May Queen Hag lag For the first time in years May Day actually dawned bright and clear with no signs of rain. At 10 o ' clock the school and friends assembled in the Concert Hall to hear an address by Mrs. Plumptre. Then came the usual suspense of elections and out of the excitement which followed the results announced were that Betty Toone was chosen May Queen and Grayce Hill and Mary Parks her councillors. The May Court consisted of a group of little girls from Whitby and Oshawa, Carolyn Carnwith, Joan Canning, Catherine Burr, Marian Rowe and Diana Burns, all children of old students. The Crown was placed on the Queen ' s head by Mrs. Plumptre. Under Miss Glahn ' s supervision the May Day exercises were performed in honor of the May Queen. In the afternoon the usual picnic was enjoyed in the usual way and movies in the evening brought another May Day at O. L. C. to a happy close. Page Twenty-Fiv

Ik ®t|e (Eijriatmafi Pageant The third annual Christmas Pageant was one of the most outstanding features of the year. The dining room was attractively decorated with streamers and bells and lighted with candles and the tables were arranged in the shape of a horseshoe. We welcomed as gues ts Mr. Atkinson ' s Choir from Toronto, members of the Board of Directors and other friends. The Boar ' s Head procession was the most important feature of the evening. First came the agile Jester, the Bowman, the Cook, the Bearers carrying the Boar ' s Head, the Cantor, Candlelighters, Minstrels, the Three Kings, with Pages, King Wenceslaus, Page and Peasant, Holly and Ivy and the Dancers. The youngest girl lighted the candle of the Senior President, and she in turn lighted the large yuletide candle. During the delicious chicken dinner we were entertained with musical and humorous numbers by the visiting choir. After dinner everyone gathered in the concert hall, where a pantomime of the Three Wise Men was given, with carols and vocal numbers. And so ended another Christmas Pageant at O. L. C. ©ije (§kttrlo0 (tab President Secretary-Treasurer Social Convener Kay Hadden Mary Parks Marie Ward W e have not been as active as usual this year, but have started the new practice of having each member perform at the meetings which were held nearly every Tuesday from 5 to 6 p.m. The first meeting took place on January 27 th, with a very interesting programme. We all feel that these meetings each week have helped us a great deal in our playing and appreciation of music, as Mr. Atkinson gave us several extremely interesting lec- tures on music appreciation. Our final recitals on June 8th were very successful; excellent talent was displayed in these fine programmes of piano and vocal selections. The piano examinations of Solo Performers A.T.C.M., Teachers A.T.C.M., Inter- mediate, Junior, Primary and Introductory were successfully tried; also Junior, Inter- mediate and A. T. C. M. vocal exams. We extend our grateful thanks to Mr. Atkinson and Miss Golden for their great interest in us, and help during this year.
