S A A4 A R A 21 Also Laragh Neelin won the fourteen-and under championship. The team of Lynne Castonguay, Franny Cabeldu, Sally Sadler, Jean Newman, Bonnie Wood and Carol Bruce, all made excellent showings. Closer to home, in the school Badminton, competition was much keener than ever before, Lesley Gait of the Juniors beat out Jean Newman in a real thriller to become the champion, and in the Senior division, Lynne Castonguay once again showed her racquet arm skill by defeating Sally Sadler in an equally exciting game. In the doubles finals Sandra Drew and Lynne Castonguay won in the senior division, and Judy Ewing and Lesley Gait in the junior. Softball This year the softball teams were cut down to grades seven, eight and nine. This lessened the number of players so that every- body interested got her full share of playing. In the first game Fry downed Keller 27-16; second game Nightingale over Keller 42-28, and in the third and final game Nightingale took the championship. Gym Display On March eighth each form, under the very capable guidance of iMiss Barr, put on a display of what they had accomplished up to this time in gym classes. There were many laughs and many tense moments as the audience ooh ' d and ah ' d at such things as the energetic (?) exercises done by the equally energetic seniors, and the skillful tumbling and gymnastics done by the spryer members of the school. This year our returning- old boarders found some pleasant changes in the form of newly decorated rooms and lounge — the latter a comfortable, well-lit place where we could read, listen to the radio, play records or simply tell each other the latest gossip. The library, where we can now watch TV, the halls and the cloakrooms were also attractively painted and rearranged. We welcomed the new resi- dent teachers. Miss Carruthers, Miss Barr, Miss Banbury and the nurse, Miss Hunt, who throughout the year with Mrs. Edwards, our favourite Housemother, and A4rs. Hughes, the patient and understanding Junior House- mother, Miss Danhof and Airs. Cameron, worked hard to make this a pleasant and un- forgettable year for us. iMany new girls, hailing from places all the way from Campbell ' s Bay in Quebec, to Chile in South America joined our ranks and during the year have proved themselves true Elmwoodians . Mary Gratias and Sue Gar- land, our two head boarders, were always ready to help us with our small and big problems, but also ruled us with a strong arm, or should I say with strong arms? We enjoyed many special trips and activi- ties this year. One was our visit to the tremendous St. Lawrence Seaway Project in October. On our trip to Arnprior we were shown around the Civil Defence Training College, where we saw many different ways of rescuing people. This, topped by a delicious turkey dinner, provided another enjoyable Saturday. Miss Barr, Miss Carruthers and Miss Danhof accompanied the ski-minded girls on two wonderful Saturdays on the hill at Wake- field. Another specialty was given once a month to girls who had been especially good; they wei e allowed to go out on Friday or Saturday evening to have dinner and see a movie afterwards. Knowing that he would not find us all together at Christmas, Santa Claus paid us his annual visit on the day of our Pyjama party. As usual he was loaded with presents and we had a most enjoyable party, with a fine supper afterwards. Speaking of refreshments, we would like to thank Mrs. AdacDermott for the wonderful food during the year and at our luscious Christmas dinner. Boarders ' dances and a few other activities combined with these to keep us busy all year. All in all it must have kept the teachers busy too!
