MAR]ORIE McRAE Steadfast is her friendship, Her word as true as steel. Marj. arrived in the little town of Bar- rie ' s Bay on June 25, 1922, and has carried with her ever since the sunny atmosphere of that bright day. Not more than three years later we find Marj. in Eaganville. Here she attended public school, but at ten she moved to Whitney. In the fall of 38 Marj. packed her bags and set out for O.L.C., registering as a Junior. She returned this year to obtain her Honour Matric. Although her plans for the future are as yet undecided, whatever they be we wish her the best of luck. Pastime — Exercising her feet after lights out. Favourite Saying — That ' s right! ELEAHOR QUAHCE ••She has wit and song and sense Mirth and sport and eloquence. One fine summer ' s day, almost twenty years ago, a tiny, winsome baby girl who possessed the gift of song was born in the town of Delhi, Ont. Quancy attended the public school of Delhi and obtained the major part of her Senior Matric. at the High School in Sim- coe, Ont. The fall of ' 39 found her at O.L.C., concentrating on Music and Dra- matics. She proved her capability by filling the position of Vice-Pres. of the S.C.M. suc- cessfully. Chosen as a Councillor to the May Queen, she was most gracious and sweet. Next year Quancy plans to attend Nor- mal School in Toronto, where she will spe- cialize in Kindergarten work. We wish her every success. Pastime — Getting permission to go to To- ronto. Favourite Saying — Aha! she cried, as she winked her wooden eyelash. JAHE CAROL REHWICK Music, hath charm, hut the musician hath more. Jane Carol Renwick, familiarly known as J.C., first heard music, .the sighs of ador ing parents, at Stratford on March 3, 1922. She attended public school in Welles- ley, high school in Palmerston, and finally came to O.L.C. to complete her matric and to study music. J.C. was on both the basketball and archery teams. Her acting ability was shown to us when she played Flossie in the Senior play. However, J.C. ' s chief interest lies in music. She hopes to get her A.T.C.M. in both voice and piano. Whatever she does, we know she ' ll succeed for Her eyes and manner bespeak ambition. Pastime — Participating in sports. Favourite Saying — Oh! hat! KATHRTH SIEGHER The noblest mind, the best contentment has. Kay first smiled upon the world on May 30, 1922, in Kitchener, Ont. In her early years Kay attended several Public Schools in her native city, and later was a co-ed of the Kitchener Collegiate Institute. She came to O.L.C. this year bringing with her great ability, part of her Senior Matric and lots of fun. We shall miss Kay next year and wc sincerely hope that she will often look for- ward with eager anticipation to her Home Comings. Good luck in everything you undertake, Kay. Pastime — Pestering Ro when she is read- ing. Favourite Saying — It ' s a riot kids, Hon- est! ETHEL WEBER Not too quiet, not too gay. But a real good sport in her own quiet way. Ethel was born on Feb. 2, 1921, in the fair city of Kitchener. There she graduated from Suddaby Public Schml and Kitchener- Waterloo Collegiate. In the fall of ' 39, she decided to enter O.L.C. ' s ranks as a commercial student. Ethel is interested in sports, especially swimming in which she excels as a life saver. Ethel ' s plans are rather uncertain, but we expect she will step into the big busi- ness world and show them just how book- keeping should be done. Here ' s hoping for her the very best of luck and happiness. Pastnne — Doing Shorthand. Favourite Saying — Never mind, little girl. Page Thirteen

AUDREY HODGKIHSOH She has her own ideas of what ' s what. Audrey first saw the light of day at Port Arthur on Oct. 9, 1920. After completing her High School education there, she de- cided that O.L.C. was the place for her, so she came to take a Commercial Course. She is very fond of all sports and has shown a great deal of enthusiasm in them while here, especially tennis, badminton, basketball and in addition to these Hodgie is a camera fiend. Hodgie won the Tennis Singles, as well as the Doubles. Next year we believe that she intends to be a secretary. We know that she will be a big help to some struggling firm. ' 1 May you have every success in the future, Hodgie ! Pastime — Collecting Souvenirs. Favourite Saying — Gee, I am so happy BETTY HUHGERFORD A wise and understanding heart. Betty made her debut to society at Lum- ina, on Dec. 30, 1922. Her mother was her loving teacher until she entered the little yellow school house on top of the hill in 1929. In ' 37 she came to dear old Trafalgar to continue her studies and will no doubt obtain her Senior Matric. this year with flying colours. She has proved to be an able horsewoman, besides taking part in archery, swimming, etc. Betty, as Honour Club President, has successfully filled the position and this year was elected holder of the Strathcona Shield, which is indeed a great honour. She intends to Camp at Varsity next year and we all wish her the best of luck in whatever course she attempts. Pastime — Writing in her diary. Favourite Saying — Oh! fluff! RUTH KEEHE Good sport in all good tilings. Ruth first laughed her way into this world in Sept. 1921 at London, Ont. Hav- ing obtained her earlier education at the Tecumseh Public School, she attended the London C.I. for a few years and in the fall of ' 39 came on to O.L.C. to complete her Senior Matric. and take a course in Art, in which she has done some very fine work. As Ruth is enthusiastic in all kinds of sports — swimming, tennis, riding, bad- minton and archery, excelling in archery, she has fulfilled her duties as Vice-Pres. of the Athletic Club. In the Badminton Tournament, Ruth won the Singles. She made a great job of impersonating a French saleswoman in the Senior Play. Her plans for the next year as yet are indefinite but whatever she decides to do, here ' s to her success. Pastime — Drawing cartoons in Study Hall. Favourite Saying — So help me!! SHEILA McKEHZIE She has her own ideas on what ' s what. ' Sunny was the day in the year 1921 when Sheila became a permanent member of the McKenrie family of Toronto. Never would there be a dull moment while Sheila was on hand with her sweet smile and de- lightfully curly hair. Sheila attended St. Clements school be- fore she came to O.L.C. in 1937 and this year she is expected to graduate with high honours especially in vocal and piano. When she receives her A.T.C.M. she may proceed with her music and yet, on the other hand, rumour has it that she would like to be a spy. However, whatever she may attempt, we feel certain that she will succeed in it and with her go very best wishes from everyone at O.L.C. Pastime — Peters. Favourite Saying — Simply perfect, my dear, simply perfect. ANNABEL McKAT A sunny disposition is the very soul of success. Annabel happened along in Orono, Ont., one fine Hallowe ' en night, 1918. After obtaining her early education in Orono and Colbourne she attended Albert College, Belleville for two years. In the fall of ' 38, she came to O.L.C. as a member of the Household Science Department and is grad- uating in Dietetics. Ann has not neglected to take part in various athletic activities of the school and is a real enthusiast in riding, swimming and skating. At the close of school she is planning to enter Wellesley Hospital as a student Die- titian. We know she will be successful, and wish her the best of luck and happiness. Pastime — Going home for week-ends. Favourite Saying — Can anyone sell me a chocolate bar?

S entor Class (Officers Honourary President ■ ■ Miss Maxwell Class Teacher - - - Miss Taylor President ' ' - Beatrice Bullen Vice-President ' - Janet Montgomery-Moore Secretary-Treasurer - - Marjorie Snelgrove tKfje Mentor ©ance At last the night (which some of us had been looking forward to for four years) arrived. The Seniors, most of whom a short time before had been liberally bespeckled with paint, having gotten almost as much on themselves as on the murals, but now all looking their best, led their partners to the gym, which had been completely transformed for the occasion. We found ourselves standing on the verandah of a Venetian palace, overlooking the canals on which gondolas were floating in the moonlight. We owed this to Ruth Keene, who designed and, for the most part, painted the murals. The four-piece orchestra did nobly until the arrival of reinforcements a short time after- wards but everyone enjoyed the music anyway. Too soon the hour of departure came and we seniors all hobbled off to bed, dreading 7.30 when we had to rise and put our noses to the grindstone on account of approaching exams! ®be Mentor Binner Everyone had worked hard all week but the Seniors, with the exception, of course, of those who had speeches to struggle through. The event was the Senior Dinner on the night of April fifth. As the graduating class entered the dining room, they were pleasantly surprised (for not one of us knew a thing about it) to see the most attractive and original decorations on the Senior table. The placecards depicted the Juniors 1 conception of what the ultimate fate of each Senior would be, and how true some of them were! The flowers and tapers were yellow, green, and mauve, the Class colours. In front of each place was a coffee spoon, the traditional gift of the Juniors to the Seniors. After a sumptuous repast, thanks to Miss Crosthwaite and her staff, Dr. Carscallen, the toastmaster, rose and proposed a toast to the King. This was followed by toasts to Our Country, Alma Mater, the Faculty, the Senior Class, the Other Classes, Student Organizations and the College Press. {Ef)e Pernor tunt The Senior Class production this year was called The. French Maid and the Phonograph with Mary Lou playing the title role (the French Maid!) She was supported by Billie who was just another of those pesky kid-sisters who are the bane of their elders ' existence, in this case J. C. Renwick and Quancy. Who will ever forget Keene as Madame Renard? or Dickie with her chafing dish? and did we think Janet could look so studious! and Sheila so much like a real Parisian? Although time for practicing was scarce, everyone rose to the occasion and ad libbed where their memories failed them, and so made the play a howling success (even if we do say it ourselves!) Ef)e glumnae tCea The Castle Chapter entertained the Senior Class at their annual tea at the home of Mrs. Leo Gray, Simcoe Street, Oshawa, on May 27. We met our friends of the Alumnae in the garden and chatted with them until tea was served. We wish to thank these ladies for being so kind as to entertain us. Page Fourteen
