Elizabeth Haworth Never discouraged, except in her faith in JGC, Liz turned up again for her 11th and final year in BH. Unfortunately f'?l for the day-girls, we lost her to Res for the first term. Did Liz start something with her terribly long baths? Qm will be forever grateful for her Sunday night nurse - every weekend. After her type-cast performance in our Christmas play as the Angel-Devil-Conscience, Liz returned to normal, by once again joining the forces of the day-girls. Never breaking any rules unless she had permission, a familiar quote appeared: But l've already floored it! - and she still travelled at 10 mph. Liz accelerated lsomething her car couldn't dol to success as Miss 1971 Glen Gairn. Our star baseball player was too busy ful- filling her tasks as Head of Photography on the yearbook staff to attend any of the games, but, for her brilliant lay-outs, we forgive her. Moden's and Mrs. Sures' one wish is that Liz'beth give up eating Hershey-ettes. We'll all miss Howie's salty wit and unprofessional medical advice. lf Queens finds that you're too much for them, we'll see you at U of M. Best of Luck, Hayworth! Helen Hay Oh, no! I haven't studied my history! Helen led us to believe that all she did was horse around, but her report card showed differently. Hay was also ace at measuring the worth of each class, a good preparation for the unrestricted life NEXT year at the U of M. She could often be seen Snooping around a Maths room, or else passing time at A. W. Sals ESquire's. Exhibitionist at heart, Helen spent a lot of time on stage, catching her Beauty Sleep or singing John Barley-Corn. She did her bit to get this yearbook together, and was a faithful servant of the alto section of the choir helping to keep us always off-key. Helen made her grand entrance on May 7th with a certain C.K., and as we all know, Boys go on the left side, hey, Hay? B.H. will be sad to let Miss Hay go, because for an entire 12 years, she has been a martyr, er .... student at this hallowed hall. On to better things, Helen! I Connie Kucharczyk 5 Green Avenger strikes again! Connie began this year in a flurry of bills, papers, receipts, advertisements . . . in other words as Editor of our yearbook. We could count on a meeting with the yearbook kids almost every day. After hearty lunch hours, Constance would crash in not too promptly for a certain class with a certain Peter E. idealistic, Connie always had good intentions, but . . . May 7 was the scene of a double celebration for Connie. After all, not everyone hits eighteen on the night of her Grad or escorts a lovely lady to the dance, does she? Only Hey-Hay knows for sure. Connie tended to take princely soles in her theatrical endeavors this year, even though she was reduced from King Herod to a handsome prince on a squeaky horse. Our Russian Princess wasn't content to end her year in a hearse! It took Peter the Greattestl, to pull this filly into line, for she's no Moscow Mule! Connie plans on taking Journalism at Carle- ton in the coming year. We all wish you luck, Con, especially if you crash with Wess. 28

Cary Crocker Knock knock - Can l come in? Cary made her first appearance at BH in Grade 10, then took a short holiday back at her home in Vancouver for Grade 11. However, not being able to stay away, she came back to us for Grade 12. At the beginning of her graduating year, Cary in the Lonely Hearts Club was O'Conned into the position of janitor and ended her year by Strutting around the halls. 3:00 seemed Cary's favourite hour - going to the hospial, opening doors for wayward chicks, and cutting her hair - all three traumatic experiences. Mama Bear had a fetish for bottles this year - house points of course! Cary deserves the Sweetie medal for her thoughtful little gifts, like a valentine for everyone, and for being a jolly Santa. Crockett was game for all the sports, and tried out for numerous teams - so what if you ended up on the casualty list every time - eh Cary? The little kids that Miss Crocker will eventually be teaching after hheg time at U of M will certainly be lucky. We'Il all miss Crockett and wish er t e est. Susan Folinsbee Don't mind me, you guys, l'm really not this crazy! Silly Sally has been a constant source of entertainment to us since her arrival in Grade 10 from Susie's land, more commonly known as Lynn Lake. She has one big hobbie: man-hunting. Of course all of Sue's young men, which mostly have the name Dave, love her RED hair, her unconquerable appetite, and her absurdity. Sue at the beginning of Grade 12, stayed at a private home, but, fortunately for us and unfortunate- ly for Moden, she came back into residence. Residence, being a drag for Sue after so many good times, made her accept the position as Vice-President in the Lonely Hearts Club. Sue is an avid Craig Gowan fan who scares all the baseball fielders when she is up to bat! What a striker! Wow! Moden will never forget Silly Sally and I don't think either of them will stop showing or talking about their unique experiences especially in Montana and Kenora. Sue's extracurricular activities include Badmin- ton, Scottish highland dancing, piano playing iHouse of the Rising Sun is now famousl, and being witty, charming, and fun with people. Next year Sue will be attending U. of Manitoba in the Interior Design course! Good luck BIG RED. We wish you every success! Jean Forrest Parties, parties everywhere! Come on girls, we'lI see you there. This Souris swinger has really made the year a pleasant one for everyone. Jeanious Jean graced the hot lunch table every day, and is known as the Champion Chocolate Pudding Downer of the class. The den mother could also be found trucking in triangular trade between Tache, Voyageur, and a certain barbershop - is it something about Fort Garry, Jeanie? Later she became initiated as No. 1 Green Avenger, and participated in many a drenching but Valiant struggle. A permanent customer at Queenie's Crash Pad, Jean could be found wiping chocolate pudding stains off British History Alive, or tidying up for an unexpected guest. Lots of fellows were always around, some in the trees, some on the ground . . . drop me a line some time, Jeanie- baby. Either U of M or W will have to prepare for this nutty BH morsel next year. Rots of ruck, Jean. 27

Cynthia Lone I just had the best time. No kidding! Our buxom fire chief tBf2l knew the location of every door in the school tshe should after 6 yearsl and put them to good use. But it sure took her a long time to find Aiken's House door - until January. It seemed that every time she went to SJR she had to go to the John. However, once she overcame her problems and cleared up her nick-name tThanks, Mr. PJ, she danced to a new tune - the Highland fling. Braemar's Papa Bear and the Grade 12 vice-pres. tfirst terml was the winner of the Supporting Role of the Lonely Hearts Club. Cindy, stop blushing. While not living out new sayings like The Lone Fire Chief Burns 'm Burns , she might be found sporting red hunting caps or absorbing Coles Notes. Or, during first term, calling, Hey-ey Haworth who obediently trotted over to hear the latest from home mails Clone contributed much to all teams and other sports activities A crash course in Mme. Joubert's French class, was necessary to prepare Montpellier U for the worst. We hope you enjoy U of M to the fullest and please don't blow up their Chem labs. Leslie Lu Qui Our patient t?i Choir, er . . . Prayers, er . . . Assembly Head Q73 could always be heard at 8:50 saying, Help! What am I going to do for Prayers? However, even the last minute rush always developed into a variety of terrific Assemblies. One of the Big Three in the Metzo section, Leslie's quiet t?l voice alwaysncame on strong. She had a rather starchy time with potatoes until Christmas which Petered out into Macdonald's chips. Leslie's Little early morning bird watchings led to the next weekend's confinement. One of Leslie's favorite expressions was, I wouldn't be caught dead there. texcept at noon ducking into a car, eh, Les'?i However, she got to know the city better, including Gimsa. Leslie's tidy appearance tends to be deceiving, for she is reknowned for fighting her way into one of B.H.'s messiest lockers. Although her BH twin is not quite identical, they were inseparable until that fateful ski .week- end when Marg's knee got in their way. Leslie's plans for next year are still un- decidedg either UBC or Western, and she plans to move to Windsor on June 24. We'll all miss her. Good luck in your future endeavors, Leslu. Mary Martyn is if To Mary the Oscar for a Silent Performance these past 2 years, a well-deserved title for the class's only, tthere should be morei, non-participant in the local gossip. If you ever publish the secrets you've heard, Mary, the whole school is sunk!! Mary's uniform was neater than most, but fluorescent socks? - where are my shades? However, at Grad Mary prettied up and floated in triumphantly with her Persian rug. Her fortitude on the dance floor with the deafening band surprised us all. Watch it, Mary! Her Toilet-Bowl Stories, which kept Grade 12 in giggles for days, will never be equalled in English. Of course, it was the original dialect that did it. Mary will be at U of M next year in Physio-therapy. Adieu, Mary, and good luck. 29
