SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY The evening of their first exciting day at O.L.C. was slowly drawing to its close as a group of new girls of the class of ' 65 assembled in the sitting room at the end of Main Hall. The sitting room was a charming little alcove which had originated back in 1948 and remained a popular meeting place ever since. It had recently been re- decorated by the famous interior decorator Joan Mutch who was now busy completing a whole new scheme of interior decoration for Buckingham Palace. On one wall was a magnificent modernistic painting of a bookcase daintly lifting up its skirts as it pranced up Main Hall stairs, done by Gilda Perlman of artistic fame, while on the wall across from it were some excellent cartoons drawn by the comic book illustrator, Gwynne Ham- ilton. In a niche to one side stood a statue of a weary student bent double under a huge weight of books, with a sadistic looking teacher cracking a whip over his furrowed brow, done by Patrisha West. The group now gathered in this charming spot was in the process of getting acquainted and the students discovered to their surprise that they were all daughters of alumnae of the school. One tall girl dressed in gray skirt and yellow sweater, obviously the intellectual type, with horn-rimmed glasses and a definite aversion to all types of sports, proclaimed herself to be the daughter of Carmen Hazelton who had finally settled down to happy wedded bliss with the A. A. president of McGill University. Next to her was a small, quiet girl who appeared to be undernourished and who turned out to be the daughter of Betty Esplen who had been a dietitian in a Toronto hospital, until she was discovered by the head cook, Janey Braden, to be prescribing epileptic diets for diabetic patients. Arguing with them both was a thin girl whose mother was the prominent lawyer, Mazo McCormack. Over in a corner, busy straightening out wrinkles in the cushions of her easy chair, was the daughter of Anne Barnes, famous onion cultivator of Cobourg who has developed a new strain of onions which are reputed to be ten times as effective as the old-fashioned tear gas. Two long, lanky girls who made the rest of those present feel like midgets beside them, turned out to be the children of Diana McCormack, designer of dolls ' clothes, and Dorothy Stone, who was at that moment boarding a freight car for California in pursuit of her life ' s work as professional loafer. Sitting beside them on the sofa was their tiny red-headed room mate who wore a red dress and red shoes that almost matched her hair and who became, upon investigation, the daughter of Margaret Jean Simcox, professor of mathematics at the University of Toronto, teach- ing Janet White ' s revised geometry theorems. As they sat talking together two other girls approached rather nervously. When they reached the little group, one enquired timidly, ' Where can I find 4 Main, Girlie? Her mother was Margaret Chamberlin, physics teacher at a large High School. Encouraged by her companion ' s boldness, the girl beside her said, Could I borrow some kleenex and shampoo and soap? I forgot to bring any with me. The request was made in a deep throaty voice which one would expect from the daughter of such an eloquent public speaker as Sharon Kerbel. Before anyone present had time to reply, a great rumpus was heard advancing down the hall in the persons of the family of Joan Carnwith, noted Lab technician, who perfected the chemical formula for changing morons into Latin teachers. Her fourteen daughters who had for the past two years composed the school ' s basketball teams were justly famous for their athletic skills. They were followed closely by two elementaries racing imaginary horses down the hall, daughters of June Umphrey, a stunt rider in the movies, and Beatrice Krakowsky, lady circus rider, who is renowned for her ability to ride a galloping horse while standing on her head. When the noise had somewhat quieted down two voices could be heard arguing about the five principal parts of French verbs. Tracking the voices to their sources it was discovered that they belonged to the daughters of Charlotte Batty, well-known translator of English labels into French for use on soup Page Twenty-one
