LOURDES JIMENEZ: Thy life is no idle dream; it is thine own, and it is all thou hast to front eternity with. - Carlyle As head girl of Elmwood this year, Lourdes has had ample opportunity to show her leadership. Her ability to interest people in new ideas, to organize activities, to overcome opposition and combat apathy, and es- pecially to smooth over unpleasant situations - all these qualities are well known to her classmates and to the school. Besides planning class outings, she has provided lunch for someone who didn ' t expect it (remember Harvey ' s?), built her first snowman (?), and even show- ed us a new trick: turning orange at the Mothers ' Bazaar . She has withstood all manner of trials and tri- bulations - even Physics! If nothing else, she ' ll be able to use a slide rule . . . Being head girl has not changed our Lourdes though; she ' s always ready to lend or ask a hand, and even in the dark days after one ex- pedition, she carried out her duties while signing in with everybody else. Lourdes hopes to study medicine at U. of T. or McGill, to find a cure for what ails you - a good idea, because the world needs people like her. Good luck, Lourdes. Wherever you go and whatever you do, remember when . . . ARA NIXON: Between the idea And the reality. Between the motion And the act, Falls the Shadow . . Between the conception And the creation. Between the emotion And the response. Falls the Shadow. T.S. Eliot (The Hollow Men) One doesn ' t immediately perceive Ara as she spends 90% of her time sprawled on the floor. For six years she ' s been throwing herself around the gym playing basketball - a tough game when you ' re only five feet tall - and collecting various bruises and broken limbs. When she ' s not flat on the ground Ara ' s usually reading the dictionary - her favorite book - or destroying ser- ious discussions with her terrible puns. She ' s never been known to walk; Ara ' s always half-running or trip- ping, but she manages to collect herself sufficiently every now and again. Without her we wouldn ' t have a telephone or drink machine, so even when Ara leaves Elmwood she ' ll have left behind at least two VERY solid marks and won ' t soon be forgotten.
