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

coffee spoons. The deucious chicken dinner prepared by Miss Wallace had been partaken of much too freely when Dr. Carscallen, as toast master, rose and proposed a toast to the King. The other toasts which followed were: To Our Country Alma Mater Faculty Graduating Class Other Classes Student Organizations College Press Proposed by Georgina Smith Marjorie Dawson Catherine Robertson Constance McCloskey Margaret Allan Mary Hemphill Fern Kennedy ilSarralaureatf B»unbai| Response by Betty Sauder Jeanne Forbes Miss A.

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. Webster, rose and proposed a toast to the King. Toasts to the Alma Mater and to the Graduating Class followed, after which the school song was sung. Following the dinner a charming programme was presented by members of the Alumnae.

one morning. These girls, not bearing to part from Milton, had taken up residence there. Cay as the mayor of the town, and Marjorie as the wife of the church organist, and herself the choir leader. The ripples are gone and we realise we have seen a glimpse of each of the Seniors of ' 35, as they may be in the future. BaUJitrtnrg Catherine Robertson Our years at school are Hke a room, filled with many old and beautiful memories, and the long ' surviving traditions of the past. When we first enter into the life of the College, we are bewildered and diiTident. There is a tendency to stand and stare, to shrink from learning the whys and wherefores and to maintain some reserve towards those who are acquainted with school life. Just so, the little boy, in that wonderful preface to Walter de la Mare ' s Come Hither, stood in the strange room of that beautiful mysterious house and gazed about him in pu2;2led astonishment. But when he had visited that room day after day, perused its books, studied its pictures, he became filled with the same thoughts that the owner of that room must have had. His guide introduced him into this new world, she told him that his duty was to keep his senses, heart and courage, and to go where he was called. He learned of life from the presence of the owner ' s mind manifested in the room, and from this communion of spirit, came to a knowledge of his own mind, and at length to the stage of departure from that home of his growth. So when he was ready to take his journey, his guide bade him good-bye, and he set forth with heart and courage. She had told him that sometime he would come to a wall on the way to the place of his hope, and that he must climb over it. So in school, after we have become accustomed to its organization and have spent the years in diligent study, and when our first fear has worn off and acquaintance- ship has ripened into friendship, we feel that now, at the close of the term, we have learned the full meaning of the school ' s inheritance. We leave our kind guides, our Principal and teachers, our friends and companions, and set out with heart and courage. We shall never forget this place of our growth and learning, we hope to be able to climb the walls that may stand in the paths leading to the ends we choose. Our grateful thanks are due to Miss Maxwell, our Honorary President, and Miss B. Maxwell, our class teacher, for constant help and guidance. And to the Junior class whose loyal support and consideration have meant more to us than we can ever express. To all the students we would extend our affectionate good wishes. We hope that from our living here some influence may remain to enrich the inheritance of the students to come. And so we fare forth on our journey.
