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

June 8 — Student Recital. June 9 — Baccalaureate Service. June 10 — Class Day. June 11 — Alumnae Day. June 12 — Commencement and Dance. INITIATION The most dread event m the new girls ' year at OL C. arrived one bright and sunny day last fall. That morning there emerged the new girls- -some very strange looking people appearing most self-conscious in their fantastic clothing. The new girls obeyed the slightest whim of the old girls who lived a life of ease. After a long and arduous day (for the new girls) the day closed -v ith the performance of the old girls ' stunt, then to bed for the tired new recruits. HALLOWE ' EN The gay festivities of Hallowe ' en were begun with a chicken dinner with all the trimmings. We gathered in the dining-room dressed in all sorts of costumes. The grand march opened the evening after which the judges were introduced and the prizes given out. Yolande Puig won the prize for the prettiest outfit, Mary E. Coleman, the most original. Carmen Hazelton and Barbara Smith as horse and rider received many a laugh. A play was put on by Mrs. Aymong entitled World With- out Men . Following this the school song closed the evening. SUNDAY EVENINGS IN No. 4 MAIN Every Sunday night throughout the year it has been the pleasure of the Senior Class to have bread and coifee in No. 4 Main. We have had interesting talks by Miss Bennee and Miss Sissons. It has helped to keep our class together and we all have enjoyed our Sunday night parties in 4 Main. HOLLY HOP December 7, 1945 — a day to remember at O.L.C. — was the night of the Senior dance Holly Hop held in the gymnasium at 8.00 o ' clock. The gym was decorated in red and white streamers. At the far end of the gym were spruce boughs shaped into the word Holly-Hop . On either side of the bandstand were small Christmas trees sprinkled with prizes for Spot and Elimination dances. Our guests were received by Dr. Carscallen, Mrs. Carscallen, Miss Sissons, Mrs. Roadhouse and Marilyn Crang. During the dance punch was served and at 11.00 o ' clock supper was enjoyed. At 12.30 when the strains of the last melody died away everyone was sorry it was over but happy at the end of a perfect day. ELEMENTARY PARTY On December 1945, the Elementary Class was invited to a Christmas Party by the Honour Club. The party began with Christmas Carols and games. Then came jolly old Saint Nick with bells jingling, hearty laugh and all. He even had that big sack slung over his back. Who could it have been? Page Twenty-three.
