Jforehjorb With the cessation of the war in Eurobe, we resume the puhlica- tion of our College Tear Boo with its record of our year together. The student hody this year has been a very representative one with students from Halifax to Vancouver, from England, and from the United States, Bermuda, Jamaica, Guatemala, and South America as well. We each have learned something from the other ' s viewpoint, and its effect on us should be to promote understanding, tolerance and respect in regard to those whose backgrounds differ much from our own. I congratulate the Editor and the Committee of Management on the completion of their enterprise and hope that the Tear Boo}{ may do mtich in preserving in memory, and perhaps deepening, the various experiences and activities of the school year. To those who go out from the school we extend best wishes for a well ' lived and happy life. Whether you go on to the University to further your education, or assume a business position, or set up a home for yourself, we trust that you will remember with pleasure your life at O.L C. and ivill cherish in your minds and hearts the things for which the College has endeavoured to stand. To the larger number of students who will be with us again in September we wish a happy and restfid holiday. C. R. Carscallen. Page Seven

Bebication to iflis!£! jWaxtoell The light of love, the purity of grace, The mind, the viusic breathing from her face. The heart whose softness harmonized the whole . . . In dedicating the 1945 editwn of the O.L.C. Year Bool{ to the lately retired Dean, Miss Maxwell, we are well aware that we are doing ourselves an honour of which our efforts are far from worthy. Annie Allison Maxwell came to O.L.C. in 191 J, and gave this College twentynine years of devoted and distinguished service. What that service has meant to the school can never he adequately esti- mated. But the fine reputation whi ch the school has always enjoyed is due m great part to her high qualities of character and administration. The esteem in which she is held in educational circles and the affection with which she is regarded hy hundreds of former students have combined to ma e the name of O.L.C. honoured and beloved not only in Ontario hut all over Canada, and m many distant parts of the world. Her wide reading and remarkable memory made each English class a rich experience for her students who under her discriminating guidance learned a love of good literature. She herself has a delicate gift of poetry. She has been much missed hy all at O.L.C, including, we are sure, the birds, the flowers, and Traffy, between whom and herself there existed a deep mutual regard. Fortunately she has been able to he with us on many important occasions during the fast year. We are grateful for her influence and for her abiding interest in the College, and we hope that she will continue to visit us as often as opportunity permits. Page Nine
