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. Ed., B.A., M.A., Ph.D., R.N. Burns, Mary— According to herself: See PoHce Files. According to us: eminent novelist on high literary plane; her books set for Senior Matric study. Hargreaves, Judy— B.A., M.A., B.Sc. Cam- bridge. Is now M.P. for Farmers of Eastern Canada. Jackson, Leslie— Carleton, Major in Languages. Works as diplomatic spy while studying to be a musician. McAvity, Joan— McGill; graduated in nursing and Good Times. Result: husband and children, who, she maintains, are cheaper by the dozen. Mackenzie, Marion-Carleton, McGill, B.A., M.A., Head professor in Mathematics at Cambridge— famous book Algebra in ten easy lessons . Nothnagel, Christian— First class honours from Elmwood. Discreet, calm and unruffled business secretary for large international combine. Quain, Wendy— A.T.C.M., Dom.Sci.; intends to marry agricultural husband and plough roads for Kingsmere. And that brings the news up to the minute, ladies and gentlemen. The time is now 19.50. Dial E.L.W.D. Rockcliffe. VA THIS year we have decided to classify our- selves, for the purpose of our form notes, □nder the following headings— Identifica- tion; Nickname; Favourite Expression; Weak- ness; Pet Aversion; Future. So here we go: Norma Baird-smile; Master ; Oh Dear! ; food; people who don ' t eat; being another Florence Nightingale.

12 SAMARA Eloisa Madrazo-hair; EUie ; Mama ; Ex- cuse me ladies! laughing; the Kissing Bandit; Teaching Spanish at Ehnwood. Olga Castillo-freckles; Olga; Que? ; sleep- ing; the rising bell; still learning English. VC Jo-Ainie Davis is our form captain, and a very conscientious student. She shares the equestrian skill of the form with Lynne. When asked her ambition, Jo says that she wishes to be a better rider. To this we all reply that she couldn ' t be much better, for she is so good now. Olga Cavalcanti ' ' s main interest, or one of her interests, is ballet, and we usually find Olga doing graceful pirouettes or glissades into her desk. On the other hand she is often getting ready to go to the dentist ' s with many sighs and moans. Her greatest ambition is to be a nurse. Her favourite expression is In Brazil we do . . . Ly nne May burr a Kellerite, is vice-captain of the form. One of her pet expressions now is Holy Dinah! Lynne has talent in sports and lately she has won many honours in the riding field. Lynne is very quiet in class, but out of class she tells a different tale. Alison Mackenzie is known for getting the mistresses off the track and always has a good story or a joke to tell. She is the only member of the form on the school Basketball team. She is good in Badminton, and her interests run from the dictionary to stamp collecting. Sandra McKee, known as Grandma , is usually found strugg ling over the last Latin sentence. She saves us all from many black marks by keeping us in order when we get too noisy. A fai ' .hful member of Nightingale, she is laughed at for her French-Canadian accent when speaking to Mademoiselle. Her ambition is to be a doctor— the poor patient! Tina van Roijen. 1651, says Miss Dixon. Navigation Act, pipes up Tina. Tina is firm on the Navigation Act, being a loyal upholder of Holland. One of our more quiet class- mates (I query that— Magazine Adviser), she is a member of Fry, and is often to be caught gazing out of the window into space. Elizabeth Wijkman. If you want to know who comes dashing into the room just as the second bell is heard, and who has no pen; who can ' t find her homework books at 3.50 and whose books those are lying under the desk— the answer is Ehzabeth! In studies she ties in close competition with Jennifer. She is a genius at English. Is that why she stays so often after school doing it, we wonder? Hope Woljendale, a member of Fry and a boarder, was the only newcomer we had this year. She was quite timid at first and must have found it hard to get used to the boisterous environment of VC. Jennifer Woollcombe blew into Elmwood in 1944 (poor Elmwood!). She is a loyal sup- porter of Keller. Although she gets a little out of control sometimes, she always manages to come out on top in the examinations. Both she and Elizabeth wrote stories this term to enter for a competition, which left the rest of us gasping! Later we learned that Jennifer won a Second Prize. Congratulations, Jennifer! rvA This year IVA has lived up to its old reputation of being mischievous despite the efforts of our poor form mistress Miss Overall. But we have some new imps as well: Marilyn Jeckell and Janet Chapman whose brains are made of per cent signs; Bobby Brad shaw our amazing writer; Terry Paes who has just written a book entitled How to Rhumba, Samba and Tango in Three Easy Lessons ; and last but not least our Eleanor (Home-run) Hamer, baseball fiend. Sarita Setton is still holding the record of being Form Captain longest, and under her stern orders the form quiets down — slightly, for through the door Wendy Gilchrist, Tish Heeney and Marilyn Jeckell can still be seen jittering up and doA n the room in a most peculiar manner. Sylvia Ricci is industriously poring over an English - Spanish dictionary while Shirley
