S A iM A R A 7 Mickey Maiiion: ' ' She holds her little thoughts hi sight, Though gay they nin and leap . Mickey, christened Margarede, is our ready, able and always smiling Fry House Head. She directed Fry with a firm hand to victory in the house plays and house collections. Mick originated in France, as one can immediately tell (chic!) and she plays a mean game of tennis. Ottawa and insurance companies beware! Mick has her temporary licence and aids in the general burning up of Canadian and U.S. roads. Mickey has nimble fingers as well as a nimble brain and excels in practical as well as intellectual fields. Much to the envy of us all, she sews her own clothes and holds ton position in her form. She is the bubbling member of our form, with her big white smile, and we won ' t be able to imagine life without Mick ' s cheery Hi early in the morning. Though we don ' t know what Mickey intends to do next year (as a matter of fact neither does she!) we do know that whatever she does will be done to perfection. Wherever she goes (and it was prophesied that she was for the Far East) and whatever she does, we all send our love and best wishes for success. Andrea Rowley: I perfect njoomav, nobly planned To warn, to comfort and conrinand . This year Andrea, or Andy, as she is better known to all her friends, rose from the ranks of her form to become a House Senior and Co-Head of Keller. Besides being such an extremely efficient officer (one of the cherished few!), Andrea plays a tremendous game of basketball for the school team and works extremely hard on the dance committee. To top it all off she is an exceptionally good student; and French being her specialty, Andy may often be heaid carrying on a gay conversation witli Madame Krupka, much to the envy of the other girls! Elmwood is not the only school that interests Andy, though; it seems Carleton College holds quite a fascination for her. This summer Andrea bids adieu to Elmwood and is off to Germany. Andrea ' s cheerful smile, and pet remarks such as Hey Gracie! will be sadly missed around the halls of Elmwood, but we all wish her the best of luck in the future. Sally Trueman: That spoke so sweetly and so well . Sal is a busy girl as she is Head of Nightingale, a House Senior, librarian and is combining grade twelve and grade thirteen subjects. If you need some extra energy, just ask Sally for her secret formula, for as yet we do not know how she does it all. If you chance to hear of a iilay that is to be presented, just ask who is acting in one of the leading roles, and you will most undoubtedly hear the name Sally Trueman . Sally is quite a sports enthusiast and this year graduated from Pee- Wee to Morts in skiing. Congratulations! Maybe next year she will be skiing down Mount Allison? Sally is returning to her home province next year, namely New Brunswick, but I think she will miss the Gatineau slopes and her brother ' s motorcycle. Looking at Sally, tall and fair, one might think she is a graduating model, but really she is one of our best students. If you find an old bone, take it to Sally and she will label it with some scientific name, for she is tops in Biology. We think Mount Allison will welcome our talented leading lady but I fear Nightingale ' s loss.

6 SAMARA Esther Prudham : f yoli can keep your head when all about yon are losing theirs . Esther is one of those rare people who never fail to get out of bed on the right side. In her three and a half years at Elmwood she has thrown herself with such energy into all she has undertaken that this year she was made a Prefect and Sports Captain of Nightingale. She is also the efficient editor of Samara . Esther, who comes from Edmonton, is an ardent Eskimo fan and has been living in clouds for the past two years — Need we ask why? This has not prevented her, however, from making wonderful marks in her exams. Esther plans to come back to Elmwood next year and we know she ' ll sweep all the glories in front of her. Good luck, Es! Audrey Ashbourne: Her figure is lovely: she has very fine eyes, And her talk is a mixture of foolish and wise . Audo is delicate-featured and dainty (a Limoges product). She ' s gentle, calm, and very even tempered; however, occasionally two bright pink spots appear on her cheeks indicating her determination. This year she has shown her capability in her responsible position of House Senior and Co-Head of Keller. For the past four years Audo has migrated between Elmwood and New- foundland, having had a summer and a winter home like a bird. This last year, with Audrey as Co-Head of Keller, has been very bus.v, although she still manages to find time for poetry, letter writing, and fudge failures! Recently Audo became an aunt for the third time, and as a result she is much envied by the rest of us, her classmates. When Audo leaves Elmwood for Toronto it will seem as if a stuffy room has lost its only fresh breeze. We wish Audo the best of luck in the future, and instead of good-bye we say Hasta la Vista . Barbara Kennedy: Play up, play up! ajid play the game! If you want to find Barbara Kennedy, five foot four, blonde hair, blue eyes, just go upstairs to the boarding school. Barbara is Co-head Boarder with Tonton Barricades and has done a most efficient job in this position. Barb has risen to the top quickly in her three years at Elmwood. She is a House Senior and President of the Debating Club for the second year. I have been told that Barbara ' s interests are in the air. Who knows — maybe someday she will be a parachutist? Getting back to earth again, Barbara not only travels as a guard on the school basketball team but also is going to travel this summer when she goes to England and Scotland for seven whole weeks! If you are in the dining-room second period each afternoon, beware, because Barbara will be travelling through the dining room with R.C.A.F. jet power to arrive at her grade thirteen Biology class on time, with her Biology assignment in hand. We will miss Barbara next year, but we wish her the best of luck in nursing.
