JEANNE SIMS The day was cold and rainy, offering no one any hope, until Jeanne Sims put in her appearance in the Metrop olis of Little Current on January 10, of that fateful year of 1929. For the next sixteen years she left her mark on whatever she put her dainty fing-ers. During her seventeenth year she retreated to the studious atmosphere of the Ontario Ladies ' College to pursue her intellectual and physical train- ing. In all the years ahead of her we wish Jeanne the very best of luck in her ambition to be a good Journalist. EVA SKUTEZKY Born in Prague, Czechoslovakia, Eva Marietta came to Canada in 1939. She came to O.L.C. this year from King ' s Hall, Compton, to take her Senior Matric. An ardent swimmer, Eva gained her Life Saving Instruc- tor ' s certificate and her Silver. Congratulations! Lots of luck in training in Montreal this fall. JOAN SOMERVILLE October nineteenth, 1927, went down in the history of South Porcupine as the birthday of Joan Hilda Somerville. After obtaining her Junior Matriculation in South E nd, she has been attending O.L.C. this year in hopes of getting her Senior Matriculation. Dieting is a wonderful pastime especially the kind that starts to-morrow . When we hear the expression Heutonafeuton we know that Joan is bear- ing down upon us. This Fall she is planning to study nurs- ing at Queen ' s University. Lots of luck, Joan! NORMA WISE Norma arrived in Welland, Ontario, on July 30th, 1926. After attending High School there she came to O.L.C. to take a Commercial course. Her choice of vocation was a wise one as she has done exceptionally well and has proved an able assistant typing teacher. Norm hopes to obtain a position in Buffalo this Fall. One faculty member in particular will remember her for her favourite saying — But Dr. Hunter, we weren ' t talk- ing! DALLIS WOOLLINGS Our pride of the Northland was born in Englehart on April 8, 1928. Here she attended school as far as third form and then came to O.L C. to take her matrics. Swim- ming, dancing and skating are her favourite pastimes. Next vear she plans to go to Toronto U., and take Social Welfare. ' Good luck, Dal! GLENNA WYLIE On April 19, 1929, Rockglen, Sask., celebrated the birth of a girl, Glenna Marie Wylie. Three years later she moved to Bolton, Ont., and still lives there. She has been a resident of O.L.C. for four years and has adopted the nickname of Bolton it being her main topic of conversation. Besides knitting diamond socks, her most recent hobby is riding. Next year Glenna wants to study medicine. We ' ll be watching for her shingle. Good luck, Glenna! Page ' Nineteen

JOYCE LEHTO A native of Sudbury, Ontario, Joyce attended the local High School before coming to O.L.C. two years ago. The Art Department was the brighter for her innocent humour and her fellow students profited from her helpful assistance in mural projects and leather work. Joyce is a willing worker and has served on the Editorial Staff of the College Magazine for two years. ELAINE McCEEDIE Elaine McCredie, our little red-head bombshell, arrived in Smith ' s Falls on February 1(5, 1927. One of Elaine ' s claims to fame is falling off a roof at a corn roast and breaking her arm. She left Ottawa to complete her Senior Matriculation at O.L.C. and has taken a very active part in both the tennis and basketball teams. She is fond of golf and spends her spare time reading. Next year she is heading for McGill University to study Psychology. The best of luck to you, Elaine. BETH MacNEIL A hard-working member of the Commercial class is Beth MacNeil. She was born in Middleton, Nova Scotia, on May 9, 1928. This year she came to O.L.C. for a secretarial course, after which she plans to go into the business world. Beth says, Oh, mush-ha-mush. SHIRLEY NEILSON This long, lean, lanky bundle of liveliness came into the world on February 28, 1929 in Toronto. She moved later to Burlington where she spent her highschool days. Through her next door neighbour, Jeanne Hurst, she heard the fame of O.L.C, and decided upon a year of College life. Next year she hopes to enter McMaster University to pursue an Art course, and judging from her famous sketches in History periods, we know she ' ll succeed. Ambition: To be a designer at Saks ' Fifth Avenue. Ultimate fate: Dressing dummies in Eaton ' s Basement. MARY PALMER Mary was born on December 18, 1928, in Summerside, Prince Edward Island. She attended public and high school in Summerside and for her Senior Matriculation she came to O.L.C. Her favourite sports are swimming, soft- ball and skating. She also has a favourite pastime and that is eating, a magnificent word , quotes Mary. In the near future Mary plans to take an Honour Mathematics Course at McGill University and we know she will succeed. CARMEN RAMIREZ Our little Cita was born in 1926 in Guatemala, Central America, the only girl in a family of four boys. Ten of her twenty years were spent at La Sainte Famille a convent in her native city, from which she graduated with a teaching degree. In 1944 she came to Canada where she witnessed her first snowfall and had quite a struggle with the English language. Now Canada and O.L.C. are to become just a memory for Cita because this Summer she returned to her own country. Her future, at the moment, is indefinite but we wish her luck. Page Eighteen

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY 19 ' 9— We restaff O. L. C. I, Dorothy Elizabeth Fuller, having absolutely refused to attend faculty meetings, find myself returning as a Staff Artist lor the cartoon section of the Whitby Half ' Hour. Being an old Art student I made straight for the Studio where I was greeted by Miss Lehto who informed me that all her young ladies were on location. Every where was evidence of ' impeccable ' teaching ability. All sounds centering in the Studio, I heard the usual tat, tat of typewriters and so made a visit to the Commercial Room. Miss Garrett had a somewhat new system of teaching and was giggling out the alphabet at rather a fast rate. She asked for my Class dues so I left. By this time my ears drew me to the Gym. The victrola, long time out of fashion, was replaced by Miss Boake and her vocal exercises. The Gym, by this time, was for students desiring to reduce only. A loud ach brought me on the run to the classroom wing vvfherc Miss Arnold, finally at wits ' end, was sneezing in German . The Elementary class-room, always a big attraction, was under the capable super- vision of Miss Burgess. The students were about to embark on one of nature ' s little journeys to study the birds and bees. Miss Burgess left me at the Lab door and I hollered my greetings to Miss Wylie pb vc the clicking of knitting needles . She informed me that banking and Bolton were fine. A phone call came for me in the Office, so I had the opportunity of greeting Miss MacNeil, who was busy asking Miss Wise, Registrar, just how you knew when it was true love. Miss Wise was sitting on the window ledge reading the Whitby Half-Hour and turned to my hobby column of there ain ' t no such thing ' as Love . I decided to wander back to the Studio, but halted at the Okticlos d oor and peeking around found Miss McCredie having a heart to heart talk with one of the attractive students. After a short joke I passed on to the Study Hall which was being supervised by a triangle of Miss Groulx, Miss Graham and Miss Sims. I found a familiar face among the students, and spoke to a very blond young lady wearing a diamond. Certainly resembles Betty Holdcroft. Upon visiting the Household Economics room I discovered, in one corner, Miss Somcrville, leaning on a mop while supervising the removal of can and bottles by Miss Neilson and Miss Henderson. Seems Shirl is collecting rare bottles and Bev. has three days off a week between loads to get her rest. A look of horror passed over the faces of the kitchen staff and I turned to find Dean Skutezky . She was rather upset about the whole affair and was making her usual one minute round to .see that all was calm, cool and collected . Perhaps T should dash up to No. 4 Main. Ye Old Saloon is under new man- agement. Miss Clifford and Miss Farr are doing a thriving business in their Tuck Shop . No. 4 is again Faculty Room and Miss Cosford was pleading with the girls to go swimming. Miss Carson received her bronze when she was a Senior and Miss Harper told her the pool was cool to-night, so they would just sit by the phone for the evening . Miss Ramirez, the Spanish teacher, was ready for her daily walk to the barns and down that lovely lane leading to the Highway . Miss Palmer was drawing a map that would include Prince Edward Island . Was just • informed that Miss Hurst is here for her usual dramatic classes. I dashed down to greet her just as she was tuning the class up for Laughing on the Outside, Crying on the Inside .
