SCHOOL SONG CHORUS Glory glory halleluiah. Glory glory halleluiah, Glory glory halleluliah, Elmwood marches on! Mrs. Whitwill tries to teach us all the history we must know But our memories, it is plain to see, are very stop and go If British history comes to mind, then French will surely go. HER MEMORY MARCHES ON. Some memories of Elmwood I shall always surely hold Of the antiquated heating that ' s too hot or else too cold And the lunches if not mouldy, must be surely two weeks old. ELMWOOD MARCHES ON. The Aldous-Carter combination really runs the school And they always try to trip us up on any silly rule The tortures they inflict on us, really are too cruel. THEIR MEMORY MARCHES ON. They tell us of tradition and what Elmwood ' s all about But they never seem to tell us how the heck we can get out They poison the poor students — and that now without a doubt. ELMWOOD MARCHES ON The Junior School ' s enthusiasm really makes us sick We love to cut them up and see what really makes them tick To quiet them in Assembly really is a trick. THEIR MEMORY MARCHES ON. Mrs. Brokenshire ' s etiquette is perfect to a tee , , Another Emily Post is she, it ' s very plain to see ' ' i e to be in the Senior School cause we re all such good friends If you dissect your sandwiches it ' s revolted she will be. The 1 3 ' s love the 1 2 ' s and the 1 1 ' s love th e 1 0 ' s HER MEMORY MARCHES ON The grade nines love each other and there the seniors end. THEIR MEMORY MARCHES ON. Mrs. Davies always telling us that in jokes are all out But thats just because she doesn ' t know what they are all about If you mention cherry trees, she will give a shout. HER MEMORY MARCHES ON. The boys at Ashbury College, they really are no fun They are all obnoxious creeps except for maybe one But our grade nine girls sure seem to like ' em young. THEIR MEMORY MARCHES ON. Mr. Whitwill ' s the mad scientist of our beloved school If he ' s not wrapped up in an atom he is in a molecule Now we must all remember Newton ' s thirty-second rule. HIS MEMORY MARCHES ON. To end our song we must admit it ' s not such a bad place That is, if you don ' t mind a hunter green rat race At least when we get out of here we ' ll know how to say grace. ELMWOOD MARCHES ON. 2 sung to JOHN BROWN ' S BODY

PUTTING TOGETHER A YEARBOOK The Samara Staff Nora Curran, Assistant; Cindy Leigh, Assistant; Debbie Coyne, Editor; Christine Haase, Assistant Editor, Christy-Ann Lomas, Assistant. Absent: Sue Cohen, Sheri Price. EDITORIAL Dear Readers; This year has been a year of surprises in one way or another for all of us. We have skied, swum, played bridge and taken part in nnany other activities on our Wednesday afternoons. We have par- ticipated in inter-school volleyball and basketball, and even entered in a ski meet. Sports has be- come a much more important facet of our school life than ever before and in this connection a very successful auction took place in February in support of the gym fund. Who knows? We may yet live to see this much longed-for addition to the school. We have had, as always, the usual struggle in putting together the Samara. My staff and I were rather disappointed at the lack of enthusiasm on the part of the students. We would have appreciated your suggestions and your constructive criticisms on the content of the yearbook. I n that way we could give the most satisfaction to the most people. Nevertheless the committee has put their best efforts forward and we hope that they have not been in vain. When you have finished reading through this yearbook please remember to pass your opinions of it on to next year ' s Samara Committee. DEBBIE COYNE 3
