Some of the Strathallan girls stayed here at school while the others were guests of the day girls. Thank you very much, day girls, for your kind hospitality. I am sure the girls enjoyed it immensely. On Saturday morning the basketball game between Strathallan and Elmwood was played in the Rockcliffe Park Public School gym. The game was fast moving and extremely exciting. It was a close game all the way and stiff competition for both teams. It proved to be a victorious day for Elmwood as we won 37 - 35 — a close score which we achieved with the expert coaching of Miss DriscolL In the afternoon there was a hockey game at the Rockcliffe Airport Rink be- tween Ashbury and Hillfield which everyon e enjoyed! Ashbury defeated Hillfield 3-1 in a most thrilling game. It was a most successful day for Elmwood and Ashbury. To end the week-end Ashbury held ' their Football Dance ' which was also their last dance of the year. ' The Esquires ' provided the musical entertainment. We particularly enjoyed their take offs of ' The Beatles ' . Our guests left on Sunday morning to drive back to Hamilton. It was a most exciting and unusual week-end for us and I hope that these exchange visits may continue in the coming years. Our thanks to Mrs. Blyth, Miss DriscoU and to Mrs. R. S. Bruce of Strathallan for arrang- ing a wonderful week-end. Ellie Sanders Sports Captain.

SKI TEAM Left to Right: Barbara Dodge, Nancy Ladner, Debbie Gill, Wendela Roberts. SKI TEAM REPORT This year, four enthusiastic skiers, Nancy, Wendela, Barb, and myself set out to represent Elmwood in the Ann Heggtveit inter-school ski meet held this year at the Vorlage Ski Club at Wakefield, Quebec. Al- though our racing ability was not quite as good as our enthusiasm we all had a wonder- ful time and agreed that it was a great ex- perience. Unfortunately our team did not place but Nancy Ladner did very well and came eighth in the combined placing. Skiing throughout the year was very good. Everyone enjoyed getting out in the sun after a hard week at school and we hope some new skiers will improve and carry just as much spirit into next year ' s competition. Best of luck anyway and remember Success is naught; endeavour ' s all. Debbie Gill 6M KELLER JUNIOR VOLLEYBALL Front: Barb.

Going on And on Forever, Free, Freer than The wind. Face stinging Tears forming. Wind whipping Through my hair. Snow flying From my feet. Moving faster. Faster forever. A streak of red Someone falls. Miss them! Miss them! That was close. The end is Nearing. Closer Closer, The freedom Is gone. Until! Until I reach the top Again! Start the flight To Freedom! Martha Corbett 5A
