BARBARA COYNE It is my fervent hope that my whole life on this earth will ever be . . . tears and laughter. . . , tears that purify my heart and reveal to me the secret of life and its mystery . . . laughter that brings me closer to my fellow men. . . . tears with which 1 join the broken- hearted . . . laughter that symbolizes joy over my very existence. - Kahil Gibran Barb - otherwise known as Barbie because she ' s such a doll - has been at Elmwood for ten years (count ' em! ). During that time, she ' s been able to observe th performance of nine Head Girls and after all that ex- perience, she just couldn ' t help doing a fantastic job this year, when her turn rolled around. The school was first awakened to her tremendous ability for handling matters last year when she was editor of the Samara; a job not just anyone can cope with. This year, she has proven herself more than capable of carrying out all her duties as well as keeping her marks right up there. She has shown herself to be fair yet firm and, inspite of her busy schedule, she has al- ways had a smile for her fellow students. Not only is Barb intelligent but she is talented as well - she ' s a regular Liberace on the piano! Barb is going to study Arts at Queens next year, and we wish her all the best. Thank you. Barb, for all that you ' ve done for us. MONICA STINSON The past is but a thought, the present a reflection, and the future a dream. ... Paul Twitchall Monica arrived at Elmwood ' s academy for young gentlewomen in grade 11 and totally shattered the whole system. While in her first year she made her mark (on the basketball net) and the first theory of a Dominion - was mainly because of the meat. Monica touched us all with her sincerity and humour and we shall never forget her or Al for that matter. The week- end excursions to Fitzroy Harbour created a character that will be irreplaceable. We wish Monica the best of luck at Queen ' s next year and the best in the future. Last year she was our rambunctious sports captain. This year Monica was senior prefect which made the bumps a little softer to take. We don ' t know what Monica ' s future will be but from the referee on Grand Prix wrestling to a first class business woman, she will make the best of it. Thank-you for you, Monica.

GRADUATES

KAREN TURNER - It ' s a poor fellow who can ' t take his pleasure with- out asking other people ' s permission. - Herman Hesse Karen has been at Elmwood for four years now. Even though she ' s quiet and unassuming, she never goes unnoticed - (especially when, unexpectedly, her voice ' booms ' out over the din in the gym! ! ) For everyone, at any time, Karen has a smile and is al- ways ready to listen and sort out any problems if she can. She has been a valuable member of 6U this year, and as Head of Fry and a prefect she has been diligent, successful, and what is more important, respected. Certainly as you go to university next year Karen, but always in the future, we hope you ' ll find both success and happiness ! ! MONIQUE PERRON Monique made her debut at Elmwood in grade twelve. At first, she seemed like a quiet, shy and mild man- nered girl, but we soon discovered that Monique had a lot of good ideas and opinions on class matters as well as other issues. Monique quickly rose to fame in grade twelve. She was our student ' s council representative as well as our form captain for awhile. This year, she is one of our lovable prefects and head of the well-noted Nightin- gale House. Monique hopes to make it in sciences at some time in her life - the sooner the better. Well Monique, good luck in sciences next year. Your warm smile and leadership qualities will be remembered here. 9
