(Sf)e Commercial € nsii The Commercial Class has had a very pleasant and full year. In fact it was so enjoyable that the idea of parting brings regrets, but as we scatter, we send along with each of these prospective secretaries, wishes for a useful and pleasant future. We worked very hard to master the intricacies of business — even the plaster fell before us, although the autumn rains may have had a share in that. Miss Irma Wright, in her visit to us in January, inspired us to excell in typewriting. A picnic was suggested to revive us after examinations, and so it did, on June 4. The hot dogs were delicious although we found several flies in our mustard. Two special honours came to our class when Jean Taylor was elected holder of the Strathcona Shield, and Elizabeth Correll won the Tennis Singles. We feel that our year has been an all-round and a successful one, in fact, another best year. The secret of our success is Miss Willson. Not only has she been our main-stay but we have found in her a grand personality and a sincere friend. We wish her every success — thank you, Miss Willson. tltje rt ©cparlment The Art Department was again under the able direction of Miss Betty Mc- Naught. The work was varied and of great interest to those of us who did not actually take classes, as well as to those who did. We are deeply indebted to this branch of the school for all the fine murals, shields and place cards which have made our dances and dinners the colourful successes that they have been. Also, without the guidance of the art students, how could the table decorations have been given that finished air at the Senior dinner? However, the Art Studio lives not only for this. Last year, the Carnegie In- stitute presented our Art Library with two fine units of work valued at $2,000.00. These units are comprised of a set of books on the art of every period and country, and a set containing the reproductions of great paintings. This year an exchange exhibit was held with Upper Canada College. Due to this exchange our own exhibit held the same night as the Senior Recital was not complete. Under Miss McNaught, the students studied anatomy, and the resulting skele- tons. They worked at charcoal studies, water-colours, design, oils, modelling and at the end of the year, sculpturing. The students owe very much to Miss McNaught who has been their kind ad- viser and helpful critic. I ouflictolb Science when school opened it was only a few enthusiastic members who found their way down to the bowels of the earth, but as the months went by more and more came to swell the ranks of those who would learn the age-old arts of the home. Soon we were making cookies, cakes and pies. Did they taste good? The scales bear testimony to our enjoyment of them. Or ask those present at the S.C.M. bazaar, for which we provided sandwiches, cakes, cookies and candy galore. The peak of our culinary accomplishment was reached when we struggled, with much trembling and rattling of dishes, to serve meals in the Household Science dining room. Then of course there is the sewing class, whose new wardrobes were the envy of many. Everyone got a chance to see what they really had done when, during Commencement week, they turned mannequins and exhibited their gowns. Three of our number graduated this year and expect to continue their study in Dietetics in some of the Toronto hospitals. The Homemakers, we hope, will con- tinue their homemaking. Altogether it has been a very happy and worthwhile year. — Page Ticeuty-Nine

liomtx cfjool Due to the small number of girls in each class this year, the Sophomores, Freshmen and Elementaries joined together in one class that went under the name of Lower School. Class Teacher President Vice-President Secretary ' Treasurer Miss Loghead Valerie Farewell Joan Campbell Beth Bothwell The first excitement of the year came for us when we put on our stunt last fall, the main feature of which was The Chariot Race from Ben Hur. We were remarkably well represented in athletics by Joan Campbell who won the Junior Championship, both on Field Day, and at the Swimming Meet. We would like to thank Miss Lochead for her great and ready assistance, throughout a very successful year. CLASS YELL: Say!! What? That ' s what! What ' s what? That ' s what they all say!

The May Queen ' s Procession iWap Bap May Day dawned this year bright and clear but it was disappointing to see the sky cloud up early in the morning. However during the ceremonies the sun shone through at intervals to make the occasion a little more gay than it always is. At 10.30 all gathered in the Concert Hall to hear the address given by Mrs. G. A. Brickenden. Mrs. Brickenden charmed all the girls and won their interest completely with her story of her own school days here, closing by impressing upon her audience the importance of high ideals and the best in life. After everyone had taken their places on the oval in front of the school and the grand march was finished, our May Queen and her councillors, Louise Marshall — looking especially the ideal woman — and Jean Pollard and Eleanor Perkins proceeded to the Throne. Louise was crowned by Mrs. Brickenden and Jean Taylor pinned the traditional pin on Louise. Jean herself received the beautiful pin given by the Castle Chapter as a lasting remem ' brance of her honour. The programme was a most interesting one and the second ■attempt at a riding exhibition quite a success. The usual picnic in the afternoon and movies in the evening brought the May Day of ' 37 to a close.
