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

SAMARA COMMITTEE Standing: Jennifer Chance, Christine Haase, Jacqueline Heard, Jane Martin, Debbie Coyne. Seated: Mrs. Whitwill. EDITORIAL Dear Elmwood, This year, with a new Headmistress, a dazzling art room, a greenified main hall, and an almost scuff-proof dining room, Elmwood plunged into a new decade. Once more frustrated S-Day volunteers t rudged the streets in search of Ads, caught teachers and other Perfects in the Act , and grinned and grimaced at our new photographer. As always, the months of ' 69-70 seem to have flown by, as Mrs. Harwood-Jones and Mr. Thompson persevered Patience with the Musicals of Ashbury and Elmwood, Drama went Greek , Prefects spirited us all, and dances and Folk-Ins whirled splendorously by. This year integration with Ashbury in many sports activities, added to the bi-cultural aspect of the school. Ashburians and Elmwoodians volleyed looks and a ball at each other over the net, curled, and even drowned each other. SAMARA has been compiled easily and quickly this year. My thanks to my committee, whose help was inval- uable, to Mrs. Whitwill, Mrs. Aldous and Mrs. Carter, with- out whom we could not have gone on , and especially to the school, whose co-operation was tremendous, even if they didn ' t think so. Good Luck 70- ' 71 Samara Committee! Love, Jackie. 5
