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.

6 S A Al A R A Sheriill Fell: I beam that smiles the clouds away. ' ' ' ' Sherrill, one of our illustrious boarders, has been an Emwoodian for three years. During this time she has done much to brighten the lives of those around her. She was a monitor in 1958 and this year became head of Nightingale, a task which she has performed adeptly. Sherrill is an all-round girl and has, aside from her academic work, taken part in every sports activity in the school. She has led Nightingale to many a victory and has also added her various skills to most of the school sports teams. This year found Sherrill with an ever-watchful eye on Ottawa University and a certain black M.G.-T.D. She has been studying hard, hoping to continue her studies next year in the nursing profession. Since she comes from Nightingale we are sure she will make a good nurse, and we wish her the very best of luck in the years to come. Sandra MacNaughton : lay in the ground and criticized the worm. ' T. S. Eliot. Sandra, our invisible prefect, has honoured Elmwood with her attend- ance for four years. She was off to a flying start, skipping grade ten and upholding her class in grade eleven. Sandy was head of Nightingale House last year, and took an active part in debating. This year Sandra was a House Prefect, handing her duties as House Head to Sherrill Fell. Sandra, of course, is never one to ' waste time on homework as her many outside activities take up most of her time. She is often found baby- sitting (even in the classroom!), and takes frequent jaunts to Washington to visit a certain Midshipman. Sandy plans to continue her education at Queen ' s University in Kingston next year. We know she will do well. Buena Suerte, Sandy! Heather Blaine: oaks from little acorns grow. ' ' ' ' Heather, or Flea as she is better known around ' school, came to Elm- wood three years ago from the R.C.A.F. station. During these years she has guided both Fry House and the school sports teams on to victory and been a monitor and prefect. Even with these activities. Heather still finds time for studying, and countless outside activities such as tennis, badminton. High- land dancing and ?. This fall she leaves Canada for England. Whatever your plans may be. Flea, Bon Voyage, Bonne Chance, and a bientot!
