LILLIAH HACKIHG ' ' She looked wise, which was just as good as understanding and much less trouble. Nineteen years ago on March the 3rd the population of the Peace River District was increased by one Lillian Hacking. She spent her Public School days at Olds, Al- berta, and later went to Moose Jaw, Sask- atchewan, where she obtained her Senior Matric. In 1941 she enrolled at O.L.C. to take a one year Commercial Course and next year will be entering the business world, where we wish her every success. Hobby — Riding. Favourite Saying — How do you spell it? ROSALIE HOLLIHG Thy spirit bends itself to loving tasks. Rosalie uttered her first cry on July 29, 1924, in Consecon, Ontario. When she was ten months old the Holling family moved to Theresa, New York. After eight years their residence was changed to New Rochelle. and in 1935 to Watertown. Shortly after this the Hollings came to Can- ada, where they made their home in New Liskeard. Rosalie came to O.L C. when she was in first form. She has taken an active part in all the school activities and this year be- came Honour Club President. She has ably filled this position and has kept law and order in the school. Rosalie ' s interest in athletics has won her several honours, among them first place in the Swimming Meet. Next year she intends to enter To- ronto General Hospital and obtain her R.N. We wish you su:cess, Rosalie, and all our hopes go with you. Hobby — Sports. Favourite Saying — Holy cow! ESTHER MAHOH It is not enough to do good: one must do it the right way. Esther was born in Taber, Alberta, where she attended Public School and skip- ped High School classes, but nevertheless graduated in 1941. She then came to O.L.C, where she has contributed a great deal to the life of the College through her music. We hope she may return for a post graduate year, but in any case we wish her success and happiness. Hobby — Music. Favourite Saying — Yea, Taber! ]OrCE ]EHKIHS With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come. Joyce was born in Oakwood, April 17th, 1923. Here she attended Public School and later went to Lindsay Collegiate. In the fall of 1940 she came to O.L.C, and after reviewing each department she decided that Miss Acton ' s Household Science Room looked cosy enough, so she took up her abode there and at the end of this year we find her graduating in a Household Science Course. We wish her the best of luck and happiness m the future. Hobby — Tank Corps. Favourite Saying — Where ' s he to? B£TTT MACKDVTOSH Countenance that warms and lights the heart of the beholder. One mid-winter day, January Hth, 1923, Dr. Mackintosh had the honour of passing out cigars. This happened in the little town of Amherst when Betty entered the world. She attended the Amherst Public School for nine years and during this time began her athletic career, playing on the basket-ball team and riding in horse-shows. After one year in the Amherst High School, Betty came to O.L.C, where she has con- tributed much to the life of the school, winning second place in the Senior Public Speaking Contest; and in Athletics win- ning the Field Trophy, the Badminton Singles Trophy, the Badminton Doubles Troph y with Dorothy Richards, and .the Honourary Instructor ' s Certificate in Swim- ming.

HESTA CHAPPELL Such as it is, then, pass life pleasantly. On July 20, 1924, Nesta first opened her eyes in Oshawa. She gained her pubhc school and early collegiate education in that city, and 1939 found Nesta taking her schooling at Hatfield Hall, Cobourg. At the beginning of this school year she came to O.L.C., where she is taking her Senior Matric. She has taken a great interest in athletics and especially in basketball. Next year she plans to take Home Economics at Trinity College, Toronto, and we wish her the best of luck. Hobby — Speaking Welsh. Favourite Expression — Ach y vi. ISABEL CHERRY The sunshine of her tender eyes makes bright the darkest day. Izzy, our most popular musician and councillor of the May Court, was born nineteen years ago in the city of North Bay. For eighteen years she charmed the students of North Bay High School with her musi- cal abilities, and then decided to join the ranks of O.L.C. Here she has endeared herself to all by smilingly offering her much appreciated talents at many functions. The only black page in Izzy ' s biography would seem to be her ambition to return to North Bay and become — of all things — a school ' teacher! However, in the light of all her virtues we forgive even this, and wish her the best of everything in the years to come. Hobby — Piano. Favourite Saying — I think it ' s mean. RUTH COHEK Work fascinates me; I love to sit and look at it for hours. On April 14th, 1924, Ottawa received an addition to her population. Ruth went to school first at Osgoode, and later to Lis- gar Collegiate, where she completed her Junior Matriculation. In September she came to O.L.C. to get her Senior Matric. Ruth is interested in sports and dramatics and has whole-heartedly entered into them here. Next year she plans to go to McGill to study social service. Good luck Ruth! Hobby — Piano. Favourite Saying — May I borrow the funny papers, Zerlina? PEGGT EKDEAH Good, the more Communicated, more abundant grows. In Richmond Hill on June 11th, 1923, little Peggy first saw the light of day. She attended Richmond Hill Public and High Schools, and this year came to O.L.C. Peggy has taken an active part in drama- tics and athletics. She was Secretary- Treasurer of the Student Christian Move- ment and is Assistant Editor of the Year Book. She hopes to enter the business world next autumn, and we wish her the best of luck. Hobby — Dancing. Favourite Saying — Oh gosh. BETTY FERGVSOK I like to work. I really do. But I like a little dancing too. On July 15th, 1924, in the Winnipeg General Hospital, Pepper first opened her eyes to the world. Winnipeg was her home until four years ago, when she moved to Delhi, Ontario. In 1940 O.L.C. became her home, where she studied for and secur- ed her fourth form. During the past year Betty has taken the one year Dietetic Course, in which she graduates. Next year is undecided, but whatever she chooses to do we know that she will be successful. Good luck, Pepper. Hobby — Dancing and swimming. Favourite Saying — Oh pooh. PATTl GERVAH Bid me discourse. I will enchant thine ear. The fact that a timber wolf was seen to pass in front of a certain doctor ' s car one bright morning in Chalk River, Ontario, seems to have brought good fortune to Patti ' s future. During the next few years she moved around to different towns in the Ottawa Valley, but finally settled down in Myrtle. In third form she came to O.L.C. and has occupied herself ever since in win- ning honours and prizes in everything, and this year she is Valedictorian of her class. Some day she hopes to become a great jour- nalist, and we all know that she will suc- ceed. Hobby — Planning her New Republic. Favourite Saying — Now, when we take over the government — . 5 .

Twenty years ago, on the 28th of Febru- ary, Frieda Maria Reynolds first brightened the world with her presence. This little lady was born in Hohenkirsch, Germany, and there she attended a girls ' school for five years. In 1932 Frieda came to Canada and took up residence in Windsor. There, like all good little girls, she attended Public School and the Patterson Collegiate Institute. This year Frieda came to O.L.C. and has successfully completed a one-year Commer- cial Course.

MARJORIE RUDDLE For if she will, she will, you may depend on ' t. And if she won ' t, she ivont. and there ' s an end on ' t. The parents of Marjorie Ruddle had their first gray hairs on January 10th, 1921. It rained all day in Torquay (that ' s in Dev- onshire), so Puddle was fittingly named. She has never been an idle soul, but has constantly moved on from place to place, arriving at length from St. Hilda ' s, Whit- by, England, to O.L.C, Whitby, Canada, where she has added to her attainments the useful arts of the Commercial Course. She has been ' Vice-President of the Athletic As- sociation and business manager of the Year Book. Her plans for next year are not yet decided, but here are our good wishes for the best of luck.

Jean, who has won our hearts this year both with her lovely voice and her co-oper- ative way, was born in Brantford, Ont., in 1923. She went to both public school and collegiate in Brantford and this year came to O.L.C. to take a one-year Commercial Course and music. She has excelled in both, and we are sure that her determina- tion and abilities will see her through all she attempts. Jean, you have the girls of O.L.C. to back you up. Hobby — Sipging. Favourite Saying — Everything happens to me. MARIE VAHCE If her soul has no sweet song, it cannot live. SmithviUe has been the home of Marie ever, since she was born nineteen years ago.
