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.

Elizabeth Edwards: E ' en though vanquished she could argue still. ' ' Liz is Nightingale ' s chief high mogul . Apart from this, her fame lies in her zoological exploits. Rarely she arrives in the sitting-room without a cat ' s cornea, or the brain tissue of some poor helpless frog. Next year Liz hopes to pursue these barbarous diversions at some institute of higher learning, probably McGill. Her pet aversions are singing, and apple-pie beds and her weakness is Ronald Reagan. With alarming frequency Liz turns friendly discussions into heated arguments, so we see for her a bright future in Parliament. What ever she eventually does we wish her the best of luck. Nancy Kennedy: All the world ' s a stage. Nance hails from Bissett, Manitoba. This is her second and last year at Elmwood, where she is completing her Junior Matric. Kennedy hopes to see her name in lights on Broadway, but we think she will reach the neon as an advertisement for health shoes! She spends most of her spare time practising with the choir; modeling for the art class; reading out detentions in prayers; and impersonating various characters, including: Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Scarlett O ' Hara, and Thomas Leaf (of Under the Greenwood Tree fame). For next year, Nannie has not made any definite plans, but we are sure that whatever she decides to do, she will be a great success, and we wish her the best of luck. Ann Croil: Why take life too seriously? You ' ll never get out of it alive Croil our energetic Sports Captain spends most of her time catching the Gym class as they leap over the horse. The only piece she can recognize is Begin the Beguine and that ' s be- cause it ' s the one where there ' s no singing. She wisely shrouds her private life — but the odd sock, size fourteen, gives her away. As far as the future is concerned, anything will make her happy as long as she ' s off on her own hook. Good luck, Croil! Ml
