18 SAMARA was Tecumseh born? KING lammed off at MOFF and ROLL-ed her broken BONEs, in- cluding LEGs across the floor; even SPIC SPAN couldn ' t remove the stains for all her scrubbing. ZORRO came to the rescue of her trusty? steed SHEBA and MOE-ed CHARLIE BROWN down by mistake. . . .? Green-eyed ZORRO! Was this a MERT- erism? MUGS and DEE put a stop to all this by contacting GERT on the inter-COlM. This year we had a wonderful staif in residence. These included Miss Matalon, Mrs. Campbell, Mrs. Betts, Miss England, Miss Sharp, and Miss Boyle for a couple of weeks. We were especially sorry to see Mrs. Hughes leave us at Christmas, but warmly welcomed Miss Robinson in her place. We were very sorry to learn of the death of Mrs. Cameron, as she was a great help to us all in the board- ing school. Miss Moseby has been a wonderful House-mother, and always ready to help any of us. We would all like to thank Jeannie Cundill —our headboarder who has done a terrific job this year. Along with being popular with the girls, Jeannie has ruled with a strong hand. We had a most enjoyable pyjama party this year. Each one of us placed a small present under the tree, which helped to make the needy childrens ' Christmas happier. Refresh- ments were served which as usual were appre- ciated to their utmost. All in all, this has been a terrific year, and from those of us who are leaving, we wish next year ' s boarders every success. Volleyball This year for the first time we sent a team to play in the Ottawa Interscholastic Volley- ball League. Although we won two out of a possible four games, we did not have a chance to try for the East League finals. The valuable experience we have gained from these games we hope to put to better use next year. The team consisted of: Sherrill Fell (cap- tain). Sue Southam, Judy Ewing, Jean Cun- dill, Sandra Moffat, Martha Wilson, Sue Rog- ers, Kit Sampson, Wendy Blackburn. Badminton This year the badminton tournaments, junior and senior, were run off very success- fully. Heather Blaine of Fry came out on top in the Senior Singles, defeating Sherrill Fell of Nightingale. Sarah Garvock of Fry was the Junior champion defeating Marjorie Feller of Nightingale. Sherrill Fell and Lesley Gait (Nightingale) won over Heather Blaine and Linda Peden in a very exciting match for the Doubles crown, and Sarah Garvock and Rita Browning elim- inated Susan Arnold and Dorothea Berwick to win the Junior Doubles title. Fry ended the winner of the houses, with Nightingale placing second and Keller third. Interscholastic Tennis On Saturday, September 20th, we defeated Nepean to gain the Ottawa Tennis title for the second year in succession. The doubles team, which consisted of Kit Sampson and Lesley Gait, were undefeated as were singles players Martha Wilson and Heather Blaine. Laragh Neelin was narrowly defeated by Pat Ryan, an Ottawa champion. Congratulations, Team! Basketball This year, as last, Elmwood entered the Ottawa Interscholastic Girls ' Basketball Tour- nament. We first played Rideau, defeating them 47-17 and 65-30. Next we defeated Com- merce 44-12 and 46-16. Lisgar won the next game, 33-30, but we came back to win the second game, 30-23. This left Lisgar and Elm- wood tied for first place, and a play-off re- sulted in Lisgar placing first in the East League and Elmwood second. In a very exciting semi- final game with Glebe we were defeated 32- 23. Glebe went on to the finals to lose the championship to Lisgar by one point.

Louise Bowie Her hair is the envy of the Class; She studies hard, and hopes to pass So she can go and nurse the ill And feed the handsome men a pill. Sherill B ' ell She leads the school in all the sports, And many a boy she courts. She works each period of each day ' cause Algebra. She hopes to slay. Joanna Garland Full of witty cracks and smiles While putting our form notes on the files. We tried to make up these last two lines But without Jo ' s help weren ' t master minds. A Iargo ' Hay To be a Deb is Margo ' s aim; We ' re sure that she will have many a flame. In 1960 she ' s Europe bound To learn an art that ' s quite profound.
