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

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

LYNN CHELLINGWORTH Lynne joined us at Christmas and has been a welcome addition. Her cheery salutations and sly replies . . . wink, wink, nod, nod ... no need to say more con- cerning her well-known or at least thoroughly discussed boyfriend Larry, punctuated every day of school. Lynne ' s bright eyes grinning guiltily in class has plunged most of us into the depths of a scolding from the teacher due to some secret, probably a dirty joke. We all wish Lynne every happiness and hope to see her again soon. 19 NANCY YEUNG Nancy joined us in 1973 - a quiet, friendly person from Hong Kong. Academically on the science side, she struggled to overcome the intricacies of the Eng- lish language and always with a smile! We wish Nancy a very happy career at university and every success in her chosen career.
