S A Al A R A 11 Six Matric THIS is your United Elmwood Samara reporter reporting from the Six Matric classroom. Stand by for the news. Political Front Operations on this front have been extreme- ly varied and widespread. They started with Mary Burns being promoted to Monitor and head of her house, Fry. Diane Boyd was elected Sports Captain for the school and, after crushing subversive activities in the cloak-room. Monitor. Judy Hargreaves holds the office of Counsellor at the moment of going to press, and favorable reports are re- ceived concerning her control of Juniors. Political activities reached their peak of inten- sity when Leslie Jackson, the powerful form boss, was defeated by Marion Mackenzie on a platform of less work and more social life. Wendy Quain and Christian Nothnagel are Monitors of the Silent Service of Elmwood— they are not often heard, but their power is felt. Social Column The social activities this season got a good start at the combined 6 Matric— 5A— 6 Upper Form tea. Speeches were made and toasts drunk, but unfortunately your reporter got Coke spilt on her pad and their context has been lost. Two smaller and more Bohemian gatherings were held by 6 Matric and 5A later in the season, but the most elite event of the season (tea with tablecloths and flowers) has not been held yet. The gossip of the Elm- wood Ball is far too extensive to be dealt with in this short column, and will be found else- where. Forecasts Boyd, Diana— Majored from McGill, Ph.
