6 SAMARA Gail Dochstader: Where innocence is bliss, ' ' tis folly to be wise . Gail has this year been one of our favourite prefects, always gay and understanding. Wherever there is trouble, she is sure to be there— patching things up, of course! Our tiny ( ? ) xjrefect has had this spring a strange fascination for the town of Carleton Place, goodness knows why? Gail has done a wonderful job on the dance committee and we all owe her our thanks. For this summer Gail has enlisted in the Air Force, and may be seen marching smartly during drill at Uplands or identifying aircraft— friend or foe. Gail is undecided as to her future but, knowing Gail, we feel that every- thing will turn out for the best. We shall all miss her infectious laugh, but wish her all the luck in the world. Helena von Numers : ' ' Her ways are ways of pleasantness and all her paths are peace. A most able (and intellectual) prefect, Helena hails from Finland and is extremely popular with all of us. What ' s more she can act, and very well too. Helena was a deb this year, and has been terribly busy with all her parties and do ' s. Yet with all these activities she found time to play the leading role in I Remember Mama . Need we mention that she had a lot of school work also, as she is taking Senior Matric. In the fall Carleton will be lucky to receive through her portals our Helena, and we know she will continue in her bright, happy and efficient way. Vicky Brain: All the great people are dying off, and I don ' t feel so well ntyself. Vicky, commonly known as Vic , is the enthusiastic head of Nightingale. She has also made a wonderful prefect. And on top of it all she has made a habit of writing a weekly c olumn for the Campus Page of the Ottawa News- papers. This year Vicky took an active interest in the Dramatic Club, but in spite of all her extra-curricular activities and outside interests she is able to succeed in achieving high marks. With Vic in the school there is never a dull moment!! What more need be said? Next year it will be Elmwood ' s loss but Carleton ' s gain, for after so many years, the incomparable Vicky is leaving us. All the best, Vic!

S A iM A R A 5 Esther Prudham; ' ' Let there be no strife, I prciy thee, between me cmd thee. ' ' ' This year Esther has fulfilled the most difficult and trying role of head girl with capability and a most pleasant manner despite the many trials she has had to cope with. On top of it all she has come out with high marks. How do you do it, Esther? Always willing to help, Esther participates in all house activities, and Nightingale is lucky to have had her. Ne. t year plans to see Esther at either Carleton or University of Alberta. The best of luck and thank you, Esther. Sue Belcourt: ' ' She is what she is, What better report} — A student, a friend, A very good sport. Sue, better known as Belch is one of our most attractive prefects this year. Although she is usually very quiet. Sue takes part in many extra-curricular activities, including house plays ( in which she did an excellent job ) , and editing the school magazine. Belch ' s pet aversions are Elvis Pretzel and The Bats at Blue Sea Lake. Sue ' s off to McGill next year to major in Political Science and History, and we all know she is sure to be a big success, for she always gets along with everybody. All the best of luck. Sue . . . Carol Bruce: Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Carol is the artist amongst the prefects and is a favourite among all of us. Since she lives near the school, we all take advantage of her hospitality but love visiting her. Her charming smile and amusing quips draw us to her. Carol participates in house and sports activities, and she is also attracted to the Mounted Police. Who ' s the lucky man, Carol? Next year Carol is following in her mother ' s footsteps by becoming a teacher, and she will most certainly succeed.

S A A4 A R A 7 Frances Cabeldu: ' She ' s little and she ' s wise; She ' s a terror for her size. Franny has done a very competent job this year as liead ot Fry. She has taken part in the tennis, badminton, and basketball teams and is fast moving in all sports— particularly tennis— how she handles a racquet! Need we ask more? For the summer vacation Franny is going up to Merrywood as counsellor for junior boys. We hear that next year she is going to McGill to take Physical and Occupational Therapy, in which we all wish her the best of luck. Besides McGill, Franny has a life-long ambition to go to Holland. Mike I ask why? She has left her permanent mark upon this school and for this Fran will never be forgotten. Thank you and au revoir, Fran. Sandra Drew: ' ' A dancing shape, an image gay, To haimt, to startle and way -lay. If, before the late bell, you should hear the screech of brakes and see a be-tuniced figure dash into prayers in the nick of time, you know San has arrived. Although punctuality is not her strongest point you can be sure she will be on time when there is an argument in the offing. San is head of Keller and is a strong contender for the House Shield. She is well liked and respected among the student body and has a keen sense of responsibility in her position. Although her family is moving to Toronto in the early summer, we ' ll gamble that Sandra will spend most of her time in Ottawa before and, most probably, during her next school year. San is off to the hallowed hal ' s of McGill to carve herself a future in Political Science in the fall, and although we ' ll all miss her cheery smile we wish her the best of luck. Arrivederci and all that sort of thing, San! Elizabeth Von Schfxle Pamela iVIoore Sue Campbell Frances Drury Judy Dowd Editor—S j¥.
