Elmwood School - Samara Yearbook (Ottawa, Ontario Canada)

The time has come, it seems, to say hello to Samara, which each year renews itself like the Phoenix, not without a great deal of effort on the part of the editor and her staff, one troublesome facet of which is undoubtedly getting the headmistress to produce her contri- bution to meet the deadline. The same yet ever new! Samara jnay not change radically in for- mat or colour, yet the contributions are ever newly created. Some of the faces may have been seen before, but the legs may be longer, the hair-style altered. Juniors become seniors; the perpetrators of Cafe 5A one year become the organizers of Creme de 6M the next, and the august origionators of Adieu de 6U at the last. Each year brings new horizons and this is most dramatically true in the graduation year. If I could have one wish for you, it is that, all experience is an arch where thro ' Gleams that untravelled would whose margin fades For ever andfor ever as you move. Keep trying, keep learning, keep growing for all of a long life! Joan M . Whitwill Ara Nixon, Senior Prefect; Mrs. Aldous, Vice-Headmistress; Mrs. Whitwill, Headmistress; Lourdes Jimenez, Headgirl. 4

Yesterdays A hundred of them filled with joy and wonder that a thousand tomorrows may never bring . . . Soft murmurs, Warm faces. Gentle, happy smiles. The remembered signs of all the yesterdays take their final form between the pages of a book. Such a little thing to hold the accomplishments and achievements of friends. Such an important thing to hold the key to memories. Dear Readers, This year we have had, as always I believe, the usual difficulties in compiling the Samara. We had hoped for greater enthusiasm on the part of the students, but, as seems to be the trend in a small school such as Elmwood, this did not materialize. However, Debbie Williams and myself, as co-editors, are grateful for the individual support we did receive, particularly from Margot Bethune, Emily Conway, and Jane Frieson in the junior school. Ran- jana Basu ' s time and efforts were invaluable, and evidence of Jane- Ann McBurney ' s ' photographic genius ' can be seen throughout this year ' s Samara. Thanks also to Mrs. Aldous, our staff advisor. We hope that you will enjoy this year ' s magazine. I know that your criticisms of it would go a long way in assisting next year ' s commit- tee in producing a still better and satisfying Samara. Best of luck to the 1974-75 committee!
