ROSEMARY NESBITT An Elmwood veteran of five years, Rosemary never ceases to amaze us: for example, how can a delicate girl like Dee-dee , armed only with that frivolous confection that she calls a hat, battle her way under subarctic conditions through the treacherous snows of Rockcliffe ' s unplowed roads? And to think, she is never more than an hour late! However, her daily trek does not detract from the energy she gives to her work as Prefect and Head of Keller. In Grade 12, Rosemary ' s activities includ- ed volleyball, soccer, and campaigning as Advertising Editor of Samara . She was also a very successful Sports Captain and was responsible for the new Elmwood T-shirts. Contrary to her house affiliations, Rose- mary hopes to follow in Florence Nightin- gale ' s footsteps and study Nursing in an Ontario University. Good luck, Rosemary! HEATHER MacPHEE Heather joined us in Grade 12, and Elm- wood has not been the same since. During her first year she participated eagerly in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs as ' Dopey ' with the big ears and ever stum- bling feet. Heather played in Senior Vol- leyball and Soccer teams, and she has carried over her enthusiasm to her house games this year, as she was made a Pre- fect and Head of Fry. Her other less sporting ventures include water fights and snowball attacks on the third floor. Tut, tut, Heather! Her friends will remember her for her stolen weeks in Florida, and rather tropical -looking sun tans, which were visible through gaping holes in her leotards. Heather hopes to head off to St. F.X. (Francis of Xavie to study Physical Edu- cation next year. Her ultimate aim is to become the first woman R.C.M.P. officer to ride in the Musical Ride! Good luck to you, Heather!

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

r CARLA PEPPLER Carla ' s deceptively quiet presence has been with us since Grade 7 and those years have seen many changes in her. Always a hard worker and su ccessful achiever, Car- la has unknowingly been an example for the rest of the class - whether we followed the example or not! Some of her hidden talents include swimming in the Olympic Trials and piloting airplanes. She was also a member of Elmwood ' s Tennis Team which made the Ontario High School Champion- ships! Carla has been an industrious Pre- fect this year, working closely with the Junior School and contributing her efforts to various activity organizations (and Prayers!). Unfortunately she has not yet won her local campaign to have an elevator installed on the back stairs! Carla plans to study Nursing at univer- sity next year where we know she will be very popular: although she won ' t be need- ing it, we wish her the best of luck. ALIX PARLOUR Those of us who have known Alix for well nigh three years never cease to mar- vel at her infinite talents and abilities. An invaluable member of the class and the school, ' Mortimer ' was the initiator of the successful Drama Club, and assisted in every facet of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs . Other extracurricular activities included involvement in the Chess Club and Debating Team, Senior and Junior Choirs, tennis tournaments, and acting as Students ' Council Secretary and Assistant Editor of Samara . This year Alix ' s brainwave was the (in)famous Coventry Day , and she also played the part of ' Abigail ' in The Cruci- ble , to mention only a few of the many contributions she made to the school as a Prefect and Head of Nightingale. Sigh and How tragic ! will be remembered as her favourite expressions, and never will we forget the Alix look ! Next year Alix hopes to study medicine. We know she will achieve whatever she wants to. 12
