Jl(uUe Senior cund Mo-fUtoA . Josephine Stone : Hang sorrow; care will kill a cat — And therefore lefs be merry! Josephine, commonly known as Jo was made monitor at the beginning of this year and now acts as a first-class house senior. She also left 5B and jumped to 6M with such an unper- turbed manner that we would say she has done much in many fields. Her basketball talent also flourished this year and she played guard on the senior school team. But Jo has something that is rather rare — a personal vocabulary. Goodness knows how many verbs have been of her construction and to the ordinary ones she has added an O . Nevertheless we credit ourselves with excellent translation. We hope Venezuela will not keep Josephine home, as we are looking forward to her return in September. Jennifer Woollcombe: E ' en though vanquished, she could argue still Jenny has just completed a busy and prosperous year as head of Keller — she is also managing editor of our magazine. We can usually find her in the cloakroom trying to shove un- willing intermediates outside, or in the dining room trying to keep them quiet before dinner. She is always willing to lend a helping hand with any school activity — from turning the skipping rope for the juniors (although she gets her turn) to portraying the unforgettable Miriam in our Ashbury-Elmwood play Dear Ruth. But of all her accomplishments this year, driving seems to be the most successful — she even chose her own instructor! And, again, she made the school basketball team as well as keeping that high academic average. Jennifer is joining us again next year, and we know it will be as successful as the former years.

Catherine Prudham: ' ' ' Better late than never — belter dead than late . Our Prudy hails from the West and this year along with Boehmo worked to achieve her senior matric. One probably will not remember Cathy by her scholastic standing, but when it comes to sports she is up front. She served as a main forward on the school senior basketball team, excelled in skiing, upheld her position in badminton, and now is practising vigorously for Sports Day. Yes, Cathy certainly is the hardy type and maybe even a little arty. We all know of her partiality for the latest fashions and although she is one of us in a tunic, we must admit she stands out in the newest style. Now, if you see a blue Pontiac flying low around a comer, it ' s just Cathy who, living away out near Dow ' s Lake, has little time to travel that great distance to Rockcliffe Park so just clear the way! We say goodby to Cathy this year and, although she is uncertain of plans for next year, we hope she remains in Ottawa. 1 Jo-Anne Davis: Her voice was ever soft and low, An excellent thing in woman . Jo is a house senior in Nightingale, has a posture girdle and is the proud wearer of the Philpot Token. She is a wonderful rider, swims and is taking up golf. Among her school enthusiasms are typing, and chess with Shelagh Macoun. She is also one of our best actresses and achieved a memorable Southern accent in her portrayal of Dora in the Ashbury-Elmwood play. She is also the dependable Senior Librarian. Jo-Anne has two pet aversions, one which nobody can fathom. She actually dislikes noise, and untidiness too. Next year Jo-Anne is going to Carleton to continue chess with Shelagh, among other things. Best of luck, Jo! Marianne Lovink: Sport that writtkled Care derides And Laughter holding both his sides! Marianne took over the Fry House this year in a very efficient manner on which she needs to be congratulated. She is our only representative from the Netherlands and if we are to judge all the little girls with the wooden shoes by her, we would think of a great group of happy, fun-loving friends. If the garret is empty, one would no doubt find Marianne, pen in hand, composing her latest poem. In fact, we aren ' t sure, but many of us are of the opinion that is where she was when eight of us arrived on her birthday, saying we had come for dinner. Poor Skiminky (compliments of Jane) has not recuperated from that unexpected occasion as yet.
