Anne Binks: What He hath scanted men in hair He hath given thenf in wit. Among the more important happenings of 1940, was the arrival of Anne Binks from England. Since then she has kept Canadians in stitches with her witticisms and antics. Many people would die of heart failure if they could see her mimic them. She cherishes a secret passion for ear lobes. The combination of Kennedy ' s nightshirt and Binkie ' s Yorkshire dialect in the Keller Play, had a devasting effect on the audience. Every Thursday she is in her element, since Bing Crosby is on the air that night. Next year she plans to take a business course, and after that, well — our loss is the business world ' s gain, and we wish her all the best. - v. ' -.(.-is!- Anne Powell: In the morning Thou shalt hear my voice ascending high. Powell reinforced the House Seniors this term, and has been rushing around looking official ever since. The alto branch of the MacTavish Purple Stripes is completely lost if for some reason chore-practice goes on without her. You can often find her, dreamy-eyed, playing imaginary etudes on her desk. Her ability to arrive at school a split second before the bell goes, amazes everyone but Anne. News is her forte, and you can always rely on her for the latest. Still undecided about next year, she will probably return to whip through her Senior. Good luck, Powell! ilMonitor£( NANCY BOWMAN, SARAH WALLACE, AVRIL CRABTREE, NANCY PATERSON
