prefect J otes; together or most assuredly U hang separately. Ogden Blackburn: 75 there any more?, said Pooh. Ogden, our head girl, is -completing her eighth and final year at ELmwood. Food, Rugby and Caesar are her special weak- nesses. (They are also her strong points). As head girl, Ogden has one of the most difficult jobs in the school, and this year is a tribute to her efficiency and cheerfulness. Next year will find her at Varsity, surveying the campus through a mi- croscope, and solicitously enquiring after the health of her fellow Pre-Meds. In prayers we are occasionally surprised to hear a bass voice, slightly off key, wandering off into a tune of it ' s own. Singing is definitely not her crowning grace. Her voracious appetite causes great anxiety to her fellow prefects, who are afraid that they might lose out at Prefects ' tea. The best of luck to our future representative in the field of medicine. Mary Osier: We, who remain, shall grow old. Ose spends most of her time tearing her hair, wondering how tempus can fugit sofast. Andno wonder, as she isHeadof Fry House, and Samara ' s editor. She has a passion for getting into deep discussions with anyone who will argue. Right now she is determined to organise, a brotherhood of nations. A lover of the sea, she visits Nova Scotia every summer, usually returning with a dark tan, and the Blue-Nose twang. Her future will be decided after 1943, when Elmwood will finish her, or will it be vice versa, Ose? Joan Creighton: I love work — it fascinates me — I could sit and look at it for - hours. Joanie is the busy head of Keller House. Every morning we ' •■V ' ' hear that mello soprano roar Keller may sit before she dashes -i . off to choir practice. Joanie has a great weakness for jive ' and uniforms, but the most amazing will-power during Lent. A great student she can even tell you how to get a plane out of a spin (presuming you already know how to get into one in the first place). She and Bulah, her cherished bicycle, will be greatly missed next year, but we hope she ' ll be happy whatever ■ ' the future holds.
