This year Dr. and Mrs. Carscallen are also bidding farewell to their responsibilities at O. L. C. For the past twenty years, students of this college have found in them kind- ness and understanding concerning their youthful problems, and we assure them that their influence will always be felt in the lives of their old students. We are glad indeed that they have chosen to live close at hand and that we shall not be forced to lose touch with them when they retire to enjoy the leisure which they have so richly earned. Members of the Faculty, we go hence with the profoundest esteem for the wisdom, forbearance, kindness and justice that you have ever shown toward us within these walls. We have been often hasty, heedless of your feelings and our own best interests, and have at times caused you great annoyance. But in all these things you have proven yourselves our true friends. In whatever we have given you offence we ask your for- giveness and carry away with us a heart-felt gratitude for all the many favours we have received at your hands. In departing we leave behind a school surrounded by the most beautiful of grounds which are the setting of many fond memories — memories of life at O. L. C. The hour of parting from our Alma Mater draws nigh. In spite of hope and faith in the future, there is a tinge of sadness in the present which we do not fear to cherish and confess. So to our Alma Mater we bid fond farewell and leave with it for- ever a part of our hearts. Joan Carnwith Page Twenty-three

INITIATION DAY After days of nervous suspense the new arrivals at O.L.C. were ceremoniously made part of the school. In outlandish garb they humbly obeyed every whim of the Old girls. The will of the New-comers cracked, their good sportsmanship was brought to the fore during the Penalties at the Old Girls ' stunt. HALLOWE ' EN The candle-lit banquet in the weirdly decorated dining room finished, assorted Hallowe ' en spirits and spooks paraded boldly in the Grand March. After careful de- liberation by the judges came the distribution of the various prizes, followed by a programme given by the students, and finally the school song. HOLLY HOP The beautifully decorated dining room was the site of O.L.C. ' s annual mid-year dance. The guests were received by Dr. and Mrs. Carscallen, Miss Sissons, Miss Broad- bent and Joan Greenfield. After an unforgetable evening of music and dancing, sea- soned with punch and refreshments. Dr. Carscallen and Miss Sissons closed the Holly Hop for another year. CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL The Yuletide season of joyful merry making commenced with the Christmas cele- brations. The guests, faculty, and students entered the dining-room to carol singing by the choir, followed by the candle-lighting procession in which Bev. Boyd sang the Cherry Tree Carol. Then came the Boar ' s Head Procession, complete with Lady of the Manor, Cook, Porters, and Jester. Soloists were Bernice Richmond, Wendy Spencer and Isabelle Faulkner. After dinner a Christmas tableau under Miss Weller ' s direction, was enacted on Main Hall stairs, followed by a dramatic presentation under the direction of Mrs. Ay- mong in the concert hall. With the singing of the school song, the evening came to a close leaving all in the best of spirits. SUNDAY EVENINGS IN 4 MAIN By tradition Senior meetings are held in 4 Main every Sunday night. Informally ia pyjamas, accompanied by coffee and push , the Seniors make the decisions that guide their class. SENIOR DINNER Friday, April 9, saw the Senior dinner of 1948. The Senior tables this year were arranged in a cartwheel in the centre of the room and their beautiful decorations again paid tribute to our hard working Juniors. After a delicious meal a la Mrs. Harshaw and her competent staff, the following toasts were made: Page Twenty-five
