ristmas LQmaer The Yuletide spirit was once again resumed at O.L.C. on December 15, 1950. The candle light procession wound its way amongst the Christmas decorations at the dinner to the singing of the Cherry Tree Carol. Then came the traditional Boar ' s Head procession led by the lovable jester. The Main Hall window made a picturesque background for the setting of the tableau ' The Crib ' . The unforgettable Christmas story was then related to an attentive audience by our Dean, Miss Sissons. In the concert hall a Shakespeare play. ' As You Like It ' , was presented under the direction of Miss Blackstone. The evening closed with a strong feeling of Yuletide cheer prevailin g. On Friday, April 13th, the Graduating Class was the honoured group at the school ' s annual Senior Dinner. The girls, lovely in their beautiful formals, followed one another into the charm- ingly decorated dining hall. The Senior tables were attractively bedecked with red mortar boards as place cards. This is one night that the seniors will not forget for a long time. Following the dinner, original and well thought out toasts were proposed and replies given.

The new girls wore tunics inside-out and backwards, odd shoes and little bits of ribbon stuck in their hair. They were wonderful sports in carrying out their duties which were set before them by the Old Girls, (Making beds, cleaning shoes and carrying books). The day drew to a close when the weary survivors claimed their titles as ' Old Girls ' . cf{allowe en [Party The evening ' s festivities were begun with a colourful table decoration competi- tion, followed by a delicious chicken dinner. Then there was the grand march dressed in all the mysterious disguises of witch-craft. Skits were performed by the groups, and prizes were given. The night was very bewitching, and the costumes were varied. A sing-song brought the evening to a close. Sixteen

' aaces Holly Hop November 25 This year the Senior Class succeeded in planning an unforgettable Holly Hop. Two graceful prancing reindeer stood guard over the band shell. Striking red and white candy canes decked with pines were suspended from the walls. The punch- bowl was very popular. Delicious refreshments were served at 11 o ' clock. A memorable evening for all was brought to a close by the singing of the school song. O.L.C. At Home This gala affair was sponsored by our very capable Athletic Association. The concert hall took the form of a giant circus of lions, monkeys, elephants and sword-swallowers, performing their acts under the big-top. The climax of the party was the release of the balloons from the wires overhead into the eager hands of the dancers. Our Congratulations and thanks are extended to the A.A. for the wonderful occasion. Vox Collegii May Six The ' Lilac Leap ' was presented by the staff of Vox Collegii. This informal dance was held in the gymnasium. The tinkling of the coins falling into the water of the wishing-well blended in with the strings of the orchestra. The dance was a great success and everyone had a wonderful time.
