CHRISTINE DEEBLE PREFECT This too shall pass. Chris was unanimously elected to the prefects ranks later in the fall and her influence was greatly appreciated by her peers, especially as Joy ' s help and support with Keller. This has probably been an interesting year for Chris, full of new friends, new ideas, new activities - such as Young Lib- erals Organization and after hours at Simpsons ' . She will go down in 6U history with the award for the youngest baby sister - and a surprise shower to go with it. Chris originally hails from England and has always looked forward to going home. Next year she hopes to travel back and find new ad- ventures in England and then Europe. And then perhaps university in Canada? . . . but whatever comes Christine will definitely do well. KATHI GRAY Today is the day I worried about yesterday Kathi ' s enigmatic expression fasinates artist and student ahke. Quiet and whimsical, her ethereal sphere of individu- ality is made up of art, colours, creations, books, beeswax, candles, raccoon rugs . . . Ah, but in such an ugly time, the true protest is beauty, seems to sum up the charm of this girl. Not a demonstrative or outgoing member of 6U, she was however highly regarded by all as a quiet, sincere, and friendly person. The academic pursuit of the university world holds no interest for Kathi - at least not yet - and she has decided to immerse herself in languages next year at a school in Switzerland. As an artist, and individual, a person of great sensitivity, she will find beauty and happiness in whatever she looks for. 13

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.

ALIX YOUNG Hey Muggs — It ' s all in the family . After a precarious first experience at Carleton Q-Year, Alix transferred back to Elmwood to finish her grade 13 - a decision we were all very happy about. I think it has been a worthwhile year for Alix - though there have been a lot of low periods for her throughout the year, the same could probably be said for most of us - and she managed to come through it all with quite a few rewards - such as early ad- mission to Trent University and prospects of exciting and fulfilling years ahead. Her influence has been greatly felt and appreciated by all her friends. An enthusiastic, creative, and energetic thinker, she was considered a very valuable asset to her house - a proud and perservering parent of the Fry newspaper. Alix is the kind of person who will be a val- uable asset to her community and a fine citizen. ROSEMARY DON was cut to be a genius: Now all I have to do is fit the pieces together. Mo might be remembered sipping tea in the 6U common room having trilingual traumas - either French, Latin, or Spanish - but the hang-ups, panic, worries all paid off in the end, as Mo was accepted into Trent University and hopes to study modern languages there in the fall. A girl with a dis- tinct flair for language - perhaps eventually an interpretor at the U.N.? , . . Other characteristics which might be re- membered of her would be her athletic ability, her Edelweiss winter retreat, that amazing laugh and the zest and fun she contributed to the common room atmosphere. The future looks challenging and rewarding for Rosemary. 14
