Martha Pennock Craig Gowan Mopsy , our thorough adviser on everything and anything, made the scene yet again at B.H. this year, although she was most frequently seen in the shower at S.J.R.! Martha's smiling face carried that warm KENTucky sunshine into the hearts of her drama fans each noonhour, but unfortunately, the actress suffered severe sunstroke all year and were unable to perform. Although her cheers were heard far more frequently in Dutton Memorial Arena, Mops was a fine representative on the school fairy-dancing er . . . cheerleading squad. Entertaining doleful boarders was Mops' way of having fun - one guest liked her hospitality so well that the visit lasted two weeks! Love those P.J. parties! Martha plans to take Drama at the University of Winnipeg next year in between visiting a little tin soldier in Kingston! Edelgard Roeder Ballater Our quiet long-haired Rapunzel, Edelgard, will remember 1969-70 as being the best yet in her long time stay at Balmoral Hall . . . right! During her short period as Editor of Oprinm Anni, Edelgard made a fine start on the book . . . have you ever seen such covers! Edelgard was also a stupendous soprano in the school choir. Leading a horn tooting procession in their white bomb to Mops' for the final stage of a party in her honour, will no doubt be one of the many crazy mem- ories of Edelgard's B.H. career. That, and all those rocking, Roslyn Road bashes! Edelgard's plans for next year are as yet indefinite, but we wish her all the luck in everything she does.

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!

Joanne Villeneuve Craig Gowan Jo-Jo spent a busy year as our energetic sports captain and as Mrs. Kobold's right hand gal. Her biggest hurdle all year was helping Hotch keep Jean from panicking, and while rooming with Jean, had a surprise visitoriB.S.l. Being athletically inclined, Jo was not only a major part of the volleyball team, but the cripple of the basketball team. This didn't stop her from helping Jean ref the junior basketball games, though. Being a cripple also put a bit of a damper on her skiing, but this ski-bunny headed off to Banff at Easter to make up for lost time and re- turned with the Pink Floyd's car. For the remainder of the year she could usually be found in the hot car, or at the A 8t W or U. of W. How Jo survived Grad and the aftermath baffled more than one inquisitive roommate. While turning Indian fit is possiblell this summer, Jo will be dreaming of competing in the 1976 Olympics, and readying herself for a Phys. Ed. course. We'll know she's there when we hear, My name is Whiskey Capone and dis is my brudder, Mary Brighteyes. Bon chance, Jo! Laurel Willis Braemar Aunti Lolly returned to residence this year to finish her last year at B.H. in fine style. With her contagious giggle, Laurel brightened up our Sunday nights when she came sloshing in tTsk! Tskll only to find herself being slowly but surely corrupted by Jean and Brenda. Corresponding with a certain gen- tleman kept Lolly busy when she wasn't doing her Math with Jean and Connie or making toast for Simmie. At Christmas, Laurel surprised everyone with wheat frogs, which is her own answer to our country's wheat problem, and these became every- one's pets. lnvermay's best Aunt for most excite- able, anywayl plans on spending quite a bit of time babysitting with J.C. Before going to University of Manitoba to become a social worker, Lolly plans on doing some travelling. Lots of luck, Lolly.
