The pews had been beautifully decorated with lily-of ' the-valley and spirea by the Junior class. As the Seniors in cap and gown passed down the aisle between the rows of standing people, the Junior president led the way and cut the ribbons which marked the Senior pews. The Baccalaureate sermon, delivered by Rev. G. O. Fallis, of Trinity United Church, Toronto, impressed the Graduating Class deeply and they walked back to the school very thoughtfully. The rest of the students were lined up in Main Hall and as the Seniors passed between the two lines and on up the stairs the customary parting hymn was sung. Later in the evening the Seniors and their guests were invited to the Common Room, where they had the privilege of meeting the speaker of the evening. ttinr lirpakfaat Party In accordance with the custom established a few years ago, the Seniors met down by the creek Class Day morning to try their luck at cooking over a campfire. The cooking experiment turned out successfully and the meal was much enjoyed by all. (HiuBB iag Class Day was celebrated on June 10. The Juniors made a most attractive daisy chain, the scarcity of daisies being made up by the quantity of spirea. At four o ' clock the Seniors, linked by the chain, entered the Concert Hall. Constance McCloskey, Junior president, read the personal biographies, and after each June Craig cut the chain. Marjorie Dawson then read the Class Prophecy and Catherine Robertson delivered the Valedictory. An interesting part of the afternoon was the presentation to the school of a cup for Tennis Doubles by the Senior class. Alumnap lag The Alumnae Dinner, held on Tuesday evening, June 1 1 , was a very delightful occasion. After a delicious dinner prepared by Miss Wallace and her staff, the toast- mistress, Mrs. J. C.

Following the dinner a charming programme was presented by members of the Alumnae.

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

Marjorie Dawson Who is that golden-haired beauty poised on the diving board? Dxjking a Httle closer, we see that it is none other than our old class mate Jeanne Forbes, taking a vacation from her job as private secretary to Senator Ada Gray. As the ripples diverge from her swan dive, we ai ' e transferred to a large hospital in the city of Edinburgh, and whom should we notice walking toward the operating room in cap and gown, but Doctor Harrison, renowned surgeon. She smiles at a dark-haired dietitian, who emerges from ward number seven. The bright eyes twinkle and we need no further proof, that it is the girl from the end of Upper Frances, Mary Hemphill. By the conversation between these two, we are informed of the fact that the Olympic tournaments are being held in Berlin, and Hildegarde Goodfellow is Canada ' s representative in the Badminton games. So we fly to the site of the games, and see her become world champion. We slip from the ridge of the first ripple, and arrive in the midst of a well-filled concert hall, where Madeline Mihalko is giving her Premiere, but besides her skill in playing, her manner of dress attracts us. At the end of the programme, she remarks that Helen Robertson is the designer of her clothes. So the next day we pay a visit to Helen ' s establishment, and discover that our class mate has developed further her talent for dressmaking. Another ripple, and we are walking through the campus of the University of Chicago, and find here a group of students saying, Well, there is one thing certain, if we do not get our Latin this year, it won ' t be because Professor Sauder does not know her classics. So we learn what Betty has accomplished since leaving O.L.C. and how she has changed. The professor takes us on a tour of Chicago, and we stop in at a hotel for dinner. A handsome R.C.M.P. enters, and with him, his blushing bride, Janet Appleton, who are honeymooning in the city. The next ripple brings us a little closer to home, to Toronto, which is in the midst of a great celebration for their native daughter, Margaret Pringle. She has made a great success on the New York stage, and is giving her first performance in her old home town. We try to see her before the opening, but she is dining with Toots Allan. And what do you suppose our vice-president is doing, now that she has finished a term in the punitentiary, but taking ART at the corner of Bloor and Yonge. Speaking of vice-president, makes us wonder where our president Doris is. We learn that she is in OrilHa, happily married to the president of the Dominion Bank. We return to our old school, and there we find Fern Kennedy efficiently teaching gym, and we wonder if there is any Minnie to carry home in her pocket, as we remember Miss Hobbs had to do. Whose name is that we see on the top of the office building at the four corners ol Whitby? Well, would you! D. fe? G. Smith, Barristers and Solicitors, and we did not know, when we graduated, that these girls were even thinking of taking up law. There is a familiar noise we hear in the distance, so let ' s follow it up. It is rather a long journey, but when we arrive at Milton, we understand why the voices carried so far, for whom should we see, but Cay Robertson and Marjorie Dawson — one sit- ting on the roof, and the other leaning out of the window singing Ah, Cnce Again. So they were keeping up the prediction they had made at our senior breakla.st table
