GRACE ELIZABETH HEMPHILL And cloudy the day or stormy the night, The Sky of her heart was always bright. Grace first started using the scales in 1918 in Magpie Mine. Being of a restless disposition she moved to Sault Ste. Marie, Toronto, Deloro, and then to Kingston, where she graduated from High School. Deloro called her back again but didn ' t provide enough entertainment for her so she came to O.L.C. in the fall of ' 38. She chose the Commercial course in which she has done excellent work. Grace is a top-notch piano player and has provided plenty of amusement for us. She is one of Mr. Slater ' s best pupils, and we hope she will continue her vocal studies and give as much pleasure to others as she has to us. Next year she plans to be pounding the keys in some office — but who knows? Wherever you go, Grace, or whatever you do, we all wish you every success. Lots of luck and — keep smiling! Hobby — Reducing and Tuck. Favourite Saying — I really think I ' m knocking off the odd pound! MARGARET HOUSTOH There in body but not in mind! Marg first heard the dogs bark at Tweed in 1919. At the age of nine she moved to Belleville where she attended both Public School and Collegiate. Last fall she wen- ded her way to O.L.C. where she is com- pleting her Matric. Along with this work Marg is studying Music which she expects to carry on after she leaves here. She has been a faithful member of the choir and we shall certainly miss her warbling. She is a lover of all sports and has had many a thrill out of riding this year. Marg was elected Councillor to the May Queen, which is one of the school ' s honours. She expects to attend business college next year and we are quite certain she will make an excellent secretary to some young man. All luck and good ' fortune to you Marg! Hobby — A man 6 ' 4 tall who takes size 13 shoes! Favourite Saying — Isn ' t that disgust- AHHE GRIFFITH What could be sweeter than slumber! On the 25th of January, 1918, a cold north wind blew Anne into Toronto, where she lived as a minister ' s daughter and a Chancellor ' s granddaughter. Having suc- cessfully passed her entrance at Humber- crest, in Toronto, she attended High in both Toronto and Leamington, where she now lives. After hearing a great deal about O.L.C. ' s charms, she came this year to study Art. She made a great job of impersonating a French count in the Senior play! Anne is not sure of her plans for next year, but we know she will be successful in whatever she undertakes. Hobby — Musicians. Favourite Saying — I ' m going to re- form. HELEH RAE HAGERMAH Weaving the web of Life. Helen was born in Queensborough in 1917. Before coming to O.L.C, she attend- ed Tweed High School. Although she came here late in the year she has had no trouble in keeping up with the activities of the school. She is graduating in Household Science and we feel sure she will make an efficient housewife for some young gentle- man. Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that Helen intends to stay at home next year — time will tell! Hobby — Knitting socks. Favourite Saying — Well now, I just don ' t know! HELEJi HAGGAH ' ' Eternity is before us — why hurry: ' Helen yawned her first yawn in Wood- stock, 1921, and later moved to Toronto. Since then she has followed the path of a wandering bank manager ' s family and is at present living in Haliburton. In 1936 Helen came to O.L.C. as a Medium and this year is obtaining her Senior Matric. She is a conscientious academic worker and also an enthusiastic music lover. Helen intends to enter the University of Toronto in the fall. Best of luck, Helen! Hobby — Stamp collecting. Favourite Saying — Oh my great aunt! I ' tnjc Eleven

MART-ELISABETH AITKEH If she can ' t make you laugh you ' re quite a dud. Mary-Liz greeted Cleveland, Ohio, with a lusty shout one June day in 1921, but a few weeks later, feeling the need of a change, she moved north into Muskoka and Windermere has claimed her ever since. After acquiring a knowledge of dolls and mud pies Mary decided to fvirther her edu- cation by attending Windermere Public School, but in 1934 the wanderlust seized her again and she headed for Whitby and O.L.C. Here she entered as a Freshman and this year graduates with flying colours with her Senior Matric. She is an enthusiastic music student and played on the second basketball team. She was elected Senior Class president to suc- ceed Marj Thai, and has filled this position in an admirable way. She is also editor of the Year Book. Next year Mary-Liz, intends to take a business course and continue her music in Toronto. Here ' s to success and happiness, Mary-Liz! Hobby — Decorating her room with pic- tures from Vogue. Favourite saying — Oh, you kids! GERRY MUTER Laughing lips and twinkling eyes conceal a mind that ' s wondrous icise. Gerry laughed her way into the world on February 9, 1919. Kitchener was the scene of this great event. She received her public school train- ing in the same city. After obtaining her Honour Matriculation at K-W Collegiate, she came to O.L.C. to study Household Science. In her Junior year, she very capably held the positions of vice-presi- dent of her class, and assistant editor of the Year Book. Variety is the spice of life thought Gerry, so she decided to graduate in Com- mercial. She has shown remarkable abil- ity as secretary of the Senior Class and this year was elected May Queen. Gerry has been so successful in all her undertakings that we feel sure her good fortune will continue. Hobby — Knitting a certain white sweater. Favourite Expression — Oh, I wonder if I got a letter from Bill to-day? GRACE DIBBEH She hath a daily beauty in her life. On January 6, 1919, Kitchener was made a lovelier place by the appearance of Dib- by, otherwise known as Grace Dibben. She continued to brighten that city for nineteen years, attending Public and High School there before coming to O.L.C. to win laurels in the Commercial course. As business manager of the Year Book she is doing an excellent job, though her spare time is spent in writing daily epistles to the Y.M.CA. in Toronto and helping people with their knitting. Next year Dibby hopes to be rattling a type-writer in the Mutual Life building in Kitchener. And after that — ?? A little love- cote seems to fit very well into the picture!

There she began her pub- lic school training and continued into St. Catharine ' s Collegiate. Last autumn Kay came to O.L.C. where she greatly adds to our choir — and seems to enjoy singing as much as she does everything else.

Dorothy started her active life November 13th, twenty years ago, in Ottawa where she still lives, or at least visits, between school and camp. She attended Elmwood School, Ottawa, for nine years but finally followed her sister to O.L.C., keeping up a family tradition, as her grandmother, her mother and her aunt were all O.L.C. students.
