Gaye Douglas: She hits ' em straight, She hits ' em true, And when on the green One putt will do. Gaye is our golfer, but her heart belongs to pussy, Charles. She finds Latin a trifle difficult (you know how it is) but she runs up to the art room to recuperate from the strain. Every morning she finds the hymns for the babies and on the days when she hasn ' t her watch on, she runs around frantically trying to find out the time so she can be punctual with the bells. This winter she electrified us by wearing her fuzzy red angora mitts and she had the misfortune to get the mumps in Gone With the Wind (Ed. Note — Probably the only person on the North American Continent to do so!) Like Bea, she doesn ' t know what the future holds in store for her but if a headline on the Sports Page mentions Gaye Douglas as a champion golfer, we won ' t be surprised. Margaret Gerard: ' ' Laugh and the world laughs with you. Gerdie is managing the advertising and is she having difficulties! Last year she won the Senior Sport Cup. She toots to school every morning on Lulu, (her bicycle) and ' post tergum is Curly. She likes dogs, chocolate cake and hot-dogs. Her writing is a mystery to everyone but herself. She is now experienced in proposing, as Collins in Pride and Prejudice (it ' s leap year too), and loves to prance around in her black stockings and shoes with little black bows. Fritz (the hero in her German book) and Gerdie are very close companions — a little too close to suit her. She is our tuning- Fork to start Tipperary for marching in Drill class. Next year she expects to return to Elmwood and take her Senior Matric. Don ' t work too hard, Gerdie! Anne Shaw: Better late than never. Anne is our representative from Six Upper where she is struggling with Latin. Her o ne objective is to arrive at school at least in time for break. She spends her time at home riding over the fields of Aylmer. Anne is eagerly awaiting next year when she will trip off to Queen ' s to take her B.A. Look for her (if you ' re ever in Kingston), in Room Four, Goodwin House (her room has gold and blue curtains). Have a good time in the Limestone City , Annie, and leave it as you found it!

Mary Paterson: Oil thigh na Banrighan, gu hrath; Cha ghell! Cha ghell! Cha ghell! {Queen ' s yell) Outnumbered by Fry 3-1 in the sitting-room, Pat nevertheless holds her own. Besides being Head of Nightingale she is Vice Sports Captain, and is writing her complete Senior Ma trie, (she is already three-quarters deranged by Modern History and Upper Latin.) She adores scribbling in class, scansion, jitter bugging, and ' ' Begin the Beguine , and has a peculiarly soft spot in her heart for Scotland, about which she is always telling us. Next year, she will probably be found heading the cheers at all the football games at Queen ' s, for which University she has a terrific yen! Don ' t yell too loud, Pat ! Frances Bell: A perpetual friction of good sensed Frannie is our Games Captain and on Mondays tears around trying to get people to go to basketball. She plays tennis, basket- ball and badminton and is very enthusiastic about skiing, although she usually ends up with a few additional bruises. Fran ' s great- est temptation is to get out and play with the nursery class. Next year, if she makes up her mind, she will go to MacDonald and graduate a competent dietitian (Maybe?) We know that she will go far in whatever she does, so good luck, Frannie! Beatrice Black: She spik de Frangais au natural sam ' as habitant ' ' ' Bea hails from Buckingham and is head of Keller House. Nearly every morning she valiantly holds up some article of clothing and waits in the hope that someone will claim it. (She collects pound). On Mon- days and Thursdays Bea dons her fencing apparel and goes off to parry with Miss Graham. She also excels in French, Riding, Archery and Sleeping! Bea is known for her original ideas and you can always count on her to get the highest in general know- ledge. She does not know what she will do next year but photography will probably win out.
