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.

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.

PATTI SPARROW 1960-1968 BRAEMAR Keep smiling, it makes everyone wonder what you're up to. Patti, a veteran of Balmoral, has supported the sopranos for four years, has taken part in decorating for school dances and was an active member of the advertising committee. This blond whirlwind could usually be caught combing her hair or eating her lunch at rec. Working part-time at Eaton's, and participating in other weekend activities kept Patti so busy that we wondered how she found time to do her homework--but somehow she managed. Patti plans to enter Home Ec. at U. of M. next year and we all wish her success. TRISH STOVEL 1966-1968 BALLATER Our vivacious School Captain spent her two years at Balmoral in a flurry of excitement and organization. Besides giving wholehearted support to sports activities, affairs of the Business Club, alto section of the choir, and social events of the year, Trish was an able dramatist in the offices of wouldn't-be advertisers for the Yearbook. She was hostess to her classmates for several parties, and boarders always received the red-carpet treatment on out weekends at Trish's. U. of M. will gain a number one get-up-and-go girl next fall. May you never run out of energy, Trish. EILEEN WILTON 1967-1968 GLEN GAIRN Eileen is our friend what's artistic ability seemed to have been inspired during French classes. She deserted Roland to come and liven-up Balmoral. Eileen succeeded in becoming a weekly-boarder after Christmas and enjoyed her transportation to and fro with Mr. Reliable himself. During the week she added her alto voice and colourful personality to school activities. Eileen bravely endured the torture of the Dalton House juniors during the final term. With pooh bears and rose buds following in her tracks, Eileen is sure to succeed in Interior Design at U. of M. in the fall. BONNIE WILSON 1966-1968 CRAIG GOWAN Freedom I love, form I hate. Bonnie appeared amid a cloud of incense, lugging her bright yellow trunk and immediately adjusted her wardrobe to include the latest cords and Hondas g she also traded her old retainer in for a bright new one. She was an active member of the Craig Gowan I-louse, as well as being photography editor for the yearbook, a member of the Student Council, and captain of the Cheerleading Team. Bonnie was blessed with energy plus, enthusiasm, and continually got the best out of living and loving. We wondered if her affinity for fire alarms wasn't some indication of her desire to join the company of men who ride the red truck but she is considering P. E. at the same time. Good luck in your decision, kid.
