CATHY MACLAREN PREFECT AND CHAPEL MONITER True ' friends are those who know all about you but love you just the same. A sunshine smile is a difficult thing for most people to radiate first thing in the morning - but for Cathy it came naturally and was something no morning could have been without. Her gay nature and pleasing personality were there- fore greatly appreciated as Chapel monitor and received wide acclaim as she bounced into Prayers with the Bible or bellowed out the Bible reading above the rabble of the rest- less ranks. She might be remembered as Mad Margaret in Ruddigore - or as a voice with a guitar - or just a very fine sensitive person and a great asset to Elmwood. The doors are wide open and life looks full of new challenges, for her as she goes off to Queens in September. She says the only extra luggage she will be taking with her will be her guitar case, but we know she will find happiness in a lot of other ways too. DAWN HARWOOD-JONES HEAD OF NIGHTINGALE Now what should a maiden do when she is em- braced by the wrong gentleman? An artist, musician, thinker, and friend. Dawn, in her four years at Elmwood, proved to be a person of many facets. Knowing that a happy smile and a kind word were best dicipline, she was loved and admired not only by her house but by the whole school. The year was full of activi- ties, responsibilities and excitement - conferences at Hawks- bury and Smith Falls, social animation, becoming high on people - it was a good year for her and she has made impor- tant decisions about her future. Next year she will be at Ottawa U. trying the biUngual experiment and experiencing new people, new ideas, new experiences. This will be a challenge eagerly met by Dawn and one which we feel reap great rewards for her and all people she comes in con- tact with. 11

PAULA LAWRENCE HEAD OF FRY The deeper you go, the higher you fly. The higher you fly, the deeper you go. Morning blues would find Paula in the common room drinking coffee and reading Rasputin J. Novgorod in the Globe and Mail . Books, people, and drama hold special interest for her and no doubt will take up a lot of her time in University next year. A girl with a big heart and energy to spare, she devoted herself to her house and won respect and admiration in her position - evident not only in her victory for the House Trophy, but also in the various Fry Projects such as her sleigh ride, Christmas caroling at Porters Island, the Small Fry newspaper. Excelling academically is not a difficult feat for Paula, so the year has been useful in other ways too - there has been time to think, to listen, to make decisions, to look ahead. Elmwood will remember her exuberance, her determination, her high ups and her low downs, her love of people and her zest for life. Next year will find her in Toronto at Trinity College where it is certain she will make friends, and find the happi- ness she deserves. 10 JOY WALLINGFORD HEAD OF KELLER Joy is like the rain, but God wants me for a sunbeam not a drip. A vibrant, emotional, sensitive person, Joy was a devo- ted house head and a loyal Elmwood import from Bucking- ham for the past five years. This has been a year for the widening of her horizons - speeding through books, meet- ing new people, finding out new ideas - and all this has helped develop her into a good leader and friend, a fine pre- fect and house head. Joy is a person of great compassion - she knows how to care about and feel for people - a quality which enhanced her responsibilities as a prefect and house head and which has also given her the desire to work this summer with retarded children. Whether she makes this her career is still undecided, but she hopes to study psychol- ogy and sociology at Ottawa U. next year and someday will probably make a very dedicated and competant social worker or psychologist.

MARGARET ARMITAGE PREFECT AND SPORTS HEAD I can say things like that Al, ' cause it ' s all in the family. Come rain, shine, or snow, Muggs would somehow make it back and forth between Elmwood and Ashbury - whether it was car, bicycle, or those trusty oxfords - trying out what could be called commuter co-education. Though it always seemed she gave Them more time and We never got to see quite enough of her, she was always around at the crucial moments, whipping up school spirit in prayers, in sports, in the common room, and even out of school. Seven years at Elmwood have nurtured, developed and produced a girl the school can be very proud of. Her enthusiasm, or- ganization and leadership qualities made her into an excell- ent prefect and sports captain and won her many friends. Muggs will be at Western next year studying for a B. Comm., and it seems certain she will find a successful future there. 12 CAROLINE DAVIES PREFECT AND FLAG RAISER faut rire de peur de mourir sans avoir ri. Caroline ' s nightmares (in German) would probably con- sist of a horseless world, run by monitors, young kids run- ning in and out of her sleep, and iced-up flagpoles . . . Folding the flap is putting the school to bed for the night, was one of Caroline ' s occupations in her second year at Elmwood - not afterall a very noticed labour, but something we could never have done without. She also proved a most dedicated and competent head monitor, a task which meant running after, checking on, and council- ling all the various monitors, a very demanding task, but one which Caroline executed with great patience. She is a girl of a great many talents which seems to complicate her de- cisions about her future - so many fields to enter and so many abilities make the choice difficult. It is still uncer- tain whether she will take her scholarship at Carleton or stay home and go to University in Toronto. But whatever CaroHne decides, the future looks certainly bright for her.
