Jbawn and 2!)u k The golden sun comes creeping o ' er a hill And sheds its light upon the earth, so still. A warm, soft breeze puffs up, and as it blows Brings all the perfume of a blushing rose. But then as though the roses are not there The fragrance of a lily fills the air Quite heavy with the dew drops from the night And robins break the hush at morning light. And as the noon-day sun shines bright and warm Upon the earth, all glowing in its charm The peacefulness of summer lays its hand On all the happy creatures of the land. The day is quickly ebbing to its close. The robins chirp, from perches in the rows Of hyacinth and yellow daffodils, A last good-night to earth, now hushed and still. MARGARET BIRD

what she was to design a cover. And would we not all like to claim as our own, the work she has done for us ? Thank-you, Mrs. Hill more than we can say. To Mr. John Scott, of the Scott Studio, Whitby, we also offer our heartfelt thanks. He has been more than generous with his time and skill and patience. The large amount of fine photography available to the Committee is the result of his keenness. Of Mrs. Bradley we must also make special mention. At a moment ' s notice, she prepared for us a grand list of people who might be interested in advertising in Vox Collegii . Our advertising section itself is proof of the service she rendered us. And so to the work of our Bursar and School Secretary. Apart from so much that is already done, with them rest s the most important task of checking that our book reaches those with whom we want to join hands — our Alumnae members across the land. On behalf of students and Alumnae alike, may we offer our sincere thanks, Miss Newman and Mrs. Richardson, for all that you have done and will, we know, still find to do for Vox Collegii . No word of ours could end without a word of course for the Editorial Staff. Gloria Gardner, as As- sistant Editor, has been a jack-of-all trades and master of all, handling a thousand and one tasks that are classed under Miscellaneous in the Editorial Office. She has been patient and cheerfful even when I wanted to explode or at least to scream. Our School Events Editor, Doreen Yaxley, has always been busy lending a helping hand, thinking up new ideals and helping to make difficult decisions. Sharon Long has, over the year, as Sports ' Editor, kept a book of Athletic events that in itself should be printed. Excerpts from this have helped her edit the Sports ' pages. Wendy Greer, our photographer has taken and collect- ed snapshots all year with a bubbling zest and enthusiasm that spurred us all on. Thank-you, Wendy. Joanne Strowger and Shirley Moffatt as Business Managers have kept us from falling off the deep end financially. Owing to their management, we have a wonderful group of advertisers this year. Margaret Austin, too, has been a magnificent worker and we are sure that neither we nor she will forget that pages must be typed before they can be printed. Thank-you. Margaret. These girls, the Committee of Vox Collegii , with Mrs. Furlong at the helm, have steered the course through the rough waters of the Editorial Sea, working in harmony, developing seamanship. The end of the College year approaches and as we come to May Day and Graduation, our thoughts are very much with those for whom this year will be the last spent within the College gates. We wish them good luck in whatever they choose to do and we hope that next year, when Mrs. Osborne leaves for an Alumnae tea, that she will return to us with news that they keep the College ways deep in their hearts. Which brings us to another and final thank-you. No group of people can be held to- gether by ideals alone. Only through a living personality can we be united. When we look back upon our days here, some of our happiest recollec- tions will be of those happy hours when Mrs. Os- borne entertained us at formal dinner, buffet sup- per, tea or lunch and made us feel that in the lives of our Principal and his wife, there is, and always will be, a warmth of feeling that will make the College what it truly is to us, our other home. We know that we are feeling this as you, the Alumnae have felt it and still do feel it. It is in this spirit of fellowship that we now put before you, the Faculty, the present stu- dents and all our many friends and supporters, Vox Collegii of 1956. PATRICIA RIDDELL, Editor.
