FRY HOUSE NIGHTINGALE HOUSE

Olga Kingsmill: y4 merry heart inaketh a cheerful countenance . Olga, complete with infectious giggle, came to Elmwood five years ago from Rockcliffe Public School. This year she was one of the season ' s debs and has not quite recovered from the socal whirl, which began by her being presented to the Governor-General and will end somewhere in the Royal Vic. Olga ' s romantic attachments are many and varied! Olga is one of Elmwood ' s Fry House Seniors, in which office she exhibits her efficiency. This year she has combined Six Matric and Six Upper work successfully with the accent on her favourite subject (?) Geometry. Olga has the reputation of being a hard and a willing worker. Next year, Olga will be going into nursing, in spite of her pronounced aversion for our latest Biology probe, the creature in question being a rat. As we bid farewell to our future nurse, we send her to her new career with our best wishes. Nancy Perry: FowVe only young once; after that you have to think of some other excuse . Nancy, our fifth columnist at Ashbury, is one of the perennially young types. She is a House Senior in Fry, wears an improvement medal, and is taking her Senior Matric. Five years ago Nancy was a leading member of a terrific group known as the gang . Her activities with this group are varied, ranging from T.V. parties and toboggan rides to parties which she takes largely for Granted. Nancy is an animal lover, having a bird, an Inky-poo (cat), and two dogs as well as numerous fish. She wages a continual war with all who wish to shoot animals. Her pet aversion is hearing the resounding whack of a cricket bat at seven a.m. although she is a sports enthusiast herself, being pitcher for the baseball team and sprint champion on Sports Day. Life without Nancy will be dull . . . lacking her jokes, photos, and certain up-to-the-minute reportsl This summer Nancy is going to help her father with his new camp, Kawabi, and will go on to Carleton in the fall. Good luck. Lambie Stevens: Her ways are ways of pleasantness and all her paths are peace . Lambie is an expert on extraneous information, Greek derivations and the Plaza Hotel, not to mention Turkey raising. She is head of the winning house. Fry, an enthusiastic House Senior, and one of the most conscientious members of 6 Upper. Her days are fully occupied with disciplining erring Fryites, doing justice to her Senior Matric subjects, writing College Board exams, reading Freud, and being a good friend to everyone in the class. Next year, Lambie intends to go to college in the States to study Social Service Work. We shall miss her Greek baclava (a delicious type of pastry), intriguing jewellery, lovely clothes, and (much as we hate to compliment people) her beautiful face. Good luck, Lambie, as you follow the steps of that first Social Worker, Elizabeth Fry. Frances Wood: O 3 give me a home where the buffalo roam Fran, or occasionally Woody, became House Senior and Head of Nightingale in one big jump from the ranks of her form. She is a good sport in more ways than one and always has a good story on hand, be it tall or otherwise! She was editor of the school newspajjer this year and acted in the Ashbury-Elmwood play as well as in Elmwood ' s senior play Sunday Costs Five Pesos . Frances wears a posture girdle, likes panda bears (especially the one called Henri), drives a swish green Dodge, and manages to enjoy quantities of Chinese food. Next year, if the call of the wild west doesn ' t sound too loud, Fran will be back at Elmwood! We hope to see her in September.

SAMARA 9 THIS year Fry has been the largest ever, filled mostly with new intermediates. At Christmas we lost Penny Staebler and gained Elizabeth A4acKenzie, Helena von Numers, Wendy Carter and Pam Cawdron. Lauretta Landymore returned to us from England after a year ' s absence. Staff advisers were A4iss Davison, Miss Maxwell, Miss Perry and Mrs. Stephen. Mrs. Bruce was our chief adviser until Easter when the promotion to her present position pre- vented her from remaining in Fry. We should like to thank the staff for lending their advice to our domestic problems. We are extremely proud to have placed first this year in both the House Collections and the House Plays. This was due to the wonderful house spirit of all the girls. The captivating performance by the cast in Campbell of Kilmohr deserves particular recognition. Gillian Neville, Emilie van der Vaart and Gail La Charity won special awards for outstanding acting ability. We should like to thank the girls who gave their time and talent to the making of the scenery for this Scottish tragedy. This year the junior school was divided into Pre-Houses and these girls contributed toward the House Collections. In January a House Party was given by the house for their benefit— this consisted of movies, tea, and games in the gym. Gillian Neville has been our keen sports captain. Although we did not excell in sports during the first two terms, we are hoping to do much better on Sports Day. I should like at this time to express my thanks to the members of Fry for their whole- hearted co-operation which made this year such a success.
