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.

20 SAMARA Diana Lawson Dance, boxing, or Parents ' Tea, You ' re sure to find Di at Ashbury. She ' s talkative and friendly and also the slave Of a young handsome boy by the name of Dave. Heather Letch The nickname Ha Ha fits our Heather, As she never seems to be under the weather. Lucky (?) Heather— back next year; We ' re sure she ' ll still be full of cheer. Christine Mackenzie She likes them short, she likes them tall, Chris likes males one and all. In Algebra she also hopes to excel— For references see Miss Sherill Fell. Julie Macdonnell She always has her homework done. She ' s always ready to have fun. When she stopped driving her little car The accident rate was cut by far. Efi Malamaki Efi comes from far-off Greece; When she starts to chatter she ' ll never cease. At school she works and works some more, And then goes home to Mother ' s store. Linda Redpath Linda, alias Charlie Brown, Is, as the song says, quite a clown. Though no one at Elmwood knew she would, In New York she met Sir John Gielgud. Jane Rowley An able form captain Jane has been. As good as any we have seen. She seems to really have the nack. Of stopping us all from talking back. Catherine (Kit) Sampson Kit has boyfriends everywhere; She gets them mixed but doesn ' t care. She likes to ski and likes to ride. And in the summer she swims in the tide. Judy Toller Judy finds, whether near or far. Someone always steals her car. With winks and smiles she always shows. That she ' s in love with all her beaux. At Prefects we haven ' t even hinted, For what we would say just couldn ' t be printed. Fearing this they told us not lo bother, And so they have done each other. ;r Emma ' s Hat or Harmony in a Nutshell? With her dark glasses on and a good book in front of her GINNY is quite content to relax and wait for the right mail to roll in. P.S. Did we spell male right? Most o. JULIE ' S time is taken by her plays, six nights and two afternoons a week. Though HOLLY sufl ered the recent loss of Ambrose (pet fish) she still insists— I ' m just the same! ' SHERRI is synonomous for zany, crazy, and loads of fun. I ' m anti-social , says JANE; she frankly refuses to conform but— she is willing to discuss her reasons. LES is certainly our No. 1 candidate for the all-round girl. JOAN agrees any number can play the mat- ing game, but its more fun with two! MARY MARGARET, commonly known as Myrt just blew into town from . . . Mano- tick! A school day on a merry-go-round, a singing, laughing girl— Here ' s GUSSIE. With all the stories about her passion for red Judy says, I ' m beginning to feel hke a red people-eater . The phone is constantly ring- ing for SANDY lately but she won ' t reveal the fan. LARAGH struck it rich this year in her composition on Ghana. Though BEV is back building the pyramids in her dreams, our clever gal may someday discover some- thing just as big. Funny! SUE reminds us of the nuclear age! These physicists have really taken over. The grapevine has been humming about a quiet, shy, miss (none other than our HEATHER) who has decided to enjoy life with a certain Bishop . DEIDRE says there are only two kinds of people in this world— the Irish and those who want to be Irish! I wonder if she ' s heard the rumour that St. Patrick is Scottish?. No! It ' s not the Atom bomb, it ' s only BONER in the lab!! A pert miss in our midst is our J.A. otherwise known as blond bombshell . Our Yankee friend JUDY has won us all to her side with her strange, Yankee ways !
