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

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

LULU TOLMIE Buy some for Lulu. A newcomer to 6U, but not really new since she has been a long-time friend of Elmwood and a junior-school old girl. An outgoing and friendly person, Lulu, sometimes known as Ritter Ruru , soon made many good friends and her happy, bouncing, sparkling personality was felt through- out the school. It was a good and worthwhile year for her, as she has made the admirable decision to study education next year. That west-coast fever has called her back to B.C. where she will attend University of Victoria in the fall and probably manage to fit in a lot of skiing too. A kind, com- passionate and thoughtful person she will be a very good teacher and educator. ANDREA OLSON This above all, to thine own self be true and it must follow as day the night, Thou cans ' t not then be false to any man. Audi was the 13th girl in grade 13, joining the form on a Friday the 13th - with Closing also held on Friday 13th, the superstitious bystander might write this year off as one filled with bad luck for this girl from the west. But Andi proved us all wrong. Not only did she make a delightful addition to 6U and to the rest of the school, but she also managed to pack in four years of highschool French into one already heavily scheduled year and showed us that those Westerners aren ' t quite as unilingual as we thought they were. She is now off to Montreal for the summer to live and speak the language and then back to her native soil in September - The West is the best - to major in French at Alberta U. Discreet, charming, with a dry sense of humour, a poli- tician in her own right, Andrea is sure to find success - east or west. 15
