ISABEL PERRIH Eager for ivords and wisdom. Isabel made her first appearance in Lind- say in 1916. In her early life she attended public school at Oakwood. From there she entered Lindsay C. I. The beginning of her business education was made in Baker ' s School at Lindsay, and after learning all possible there she thought she would try her luck at O.L.C. Isabel has been studying Dramatics and Cooking along with her Commercial work, and was elected the President of the Commercial Class. In sports she took an active part, being on the winning intra-mural basketball team. Next year Isabel will enter the business world as a full ' fledged secretary. We wish her great success. Hobby — Trying to break the speed limit. Favourite Expression — When will I get all this work done? RUTH MERCER The best of wisdom is a cheerful grin. Ruth, when she was born in Channel, Newfoundland, on June 16, 1917, surpris- ed everyone by insisting on keeping her thumb in her mouth. She went to various grade schools in the home land and then decided to see how things were with the Canadians. She was really about to enter another of Ontario ' s good schools, but hear- ing of O.L.C. ' s exceptional qualities, came here. Ruth has been with us for two years, excelling in music and her commercial stud- ies. She is going to Toronto to manage the affairs of a big concern there. Hobby — Sneaking out after fourth bell. Favourite Expression — You don ' t love me any more. MARGARET MOFFATT Then the good steed ' s rein she took, and his neck did kiss and stroke. Margaret was born on August 1, 1915, in Ottawa. After attending Elgin Street Public School and Lisgar C. I. she arrived at O.L.C. to take her Senior Matriculation and has proved herself a jolly member of the Senior Class. Peggy was elected Vice- President of the S.C.M. and has filled that position capably. Riding is her chief interest in school sports. Queen ' s University will probably claim Peggy next year. Anyway we wish her the best of success. Hobby — Riding. Favourite Expression — If I were you, I ' d have an operation. ETHEL ROBERTSOX Scots wa hae. Ethel was born in Coniston on June 6, 1916. She attended school there, obtained her entrance, and took two years ' high school. Then she went to Bishop Strachan School in Toronto for three years. The call of the north became too great for her, how- ever, and she returned to attend Sudbury High School. Illness kept Ethie out of school for the greater part of the year, and so she came to O.L.C. to obtain her Senior Matric- ulation. She was a player on the second bas- ketball team and took part in the riding meet on May Day. Next year she intends to go to the University of Toronto to major in English and History. -A sentimental gentleman from Hobby- Georgia. Favourite Expression — There ought to be a law. Page Thirteen

Maxwell Constance McCloskey President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Donna McClarty Margaret Alger Sty? pttinr Satire Hall telephones rang! Seniors rushed from room to room. Juniors darted about lending a helping hand to the heroines of the evening. That was the occasion of the Senior At-Home on Friday, February 21, the most anticipated event of the senior year. The eager enthusiasm which had arisen many weeks before did not lessen as the hour approached. Guests began to arrive about half past eight, and before long a number of smiling young people were on their way to the gymnasium. There a gaily decorated room awaited them. The efforts which the girls had made to transform the gymnasium into a room befitting the occasion were very successful. Blue and blue streamers and multi-coloured balloons swayed lightly overhead. Standards filled with beautiful flowers, easy chairs, and lamps completed the ensemble. As the guests entered the gymnasium they were received by Dr. and Mrs. Car- scallen, Miss A. Maxwell, Professor and Mrs. Sissons, Miss B. Maxwell the class teacher, and Constance McCloskey, the Senior president. The delightful music was supplied by Hal Taylor ' s five-piece orchestra. The dance programs were varied by Paul Jones, balloon and novelty dances. Supper was served in the Common Room and Main Hall by the Juniors, after which dancing was resumed. At half past one the strains of Dear Old Trafalgar brought to a close one of the most enjoyable occasions of the year. This year the Seniors displayed their histrionic ability in a production of what someone has called that glorious logician ' s holiday, Alice in Wonderland. From the time the White Rabbit first scampered across the stage until the last lusty cry of off with her head, the audience followed with obvious delight the wonderful and fearful adventures of Alice, played by Elaine Goodsell. The characterizations, we thought, were especially good. Remember the Cheshire Cat and the Dormouse? Ethel Robertson gave a very effective rendering of Beautiful Soo-oo-p! After the stunt and the Senior Song, sung for the first time, Miss B. Maxwell was presented with a lovely bouquet of spring flowers. Then all withdrew to the Common Room and refresh- ments were served by the Seniors. junior B ' tunt
