Ontario Ladies College Whitby, - Ontario I ■ The Ontario Ladies College opened its doors last September with 135 students, the largest group in many years. Twenty-five day students have help- ed swell the ranks, and perhaps these larger numbers are setting a trend, particularly as new housing deve- I lopments will more than double the population of Whitby within a relatively short time. Proud of its Christian heritage and tradition, the I Ontario Ladies ' College is now facing the next I century of progress and growth with a practical point of view. i The Board of Directors has endorsed an ambi- [ tious program which calls for a continuous upgrad- j ing of our educational facilities, together with the I improvement of our residential accommodation and environment. In addition, it involves a plan of re- storation of the oldest part of the Castle which is in keeping with the fact that the College has been de- signated an historic site by the Province of Ontario. The Board of Du-ectors will also need to study ac- commodation requu-ements, for residential space is now at a premium, and extra rooms may be required. In order to set this program in motion, substan- tial funds are essential if the school is to remain fi- nancially independent. This goal is set at $250,000. Therefore, during 1976, a financial drive for funds will be conducted. It will be beamed at our alumnae, special names, various businessess, industries, foun- dations, and friends of the College. This appeal is an outgrovvtii of our Centennial Restoration and Renovation Program. Although the Ontario Ladies ' Collesje is affili- ated with the United Church of Canada, financial support has been withdrawn fairly recently from all such secondary schools in Canada. Tliis has come at a time when the role of the school has changed from that of a finishing school to that of a recognized top academic institution preparing students for post- secondary education. The future of all secondary schools affiliated with the United Church depends on the gifts of far- sighted benefactors who see the value of the contri- butions being made by these schools to the society of today and tomorrow. We are very pleased that Dr. Wilbur K. Howard, Moderator of the United Church of Canada, has consented to be an Honorary Patron of the Ontario Ladies ' College in this impor- tant cause. Although the campaign is beamed at those stu- dents who have already entered the world of work, and to those students who are obtaining a higher education, 1 am certain that the parents and guard- ians of our present school population will welcome the opportunity of contributing to this important program, and the students themselves will do every- thing possible to assist the Ontario Ladies ' College to reach the goals of the Centennial Restoration and Renovation Program in 1976.

Our Dean ' s Message It came out of the blue in January. Write some- thing for the yearbook. What shall I write? 1 mused. I inquired of others. Keep it short! was the not so subtle but apt reply. The deadline drew nearer. What shall 1 write? became no longer a matter for fleeting reflection in idle moments, but rather, a critical inescapable dilemma. What gems of wisdom can I produce? What significant challenge? What relevant advice? The deadline was only days away. Panic stations? No. Instead a new set of questions. Do yearbook read- ers care about gems of wisdom? Significant challenges? Relevant advice? Those questions were certainly neither cynically nor sarcastically intended. I was simply becoming realistic. Yearbooks are not those things, primarily. This yearbook, like all good yearbooks is a time capsule. From it, for years to come, we shall be able to find a graphic record of our life together in O.L.C. in 1975-1976. A yearbook is for remembering, it not only draws into a new present the people and events recorded there, but it also nudges our memory banks so we can recall again the multitude of other more personal ex- periences not recorded there. What is it about this year that will come back to you in years to come? We have all shared the same year together, yet each one of us has experienced it ditler- ently, uniquely, personally. In spite of our individual differences, whether staff or students, wc have all had our ups and downs. Did you have moments of joy? So did I. Many. Wc all did. Did you have painful moments? So did 1. So did everyone. Did you wonder sometimes if it was any use trying? Me too. Who didn ' t? Did you surprise yourself at what you could accom- plish? 1 did. I ' m sure you did too. Did you have moments of regret? 1 did. You too. Did you have moments of pride? I did. Wc all did. What kind of year will we make next year at O.L.C. or wherever our paths lead us? That ' s up to us. My hope for you and for me is that when wc look back at 1975-76, we will have learned from those experiences and grown as persons. We, each one, made our year. We can ' t take it back. Wc can learn from it. Peace, Dorothy 1. Daly DEAN 3
