JOHANNE MAROIS Another new member of our class this year, Johanne is rapidly becoming bilin- gual. We can always tell when she is at school because the presence of her little red car, with Quebec plates, is so notice- able in the student parking lot! We appre- ciate her frequent lifts, both to and from Ashbury with (ahem!) a full complement of history-bodies; she is well-known for her unconventional seating arrangements . . . (Oh . . . Hi, officer!). Johanne loves to ski on the weekends, and is an habituee of Hull discos. Other favourite pastimes in clude riding and getting new, glamorous hairdos! One of Johanne ' s most ambitious aspira- tions is to become fluent in Spanish so that she can call herself ' trilingual ' . Johanne is hoping either to travel to Eng- land in September to attend Rockhampton School of Equitation, or to remain in town and go to Ottawa university. Bonne chance, Johanne, or perhaps Bon voyage! ROWENA MacLURE Rowena is one of the few hard workers in our class, not only in school work but in initiating reforms as well! When she joined us in Grade 11, she was appalled at the state of the bicycle shed, and she has been fighting ever since to have it replaced: we are hoping that her next project will be ac- quiring a juke box for the Common Room! Rowena will never forget her bicycle ac- cident in Grade 11, nor the weeks after- wards with a wired jaw, and drinking chunky soup through a straw! Her role as Vice -Head of Nightingale and her part as ' Mrs. Putnam ' in The Crucible this year involved much dedicated effort; another of her dramatic achievements was her part as ' The Mirror ' in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs . All of Grade 13 will certainly re- member for years to come the satisfaction obtained from devouring one of Rowena ' s famous brownies. Rowena hopes to study Occupational Therapy in the fall at a Canadian university. 15

ALISON HAYES Alison is one of those people who is de- termined to go where she wants to in life. The class is indebted to her for her per- sistent efforts in arranging the harried de- tails of the Graduation Dance, for which task she was able to call upon her last year ' s experience in the field. Whenever we see her before she goes to work in the afternoons, dressed in one of her stunning dresses or suits, we cannot believe that this is the same Alison who sits in a green uniform all day! Talented in jazz dancing, ballet, and art, she also likes to partici- pate in school activities, even if it means admitting that she has ANOTHER talent! Her acting ability, for example, was dem- onstrated when she played ' Rebecca ' in The Crucible , and danced in The Cabaret . Alison would like to continue teaching jazz next year, and to attend York Uni- versity to concentrate in visual arts or dancing. Hang in there, Alison. JANE BURKE-ROBERTSON When the third floor vibrates with shrill shrieks, squeals of disbelief and hysterical laughter, we know that Jane and Angel are having another one of their insulting con- tests. When she is not thus occupied, Jane can be found drinking (coke) in the Common Room, doing last minute homework, or talking about Dave. Despite these seem- ingly wild activities, she has been a stead- ying influence in our class since Grade 7, with the exception of one year, Grade 11, when she left us to spend a year at B.C. S. This year has been a busy one for Jane, who went through a night school course, resulting frequently in the sacrifice of the following mornings ' first period. Jane is thinking of remaining in Ottawa next year to study Law at Ottawa Universi- ty. We don ' t think she ' ll have any trouble, considering her previous RECORD, pass- ing the BAR exams! Good luck. 14

LOUISE ROBEY There is rarely a period in the day when we cannot find Louise curled up in the Com- mon Room, reading a gossip magazine. She is another quiet one who comes out of her shell only at Disco Dances, which she loves to go to on the weekends. After school on weekdays, she is a waitress at the Royal Ottawa Golf Club with Raine. Despite her brave efforts to make it to school on time in the mornings, she can usually be counted on to be the last to ar- rive! We will never forget the stray dog whom Louise brought to history class, or the impressionable costume she v ore for Glamour Day in Spirit Week! We still would like to know how many more years she plans to drive solely on the strength of that age-yellowed 365 ! Louise wishes to pursue the study of lan- guages at a university in Ottawa next year. Considering her present capability in Eng- lish, French, Spanish, and German, she should not have any trouble. RAINE PHYTHIAN What will we remember about Raine? Probably her lateness every morning, the death of her brown car, her silver car, The Muppet Show , and I ' m seeing doub- le! Raine has been dubbed the source of all gossip . She loves to go to parties, and has a huge wardrobe of outfits to suit every occasion, even parade ground in the army. Although she chose to desert her position as Head of the Formal Committee, Raine has lent her abilities in this field to the arrangement of the private Grade 13 Graduation Dance. She may never forget the Mediterranean Cruise in Grade 10 (or at least part of it). The Grade 11 camping trip may also stand out in her memory, especially the martians and the night of the thunderstorm! Although Raine has hoped to obtain a uni- versity degree with Louise in the effects of the Mediterranean sun ' s rays on the skin , she may have to settle for General Science in a Canadian university. 16
