HELEJi ROBERTSOH DORIS SMITH Silence is the perfect herald of joy. In all her quiet ways discreet and good. Helen was born on July 8, 1917, in Hamilton. At the age of five she moved to Burlington and passed through the Public and High schools of that town. In the fall of ' 34 she decided to come to O.L.C. and has been the little ray of sunshine of the Household Science class. Incidentally Helen excels in sewing and cooking, and though reported to have a marvellous voice, nobody has ever been known to hear it. She is go- ing to Varsity next year and we know she will be a clever dietician. Favourite Expression — Oh, really now! Hobby — Picking up pins. ELIZABETH SAUDER But you can never tell what the primmest miss Will do on a bright spring niorning. August 3, 1915, was the first birthday of Elizabeth Frances Sauder. She was born in Kitchener and at an early age she attended the PubHc School of that fair city. Later she entered Kitchener Waterloo Collegiate. Last year the call of O.L.C. was too great for her and she came to Whitby to finish her matric. Betty is interested in sports, was on the swimming team, and is very en- thusiastic about riding. She was elected May Queen this year by the student body. We all join in wishing Betty the best of luck. Favourite Expression — If my mother knew Hobby — Vogue, Harper ' s Bazaar, May- fair. Doris was born in Whitby, where she attended both Public and High Schools, un- til the fall of 1934, when she decided to wend her way to O.L.C. as a day student, entering fully into the life of the school as a Commercial student. But it is not all studies that occupy Doris ' mind. She has taken a keen interest in sports, and we find she has a decided yearning towards dancing in which art she is quite proficient. After graduating from O.L.C. in June she hopes to secure a position and we wish her the best of luck in the future. Favourite Expression — Has second gone? Hobby — Sharpening pencils. GEORGIHA SMITH She is just a prairie flower Growing wilder every hour. Georgina was born April 2, 1917, in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, and attended Simpson ' s Public School and Yorkton High where she obtained her Junior Matric. Then she came to O.L.C. to take a one- year Senior course in Commercial. Geor- gina was a substitute for the basketball team and also made an excellent defence in soccer. Piano, vocal, and theory have at- tracted her attention and she has done very well in all. We are sure that success will follow her in whatever she chooses to un- dertake. Best of luck, Georgina! Favourite Expression — Hi, Duchess! Hobby — Fighting with Janet about the population of Yorkton. 1 Page Thirteen

MART HEMPHILL Lavf hinrj lips and twinkliiKj eyes Conceal a mind that ' s wondrous wise. Mary Hemphill arrived in Hensall, On- tario, on October 4, 1917. Schools in Hen- sall and Exeter claimed Mary ' s spare time until she completed her Junior Matricula- tion, then her long-contemplated year at O.L.C. materialized. We have all enjoyed Mary ' s sunny disposition and laughing eyes. She has successfully filled the position of Vice-President of the Honour Club this year and has taken an active interest in athletics. She expects to attend MacDonald Hall next year and we all wish her the best of luck and happiness throughout the coming years. Favourite Expression — Honest to Pete!

i»pnwr (ElaeH ©ffirera Honorary President Class Teacher President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Miss A. Maxwell Miss B. Maxwell Doris Mullett Margaret Allan Jeanne Forbes Friday, February the twenty-second! Once more the old halls of Trafalgar Castle echoed the laughter and hustle of last minute preparations, for it was the night of the fifth Senior At-Home. At half past eight the girls with their escorts wended their way to the gymnasium where they were received by Dr. and Mrs. Carscallen, Miss A. Maxwell, the Senior class teacher and the president. The decorations were carried out with blue and blue streamers and multi-coloured balloons, while easy chairs and lamps were placed along the sides of the walls. A golliwog and balloon dance supplied the novelties. Supper was served in the Common Room and Main Hall by the Juniors, after which more dancing followed. One-thirty came all too soon and as we said good-bye to our guests in the hall we were left with the memories of one of the happiest occasions of our school year. The lights go out! The audience is hushed! The curtains draw apart and what do we see? A Japanese Tea Garden and geisha girls singing We are geisha girls so fair, from old Japan! The Senior Stunt this year, given on Friday evening, March 29, was a musical comedy, Miss Cherry-blossom. The story was that of Evelyn Barnes, an American girl born in Japan, whose parents died of fever and who was brought up as a Japanese maiden. Cherry-blossom. John Henry Smith, one of a party of American tourists, falls in love with Cherry, but Kokemo, her guardian, wants her to marry Togo, a rich politician. The action of the piece centers around Jack ' s eifort to outwit Togo and Kokemo. Eventually Cherry learns her true identity, comes into her own property, marries Jack, and all ends happily. Betty Sauder as Cherry-blossom and Hildegarde Goodfellow as Jack, the young American millionaire, displayed fine technique in their love scenes. There was also a pretty love affair between Jessica (Margaret Allan) and Harry (Georgina Smith) as well as comical scenes with Kokemo (Catherine Robertson) and Togo (Marjorie Dawson) . The effective scenery and the pretty Japanese costumes created an oriental atmosphere. After the stunt, flowers were presented to Miss B. Maxwell and Miss Golden, under whose excellent supervision the stunt was presented. The Senior song was sung to the tune of Men of Harlech and this memorable evening ended with ice cream, cakes, and coffee served by the Seniors. Qlfjp ftttor ititnpr Once more the old dining room looked down upon the proud faces of sixteen graduates seated around two attractively decorated tables. The twentieth Senior Dinner was held this year on Friday, April 26. Each table, lit by candle-light, dis- played class colours, the most charming table being that of the Seniors, where bouquets of blue iris were used to mark the class colours. At each place were favours — golden ships with blue sails, loaded with candies, and the gift of the Juniors, sterling silver V, Page Fourteen
