East Street and The Square.
Annette, the d;,tlghter of Mr.
and Mrs. Leo Ouellette; is a very
attractive, resourceful ,, and
energetic young lady, A
Ooderich girl, received her early •
schooling at St. Peter's Separate
School and at grades 9-10 at the

advised her to do some free
lancing as she would be just
repeating her first year. �r
This must have been quite a
challenge to such a shy, quiet
girl" but she had had the best of
teachers and bravely faced the`
business world. Her first job was
in promotion with 'a Record

found work with a large
advertising, commercial art

Here she learned many

gloomy these days.
We've had about .13 f et

a chap up on a snowbank

Crouched under the limbs
of a maple tree,•• he was try-

enough that he'd have
somewhere to put the next
deluge.
And when it• hasn't been

or cold enough to freeze the
