We found Willena Nicholson doing a good work in High Park School in Toronto, where she was helping a multitude of weak, undernourished children to become strong and healthy. Quite unexpectedly we came upon Helen Stout in a New Ford model. She hardly had time to talk to us, she breathlessly explained, she had an appointment with the president of Retail Groceries Association, who was considering taking large orders for the three new breakfast cereals just on the market — Pep, Push, and Personality — from the Kellogg Company, for which she was travelling. Marie Ward welcomed us to New Liskeard, where she was happily bringing up her two boys and vainly trying to discourage their growing interest in alarm clocks. Marie informed us that she had heard that Helen Hicks had undertaken to train Merlin junior to bring her her breakfast in bed each morning. Our travels took us across the border, where we located more of our classmates. Jean Meikle was teaching in the Twentieth Century Art School in New York. Nancy Howard, having acquired a taste for bookkeeping, was holding the responsible position of accountant to the minister of Finance in the White House. How glad I was that I had gone that day into the fortune teller ' s, for it had brought me much joy and happiness to renew my friendships! For sixty years our Alma Mater has been sending forth her daughters to take their places in the world. Sixty years in life is a long time, and many changes have taken place within these walls since O. L. C. was first established. There are bound to be changes in sixty years. We have been benefited by some of the mistakes of our predecessors, we have outgrown some of their ideas, but we cannot improve on their ideals. We are bound to those first graduates by the tradition of honour and fidelity which they have passed down through the years to us, and which have grown more beautiful with age and use. These are the things which will never change and will bind us alike to those who have gone before and those who are to come after. Our inheritance must be won by effort and cherished with devotion — and we hope that we have borne our- selves worthily in the eyes of those who have maintained these traditions in the past. This, then, is the inheritance we are leaving to you Juniors, who have been our true friends, and since we must pass it on, we are glad that you are the ones who are to receive it. Only those who have stood where we now stand can fully realize what graduation means to us. We are reluctant to leave, and yet we cannot help wondering what the future has in store for us. We should be able to face it fearlessly, for our Alma Mater has given us a firm foundation upon which to build. And we would thank our prin- cipal, Dr. Carscallen, our Honorary President, Miss Maxwell, the Faculty, especially our class teacher, and the other classes who have done so much to make this, our last year here, a happy one. We pause on the threshold and glance back into these dear old halls so full of memories and of hopes — but the last stage of our journey has come, and so Filled with sad and gay We pass unto the further day. Eileen Johnson
