- 13 - Frances Eve , as you may know, is a teacher. It seems after she finished Teachers ' College in Hamilton, she did not want to leave that fair city; so, she is teaching P.T. at the Old Peoples ' Home there. She says it is good for her figure. Last, but not least. Miss Lynn Windrim comes to my attention. Her Home Economics training that year at O.L.C. is responsible for her present day position puffing wheat at the Quaker Oats Company in Peterborough. As a hobby she is trying to develop odourless Limberger Cheese, So you see, the graduates of 1955 have become very successful in the business world of today. And as a famous statesman once said, Never has such great confusion been created by so few in such a short time or something like that! -- Carolyn Siegner VALEDICTORY Our Graduation is a time for reviewing the past years we have spent here at Trafalgar Castle. With Tennyson ' s line in mind, I am a part of all that I have met, we graduates ask ourselves -- What have we met here at O.L.C? Along with our academic life, we have come in contact with many situations which will give us the experience to cope with the problems we will meet in everyday life. Three main aspects of our school life which, I think, are very influential are Friendliness, Co-operation and Tradition. First. Friendliness: Visitors to our College are generally impressed with the spirit of friendliness shown to all newcomers. From the moment a new girl comes into the school students, faculty and staff make a special effort to help the girl feel at home and part of the family. We are fortunate in being a comparatively small school enabling faculty and students to work together on a close friendly basis for the good of our college. Secondly, Co-operation: Co-operation is a necessary part of living, whether you reside in a small town, or in a busy metropolis. It plays a nnajor role in dispelling suspi- cion, which causes misunderstandings, which, in their turn, lead to wars. If you can learn to get along with 84 females, you will certainly be well prepared to take your place in any community in which you choose to reside. Thirdly, Tradition: We who are privileged to attend, and to graduate from, O.L.C. have much to be proud of. Our school has been built on tradition. The traditional e vents around which our school activities revolve tell us the time of the year. In the fall we look forward to the Christmas Dinner, with its Candle -Lighting and Boar ' s Head Processions, familiar carols and Tableau. In the Spring, the Senior Dinner and May Court Festival are talked about and prepared for weeks in advance. Graduation Day is a culmination of events held in honour of the Graduates - teas, our visit to the Church of the Bay, Baccalaureate Sunday, Class Day and our breakfast down at the lake. Tradition inspires pride, and makes us all feel part of a continuous pattern. Although old girls and graduates who revisit the school may not recognize the faces, there is no strangeness because the ties of tradition bind us all together whether we are 15 or 50. Traditions provide us with foundations on which we may build our lives -- one of these foundations is loyalty to our Alma Mater. These three - Friendliness, Co-operation and Tradition have become a part of all of us --we have met them here at O.L.C.

- 12 - SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY How could ten years pass so quickly? It seems like only yesterday that the class of ' 55 was all gathered together at O.L.C. and now we are all scattered in many directions. Even I am kept busy in Berlin selling Schneider ' s hot dogs to the German Shepherds. I still cannot speak German, and if it were not for my personal interpreter, Olive Kaiser, who has had experiences in all parts of Germany because of her connection with the Armed Forces, I would be at a complete loss. There are five more of us enjoying the sophisticated life of Europe. The trip to Europe that Sue Eckel made in ' 55 opened the door to a new life for her. She is now the Olympic skating star of Southern Siberia, and has recently been awarded the Gold Hammer and Sickle because of her work in pharmacy research in Russia. It looks as if Lindy Long j ust could not bear to leave her roommate alone in Europe. Lindy is in England, and is quite a military figure. Her valuable training as the Farewell House Captain has been responsible for Lindy becoming Captain Delinda Long of the British Army. She got this rank by introducing the house point system to her division. Phyllis CuUen and Sandra Boegel are in England, too. They are running a detective agency, second only to Scotland Yard. Their establishment is called Fearless Fosdick In- corporated , and they specialize in locating lost jewellery - rings and things, you know. In her spare time, Phyllis is teaching Sandy how to make canopy beds in an old abandoned awning factory near their offices. Jessie Trumper inhabits this side of the Atlantic Ocean, too. She is using her French to make a living. She works in a pet shop in Paris translating the French Poodles ' conver- sation into English for the tourists. Jess always did like animals. Margaret Cole is using that mathematical brain to very good advantage. She is the chief adding machine inspector in a factory, in North Bay. In her spare time, she is editing a book called My Experiences with a Bunsen Burner . Her position as Yearbook Editor in ' 55 must be paying off. Two of the grads, are pursuing careers in music, and are well established too, Joanne Strowger Is the president of the Piano Tuners ' Association of Whitby and has re- cently completed a tour of inspection of the practice rooms of O.L.C. She could not break away from her Alma Mater. Sue Lecky has made her home in Hollywood. When George passed away, Liberace needed a helper; so. Sue is kept busy polishing candelabras between Liberace ' s TV ap- pearances. Who knows? Maybe in the very near future. Sue will be taking violin lessons instead of piano lessons. Hollywood is the home of two more of our class. Bernadine Wilkin, of all people, is one. When she is not uking care of Junior, she works in the Publicity Department of the Jeff Chandler Fan Club. She finds licking stamps for his autographed pictures a pretty dry job. Martha Mitchell has found her way into a movie studio, too. Martha was always crazy over horses and now she is a veterinary in charge of the horses that Marlon Brando uses in his western pictures. Valerie Haines or it should be Doctor Haines frequents the draughty corridors of the Toronto General Hospital. She has a very good position mixing plaster for leg casts in the Emergency Ward, and has made a name for herself by developing colored casts to match patients ' wardrobes. A colorful character that Valerie Haines I Down at Kingston, Claire Morden is Assistant Superintendent to the Assistant Super- intendent of Nurses and seems to be enjoying her role as an angel of mercy 7. The only thing that bothers her are the bars on the hospital windows - they depress her! And last week there was a prison riot !
