SAMARA 23 she got her bands removed. She is an all round girl in both sports and studies. Sandra Tootsie Sukerman — arrived at Elmwood from Kirkland Lake. She is our glamour girl of 5 B and is teased about her resemblance to Judy HolHday. Sandra Drew, Droodle — our little bomb- shell of 5 B from Rockcliffe (she has a brother at Ashbury)— is our French and music expert— Mambo anyone? Heather Petrie— was a wonderful form cap- tain during the first term. Heather is a hockey and horse enthusiast. Gail Dochstader, Doc — is the little Peace-maker and settles all the crises that arise in 5 B. She also did a very competent job on the form notes. Mary Gratias— the class jester, has shown another side of her nature by being a respon- sible form captain during the last term. In 5 B there are thought to be fifteen students due to the fact that our pretty young form mistress has been mistaken for one of the girls. All the 5 B feel very fortunate in being acquainted with her. We hope you have enjoyed your honeymoon at Elmwood, Mrs. Chater! Form 5 C Since our class is so large this year there is a wide variety of characters, namely: Linda Redpath— our sports-minded member of the form. Ellie Patrick— a most fortunate girl, having two brothers at Ashbury. Jean Garvock— one of the more studious and quiet girls in the class. Pat Elvidge— as you come into our classroom, the first voice you hear is Pat ' s! Gail LaCharity— The woman of cosmetics, Jana Stepan— sometimes the silent type— and sometimes not! Margo Pullen— the girl who likes LATIN! Eleanor Garson— our fashion-minded friend. Wendy Dochstader— the little girl with the big voice. Sue Hamilton— the only member of our class who enjoys tearing up small pieces of paper. Sue Campbell— quiet at times— but at other times! Beth Hay— the girl whose main interests are at Ashbury!

Franny Drury— a little girl with a big brain! Brenda Hill— poor girl, the boarders enjoy waking her because she lives right across from the school! Sarah Jennings — she just loves horsing around! Lynne Castonguay— the spark of the form! Lauretta Landymore, Pamela Cawdron, Nicky Beaudry and Mardi Thompson are new mem- bers, but we wish them the best of luck as we do Mrs. Stephen who does such a wonder- ful job as our form mistress. Form 4 A Since our class is quite large we decided to write our form notes under the headings: Pet Aversion, Favourite Expression, Ambition, Probable Future.

22 SAMARA Form 5 A Welcome to the eleventh session of the U.N. Let us start with Vicky Brain. She is the humorist of our daily sessions and an up and coming dramatist. This year we have two delegates from Glebe. One is trying to pass a bill in favour of the O.T.C. She is Audrey Fell who, living at the other end of town, does not have to do any transferring since the Bank streetcar comes to RockclifTe. Our other delegate from Glebe is Camille Beaudry who arrived at the session after Christmas. Our delegate from Lisgar is busily trying to read a bill in Latin. She is none other than Jane Murphy who, with Carolyn Bruce, is practically a boarder. Toronto is well represented in this year ' s session with two delegates. If you hear a piano medley being played (minus any mistakes) or see a person M ' ith Spanish book in one hand, comb in other, styling someone ' s hair, you will know it ' s Denise Karr and Janet Macin- tosh. Now the voice of Molly Sutcliffe booms over th e microphone urging all to come to the dance. She spent her tenth session with the U.N. at Ontario Ladies ' College and has spent time, in this year ' s session, planning the dances. Our delegate to the twelfth session is Sally Trueman. She was our industrious form cap- tain the first term and tried to pass many bills in favour of silence . Denise Karr is her successor as form captain. Of course, there is Barbara Kennedy in the back corner having a heated argument on communism with B.-J. Davis, Barb is doing an excellent job as president of the debating club. B.-J. is an active forward on the school basket- ball team. The strains of music from the front of the room warn us that Di Radcliffe and Joan Yates are brushing up on the Mambo between industrious sessions of Latin. Libby Bogue, our former Kingston dele- gate, is this year living in Ottawa. Lib is a guard on the school basketball team and sticks up for that Irish blood in her. Andrea Rowley, a former delegate, has just returned from diplomatic service in Switzerland. We welcome her back. And last but not least, we find our one Edmonton delegate, Esther Prudham, who is the industrious reporter to the eleventh session. The president of our eleventh session has been Miss Boyle. She has done a wonderful and difficult job of handling us. We all hope she will join us next year in the twelfth session of the U. N. (Unlearned Nobodies). Form 5 B Susannah Clarke— of late Sue— has become very interested in skiing at Camp Fortune, and especially enjoys it when her fredins are there. Helena von Numers— joined us at Christmas from Finland and has fitted in very well. Her many interests are dramatics and reading. Best of luck always! Bizzy Richardson— has been doing a won- derful job looking after Mrs. McAuley ' s little girls which will prepare her for later years. Sue Belcourt— is one of 5 B ' s (many) intel- ligent pupils. Aside from all her studying. Sue seems to find time for parties and such. Rosy Findlay— if you hear a noise in 5 B— you can guess who ' s making it! Seriously, though. Rosy is just friendly and nobody minds a bit! ! Sue Garland— came to us this year from Nepean. Her main hobby is riding and she places well in all the shows. Although she is not quietest member of our form, she keeps us all in good spirits! Sandy Graham-our little lady of 5 B- has been with us for seven years. She has been working hard and hopes to take a trip to California this coming summer. Lee Gobeil— has returned to us from Switzerland since Christmas, and we are all getting her to help us with our French! Franny Thumbelina Cabeldu— is only sixty inches high; her happiest day was when

The girls are always considerate; they keep my face clean and always rub me off well. As I look round the class, I see Susie Southam and Jane A-IacTavish, the Siamese Twins . They have so much in common, ani- mals in particular. Susie is going to be a Vet when she grows up. Darragh Richardson is behind them doing her homework. She has recently come from school in Switzerland and speaks fluent French. Laragh Neelin is the Einstein of the class and is always studying. Heather Hayley is smart in some ways and is very good at Crafts . She is making her mother a lovely apron. Next are Heather Hyndman and Joan Berry. Joan is the humorous one of our class, though the teachers don ' t always think so. She draws excellent fashion models. Heather shines in Maths, and French. Then comes Virginia who has just returned from England and next to her is Merida Woodburn who is the scamp of the class, though I must say, she has very much im- proved. She is board-monitress and I am her special charge. She hopes to be an actress one (fay. Sandra Comstock is a new girl and is help- ful to everyone. Anne Gilbert is the sailor of the class and is always talking in nautical language about battleships. During the year Lesley Kennedy came to the Form from the United States and Christina Plate from Argentina. Mrs. Davis has helped us all through the year, and we have been a very happy class. I am the blackboard and I wouldn ' t wish to change 4 B for any other class. Form 4 C The 4 C girls are gathering at Elmwood ' s most popular winter spot, the rink. On the ice are Susanne, Wendy, Helen, and June prac- tising the twirls they learned at the Minto Skating Club. Whizzing down the slope toward the rink come the skiers, Margot, Gill, Sheila, Johanne, Marjorie, and Brenda. But what is happening at the side of the rink? Some of the budding 4C sculptors are building a snowman. Judy is rolling a ball as big as her- self. Georgia is ready to put on the head while Margaret decks him out with her bright red cap. Sarah is offering the snowman her scarf as Rita adds the eyes, nose, and mouth. To complete the picture Miss Mac Galium has a camera ready to snap pictures of the outdoor girls. Forms 2 and 3 My name is Annabelle, and I am Anne Rowley ' s doll. I sometimes come to school with my mistress. Teresa brings her doll, Toni, to school, too, and we sit at the front and
