SUE FLETCHER If ignorance is bliss, His folly to be wise. Sue, our bilingual student, came to Elmwood three years ago, and has added a great deal of humour to our daily classes. Sue has been busy in grade 13 with her math, lessons and playing on Nightingale ' s team in sports. Her strong back-hand will be remembered by all of us, and we know she ' ll do well at Carleton next year. BARBARA THOMAS My spelling is wobbly. It ' s good spelling, but it wobbles and the letters get in the wrong places. The innovater of the gourmets ' delight of hunger lunches, Barb will always be remembered for her long words and longer scarves. Her greatest regret is that she is not an American male so that she could dodge the draft. She has a great interest in the chemical sciences and hopes to continue her studying at Trent next year. 14

CONNIE SNELGROVE PREFECT Nothing is so strong as gentleness; nothing is so gentle as real strength. Connie ' s two years at Elmwood have been rewarding ones, filled with memories of singing in the choir, French classes with Madame Ross, violin lessons with Mrs. Grills, and the Six Upper common room. A sensitive and gentle person, Connie took an avid interest in music, never failing to attend Mrs. Harwood Jone ' early morning choir prac- tices. In both of her years at Elmwood, Connie has definite ambitions of becoming a physiotherapist, attending Queen ' s University in Kingston. With her qualities of sincerity and compassion, she should do well in this course. CAL DON PREFECT Better mad with everybody, than wise alone. Caroline ' s friendly laugh could be always distinguished in the halls and the classrooms of Elmwood for the last three years. Cal has contributed in all the sports of the school especially in the gym club and on the tennis courts. Cal ' s last year at Elmwood has been filled with art courses and she hopes to continue at Trent University. 13

This is the dawning of the age of Ontario (Aquarius) Debby, who was originally a Kellerite, now a lively member of Nightingale, has been at Elmwood for the past 4 years. She was an active member if sports and last year Debby was appointed vice sports captain. Debby ' s summer jobs and extracurricular activities are sure to always pro- vide the class with a laugh. Her forgetfulness will always be remembered. Her future is undecided, but we wish her the best of luck wherever she goes. BETH KNOX A yawn is a silent shout. Beth arrived at Elmwood from Hillcrest in grade 12. Her Danish pastries and her fabulous contributions to 6U ' s common room have helped 6U ' s spirit at break. Beth has been busy at Ashbury with Chemistry and Spanish, but has always appeared on the scene at Elmwood whenever she was needed. Beth hopes to go on to an American university next year. 15
