VICE-PRINCIPAL Mrs. G. G. Aldous For eighteen years Mrs. Aldous has walked the halls of Elmwood and has become an indispensa- ble part of the school. Besides carrying out her duties as Vice-Principal and teaching Art His- tory, Sewing, and Classics, she has sewn play costumes, painted backdrops, cooked in the kitch- en, mopped up lakes of water in the washrooms, comforted banged knees, gone with tennis teams to Montreal, and accompanied Mrs. Gundy on Grade 13 Biology trips. Sometimes it is difficult to understand how she finds time for it all, but then everyone ha s heard her exclaim It ' s un- real! . Nevertheless, she always manages to get things done. What would we ever do without you, Mrs. Aldous ! ADMINISTRATION Mrs. McFadyen Secretary Mrs. Sigmund Accountant 3

The energetic Mrs. Birch-Jones of British heritage appears in many aspects of Elmwood life. Apart from teaching maths to the top half of the Senior School, Mrs. B-J designs stage sets, plays most sports and even sings. Seen at most of the volleyball tournaments, supporting the school, Mrs. B.J. was asked to be the Team ' s mascot. However, she backed down when she found out that she would be tossed, legs first, three times in the air! The Head of the Junior School, Mrs. Chance hails from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Mrs. Chance teaches such fine arts as English, History and Bubble Gum Etiquette. Asked to comment on her extra scholastic activities, she stated that quilting, a husband and three children keep her busy. Mrs. Chance ' s favourite food is Elmwood lunch. The people she most admired were the Bubble Gum Chewers of this world and the Queen. She also owns 89 pets in the Junior School. Mrs. Davies ' years at Elmwood have been spent teaching English, Aborigine and Italian. Her earliest ambition in life was to be a Rally - Car driver (she is still hooked on the idea). Mrs. Davies enjoys main- taining her sanity and playing tennis. The persons that she most ad- mires are Sir Winston Churchill, Frank Sinatra and those who can stand up and can count! Mrs. Davies ' pets are named Tiggy, Abi, Moosey and Chumley. Mrs. Gundy ' s place of birth is Scotland. Her early ambition in life was to play the bagpipes or teach Elmwood Biology. Mrs. Gundy ' s 5. 75 years at the school have included such special activities as child care and babysitting courses, not to mention frequent camping trips. Her favourite foods are ' health giving ' foods, such as Hot Dogs, Chocolate and Haggis. The people she most admires are Art Buchwald, Tom Lehrer and the Loch Ness Monster. As for her favour- ite saying - well, what do you think? Sadly, Miss E. Gwilym was unable to remember her name although she did know that she taught something. The ' multi-talented ' Gwilym can perform amazing feats which range from eating a cookie faster than the speed of sound, and playing volleyball, to playing the piano with her toes! Paddington Bear and Grade 12 Ashbury were the persons that she most admired. However, she did say that she quite liked her pet wombat P.J. and Mary Poppins . (Very interesting, Miss Gwilym!)
