LORRAINE WINTERTON Absence makes the heart grow fonder, Elmwood, fare thee well . This was Lorraine ' s third year at Elmwood. Her school activities of which some must be excluded were basketball, riding and broomball. Most of her time was taken up with chemistry, math and biology but she enjoyed the back row group in prayers. Aside from late morning arrivals and pre- chemistry frustrations she contributed many memorable, witty remarks in English class. As for future plans, Lorraine hopes to study biology here in Ottawa. MARKIE COCHRAN Only fools blow kisses, wise men deliver in person . Markie, 6U ' s child, is Elmwood ' s latest paradox as she is both an old and new girl. Although most of us thought she was kind of fishy anyway, Markie has become a keen scuba diver. Plagued with an allergy to make-up her favourite things are fighting with Vicki, jumping on people ' s laps, Boeing 707 ' s, turning chalk white, and Lisgar. Markie is currently trying to get her driver ' s license so that she can obtain her diploma as a crazy teenager. Good luck at Carleton and we all hope you find your King Lear (or Prince Charming). 16

GEORGIE BINKS Don ' t ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody. ' George ' has been at Elmwood for three years. This year she was head of Keller, and so far, she has done a fantastic job. I guess we can all remember Georgie as that straight blond who laughed with her eyes closed and her mouth open. She has a liking for pogo-sticks, sleeping in math, charity money, apartments and innocent people like me! She is a great influence on everyone (usually for the better) and I ' m sure you agree that no one could fail to like her. Next year she plans to go to Queen ' s and become a lawyer. Good luck George! MARGIE GUTHRIE There is no duty we so much underate as the duty of being happy. Margie is known for her quiet classroom smile and her fits of giggles when with friends. She also grins in the gym, on the tennis courts, the ski slopes, and while curling or hiking with Ashbury. But she has worked hard, too. Last year Margie was head of the Sui Sang Committee. Four of her five Elmwood years have been spent in the choir. During her year of Golden Girdle responsibilities, she has proved that no crisis could make her frown. Always keep smiling, Margie. 15

MARJORIE SWIFT Help Stamp Out Summer. MarjoriecametousthisyearfromSt. Helen ' s in Quebec. A lively member of theclass.especiallywith Twin in French, she has been a most welcome addition to the group on the third floor. An avid skier, Marjorie spends most of her time at Mont Tremblant near her home town of St. Jovite. An energetic clarinet virtuoso, this young lady never has the stamina to walk to the mail box. Next year Marjorie plans to adapt her skills in disecting rats to nursing at McMaster or Western. We all wish her the best of luck. MQLLIE MONTGOMERY Second star to the right and straight on ' til morning ... Mollie contributed much to Grade 13, 1970-71 ; for in- stance, she used the common room furniture as an outlet for her artistic frustrations, painting toad-stools on the radiators. The common room suffered even more, by the appearance of her record-player, and her mug with the racing stripe. Tennis at break and cramming Latin translations took up a large part of the school-day. J.B. can be easily distinguish- ed in a crowd, because of the vicious pen-knife hanging from her belt, and her hair which refuses to stay confined. In the future, Mollie hopes she will still be able to find the Forest. 17
