ELIZABETH SELLERS Elizabeth came to Elmwood in Grade 7 and since then, she and her very distinc- tive head of hair have been found in virtu- ally every corner of the school, usually out of bounds. She has lent her consider- able talents to Elmwood ventures for seven years: in Grade 12, she led the Seven Dwarfs as ' Doc ' , and this year she starred in The Crucible as ' Elizabeth ' , - displaying the full range of her dramatic capabilities. When the early mornings do not prove too much for her, Liz shows her practical side as the Students ' Council representa- tive for Grade 13; she has also taken vig- orous parts in the Formal debate. One of the great (mentionable) passions of Eliza- • beth ' s life is riding, and she is finally in a position to satisfy her desire. Elizabeth will leave Canada after completing Grade 13 to attend Rockhampton, an academy of equitation in England. Good luck, Liz. Our best wishes to you. AGUEDA TAKACS For two years, through sheer willpower and determination, Agueda has resisted the temptations which have been the down- fall of the rest of us. This time last year, however, Agueda couldn ' t have dreamed she ' d ever be teaching us swear words in Spanish! She is known for her facial ex- pressions which change every few minutes, and range from utter disbelief to screwing - up-her-nose-in-distaste. (We have yet to see her look embarrassed ,) Another of Agueda ' s admirable assets is her ability to concoct a different excuse every morning for being late. Her memories of Elmwood will include bird watching (!), history tests, Oh God! , and Up the Revolution! Next year, Agueda plans to study archae- ology at university. Our best wishes follow her for a happy and successful future. 17

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

MARY WILSON Although Mary attended Elmwood in Grade 5, she is the most recent addition to our happy flock in Grade 13, and we hope that the shock of a second immersion in Elmwood life was not too much for her. To the casual observer, Mary has more than recovered, and has taken part in every Elmwood function, including dancing, sports, intramurals, and dramatics. Re- cently she became a member of the Ontario Provincial Field Hockey Team - now she secretly dreams of the next Olympics! Mary can be found wherever the action is, usually behind the lens of a Nikon. She is appreciated for her generous contributions to the Common Room, including posters, a stereo, a cassette recorder, and fre- quent, much-needed tidy-ups! Mary is uncertain about her plans for next year, but they will certainly involve sports - she has great aspirations for a camp for young people this summer. Thanks for everything, Mary, and keep in touch! ANGELIQUE WILLIKIE The name Angel hardly seems appro- priate at times for such a character, al- though it might have been, when she first arrived in Canada! The youngest member of the class, Angel formerly attended school under the British system of educa- tion in Jamaica. She has since made a dis- tinctive mark on the class as a young re- bel (especially at Ashbury) who is never afraid to speak her mind. An avid enthusi- ast of both modern dance and ballet, Angel attended every Elmwood-Ashbury Disco and contributed her talents to The Caba- ret . She will long be remembered for her role as Tituba in The Crucible , being Vice-Head of Fry, her habit of wildly ges- ticulating during English Seminars, and for interjecting bla bla bla when at a loss for words. For a long time Angel has planned to study languages at university, and next fall her dreams may come true. Best wishes! 18
