CLASS REP: Jane Stevens Westlake
Mark your calendars for our reunion the weekend
of September 23 and 24. We graduated during the
centennial year of Confederation and, as we celebrate
Canada’s sesquicentennial, we join the ranks of
Havergal’s Cinquantenaires. If you still have your tunic,
we’d love to see you model it at the reunion in the style
of 1967.

Old Girl Dawn, passed away at 97 after a full and

lots of travel and hiking, including the Bruce Trail from end
to end with friends, including
