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.

Senior Clag?; (j fficerg Honorary President Miss Maxwell Class Teacher Miss Kennedy President . , , , Jean McIntyre Vice-President - - ' Pat Lill Secretary - ' - ' Beth Howell Treasurer - - - Margaret Hillis W t Senior Bance After weeks of waiting and preparation, the 27th of February at last arrived, and Seniors hurried through the halls in excited anticipation. The Juniors hastened to lend a helping hand, and the girls made themselves beautiful while listening anxiously for the buzzer. Pat Lill and Rosalie HoUing, with the help of the rest of the class and, of course, Miss Jaques ' able assistance, had transformed the gym with gaily coloured Egyptian murals, huge pillars concealing the indirect lighting, and many bright balloons. The happy Seniors and their partners danced, drank punch, and ate the delicious supper served by the envious Juniors in the Common Room and Main Hall. All too soon, the evening was over, and good-byes were being said. Soon all lights were out, but weary Seniors continued to dance each dance again, and Juniors planned happily for next year. d)e Senior la| The acting ability of the Senior Class was this year revealed in their exciting mystery play, Mumbo Jumbo. From the beginning, comedy and drama fought for supremacy, leaving the school shrieking and laughing in turn. Sixteen members of the class t(.X)k part, while the others efficiently managed the direction, costumes, and properties. Rosalie Holling and Betty Mackintosh ably played the parts of dashing college boys, with Betty Ferguson in the role of Rosalie ' s none too welcome wife, Peaches. The law was well represented by Connie McKeen, Marian Buell and Jean McIntyre. Pat Lill portrayed Tweety , the simple country lass, and mystery and horror were introduced by the excellent acting of the rest of the cast. At the end of the play, the Seniors sang their class song for the first time, and music and refreshments rounded out a thoroughly enjoyable evening. i:i)e Senior Binner With April 17 came the Senior Dinner, and everyone but Seniors hurried on mysterious errands and whispered about decorations. The centre-piece of the Senior table was The House of Mumbo Jumbo, and the favours and place cards took the form of the characters from the Senior play. Tapers and flowers in silver and maroon adorned the table, and each Senior received the traditional gift from the Juniors — a silver coffee spoon in the Pine Tree pattern. The other tables were also attractively decorated in their class colours. After a delicious dinner, thanks to Miss Guest and her staff. Dr. Carscallen, t he toastmaster, proposed a toast to The King Next came toasts to Our Country. Alma Mater, the Faculty, the Senior Class, the Other Classes, Student Organizations, and the College Press, and the evening ended as we all joined hands to sing Auld Lang Syne.
