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

OTelcome to Jtliss isisions We welcome to our rn dst Miss Sissons, the new Dean of our College. Miss Sissons has travelled widely abroad and her experience thus gained on the Continent and also at Ontario High Schools where she previously taught have all helped her to attain the qualifications of a cap ' able and understanding Dean. Miss Sissons has had before her a very difficult tas and we believe that she has succeeded in capably fidfilUng the position of Dean of our College. Let those of us who return m the Fall pledge ourselves to give every possible assistance to Miss Sissons during the next years when she will be with us. We hope that you have enjoyed this, your first year at O.L.C., Miss Sissons, and that you will continue to be happy here during the years that follow. Page Ten
