MARNIE STOVEL '71-'74 Marnie came to B. H. three years ago armed with a stack of records and a cheery smile. Originally from Alberta, Marnie's home is now in Colorado. Residential students will best remember Marnie for complete involvement not in residence but at the dinner table! Don't bother trying to start a conver- sation with her at the table least you disturb the delicate concentration waves that bounce from Marnie to her food. As Ballater House Head for two consecutive years, Marnie could be found cheering from the sidelines adorned in her bloomers and white shirt. After all bloomers almost look like shorts, don't they? Marnie plans to travel for awhile before enrolling at the University of Colorado in Denver. Valedictory Address

GEORGIA LOVE '73-'74 Georgia has to be the hardest person to see eye to eye with not only be- cause of her 5'3 height, but because her artistic eye seems to grasp more meaning out of ordinary fruit bowls than just bananas and oranges! It's not surprising to walk into Georgia's room and find yourself in the midst of what seems to be a jungle. Her love for plants becomes obvious as you find her stroking their leaves and cooing to them. Georgia will tell you that plants grow better with a little love. Georgia, Vice-President of the Grade XII Class, contributed much of her talent to B. H. this year in the way of the excellent art work done for posters, programmes, and, especially, for Optima Anni '74, Georgia plans to study Fine Arts at the University of Manitoba next year. T DAWN STEPHEN '70-'74 Dawn came from Dauphin four years ago bringing us a jovial personality and good, common sense which later became essential qualities in making her a Head Girl to remember. Dawn could be counted on to hear out your grievances and her quick de- cisiveness was often the necessary bridge to calmer waters. Dawn helped us through the more turbulent times and made all the good times even better. Dawn plans to share her healing ways by studying at the Health Sciences Centre School of Nursing. SIGNY STEWART '60-'74 Signy, a Winnipeg girl, came to Balmoral Hall four years ago? No, seven years ago? Wrong again - try fourteen years ago! That's a long time but these years have really paid off. Quiet and loyal, our School Captain could be found at any B. H. function and usually up front and in the action. When Signy was not involved in some function, she was working on the yearbook, singing in the Choir, or perhaps involved in running a Junior School House activity. lt is not uncommon to get a postcard from Signy with a French or Spanish stamp on it as she enjoyed several trips to Europe during her school vacations. Next year, the Faculty of Commerce at Queen's University will roll out the red carpet for Signy, our Manitoba Scholarship Award winner.
