. . . MRS. SIGMUND AND MRS. GILLEN To the two ladies who do so much to keep the school running, thank you from all of us. Mrs. Sigmund, a veritable specialist in the field of finances, and Mrs. Gillen, a near genius in everything else, joined us this year for the first time. We all fervently hope that they will stay as we could not survive without them. jSupporf JAN For countless years Jan has faithfully served Elmwood, and it is impossible to thank him enough for his time and energy poured into so many aspects of the school. At least this year he allowed us to take his photograph. Frankly it is the very least we can do. Thank you again Jan for being there when you are needed. Mrs. Marie Ryan, known affectionately as Marie, has been with Elmwood for some time, and has admirably risen to the challenge of keeping lunches orderly and on time for her near two hundred students. Flalloween, Christmas and. Sports Day are all examples of unparalled excellence in organization and effort. Thank you. 12

LYNNE HOUWING Lynne is Elmwood’s first . . . Head Girl of Dutch origin . . . Grade 13 to have a private chauffeur . . . synchronized swimming star. Her Dutch heritage has stood her well — her good humour, responsibility, and never-ending spirit have kept the school running smoothly, even in those doldrum days of February. She is quiet but forceful, and has maintained good relations with Ashbury (what other Head Girl has been able to look down on the Head Boy!) Lynne has taken part in almost every school activity, and she is always willing to give her assistance. In Grade 12 she was Advertising Editor of Samara, Sports’ Captain for Nightingale, as well as being active on school soccer and track teams. In her spare (?) time Lynne also swam in the Canadian Senior Championships. We never know how she manages to do everything she does and still keep her sanity — it’s no wonder she sometimes forgets how to spell her own name. What are you going to do with those two hundred copies of ‘Four Strong Winds’? In the fall Lynne hopes to study Biochemistry at the University of Toronto. We know that they’ll soon realize, as we have, that “still waters run deep” . . . oh, so deep! , FELICITY SMITH Felicity, better known by her friends as Flick, has been at Elmwood the longest of the Grade 13 students thus ' making her the most ex- perienced of us all (in more ways than one). From being the shortest in the class, she has blossomed over the years into a lady of great height, leaving some of us looking like a group of pygmies. It helps if you can eat as much and get as much exercise as she does when walking back and forth from Ashbury. We’re beginning to wonder if she really is an Elmwood student! Felicity has always been enthusiastic to take part in school activities. For several years she had been a member of the tennis and volleyball teams. Last year she gave up much of her time as co-editor of the year book. She also made her acting debut in the Elmwood-Ashbury play “The Crucible”. This year as Senior Prefect, Felicity still seems to find the time to get involved. Along with debating. Reach for the Top, and participating in House Games, she is also preparing for her Higher I.B. Diploma. This fall Felicity hopes to go to Trinity College to study Law. You’ll do well Flick, as long as you can just remember to get in bed by 9:00 without your boots on! Good luck! 14
