8rt This year the Art Department under the very able direction of Miss Betty Jaques had a varied and interesting time. The art students did their best to make a success of all special occasions. There were the flower garden murals for the senior dance, the set for the senior play, and decorations for the parties and dinners. In the studio, drawing, painting, and crafts went on all year. Several beautiful costumes were designed and completed. The interior decorating class of full time art students spent many days in Toronto studying furniture- at the museum and furniture stores. This class did a mural for the nursery of Animals of the World which was very interesting. In the last term this class went to several places of interest to sketch in water colours and oils. The looms were busy and the hammers going, and out of wool, clay and metal objects of use and beauty appeared. The art room has been a hilarious and happy place, but it has accomplished a great deal. ousefjolb Science Department This year, as usual, the Household Science Department assisted at some of the important College functions. Under the capable and expert supervision of Miss Eckersley, the girls pre pared the refreshments for the Parents ' Reception, the S.C.M. Bazaar and the Senior Recital. The dresses displayed by the girls, at the Fashion Show, were distinctively their own design and make, and were definitely as smart as anything that Vogue might display. The girls of the cooking class will not soon forget the good times and fun which accompanied their tasks, and many of them can now boast that they have mastered the culinary art. All of you, no doubt, have caught the delightful (not always!) aromas from the Household Science kitchen, and curiosity has gripped each one as to what new recipe has been attempted, down there. The successful products were proudly displayed to room-mates; the unsuccessful — little do we know of their fate. All in all, however, there were few casualties, and we might venture to say, that, if the way to a man ' s heart is through his stomach, then, there is some hope, girls! But don ' t be too sure — ' Cause Cookin ' s lak religion is — Some ' s ' lected an ' some aint, An ' rules don ' no mo ' mek a cook Den sermons mek a saint. — Weeden. Ef)e Commercial Claw The Commercial class this year has been represented in all fields. One of the greatest honours which the school bestows is that of the May Queen, and Gerry Muter, a commercial student, was elected May Queen this year. Grace Hemphill won the tennis singles and Grace Dibben was on the Year Book staff. A much larger list of our merits could be made if space permitted. Of course our main interest was in the commercial work itself, in typing, short- hand, spelling, bookkeeping and so on. Each of us had a favourite subject, and a hated one. In all of them, though, Miss Kitchen ' s help was priceless, and without her they would all have been impossible. We could not get along without any entertainment at all, so one fine winter evening we went for a sleigh-ride which was lots of fun, and when we returned we had hot-dogs and coffee. All in all this year has been a successful one for the Commercial class, and a profitable one too.

4% ' -- ■ Our class this year was composed of the Elementaries, the Freshmen, and the Sophomores. We feel that we have had an exceptionally energetic year because we have been represented by some class member in practically every activity which has taken place. Many thanks are due to Miss Lochead for her help and interest in our class work, and praise to the Elementaries for the little song which they composed and which was sung by them at the Senior Dinner. We ' re the Elementaries of O.L.C. We never drink coffee, and we never drink tea, We go to bed at nine o ' clock ' Cause we ' re the babies of O.L.C. Our teacher ' s name is Miss J. Scythes, She ' s very witty and she ' s very wise, She ' s lots of fun and our work ' s all done When we ' re tutored by Miss J. Scythes. We ' re a class of eight, And we ' re never late, We return to school on the given date, We obey each rule ' cause we love our school, The school of the blue and blue. Patje Twenty-eight

May twentyfourth dawned bright and fair, but alas, soon dark clouds began to hide the sun, and it looked as though rain would pour down at any moment. However, after we had heard Rev. Mr. Cockram ' s fine speech, and by the time we were ready to begin the exercises on the lawn in honour of the May Queen, the sun was shining beautifully. Gerry Muter was elected May Queen this year, and her councillors were Margaret Houston and Gwen Forrester. Mrs. Cockram crowned the May Queen, after which the latter took her place on her throne to view the exercises on the lawn. These were especially good this year, due to Miss SnelFs efforts, particularly the pyramids and the dances, composed and executed by first form. After they were over, we all moved en masse to the athletic field, where the riding com ' petitions were held. Dorothy Leggett won the Senior riding and Annette Common won the Junior. After a delicious luncheon at which the May Queen was the honoured guest, we all piled into buses and went to the movies in Oshawa. The annual May Day picnic was not held this year, due to the proximity of exams., but we had a picnic in the Junior orchard after the movies. And after that? — Study! Page Thirty
