GWEN BOND Our little butterball Pug from ' way up in the Northwest Territories has kept the school in stitches with her crazy antics. The world looks bew-chus , eh? She excels in dramatics and hopes to continue in this line. Her secret ambition is to heckle Bob Hope. RAQUEL NINA Raquel comes from an unpronounceable name in the Dom- inican Republique. Her hobby is sleeping and her saying is Oh no, girls — Girls, no! She plans to work for her Dad next year and secretly confides that her dream is to be a housewife. Page Twenty

SHIRLEY TOMLINSON Tommy , as we know her, comes to us from Port Elgin. At 7.26 you can hear her saying, Well, I guess I ' d better hurry. Her hobby is reading in bed, or reading those letters — Oh, Bill. Dreamily, that is. It ' s Western for her next year and her ambition is to marry a millionaire. Good luck! MARY TURNER Turn comes to us from the City of Windsor. Her pastime is trying to keep peace at Senior Meeting — and, of course, her favorite saying is Aw kids, keep quiet for a minute, will you? She plans to go to Western next year, but she coyly declares her dream is to marry and settle down and we know she will make someone a good wife. ANNE WARD Ward is the red-head from North Bay with the loud voice. Her hobby is dramatics and she practices on anyone who will listen, willingly, or otherwise. She is noted for the variety of sounds she can make. Tho ' she says her career lies in the field of dramatics, we bet she will end up as sound-effects man on the radio. JOAN WATT Joan is London ' s gift to O.L.C. Her favourite topic is, oddly enough, London, etc., etc. She seems to wander around perpetually stirring a brew of Nescafe. She plans to go to Western next year. And where is Western ? Why, London, of course! MARY WIGSTON Wiggle comes here to O.L.C. from North Bay. She is very talented — no one can drop her eye like our Wiggle. Her Girls, this is the last warning is very familiar to us when the A. A. is up to something. Her main ambition is to appear at O.L.C. in future years as guest pianist, but her ultimate fate is to become a soda-jerk. AUDREY WILSON Audrey is from Clarkson, and we hope she doesn ' t mean her usual expression You terrible girl . She is extremely fond of eating, we are told and she and her room-mate don ' t agree on the subject of mice. Next year she is going to apprentice in pharmacy and her destiny is to be a druggist. So take all your aches and pains to Audrey. Page Nineteen

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY The year is 1967 A.D. The world for ten years now has been ruled by the WEAKER SEX. You see, in 1957, during a world-wide revolution, women took over world affairs, and the men were subjugated completely. All males were com ' pelled to perform the menial household tasks — and for a while it worked out well. But — there have been complications recently! And I, Lorraine Campbell, was chosen to report upon the monstrous Women ' s World Conference held in regard to this vital matter. Here is a brief summary compiled from a number of notes I recorded on the spot in the huge hall at Whitby, World Political Centre. The Chairman, Miss Mary Turner, took the floor and called upon the meeting to come to order. This had no effect. Finally she made herself heard. We have been called upon, fellow members, she began, to discuss the rising spirit of Independ- ence in the male sex. This ' is a very grave issue. If any of you have any solution as to how to alleviate this menace, will you please rise and give your opinions. One of the first speakers to take the floor was Miss Mary Wigston, noted athlete, who stated in no uncertain terms that if the men were allowed a short period of recreation every day, to play basketball, for instance, that it would solve the situation. But this was greeted derisively by two members of the conference. Miss Joan Mus- grave was of the opinion that if all the women were to wear flowered hats when they returned home from work, the men ' s morale would be boosted, and everything would be solved. But M. E. Jamieson, noted professor, claimed that a year or two of manual labor at T.C.S. would affect a change in the attitude of man. Opposing them was a party that staunchly held their own opinion as best. Misses CoUette Ferguson and Margaret Large, co-presidents of the United Juke- Box Manufacturers, claimed that four hours a day practising Bach fugues between household chores would teach anyone self-discipline. At this. Misses Eleanor Nugent and Barbara Smith (who own the large Automatic Shorthand Recorder Co. Ltd.) jumped to their feet. We object! What this world needs is to have men take down the women ' s instruc- tions in short-hand! This will speed up housework one hundred per cent, and leave no time for discontent. By this time all the dissenting ideas had caused a minor riot, and order had to be called again. Late arrivals at the meeting were Sergeants Goodchild, Moore, and Henderson, who arrived wearing the red-coats of the Royal Canadian Women ' s Mounted Police. They announced loudly that if they would be given a grant of $5,000 to launch a new recruiting campaign they could have all the men under suppression within 5 months. At this Miss Joyce Bell and Miss Shirley Tomlinson spoke up. We do not approve of these strong-arm methods. We advocate gentleness. Treat them, as much as you can, like human beings. Miss Shirley Ann Ryder, president of the S.P.C.H. (Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Husbands) nodded violently in agreement. Miss Audrey Wilson and Miss Mary Dickson stated that solitary confinement in the cases of disobedience was the only thing — these ladies are well-noted for their hard hearts. Miss Mollie Murphy and Miss Charlotte Forster, the strong, silent types, were also advocates of extreme forms of penal punishment. At this point a bridge game in one corner of the hall had to be broken up before the conference could go on. The members resumed their seats. When called upon. Miss Barbara Swinton and Miss Dorothea Mann, both noted geniuses in the world of Art, refused to give their opinions for fear of causing a Page Twenty-one
