SAMARA 21 Patricia Milliken. — ' ' Dance, laugh, and be merry ' Milly joined our ranks at the same time as Vieve, thus increasing the Keller element in the Sitting Room. Being in an Arts Form, her hardest work is her Senior Latins. She is Fiction Librarian and has spent the year collecting quarters from us for new books. She likes Fords and gardenias and losing balls on the golf course. She has the makings of a Grand Opera singer, but will probably waste all her talent cheering for Varsity next year. Genevieve Inglis. — ' ' Overexertion in any line should he avoided. ' ' Vieve became a House Senior in the second term, thus making the fourth Fry-ite in the Sitting Room. She is Vice-Sports Captain of the School and takes a prominent place in all sports. Singing and French are her chief betes-noires , and sitting at the end of the Prefect row in Prayers comes a close second. She is fond of driving a car, sailing, and eating licorice. After a year of debbing she has hopes of marrying a French Count — but our guess is that he will have to learn English! HEAD GIRLS Left — Margaret Parkin Right — Kathleen Warner

20 SAMARA Marjorie McKinnon. — ' ' The blush is beauti- ful, but it is sometimes inconvenient. The capable Head of Fry is wielding pots and pans and paint brushes this year instead of slaving over German and Latin vocabs. In her ninth and final year, we find her competently leading Fry to the close of a very successful year. Marjorie ' s flamboyant colour schemes for bedrooms are a great source of wonder to all her form-mates. As purchaser of our weekly teas, Mac spends from Monday to Thursday en- deavouring to extract ten cents from each of us. She likes swimming, swing skirts, and chocolates, but detests stews, and creeping things of all descriptions. She still aspires to a career behind the footlights — don ' t forget to send us tickets to your first night, Mac! Patricia Spendlove. — Skilled she is in Sports and Pastimes. ' ' Spenders as Head of Keller, Editor of Samara and School Sports Captain still finds time to do some Honour Matric. work. She wrote her Oxford entrance exams in November and after a year at McGill hopes to go to Oxford. (Imagine Pat with an Oxford accent!) During the winter Spenders spent Monday and Thursday afternoons dashing frantically around the school with a basketball list in one hand and a hockey list in the other. One of her ambitions is to sit opposite Kay in the House of Commons and finish the arguments they started in school. (From our experience in the sitting-room, beware House of Commons!) Patty is very fond of aeroplanes and intends to learn to fly this summer. We shall probably hear of her landing a seaplane on a peak in the Rockies. Dorothy Wardle. — Wei can she sitte a horse and Faire ryde . As Nightingale ' s only other senior officer, Wart-Hog has ably assisted Winsome throughout the year. She is completing her Matric. and intends to go to Queen ' s next year — then those frequent trips to Kingston will be quite unnecessary. She enjoys sports of all kinds, especially riding and golf. She dotes on horses and hopes someday to own a ranch some- where in the wild and woolly west near her beloved Rockies. We shall probably hear of her herding cows or jumping off glaciers, but, in the meantime, her adventurous soul must be content with day-dreaming of these over her Geometry theorems.
