SAMARA 13 OA.m A oiel VI MATRIC The first term this year found VI Aiatric only one-half its former size as 5A, but louder and full of more enthusiasm, (not all for school work, though!) The class consisted of such able members as Margaret Boehm, Jill Edward, Felicity Giles, Janet Lawson, Shelagh Macoun, and Cathy Prudham. Aiargie Boehm shared the honor of playing the morning hymns with Patsy Knowlton, while Jill Edward accompanied the vocal cords of the boarders in the evenings. The form members seemed to do a great deal of travelling during the year. If it were not to Edmonton or New York it was to the Ottawa Civic Hospital. Janet Lawson went to New York and Toronto. Cathy went to New York and also hopped on a westbound horse to Edmonton; while Jill frequently ended up in the troop car of the train bound for Sudbury. (This was always a mistake though.) Felicity was very lucky too, to go to New York at Easter and quite often into Quebec. A familiar sight going from home to boarding school is Felicity, with her suitcase under her arm. Shelagh Macoun and Margie Boehm were the most frequent travellers to the Civic, while Jan Lawson joined them once after they were in a car entangled with an O.T.C. bus. (It seems people are always grumbling because they miss the bus but I am sure Jan, Shelagh, and Margie would not have minded in the least if they had missed a certain bus). The school basketball had three able players from 6 Matric: Margie Boehm, Cathy Prud- ham, and Jill Edward. The whole form starred in all of the school sports when not laid up in casts or wheel-chairs. Miss Dixon has joined in all the fun and troubles of 6 Matric and 5A as form mistress, and is considered by les filles as one of the girls. VA VA this year has been the form with a foreign flavour and we are a miniature United Nations. Besides that, we are a class of extremes (that is in height!) As one can see, we are altogether different. In September we had a new member, Janet Hanson. And here is a tip, whenever you want to find Jan, always look in front of a piano and you will not have much trouble. In the fall Elizabeth Wijkman left us for Woodstock Country School in the United States, and we have been very happy to wel- come Annika Book from Sweden who came to us after the Christmas holidays. It didn ' t t ake her long to pick up English! We did not have to wait long for another new member; Salma IkramuUah arrived from Pakistan. She makes up for her lack of size in other ways. Marianne Lovink came from Holland last year and has made her presence heard if not felt. Representing Fry she played in Senior Badminton. For the second year we have been so lucky as to win the debating. Jennifer WooUcombe as our leader is a tops debater. She is also on the school Basketball team. Both Jo-Anne Davis and Sandra McKee were in the school play and in the debating against 6M and 5B. In the spring Sandra became a monitor, and she and Jo-Anne were our form captains during the year. Last but not least is our form mistress. Miss Dixon, whom unfortunately we had to share with 6M. Woe is us! VB For the past ten days we have been wading knee-deep in attempted form notes; among the remnants we find:

14 SAMARA . . . One of the many fads this year has been the Misguided Missiles , (commonly known as paper darts) thrown principally by Nancy Perry and Virginia Shurly who seem to have a lot to say, mostly in Piglatin . . . . . . On walking through the cloakroom one receives a rude shock; Sarita Setton stands in front of the mirror admiring herself while Sheila McCormick criticizes and Sue Richard- son bounds in and out, skipping or wielding a bolo-bat with great dexterity . . . . . . And from the window Janet Chapman, who has a bird ' s-eye view, reports the menu for lunch delivered with graphic explanations. Suitable comments are made by back seat Bradshaw who has a caustic remark for everything . . . . . . And round the corner comes a Latin book with Meg Reynolds behind it. Arriving at the board she writes Hello (something we could never find a reason for?) and com- pletely upsets Tish Heeney who is lazily drawing an abstraction in a fit of genius . . . . . . Wendy Gilchrist, who is going abroad this year, furnishes Joan Maynard with a description of inoculations, passports, and other necessary precautions much to the annoyance of Miss Leonard, our Form Mis- tress, who is demanding quiet . . . . . . There is usually a small huddle around Joan Pagan ' s desk and the occupant, which reveals Olga Kingsmill, Lambie Steven and Joan Campbell discoursing upon the most recent movies and stars with which the inside of her desk is paved ... . . . Jane Mulholland, a slightly distracted form captain hops into Prayers minus her glasses and tie and a heavy tread from the suffering stairs introduces Josephine Stone, a recent arrival from Argentina . . . . . . Terry Paes and Shirley Thomas left us after half a year. Do you blame them? . . . VC Admiral Krupka, we welcome you on board the H.M.C.S. Five Seas for the inspec- tion tour, boomed Capt. Welbourn, Willy, as she is usually called by her ship-mates. Cmdr. Frances Wood, engineer, went on Willy, not mentioning that Fran is her best pal and they would stick by each other even if they were blown overboard. Which would not be surprising for those two! There goes two bells and there is a great rush and helter-skeltering from all parts of the ship and everyone is diving down the ladder to the dining room. We hear a patter and a pair of dithered feet running around and there is Lt. Freiman, our boisterous radar expert, grabbing a sandwich and muttering something about 3 minutes fog-aye, aye! and that is the end of that. Lt. Ashbourne is pounding away on the piano trying to pick up the tune of Anchors Aiueigh. She is not progressing because of the seagulls overhead! In the galley is Able Seaman Ewing labori- ously making shrimp and lobster pudding (the rat poisoning beside her!) Or. Seaman Beef Brown rushes in with a stackful of dirty dishes, depositing them topsy-turvy in the sink and rushes out. She is chief steward, and funnily enough, she seems to be swimming in her apron. I wonder why? But whom do we see in the corner peeling potatoes? Or. Seaman Wright just barely enlisted. On her list of chores is putting out the garbage and swabbing decks — but detail! Down in the engine room all greasy we see P.O.s Strain and Naz Ikramullah. The latter just came from a foreign ship and is very interested in engines. We find her upside down drawing beautiful women with a grease can in the fuel tank. P.O. Strain is busy trying to remember her code or shorthand, as the case may be; on reports.
