The commence- ment of the year saw the designing of a new cover by Christine Humphreys; we hope that you will find it to your satisfaction. Another new addition to the year- book was the Teachers ' Questionnaire from which we were able to write a brief synopsis of each member of the faculty (the truth comes out, girls! !). We have noticed that in past years the Juniors are, to a great extent, left out of Samara, and that the magazine seems disproportionately oriented towards the Senior School. We have tried to correct this by devoting more pages to Junior activi- ties and sports (now the Grade Eight girls will NEVER forget that week in Ap- ril when a class of Ashbury boys descended upon them!). We have also tried to include in this edition of Samara the changes that have occurred at Elm- wood during the year - such as, for example, the new look of Closing. Most of all we have attempted to capture the moments which have made this year unique and that, in times to come, will distinguish it from any other. When you ' re old and gray we hope Samara 78 will help you to relive the many expe- riences you have had at Elmwood. We will be pleased to hear your comments on this year ' s book, and the best of luck to next year ' s Editors, Candy Warren and Beth Swift.

JENNI JOHNSTON Jenni has just completed her ninth suc- cessful year at Elmwood. From Grade 5 to Grade 13, she has punctuated her school career with many triumphs, culminating in her appointment as Head Girl. Jenni is known for her eager participation in every school function, no matter how humble. The school owes her many thanks for her contributions to Senior Volleyball, Soccer, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (its costumes and finances), and Sui Sang . Jenni is a many-facated person however, and the calm, efficient manager that the school sees every morning is not the Elm- woodian that we know so well. She has tried, on her own initiative, to co-ordinate activities with Ashbury, and the spirit of goodwill which was the result will carry on into next year. Jenni hopes to study physiotherapy fol- lowed by medicine, at a Canadian univer- sity next year. We wish her every success in this field. KAREN MOLSON Karen, who arrived in Grade 9, is a veteran of Elmwood - and who should know better than she, the ins and outs of this year ' s Grade 13 class „ She has taken part in both Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (as a costume maker) and in this year ' s production of The Crucible , in which she co-starred as the unforgettable ' Mary Warren ' . Perhaps the greatest contribution Karen has made to the school is through her work on the Samara . As Editor last year, she produced the finest Samara yet, and with her assistance as Advisory Editor such a standard will undoubtedly be maintained this year. Karen was elected Senior Prefect and has performed her duties admirably, and those of us who can be bothered to read the notice board will have noticed the concise minutes of Stu- dents ' Council, for Karen was also its Secretary this year. Next year, Karen hopes to study Arts at Carleton University, and early indications point to her having every success. 10
