MARGARET KENDALL 1964-1968 GLEN GAIRN Oh for a bowl of fish eye soup! Marg always arrived fashionably late after the holidays C the sled dogs always seemed to run slowly on the return trip J to spend the rest of the term wailing about her hair, laughing a lot, and reading the great literature of the ages. One of the privileged front row members of the choir, she also made frequent appearances with the soloists at the back of the gym. As a loyal Glen Gairn, Marg contributed a smiling and eager face at Games. Marg is going into Education at U. of M. next year, where she hopes to catch a man with her bear-trap. SYDNEY KENNEDY 1963-1968 CRAIG GOWAN Syd acted as President for the full ten months, fulfilling at the same time, her accessory involvements as mother of the class, greatly feared publican, commander-in-chief at fire drills, and friendly reminder to the bell ringers. This on-the-scene and on-the-telephone Business Manager was often seen lending an able hand to the advertising and lay-out committees f usually arriving with a supply of gum for everyone J. Syd's Place was the weekend refuge of many an ill-treated, starving boarder. We hail her as an outstanding girl who deserves all the very best of happenings that are to come. CYNTI-IEA LEE 1967-1968 BRAEMAR Imports were slightly delayed this year and, as a result, Cynthea missed a month or so of school at the beginning of the year. With the help of her swinging Aikins l-louse companions, she soon caught on to the way it was. Her adaptive nature and happy smile helped her gain a long list of accomplishments: enthusiastic cheerleader, alto choir member, official dictionary for the school newspaper, nearly-always supporter of Braemar, and a first-hand informer on Chinese food. Sigoschima yum yum and other such luck, Cynthea. SHIRLEY LITCH 1965-1968 GLEN GAIRN Shirley was our martyrly Head of Residence who didn't want anything for herself--just a curly haired son-in-law for her parents. She joined her Little Friend in the alto section and attended games regularly with the gentle prodding of her House Head. As editor of the yearbook, Pearl spent a mad year of advertisement-hunting, organizing, assembling, and list-waving. During her years in boarding, her efforts to re-establish the bobby sock era were consistent but futile, Shirley plans to make her mark at the U. of M. Our congratulations go to all her future Agneses and Olivers. BETSEY MATTHEWS 1964-1968 BRAEMAR Betsey, our Calgarian, has achieved success in many extracurricular activities, although she failed to set-up that long expected filing cabinet in her hair. She was one of the more expressive members of the choir and supported the musical segments of the Folk Masses with her guitar. A member of Braemar, Betsey contributed both points and spirits to her House by her participation in volleyball, basketball, and other sports. In her spare time this energetic girl could be found working on the Bay's Teen Fashion Council or dusting coffins with Paul. Next year Betsey will take her Russian leg kick to Mount Royal and from there to McDonald College for Home Economics.

DONNA HOSSACK 1966-1968 CRAIG GOWAN Donna was a member of the Volleyball and Basketball teams, and of the Track Team, to the three of which she contributed a great deal. In spirit she was an enthusiastic supporter of Craig Gowang newspaper meetings, however, always seemed to be called for the same day as Games! None of us will ever forget her battle with her famous hair, from which her hair usually emerged victorious, or the experience of sitting beside her in Prayers. Next year, if she remembers, Donna f accompanied by her pet skull, Jerome j intends to become Manitoba's first grade thirteen student. Happy studying Hoss. WENDY JOHNSON 1967-1968 BRAEMAR When the Blonde Bomber arrived at B. H. , it was immediately evident that her two main in interests were groovy guys and food Q happiness to Wendy was like potato salad--spread it around and you've got a picnic Q. Wendy was turned-on, tuned-in and easy going throughout her year at Aikins. Though the struggle was great, she didn't let her social life take the place of her academic goals. Among her doings and misdoings, she had many loyal involvements: supporter of Braemar, yearbook committee, door holder, and illustrious dieter. Our best wishes W.J. as she continues her studies at U. of M. JOAN GATTEY 1963-1968 GLEN GAIRN Joan, the Straw Boss and cowhand of the residence, has for many years spread her warmth, enthusiasm, and cowhides throughout Aikin's House. She was the House I-lead of Glen Gairn and its most loyal supporter, captive of the choir, and substitute teacher for grade three. After suffering the untold horrors of a residence for five years, Joan finally succeeded in becoming a weekly boarderg at four minutes to four every Friday, there was a cloud of dust in the driveway with Syd and Joan ahead of it. We wish Ioan the warmest of sunshine next year in Sunny Alberta, where she will continue her studies and spend free moments in the saddle at the ranch. LAURA JOHNSTON 1965-68 CRAIG GOWAN Better to be a full half -pint than an empty quart. Streak will always be remembered tearing around the halls chasing her Craig Gowanites to Games, She was willing to endure her new front position in the choir throughout the year Q as long as she had her Little Friend with her J. Her weekend home was Maxie's where, in purple and pink this young lady was surrounded by members of the Sunshine Club. Bound for the U. of A language labs, her services to the school will always be appreciated and many students will hold LASCing memories of her. PAM KEIR 1965-1968 BALLATER Wam and Rowedly were often seen cavorting through Winnipeg on weekends and other such times of gay mad happenings. Together they reaped the full advantages of the outside world. We shall remember Pam as a past mistress of the art of graphic storytelling in English only, and as an expert seamstress. Pam's disasters usually centered in the laundry room, and varied from unexpected changes in the color of her shirts to a dryer that threat- ened eruption. Long will this heroine be remembered for her bravery in the event of a blind date. The future is uncertain but bound to be a success. ,

ANNE MORTON 1966-1968 GLEN GAIRN Anne C with an 'e' J gave vent to her natural ability for holding forth as Literary Editor of the Yearbook, and in bringing joy to Mrs. Curtis. She took part in decorating for the dances so she could thoroughly enjoy them. Her enthusiasm was also given in active support of Glen Gairn, though with less enjoyable rewards. Next year she will take the social graces she learned in boarding to St. 1-Iilda's College and U. of T. 's Classics Department. LYNNE OWEN 1966-1968 GLEN GAIRN Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise . This energetic form six spent her one year stint at Balmoral spreading her musical abilityg Lynne, a member of the Winnipeg Girls' Choir, was an indispensable alto of Mrs. Birse's group plus an able accompanist at the piano. Lynne is particularly noted for her cheery voice and eager smile. Her hopes for the future include travelling, the swingingest date at Grad, a chance in the field of show business and a pass in Chemistry. Should the latter of these come to pass, Lynne will enter the Faculty of Pre Med in the fall. JEAN McKINNON 1964-1968 GLEN GAIRN Our one and only Twiggy and boarder's Fashion Co-ordinator, Jean could usually be found lost in a pink swirl of Seventeen and Miss Chatelaine magazines. Besides spending the better half of the day with Vernacular, and worrying about making it back in time to get his telephone call, Jean found time to support Glen Gairn and to support the sopranos with her soaring notes. Jeannie will be remembered for her grand transfiguration daily at four as she emerged from her room having changed from her uniform to civilian clothes. Who said there are Seven Wonders in the world? The best of luck to you at Ryerson, Jean It should be a lively place with you there. CATHY ROWED 1966-68 BRAEMAR I doubt it, Alice . Cathy, never known to have said a bad word about anyone else or a good one about herself, was a happy bubbly Head of Braemar C though rumor has it that she has threatened to hang any of her Games-Abstaining Braemarites with her tattered Prefect's cord 5. She threw her participation into the school activities with great zeal. Our smiling alto and Student Council member declares that grapefruit diets should be abolished from the earth, Due to the famous SCOTT -rush in the East, Cathy staked her claim, donned her dancing shoes, and come to Grad. Au revoir, Rowedly, and may your cheery grin someday, somewhere, find you your place in the sun. IUDY RUDD 1967-1968 BRAEMAR Rudless arrived from an undisclosed region of this province to contribute her sparkling personality to the residence and to the classroom. Judy added a great deal to her House in the field of academic achievement and as a games attender. Although Biology wasn't one of her subjects, Judy DOUG up a nice looking African specimen. If Judy WaSH'I at her desk or on the telephone, she was usually found burning the midnight oil under the bathroom sink. We wish her continued success next year in the field of science at U. of M.
