Anne MacDonald: Vice-Head of Keller Loneliness remembers what happiness forgets Annie is one of the few remaining members of the entering class of ' 69 ' . Throughout the years, Anne has proved herself a stalwart supporter of all of Elmwood ' s activities. Since Arme received her driver ' s license, she has been seen frequently whip- ping up and down Springfield Road, between her job and classes. Her questioning and probing mind has been a valuable asset in class discussions. She can be remembered for her mean drive inbadminton, her equally challenging game of tennis and her penchant for fresh air. Doors and a window do not a home make, n ' est-ce pas Anne? She has also been a dedicated French devotee and looks forward to the day when she will be an accomplished linguist. Anne has been an asset to her House in inter-house volleyball and basketball competitions, as well as being a ski enthusiast. Next year it ' s heigh-ho and off to Algonquin (or France) she goes! Bon chance Anne and keep wearing that simny smile! 11 Jane Micklethwaite: Prefect and House Head of Keller The distance is nothing, it is only the first step that is difficult. For four years now, Jane has been a happy addition to school life. She has always been ready to help in festivities, organizing things to do on rainy Wed- nesday afternoons and working with the jiuiiors on various secret projects for the House. This year, Janey hit the hills for the first time and though an early casualty of the skiing season, she remains determined to persevere. Always a good sport, she stands proudly behind Keller ' s successful endeavours. An excellent sewer, Jane passed many Wednesday afternoons sewing her spring wardrobe. Advocate of bake sales and money making schemes, Jane has helped the treasury grow. A math bug seems to have bitten her; two math courses in one year! We ' re minting a special medal for her bravery. Also taking two Latins, she can tell you of the cultures of ancient Greece and Rome. A blonde head of hair and an enviable complexion coupled with a friendly personality, make up Jane ' s charms. Fiddley dee, fiddley dum, it ' s off to Queens she hopes to run! We are sure that her gift of organi- zation and her fund raising abilities will be an asset wherever she goes. Good luck, good-bye and God Bless.

Marissa Goebbels: Perfect You must realize that the only ceiling life has, is the one that you give it. Early mornings find Marissa stroking her mother ' s car and feeding it lumps of sugar. She is our Dr. Doolittle, the only one among us who can actually talk with the animals! Marissa and her menagerie have been at Elmwood since Grade Seven and in this time, she has endeared herself to her friends and teachers alike. As the Latin genius , Marissa has also made her mark in English and Maths. A rare combination and one you don ' t see every day of the week. In the last year, she has taken up skiing and has become a true enthusiast, frequenting the hills whenever she gets the chance. In the field of class discussions, Marissa has provided much thought provoking insight. Deeply concerned with questions such as the origin of sin, universal justice and man ' s destiny, she has foimd her awakened consciousness a heavy, but rewarding burden this year. Marissa is someone who is always willing to help her friends and is known to be a true optimist at heart. Next year Queen ' s will be given the treat of her animal interpretations but above all, of Marissa herself. We are sure that her good heart, good mind and good sense will bring her many rewards. Elmwood will miss her and her lively personality which has been a part of school life for so many years. Good- byes are never easy to say, so we ' ll just say, so long until we meet again. Janie Ginsberg : Prefect and Nightingale House Head And at night I love to listen to the stars. It is like five hundred million little bells . Janie is the quiet member of the form, reflective and pensive. As House Head of Nightingale, she has effectively co-ordinated her house ' s efforts in school activities. She has been the prime force behind Nightingale ' s school spirit. For many years now Janie has been an active participant in Elm- wood ' s Gilbert and Sullivan ' productions. She is an energetic, cross country skier and spends her spare time chasing rabbit tracks. Janie ' s interests range from her little car, which by the way is an adorable beetlebug, to living Hebrew . Janie ' s star shines bright in die East, right over Israel. Next year she plans to participate in life in kibbutz and we are positive that her steadfast and friendly presence will contribute much to whatever she undertakes. Good-bye Janie and take care. Plant an olive tree in remembrance of us.

Lynne Sampson There is no wealth but life. Lyime is oirr class science and math whiz! No mad scientist, she is very down to earth and this quality, at times, has given the class many a chuckle. She is one of the original young ladies who has graced Elmwood with her attendance since Grade Six. And that ' s a long time! Lynne is oxa only classmate to have more classes with Ashbury than without- -no easy trick. The high point of her school week comes Wednesday afternoons when she can fly down the ski slopes at Fortune. An expert skier and tennis player, Lynne is a sports addict. As Financial co- editor of this year ' s Samara , she has daimtlessly persued advertisements and patrons for the Samara ' s pages. That ' s no easy trick, either! Next Septembei; Lynn will be leaving Ottawa to study business administration at Queen ' s. We know that Lynne ' s abilities and her friendly good humor will bring her much success. She has been a loyal Elmwood supporter and we wish her well. Good fortune Lynne ! Ingrid Sorensen : Prefect and Fry House Head That my joy gives joy, my hope gives hope and that 1 can commimicate the Spirit living in me not by what 1 say but how I say it . For five years, Ingrid ' s has been a familiar face around the halls of Elmwood. In all the time that we have known Ingrid, she has always been con- cerned for the well being of her class mates, fellow students and for those beyond the school boiuidries. Ingrid has worked tirelessly for the benefit of the mentally retarded. Through her many talks to the school, on public speaking days, on this subject, she has been the students ' conscience. She has also found time to be an avid participant in the Gilbert and Sullivan productions and was a former Elmy winner for Best Supporting Actor, in her excellent portrayal of the Steward in St. Joan . Ingrid has proved to be an excellent House Head this year; enthusiastic, patient and determined that Fry shall triumph and win at least one cup in ' 72. Next year, Ingrid would like to explore the field of psychology at Queen ' s or Trent and from there, devote her time to either nursing the handicapped or teaching the mentally retarded. Good luck Ingrid, keep smiling and the world will smile with you.
