LOUISE SKUrEZKY Eager for work and wisdom. Born m the romantic setting of old Vien- na on a sunny August day, 1923, Louise has led a rather thrilling life. After spend- ing the first few weeks of her life in Aus- tria she was moved to Prague, Czecho-Slo- vakia, where she stayed until 1938. When a German invasion threatened their native land the Skutezky family moved to Switzer- land, then to England, where Louise learn- ed to speak the English language. After a year in England they came to Canada and Louise entered O.L.C. Here she has been one of our keenest students. This year she was secretary of the S.C.M. and popu- larly voted one of the May Queen ' s coun- cillors. By the way, Louise must have some specific power over horses, because nearly every time she gets on Lilian the horse quietly sinks to her knees in humble submission and rolls over. Next year Louise intends to continue her studies in University. Luck be with you, Louise! Hobby — Riding. Favourite Saying — Oh kids, I haven ' t got my Latin done!

Senior Class 0(i ttvi Honorary President Class Teacher President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Miss Maxwell Miss Hill Ollie Koleff Violet Andress Margaret Dibben Kathleen Glynn Cfte Senior Bance Telephones and buzzers were ringing, telegrams and flowers pouring in, seniors making themselves beautiful and Juniors rushing around to lend a helping hand here and put a finishing touch there. Why? It was the 21st of February, the evening of that all-important event, the senior dance. The gym had been very effectively decor- ated by the art department as an Elizabethan hall with panelled walls. A large portrait of a gentleman of the period of Charles I hung behind the orchestra. At nine o ' clock the seniors entered with their partners and the dance started, everyone being in the best of spirits. A 7 -piece orchestra supplied the music and envious juniors were busy serving at the punch bowl, in main hall and the common room. All too soon the manutes sped by until the strains of the National Anthem brought one of the school ' s happiest events to an end. The seniors went sorrowfully to bed to dream of their Prince Charmings, and the juniors to make plans for next year. Senior tunt On April 4th, the seniors gave us their annual stunt. This year they not only presented one play, but two, of very different character, each enjoyed by all. Friday Afternoon in a Village School composed of the majority of the senior class, was the first to delight the audience. The title speaks for itself — and so did the pupils! A Room in the Tower depicted the life or Lady Jane Grey and her struggles with her cousin Mary. Four members of the class fascinated their listeners by displaying this. The plays were ably directed by Peggy McCallum and Betty Forman. The seniors have never let us down when it comes to a stunt, and this year ' s class did not fail to keep up the tradition. Their class song is hard to equal and remained on our lips for many days after. Page Fifteen
