rT MWOOD S A A I A R A 19 In keeping with Elmwood ' s tradition, we initiated this year ' s new girls and teachers at the picnic on the grounds of Lac Philippe. We welcomed back A4iss Shand as Head of the Boarding School, and from her we have gained all sorts of advice. New arrivals from the international scene were A-Iiss Danhof and Miss Hale, each teaching primary grades, the one from Holland and the other from Eng- land. The lower floor has grown to love iMiss A4oseby who has been Junior House Adother. On the Upper floor was A4rs. Bye, filling her busy role in our whirlwind organization. We were sorry to see her leave at Easter, but we have in her place A4rs. Edwards, who in her short time here has won our affection, for she has taken a real interest in us. At Christmas time we all sang ourselves into hearty appetites for the Christmas turkey and trimmings prepared by our favourite chef, A4rs. Adac. At the end of the week Santa made his yearly visit adding merriment to our Christmas party. Saint Nick this year bearing a slight resemblance to Joan Yates! Hits of the evening were poems portraying the characteristics of each girl and staff mem- ber as seen in the eyes of the Head Boarders! This gave us a gay start to the holidays. The next term was a long one for all, but one which we managed to get through with- out any major calamities, although there were some close calls, as usual! For excitement and change from the routine of classes, there were the formal dance, the senior plays, and the debating club. Each was a real success. A4rs. Bruce added to the succes du Ball by giving us extra time for pre and post dance parties. This last term is always a memorable one, especially for those about to leave who haven ' t another year to which they can look forward but have for the rest of their lives the un- forgettable memories of their school days. We wish them success, for all ' s well that ends well! VI Upper and VI Matric Officers: Head Girl: Frances Wood. Prefects: Susan Brain (VI U), Tonton Darricades (VI U), Esther Prudham (VI Ad).
