'79 7.12 I3 Anne Macdonald Ballater Could Sheffield ever have sent a nuttier export to Balmoral Hall? Wee Annie Mac, our lively mathe- matical whiz, and Eaton's Junior Councillor started her career at the 1969 SJR-BH bonfire when she was set ablaze tpardon, her heartl by a dashing young basket- ball star from Hinton. We ,have hardly anything in common - that's what is so great! On VaIentine's weekend, Anne received a tour of Edmonton's chocolate factories, and on our left we see Molson's. When she was not touring the Gates with Jane, Anne could be seen surreptitiously sipping Board Member's coffee with her evil accomplice. Anne hopes to go into medi- cine eventually, so it's off to Queens with her Granny glasses in September. Best luck, chum! Gloria March Graig Gowan Glowbee , Craig Gowan's boisterous House Head, makes her home in the booming metropolis of Morris, Manitoba. Being quite an athlete, Gloria was a fine supporter of both the basketball and volleyball teams, as well as being an avid skier. The last night in grade ten will always be Glow's favorite memory of B.H., but who can forget the private talks shared between her and Jean, stressing a thick Southern ac- cent? Her favorite song is definitely Bottle of Wine ll guessl. Hanging around looking for a car is a great way to spend her summer, and then it's onward to University of Manitoba for a degree in something or other. Good luck, Glow!

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

Heather lVlcNichoI Ballater Heather, our Head of Residence, and annual Clear Lake hostess, hails from Happyrock . . . er . . 1. Glad- stone, Manitoba. Homely's amazing ability to get into unbelievable fixes . . . then get herself out of them, will never cease to amaze us. The upstairs bathroom gained locks on its doors as a result of a Surprise party Hez had one night. Our Hez of Rez was seen more than once coming in late or going out early. How can Heather ever forget her farewell to grade ten and the grocery commissions? . . . then there was the eviction party on November 11 . . . ! Clear Lake's chief paper peddler this summer plans on going to the University of Manitoba, and having the wildest apartment in Win- nipeg. She is, however, still in the process of finding out how she wishes to spend the rest of her life. Luck be with you always! Lorraine Murray Braemar No, really you guys. Actually, Lorraine was definitely seen most frequently in Biology class. After having practically helped found the school, Pooh- Bear ended up doing a fantastic job as head of Braemar. Besides that, there were the episodes under the stage, reciting the ten commandments, and sur- prise attacks on teachers by jumping off roofs. Oh, did we? Or, what about the night Lorraine, Kathy, and Sarah walked Glow back to school, with the help of Glow? And everyone will remember the Belle of the Ball whose feet didn't touch the floor. Thanks for your interesting announcements in prayers, your amazing contribution to the choir, and lseriouslyl all your spirit, Lorraine! Any other comments? Ahhh . . . I was just asking Sarah if she wanted to go out at noon. Lots of luck to our drunken shepherd in Lausanne, Switzerland next year!
