Constance Winter Craig Gowan Connie, yet another of the Thompson Tweeties , spent a busy year playing musical rooms and holding up the alto end of the choir. Though her mail volume was decreased this year, she still received a fair amount of male. A birthday present from a cer- tain young gent left Connie bubbling over with joy. While rooming with Wing, Connie acquired a brand new hair-do, which caused a few minor problems, until she became accustomed to putting the rollers in herself. As Mrs. B.'s pet, how can Connie forget, Constance, what is a constant function? Connie's athletic endeavors earned her a place on the volley- ball and basketball teams, as well as clearing her a wide path on the ski slopes. To show off her all- American football form, a football was purchased and Connie spent many a Saturday afternoon playing with Steve. Someday Constance Jean hopes to work underground in the Thompson mine. This summer there will be an orientation trip south, before Connie enters nursing. We wish the future head nurse all the best of luck at Ball State! Shirley Wing Ballater Winger, BaIlater's boisterous head, began her final year at B.H. with a bang, by being half of the best dressed team at the Hallowe'en Dance. Her prize - why, half of a 63 lb. pumpkin, of course! Not exactly famous for coming in on time, Winger spent a large part of her time concocting ridiculous excuses. Coming from Saskatoon, where mountains aren't too numerous ithough there have been rumors of onei it never ceased to amaze us where she acquired her fantastic skiing talent. At Sugar Hills she made her debut on a chair lift and ended up going all the way around when she discovered it didn't stop to let you off. lFlNE!l Though not yet the world's fastest eater, Wing works constantly at her life-long ambition, to be a fat lady in a circus. Love that Turkey Pie! , eh Wing? With plans of going to Penticton, B.C. this summer, and then on to University of Saskatchewan, Shirley is sure to do well in whatever field she chooses.

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.
