JANIS ROBERTSON Janis invaded Elmwood in Grade 5 and has been leaving her mark on the school ever since. A skier and an athlete, Elmwood ' s ' Blonde Bombshell ' would always take time to lend a sympathetic ear and offer advice worth hearing. Good luck at Algonquin next year, Janis - but a word to you all, don ' t look for her there - Janis will be out on the slopes. GILLIAN TROOP This is Gillian ' s one and only year at Elmwood but in that time she has managed to join the ranks and be- friend us all. Gillian could easily be found in the midst of some gala occasion at the Party palace by the evi- dence of her notorious blue monster. Ms. Troupe ' s hy- sterical howls of laughter, well maybe her cackles, often induced the rest of the class to join her, ignorant of the joke, and knowing Gill ' s corny stories, ignorance is bliss. Gillian, we wish you success, happiness, and a husband if you change your mind. See you in the Bay

- Resisting temptation is merely a matter of putting it off until nobody is looking. Leslie has been walking through the halls of Elmwood since grade eight and this year she is the only girl in grade 13 to have the distinguishing mark of a dark tan in the middle of April besides Donna (some people get all the breaks). Leslie likes to have a good time and has been seen on several occasions riding around in a blue convertible. She ' s also been on numerous class ex cursions over the years. Remember the cruise, Spain, Quebec City? Leslie also likes to stay clean and spends lots of time in the tub, mind you, she doesn ' t always have a great time. This year she was on the Formal Committee and did a great job. Often she could be seen busily working on invitations. Next year Leslie plans to go to university. Good luck Leslie, at university and wherever else you go! LAURA PUN Laura is one of our newcomers from Hong Kong. She is a boarder with the Babbitts and is enjoying herself. She is also doing fairly well in her academic studies. Laura is always helpful and cheerful in class. She plans to take science in the university. Let ' s all wish her best of luck. Laura is a good companion because she can play Michigan Rummy with you all day. She knows all kinds of gambling and she told us that she is going to gamble with her brother in England during this coming summer. So again wish her good luck! !

SARA TYNAN-BYRD The reverend sister Sara has been with us since grade 12. Her cheerful cry of Sorry I ' m late, my baby broke down! marked almost every morning as my baby rested in the students ' parking lot. Sarah has demonstrated every principle of Christian charity, - her crusading drives to the renowned Chateau Barb- eque have saved many students from perishing, 1 for one will never forget that momentous occasion when Sarah participated in prayers as she stood transfixed in front of the school, her head bowed in prayer, only those in close proximity heard her utter those famous words Do you think we ' ll ever make it to Broadway? Mrs. Whitwill did not think Tynan Byrd would make it at least as proved by her performance. Speaking of per- formances, we will never forget her graceful appear- ance attired scimpily in a bikini. As star of stage and screen and chapel Sarah is sure to succeed in anything she puts her mind to. Goodbye Sarah. We will pray for you. DEBBIE WILLIAMS Nil sine magna labore vita dedit mortalibus. - Horace Debbie is Elmwood ' s Da Vinci. Unlike most of us who use our energies towards the development of our vocal chords (ha! ), Debbie uses her energy in her fingers and can draw an in-depth masterpiece in min- utes. She came here in grade nine - a great way to start an exciting high school life - and has graced the school with her presence ever since. Debbie is often seen and not heard, and every now and then she bes- tows us with pearls of wisdom or the odd witty com- ment. She has been known to play her harmonica in the common-room while we were trying valiantly to finish an essay which was due the previous day. Small but agile, Debbie had at one time the longest hair in town. She plans to go into science although we all wonder what such a great artist would be doing there. Oh well. Some of us are more talented than others. Good luck, Debbie! If we hear a harmonica in the dis- tance, we ' ll know who to look for . . . 18
