled with the text of the sermon, Let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth. Thinking of the coffee pot left us by last year ' s graduates, we held a second break- fast party down by the creek. The Senior Class met at 7.30 to try their luck at cooking. Our meal was prepared in the regular camping style and enjoyed by all. Sommy ' fi Sana If you ' re staying for exams, or your people have not been on hand to take you away amidst a pleasant whirl of congratulations and goodbyes, the hours after Com- mencement are rather flat. There are the movies, of course, but this year there was Tommy ' s dance for the graduating class and were we thrilled! Just when dusk began to fall, the cars rolled up and away we went, pleased and excited, to beautiful Arnhills. Tommy made a delightful hostess and knew just what we liked in music and refresh- ments, and the time went all too quickly. This is the first event of the sort for the graduates, and we want it to have a special place in our Chronicle. Page Thirteen
