Sarah Whitwill: Prefect I have had playmates, I have had companions In my days of childhood, in my joyful schooldays. Sarah is practically an institution at Elmwood. She has been here eight years! Once having hair so long she could sit on it, she surprised us all this year with a daring new French cut. At school, her re- sponsibilities have been many. As a Chapel mon- itor, Sarah has had to rise with the rooster and with the aid of a few willing helpers, set out chairs for the Staff and her grateful peers. The large black Bible and all those hymn numbers have acquired a special meaning for her, just like her early morn- ing typing classes; gaily, gaily over the keys we trip . Sarah is the class Cookie Monster! She loves her dough and crunch granola. Together, these make Sarah a very healthy girl. Snow -shoeing has become a serious sport this past winter, ever since she discovered that handsome forest ranger, Smokey the Bear! A strong swimmer and tennis player, she is a good sport. In the Autumn, she will become the star pupil of the Food Service Administration course at Algonquin. Sarah has a special way with people; kind, patient and gentle. Her words are always thoughtful. We are all very fond of her and wish her the best always. Leslie Tench In all the world, there is no lovelier thing than friendship ... Leslie, our sensuous woman and one of the new additions to the class this year, can be found any morning sitting on the third floor sink, giving les- sons to us girls on how to turn on . This chipper, cheerfiil, blond bombshell (a la Jean Harlow) has fitted in admirably with the insane atmosphere of 6 U. Trips to Toronto pots of tea .and racey books have taken up a lot of Leslie ' s spare time — how- ever, she is nevertheless the wiser. Next year, Leslie has planned a career in--yes, you guessed it — at McMaster University. Good luck Leslie, we are confident of your abilities and are siu-e you will be a cracker -jack of a social worker.

Molly Marion We are as gods and might as well get good at it. So far remotely done power and glory - as via big business, formal education, chiirch - has suceeded to the point where gross defects obscure actual gains. In response to this dilemna and to these gains, a realm of intimate personal power is devloping - power of the individual to conduct his own education, find his own inspiration, shape his own environment and share his adventure with whoever is interested. from Purpose of Whole Earth Catalogue Molly is one of the Daughters of the Revolution, coined in 1776. Just turn Molly sideways and you ' ll see what we mean. She is a mind of all times; universal in her breadth and imcompromising in her trusts. Wherever Molly goes, treasijre her. - the spectres P. S. Dear Molly, we wrote this for ourselves. Inge Uhrenbacher Da stech ich nun, ich armer Tor Und bin so klug als wie zuvor . Inge is our enchanting European with blonde hair and brown eyes. Quiet and unassuming, she has a tranquilizing quality when situations seem to be riding beyond control. German by birth, she has a cosmopolitan outlook on life, no doubt a product of her varied diplomatic life. Inge has been at Elmwood since Grade Nine, where she was a shy little girl in braids learning her English. Older and wiser now, her sophistication is inbred. An expert skier on the hills, she presents an elegant figure in her blue ski jacket. Inge has so arranged her time- table that she has Monday and Friday afternoon free to ski--she has always had a good perspective on how to enjoy life. Her many talents find express- ion through her languages, music and art. Her so- journ at Elmwood has been a pleasant one for us and next year, Carleton will be graced with her enchanting presence. We will miss your charm,

Beatrice Hampson I am tired of this hypocrisy and stupidity, of the boorishness of officials, I am tired of having to scrape and invent safe and harmless phrases. - Marx Bea is the girl with the scathingly brilliant ideas! Bright eyed, baby faced (just for innocence), boot- ing the bumptious, she eclipses her classmates with her sheer vitality. She returned to us this year to resume her career at Elmwood after spending two years at a school in Switzerland - a skiing school, wasn ' t it Bea? Despite the time she has spent on the slopes, she has done very well scholastically. Gymnastically, she has been a stalwart supporter of Elmwood ' s basket and volley ball games. Bea has a fascinating laugh, rosy and infectious, and heads always turn to look at this blithe and mirthful damsel. Next year she hopes to attend Trinity College in Toronto. May Saint.Hilda always smile upon you, Bea! GRAD WRITE-UPS: Penny MacRae Marnie Edwards Mary-Pat Curran All to myself, I think of you, Think of the things we losed to do, Think of the things we used to say. Think of each happy bygone day. Mary-Pat, better known as Roe -Roe , was our red headed Irish Colleen. Roe had a long and active history at Elmwood and to even begin to list the occasions on which she took part, would take chapters. There were moments however, which are impossible to forget: the music classes with Mrs. Grills in Grade Ten, her little jokes (all shades), the water fights in summer, the snowball fights in winter, her stories of weekend escapades, her trips to E. R. Fisher ' s and how she loved the ' 50 ' crowd. Mary-Pat also continued to be champion gum chewer of 6 U. despite the prefects ' efforts. It is her lively personality and her ability to laugh at almost anything that will ensure her champion- ship for all her good times ahead. This year we lost Mary-Pat early on to Business College and our very best goes with her. Remember, Roe-Roe , that wherever you go, somewhere. Sir Lancelot salutes you! 16
