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!

'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!

Jean Munn Ballater As this year's illustrious school captain, from Thomp- son, Jeannie Bunnytoes proved to be a gracious hostess to all visitors in her Penthouse suite. As Mrs. Tur- ner's prize pupil, she discovered, through an extra- curricular experiment, that when snakes and plan- arians are mated, nothing hapDens. Frequently gn the verge of panicking over the loss of Math books, or cord, or glasses which Hotch never failed to find, Jeannie's devious little mind ,kept ticking awa. This Dalton House Devil, with memories of a H221 gun saIute , entered Aikins House and proved invaluable the day she held her finger on the fire alarm, while sacrificing a beloved French class. As a master of many disguises, her most famous being the Easter Bunny, Bunnytoes will always hold near and dear to her heart the night she kissed Mrs. Byrne, Sr. A real killer on the basketball and volleyball courts, and master tmistress?J of Manitoba's famous mooguls, Jean plans on someday being a Phys. Ed. teacher. Starting the summer out as a teller at the Toronto Dominion Bank, Jean plans on being its manager no later than July 15, 1970! This summer also promises a trip west. What else can we say to this budding Chinese scholar, but Rots of Ruck? Karen Nesbitt Braemar Karen, yet another of the Northern beauties from Thompson, kept the school well tuned with those now famous words When I say sing - SING! One fine day a super sleuth came upon an unidentified object, forming the case of the Big Blue. We all went back to that fateful evening in January when Karen was faced with having an explosion. When it was sug- gested to Go West young girl, go West she did. ln returning she found a certain white car and contents had trailed her back. Karen soon found herself a fre- quent visitor of 555 River f Sweet 6063 from where she returned happily. 11:23 in Jan's room will long be remembered by our guitar picking Choir Head. Karen will send you all tickets to her first opera performance! This summer Karen is working in a drug store, saving up her millions in Jean's Bank, for a trip West. Good luck at U. of M., Karen!
