Must go to Seven! Faculty has a permanent job here now. Miss WooUings and Miss Green are placed to keep Peace and Quiet . The blossoms are out and so a nice brisk walk through the orchard. Oh say, there ' s Miss Cornell, Queen of all this. She tells me she is looking for Miss King. We found Barb, in the Practice rooms playing the piano, singing and sketching. Oh yes, a little note on the side . Miss Cornell informs me that we are invited to the Principal ' s house for dinner. I was pleased to find the former Miss Crang as our hostess. I guess that was Barb. Deal serving the table and counting the calories. Having covered my story, I, Bette Fuller, will cut the comedy and so the dream of all dreams ends. VALEDICTORY Glenna Marie Wylie The years spent at O.L.C., whether one or five, punctuated regularly with tra ' ditional ceremonies, have passed all too quickly. It is hard to believe that we are the graduating class and must now part from these familiar halls, but I shall do my best to say Farewell , for the seniors of ' 46. During the year we have appreciated the guidance and wisdom of Dr. Cars ' callen our principal. Miss Sissons our dean, Mrs. Roadhouse our class teacher, and all the members of the faculty, as well as that of our honour club which has helped to develop our democratic instincts and fit us better to take part in the government of our countries. When we go out of these gates today, we will be faced with major problems to be solved by us, the future citizens. We feel that we have been fortunate in having greater responsibilities this year which have helped develop our character, for this was the first year that seniors have taken duties on the halls for the teachers. We hope that the seniors of next year will try to carry on the democratic ideas of the honour club and continue to take responsibilities. Coming from all corners of the earth, we have learned to live as a harmonious unit, a decided advantage in these cosmopolitan times. One of the best examples of this co-operation was when other members of the school joined with the chapel choir to form our large choir which sang so successfully in Toronto and which you will hear this afternoon. Only we who have banded together in the common role of students can realize the measure of friendship that dwells within these walls. From living with others as members of a community we have learned to make Consideration for others our primary objective. Our hearts will ever be filled with fond memories of O.L.C., such as the beauty of the orchard throughout the changing seasons, from the time the harvest welcomes us, through the winter months when steel blue shadows are cast upon the snow, until the spring when the orchard seems so full and burdened after its winter bare ness. To walk among the spring blossoms and flowers is a pleasant relaxation after the concentration upon our studies. Like the sun that has passed its meridian and sinks rapidly toward the western horizon, we the senior class move on toward our last hour at O.L.C.. When we leave, we hope that the honourable qualities we have gained here will radiate on others just as the colourful hues of the sunset are cast upon the evening clouds. Page Twenty-one

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 .
