JOYCE TAPLIH To know her better is to love her more. Early one July morning, 1923, a squawking baby was born in Toronto to the Taplin family. The first word Joyce uttered was not the traditional Da-da or Ma-ma but Don — or was it Geoff ? After such a promising start in life her parents decided it would be an excellent idea if she acquired some book learning so she spent some years at St. Clement ' s School, followed by North Toronto Col- legiate. Three years ago she came to O.L.C. Having passed through the stages of Happy Medium a nd Jolly Junior she has now become a Sweet Senior. Next year she plans to study Music and Dramatics in England. Best of luck in everything, Joy! Hobby — Doing things for others. Favourite Saying — Oh gosh! RUTH ELAIHE THOMSOH A brush in the hand is worth two in the palette.

Senior Class Officers! Honorary President Class Teacher President (Until May) Marjorie Thal (From May on) Mary-Elisabeth Aitken (Until Easter) Jean Gordon Geraldine Muter Miss Maxwell Miss Taylor Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer QTtje Senior ©ance After long hours of waiting and preparation, the night of the Senior Dance finally came. We Seniors who have seen the Senior dance other years, appreciated it to the full this year I think, because for the first time we were dancing instead of looking on. Among the factors upon which the dance depended, and which added to its success were the decorations, which were nicer than usual. Our thanks to Miss Jaques and the Art students for that. The gym. was transformed into a romantically dim, moonlit garden, and the garden motif was even carried out in the ice cream, which was in the shape of pink roses. Unfortunately the roses were a little, shall we say, - — hard to disintegrate! However, that only added to the merriment. Too soon the hour of departure came, and we hade our partners good night. Of course we were careful not to pursue them too far toward the door. This year on Friday, March twenty-fourth, the Senior Class presented Sis Perkins with Ruth Williams playing the title role. The plot concerns another country girl who makes good, but how she does it is by no means dull. Quite the opposite. Will you ever forget Anne Griffith as Count Gaston de Long? or Helen Haggan as Baldwin Chandler? These characters and the many humorous incidents in the play make it unforgettable, especially to those taking part, judging from the loud laughter resounding from the practices held in the Reception Room. Although they had little time for practising, the play was a great success. The new stage set made by the Art students and designed by Ruth Williams, reminded us all of some New York penthouse, and added a great deal of atmosphere to the play. The speeches were prepared, the tables decorated in the candle-lit dining room. It was the night of April twenty-first, the night of the Senior dinner of O.L.C., the event which marks the beginning of the end of our school year. The tables were all beautifully decorated, but the Senior table looked especially attractive. In the middle of the table stood a sweet girl graduate which we found out later was Lita ' s doll dressed up in a cap and gown with a bouquet of roses and a diploma in her arms. The girl graduate was surrounded by red tulips and there were bouquets of red tulips at either end of the long table. At each Senior ' s place was a silver coffee spoon, in the traditional pine tree pattern, the gift of the Juniors, and the place cards were little mortar boards. All these things carried out the Senior Class Colours — red, green and silver. After a delicious dinner, not fully enjoyed perhaps by those making speeches, the Toastmaster, Dr. Carscallen, proposed the toast to the King. After this followed the toasts to Our Country, Alma Mater, The Faculty, the Senior Class, the Other Classes, Student Organizations and the College Press. ©be gllumnae ©ea On Monday, May eighth, the Seniors and the Faculty were entertained at the home of Mrs. R. G. Grohb, of Whitby, by the Castle Chapter of the Alumnae. While Efje Mentor tunt (Efje Senior Bfnner
