' 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.

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.

JTlay (Day May 24th, or May Day, one of the most celebrated festivities of the year, dawned bright and early. This is a particularly happy occasion at O.L.C. for it is the day that our Queen is crowned. The programme began in the concert hall with a very interesting address given by Mrs. J. C. Houck on ' Personal Responsibility ' . Then the entire school and guests retired to the out-of-doors where the grand march was performed and the May Queen, Nancy Chapman of Fort Erie, was crowned by Mrs. Houck. With her attendants, Barbara Norman and Diane Dunbar, Nancy took her place of honour to watch the program presented by her subjects. This was concluded by the May Pole Dance and the Procession of the Queen down from her throne. That afternoon the girls visited with their parents and tripped off to the movies in the evening.
