S A M A R A 7 Diane Manion: ' ' To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. During her five years at Elmwood Di has contributed to many phases of school life. Her artistic ability has been ardently admired in posters, decorations for school dances, and scenery for plays. Sportswise she has also done well, climaxing her efforts this year with a late start on the school volley- ball team. When the team found itself in need of strong members, Di relin- quished valuable time to help the cause and give surprisingly strong support. Di is full of talents, many of them, we suspect, still lying hidden. This year a new one has been unfolded to us— a mechanical perfection , as Browning would say. This summer Di leaves Canada to begin a new adventure in France. With you, Di, we send our wishes for good luck and Bon voyage. Heather Letch: Little brown head and eyes so blue, Where will your footsteps lead you? Heather, better known as Ha Ha, has walked the hallowed halls of our boarding school for three years. During this time she has been a monitor, cookie eater ( ! ) and, this year, one of our prefects. Although she is usually comparatively quiet she enters into all school activities and especially cheers Keller on. Her pet subject this year has been History, and this she accom- plished by warming the bench outside of the office. Next year Heather is off to nursing in Montreal where she hopes to become a healer of all ills. Good luck. Heather! Christine Mackenzie: Where i inocence is bliss, Tis jolly to be wise. Hailing from Toronto, Chris has been a boarder at Elmwood for the past three years. In the day school she has been both monitor and prefect. Her other activities have ranged from the school volleyball team to being a star in the Fry House play. This winter has been a busy one for Chris with skiing (?) and flying visits to McGill and her fellow cinquettes. Next year she plans to cut out all this travelling by moving right into McGiU as an Arts student. We ' ll miss your light- heartedness and all the fun we ' ve shared together in the past, Chris, and Buena Suerte for the future.

S A M A R A y Not Boarders ' Notes When school opened in September we were glad to see we had many new girls among us. There were also new resident staff members, Miss A4asten, Miss Ross, and iVlrs. iMott. A-liss Robinson was with us again to distinsuish the aches from the fakes — but o ... unfortunately she was away ill in the Spnng and we hope that she will be back with us soon. i 4iss Adoseby returned, although in April she was replaced(!) by a Mrs. Uhlir whom we like just as much as i 4iss Aioseby, if not more. They both did such a fabulous job, that we can ' t thank them in words. Mrs. Wools came to see us once a week and when Miss Robinson had to leave, she helped out tre- mendously, and we all thank her very much. On the lower floor both Angela and Barb did a really good job as junior counsellors. School Monitors. Front: Julie Kingstoiie- Laragh Neeiin, Heather Hayley. Middle: Les- ley Gait, Nancy Smallian, Elizabeth Garvock, Deirdre Kirby. Back: Wendy Wilson, Susie Southam, Cathy Bratton, Carolyn Strauss, Di Smith, Sue Hamilton. Lesley, as head boarder with Ginny, Trudy, Joan, Marf, Cathy, Judy, Lex and Di as coun- sellors all did a terrific job. As far as events go, we had a pyjama party at Christmas, and instead of giving presents to one another we sent gifts to the patients of St. Vincent ' s Hospital. On iVIarch 4th we had a really fabulous boarders ' dance and Les is to be congratulated! The night before our Easter holidays we surprised our bride-to-be with a shower and Mrs. Mott and Mrs. Mac gave us delicious refreshments. We hope that our picnic at Lac Philippe will go just as well as it usually does. N.B.— We wish to thank those from Ash- bury, Carleton, Ottawa U., and anyone else who helped and contributed to making our year even more interesting. Have a terrific summer! Bye now.
