Judy McCuUoch: No excellent soul is exempt from a fnixtiire of ?nadness. Judy, who holds the remarkable record of eight years at Elmwood, will be leaving us this year. She is an efficient person, and may be found busily checking borrowings from the library — she is librarian — or engaged in some duty that concerns her as Sports Captain, for games are Judy ' s specialty, and she has carried off nearly every sports award possible. Judy ' s weakness is Woolworth ' s candy counter, where she spends most of her out Saturdays. Don ' t be alarmed if you see Judy floating down the corridor; it ' s not Judy at all, but Judith Bliss, the famous actress. Everyone was impressed by Judy ' s performance in Hay Fever , the Ashbury-Elmwood play this year. Judy ' s immediate future is still uncertain; but next year will find her either in Australia, or at Bryn Mawr, or perhaps Radcliffe. Wherever Judy goes, we know she will get along well — for nothing succeeds like success.

SAMARA 23 AGAIN this year we are lucky to have Miss Philbrick for our games mistress. Our big sports event has been our basket- ball match with Hatfield Hall. It was doubt- ful if we were going to be able to go because of lack of transportation, but Mrs. Southam, Mrs. Curtis and Mrs. Buck very generously lent their cars, and we started out at 8.00 a.m. for Kingston, where the match was played. The Elmwood team emerged victorious from an extremely hard game, the score being 14-4. We arrived home at 6.00 p.m., after having had lunch at the La Salle Hotel with the Hat- field team. A4iss Philbrick gave up much of her free time to coach us, and we should like to thank her for her enthusiasm and interest. Sports Day Last year, 1948, Sports Day was held on June 7th. It was a successful day for Nightin- gale, who romped off with the prizes. The weather man was in a good humour and we had neither rain nor mosquitoes, so often un- invited guests at the ceremony. Nightingale won the Inter-house Sports Day Cup. The other winners were: Inter-house Relay — Nightingale Senior Sports Cup — Elizabeth Paterson Intermediate Sports Cup — Mavis Hothersall Junior Sports Cup — Shirley Thomas Preparatory Sports Cup — Lee McKay Basketball Our inter-house basketball matches took place as usual, and this year we have some very promising players among both the inter- mediates and new girls. Fry was the lucky winner of both Senior and Intermediate matches. We had an innovation this year — a game between the day-girls and boarders. The day-girls put up a very good fight but the boarders won by a fair margin. After Easter we hope for a match with the Old Girls. Ski-ing and Skating The boarders have enjoyed many good Saturday ski-ing trips both at Wakefield and Mountain Lodge. The weather has been very temperamental this winter, and although our ski-ing has been successful (except for a few bruises), the skating rink has been either very well insulated with snow or else swamped by the numerous thaws. Tennis This is the first time in three years that we have been able to have the tennis matches. The weather, however, proved excellent in September and October, and much interest was shown in tennis, apart from the matches. Fry was fortunate in winning the Senior games, but Keller won the Intermediate matches.
