SUSANNA HEUNG A shy and quiet girl who has joined us this year, Su- sanna came from Hong Kong. The moment we saw her in the classroom at the beginning of the year we thought she was a girl who came into the wrong classroom for the fact that she is so young to be in grade 13. Despite her being tiny, she is excellent in her mathematics courses. The nice little girl who had never seen snow ever in her life enjoyed the winter here so much she would like to continue her study here. Susanna wishes to be an architect and marry a civil engineer. With all her intelligence and luck, we wish her the best in the following years di;iring her study in Canada. 13 DANIELLE FONTAINE J ' ai dit a la vie: Tu es mechante. L ' echo m ' a re- pondu: Chante. Danielle, a tall slim French girl from la Belle Prov- ince, arrived at Elmwood last fall. Barely speaking English at the beginning of the year, she did manage to surprise everyone by being top in nearly all her classes. Her favourite pastime during school hours is to chal- lenge Mrs. Birch-Jones in the math classes which would be terribly, terribly silent without her. About four times a day we can see Danielle walking up and down Springfield Road, since she lives only | a mile from Elmwood. Sometimes she is lucky enough to get a ride with Janice to the stop sign. Danielle will probably be remembered forever by all grade 13 ' s and the rest of the school.

ROSALIND CHU Our wisdom comes from our experience and our ex- perience comes from our foolishness. This is Ros ' s second year in Canada. She is staying with her brother in an apartment. She is helpful and cheerful. She seems to enjoy very much of her life in Canada. Rosalind is friendly and she is also a very good cook. She is very quiet and attentive in class. She intends to take up commerce in University and be a chartered accountant as a profession. JULIA CLUBB Time, what is time, when one is in a state of sus- pended joy, - a Glebe Student Julia, the five-foot-nothing blond bombshell, will be remembered for her endless supply of energy, her ability to write English essays in Economics, and her baggy tights. Her ringing voice will echo in the halls of Elmwood for dusty ages to come. Six years of Elm- wood has taken its toll on Julia C. She can be seen enthusiastically volunteering her services to help or- ganize bake sales, dances, and numerous fund-raising ventures that Elmwood periodically attempts, and which the rest of us equally enthusiastically only think about. Cruising the streets of Rockcliffe in her blue Firebird and serenading the lovelies of Ashbxary is one of her many pastimes. Her one ambition in life was to be a famous basketball player but she found playing in ele- vator running shoes too difficult and even when wearing them she came three feet short of the mark. However, we all love our country bumpkin and we all promise to dance at her wedding on May 2! !

RITA LAI Among the newcomers , Rita is tfie most outstanding and most unusual in our class. She has a very good brain for mathematics and science, and one of her ambitions is to be a doctor. She is always willing to give others a helping hand in any way she can. And besides being an extremely intelligent girl in class, she is also very good at sports, especially volleyball. When she goes back to Hong Kong this summer she says she is going to devote all her time to playing this game. Good Luck Rita ! CHERRY KAM Although this is Cherry ' s first year at Elmwood she adapted to Canadian life rapidly. Being a new girl at Elmwood, Cherry was at first very shy to join in all the 13 ' s crazy activities but she quickly fitted in. Actually, she is quite a girl and she works very hard at school, but sometimes Cherry will easily get excited over everything. But, anyway, it is her character. Cherry plans to study commerce next year, so she will stay in Canada for awhile. We hope that she will never forget all her friends in grade 13. Good luck, Cherry!
