In Memoriam Miss Jonna Lee Morris, 17, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John C. Morris, 502 East Pine River Road, was killed No - vember 3 when her bicycle was struck by a car on Dopp Road. Jonna was a Senior at Bullock Creek High School for only two short months. Prior to that she attended Regina High School. Though she was a member of the 1972 Senior class for only a short time, Jonna was quick to earn friends. She was liked and respected by both students and faculty. Jonna would have graduated near the top of her senior class. While attending Regina, Jonna was secretary of the Student Council and the Girl's Athletic Association. She was also president of her 4-H Club group. At the time of her death, she was a co-op student working part time at Northern Animal Clinic. She was also a member of St. Brigid's Catholic Church. In her memory a donation was collected from students at the school and added to a special donation from the senior class to be given to Harbour House. It is also in her memory that the staff of the Lancer dedicates this space, in the hope that she will be long re- membered by her fellow classmates, friends, and teachers. 131
