SAMARA 23 ' We must all hang together or assuredly we shall all hang separately. ' — Benjamin Franklin Genevieve Bronson. — ' ' Her smile is sweetened by her gravity. ' ' Denny, who is a Senior Prefect, came to Elmwood in her infancy and has ever since spread her gracious influence throughout the school. She finished her Middle School Matric at the ripe age of fifteen, with the scandalous record of ten firsts. She sounds like a studious bookworm, but ask us! ! ! ! She is a master of the finer arts, music, singing, dramatics. . She likes Yardley concoctions, wind on her face, pink Kleenex, lilies-of-the-valley and red tennis balls, but the less said about fish-bones the better. Next year she will be back with us, struggling with sauce-pan, needle, paint-brush, iron and spot- remover as she finishes her education with the arts course. May she not acquire dish-pan hands! Betty Hooper. — ' ' My feet are heavy hut on I go. Hoop, one of our Senior Prefects, is head of Fry, Captain of the School Tennis Team, besides play- ing a very active game as roving center on the school basketball team. This is her eleventh and last year after a varied career at Elmwood and we shall miss her buoyant personality very much when she has gone. Her chief characteristic is her hair which is a source of worry to the prefects, especially after its weekly wash, since we question how much sleep the necessary curlers allow our blonde colleague. Next in importance come her walking apparati which behaved exceedingly badly this winter, necessitating much care as well as our deep ( ?) sympathy, but we are pleased to note that both are progressing favourably at the time of publication. When she is knitting, her face is the cynosure of all eyes as it is put through its eccentric contortions. Her tastes include pop- corn, Hetty, see-saws, high heels, angel cake and skiing au soir.

SAMARA Ethel Southam. — ' ' Founded upon a rock. ' ' Cool, calm and collected, Hetty is a Senior Prefect and Head of Nightingale. She also aspires to great heights on the Tennis and Basketball teams as well as in the kitchen, while her happy nature helps us whenever we discover that life is not a bed of roses. Her latest acquisition is her jaunty car Tantrum, in which she often conveys the weakly cookingclass to further its domestic accomplishments at Oakhill Lodge. Her chief pastimes are valiantly upholding and defending the family newspaper, practising to be a boarder and drawing windows and painting curtains much to the fascination of the unartistic VI upper. Among the objects of her affection, are sleep, her little watch, Hoop, tennis and chiens chauds. Barbara Kennedy. — ' ' A beam that smiles the clouds away. ' ' Head Boarder is Ken ' s title and well she lives up to it and from morning till night she worries over her brood like the old woman who lived in a shoe. She is fittingly Sports Captain of the School and also of Fry, and plays energetically on the basketball and tennis teams besides trying her skill at many other games. As our secretary, she sprinkles crumbs between the pages of our precious red notebook in which she keeps the notes of our prefect meetings and good- ness knows what else. Her gifts of story telling and imitating greatly amuse us in Our Cherished Hour. Of any Elmwoodian, Ken has hailed for the past six years from the farthest point west, and admirably advertises Sunny Southern Alberta as the spot in Canada. Among her various pastimes are making lists, struggling with matric, tidying the sitting-room, keeping a diary, and making time, and she is crazy about treaclepie, Jasper, bulldogs, hot baths, golf, and her camera from which issue streams of peculiar pictures. She evidently believes in See yourself as others see you.
