Despite the celebration in which the new decade was ushered in this January, it brought with it one disappointment. Due to her impending marriage in the spring, Miss Carter, our gym teacher, unfortunately had to leave us. Miss Carter, herself, was a former student and head girl of Eimwood. Consequently, when she first arrived as a teacher, some people had a difficult time remembering not to call her Judy . But despite her change of status, she was a friend to all of those who served under her. Her lessons were filled with enjoyment, excepting per- haps those in which she gave us an exercise workout. Yet, in the long run, we must all agree that this helped to get rid of those few, extra, unbecoming pounds. Those who have been with Miss Carter from the start will remember their exhilariation as they finally succeeded in doing cart- wheels with their legs straight, and performing forward rolls without using their hands to help them over. Those to whom gymnastics came easily will be thankful to Miss Carter for intro- ducing the Gym Club as one of Elmwood ' s extra-curricular activities. This club was unfortu- nately broken up in the spring of 1969 when Miss Carter suffered from a severe case of appen- dicitis which put her out of commission for several months. However, that loss was only temporary. I am sure that in the future we will all miss Miss Carter very much, and we wish her the very best of happiness in the years to come. 3

This year we bid a sad good-bye to Miss Black, the head of the Junior School. For four years she has been a kind, understanding teacher and a friend to all. She made the subjects which she taught us come alive and carry such interest that I am sure this will have an effect on us in later years. To everyone taught by her she was a necessity and everyone will miss her greatly. This year Miss Black intends to go back and stay in England, and with her, I am sure, go wishes for good luck and happiness from the whole school. by Barbara Coyne The noisiest classes were in the junior school, Who always broke some kind of rule. But always loved their English class. Because Miss Black was quite a gas. Our nouns and verbs she made us learn So with her help 100 earn. We climbed trees and threw snowballs. It made Miss Black climb up the walls. But now we come to say good-bye, To hope your classes never die, And give them what you have so much; That extra special little touch. Tina Cole 2
