Tricia Forsythe Braemar After a hard day of classes, the always familiar, Roberta, wait for me! could be heard echoing through residence as Tricia's beloved kilt was ex- changed for jeans. Though definitely no basketball star, Trish supported the games as a cheerleader in fine standing. When winter came, so did the Ski-Doo Fever , resulting in Tricia's going home to Portage on the weekends with assorted guests. She also tried her hand at skiing, but found a Ski-Doo much easier to handle. The Christmas Dance proved to be a bit of a traumatic experience due to the sudden appearance of an unexpected visitor, but with the aid of Berta-Belle, everyone was happy! Playing musical rooms in the Spring caused frustration which was easily released with the purchase of a pea-shooter and a water pistol and the declaration of war. Since Grad was so much fun, Tricia decided to try it again a couple of weeks later, but the end results were unfortunately different. Trish plans to attend Mount Royal College for an lnterior Decorating course after a summer spent work- ing and travelling. Lots of luckl' Dianne Gourluck ' Craig Gowan At 4:00 p.m. the bell would clang, and amidst the clatter, one long-haired figure would glide quietly down to the' girls' washroom to commence her daily ritual of beautifying herself for the bus ride home. An hour later, our stylish advertising manager, Diane, clad in one of B.H.'s first maxis, left for home? Although Diane was generally the quietest member of the Honky Tonk women, she could often be seen in earnest con- versation with Claudius, er . . , Joan in English class. When we sent Diane off to Hawaii to smuggle in 48 pineapples for the 1969 Grad dance, Diane stopped off at Crookston en route to pick up a pineapple picker permit er . . . History award. Lots of luck next year Diane.

Deborah Davidson Glen Gairn Our illustrious fire chief and member of the year- book staff, came to us from wonderful Vancouver. Since she was not really an old girl, Bludadub went through the trials and tribulations of Initiation with a smile! Never quite able to understand how there could possibly be snow from October 4 to May 28, Deb decided that since it was there she might as well do something with it, so she tried skiing. However, when the snow gave way to rain, Deb, in true Vancouver form, resorted to puddle-jumping with Hotch. ls that why your hair shrank, Deb? Famous for her one man show starring Junior, Deb received more than one visitor this year. Every night our future educated bum i How rude i could be seen heading out to Sal's in a cloud of smoke. Will Deb ever forget Grad . . . room 606, and assisting the band? Her main ambition in life is to marry a brown-haired-blue-eyed-345,000-a-year'' type fellow. Good luck! Sarah Everett Ballater Sarah, our Ieggy first term vice-president echoes in her soft nymph-like voice for the forty-third time, Hurry, Lorraine! , and does yet another cartwheel while awaiting the usual response, I'm coming, Sarah. An avid sports star and gym champ, Sarah made the gym her third home this year lLorr's was her secondi. Sarah's theme song this year was aptly l'm leaving on a Jet Plane. Twice she flew on cloud 9 er . . . DC-9 to ai visit Hendon College in Toronto and bi to check out the Grad dance situation in Connecticut. Does it compare to B.H. Grads, Sarah? lt's O.K. Dad, l'm staying with the football coach. You're WHAT? Queens University has a real treat in store for itself when Sarah comes to'wow the Golden Gaels in the Fall. Have a blast, Sarah!

Jane Harrison Braemar With orange Leo letters spilling out the pockets of her blazer, and blue, red, and yellow knitting wool wrapped around her neck, Janie, our crazy first term pres. smiled her way through each term knowing that there was a Queen's sized treat in store for her each holiday. With Arno on her left, Flileychuk on her right and Connie below, Jane and Co. upheld in fine fashion the Alto section of the B.H. warblers. A certain home- coming at Thanksgiving resulted in Janie's teaching the cheerleaders a new routine called an oilthigh. Con- gratulations to Jane for missing only one of Mr. Jessi- man's phenomonal Business-women's meetings during the year! tFtumour has it that Jane found it necessary to zip out to the airport that noon hour to say good-bye to her favourite raccoon.J In spite of her love for French tprofs?! tFrench scrabble on Grad night did you say?J, Jane has decided that nursing at U. of M. may be for her. Best of luck next year, Rocky! Brenda Hotchkiss Glen Gairn A new girl this year, Hotch soon became a per- manent resident of the Penthouse . Initiation made a lizard out of,Brenda. As second term class vice president, her biggest responsibility was stepping into Jo's shoes to look after Jean. She did such a good job that she found herself with a house guest at Easter when Jean discovered she was unable to look after herself. Spending much of her time writing to a certain Med- ford place, Hotch could also be found puddle-jumping, weather permitting, of course. This Calgarian de- cided closest get-togethers were some of the better points of her year in the Hallowed Halls, and she will never forget 8:17. The balcony became a favorite place as Hotch changed colors in the sun. Over the course of the year, Brenda had a few animal problems which she and Jean would hash over, but the Rat was finally ex- terminated. This summer Hotch wants to live happily ever after with the Beautiful People and then plans to become a psychologist. Knowing Hotch, she'll probably wind up a psychologists patient. We hope Brenda will someday find her dream world! ,aww
