Patricia Heeney; ■ ' Bom with the gift of laughter And a sense that the world is mad . Tish came back from Paris last fall and has been raving about it ever since. She has sailed through her schoolwork with the greatest of ease and a bit of persuasion at which she is a past master. Her artistic temperament is revealed in her violin playing and painting. She is also the man Friday of the hymn book. Her expressive gestures and vocabulary consisting of ecoute and sundry vowel sounds such as Tunng also denote her originality. Tish has a very infectious chortle which she fails to suppress with drastic results sometimes. She will discuss almost anything anytime, anywhere, with anyone, and it is impossible to shake her firm convictions. Tish has only one constant aversion, that being industry, but of late pickles have entered her black book. Tish is heading for McGill next year with Jane so that they may finish numerous discussions that Tish hasn ' t quite won. Best of luck, girl. Joan Maynard: Why take life so seriously? You ' ll never get out of it alive . Joanie was recently made a house senior. A familiar sight is Joan moaning, The bell ' s gone , at 8:55 as she dashes from the classroom to take girls down to prayers. Her car is useful to a great number of us as she is continually pressed into taxi service by lazy pedestrians ( mentioning no names ) . Joan has a large fund of jokes and appreciatively aids in all humorous activities. She is Nightingale ' s sports captain and is on the school basketball team. Her sport is tennis but she indulges in badminton occasionally, which inevitably proves disastrous for her opponent. She spends all her spare time during the summer term at the tennis club. This produces excellent results, as she is the school tennis champ. As a sideline she is writing her Junior Matric, which does not worry her unduly. Joan is returning ne.xt year for her Senior Matric and more fun. Joan Campbell: Where duty calls or danger, Be never wanting there . Joan started this year as a monitor, but we were all very pleased when she was moved up to the exalted rank of house senior. Joan is one of those people who never forget to do something once they have promised. This is especially useful when it comes to providing food for officers ' meetings! French is one of the things she is most noted for, and we always know where to go to find the correct endings for a verb tense, or how to spell a word. But French isn ' t Joan ' s only claim to fame— she will long be remembered for her friendliness, and her willingness to help anyone and everyone who needs it. Sally Wright: Z must go down to the seas again . . . Sally, more usually known as Sal m ' gal , is one of the most industrious members of her form. Besides achieving high marks in her subjects of both forms, 5A and 6 Matric, she has risen from rank of isonitor to the exalted position of house senior and is the proud wearer of a posture girdle. Her talent for sports has shown itself all year and she has been a wonderful sports captain for Fry. She is most adept at convincing unwilling classmates that fresh air is really good for them, and is first-rate at arguing her points in Scripture classes, etc. She is the proud driver of a little red convertible (when she can get it), and owns a lovely cat, George— quite a resemblance there, both are blue eyed and very tidy! Sal is coming back to us again next year and will be as indispensable as always.

SAMARA 9 4f cMoule A oiel SEPTEMBER found Fry ' s empty ranks filled mostly by new girls, but they have proved that they are worthy to fill the places left by the Fryites we lost last June. We were very sorry to lose Laurette Landymore and Susan Richardson at Christmas, but wish them the best of luck in their new schools. At the beginning of the school year it was decided that the houses would only have one teacher in the house, who would act as an adviser. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Airs. Bruce for all she has done for us. In October Fry presented a serious drama The Valiant . We lost out in the plays; however, the cast of the play are to be con- gratulated. The house was very fortunate this year to take first place in the house collections. Sally Wright has been our capable and energetic sports captain. With the introduc- tion of soccer this year, Fry came first. Here I must thank Susan Richardson, who was the sports captain for the first term. In basket- ball we did not do so well and are hoping to make up for our loss by doing better on Sports Day. To those who are leaving us, I wish the best ever ; to those who remain I express my confidence that they will continue to strive towards those ideals of Elizabeth Fry which have guided us for so long.

KeUen ouIb JVoiel KELLER received many new additions this year, namely: Jane and Joan Yates, Susan Belcourt, Sandra Drew, Jana Stepan, Lilias Ahearn and Lynn Castonguay— who became very valuable to the house. Un- fortunately, we lost Andrea Rowley, Marlene Anber and Barbara Webster during the course of the year. We were honoured to have Madame Krupka as Keller ' s Staff Adviser, since it was decided that the staff in general should not be in houses this year. Keller managed to win the drama competi- tion with a play called Michael — all the cast and helpers deserve medals for patience! Unfortunately, we did not do so well in the house collections, which Fry won. Due to the supreme eff orts of Sheila Mc- Cormick, our sports captain, Keller won the basketball tournaments, although we were not so successful in other sports.
