SANDRA ULCH Sandy joined the “Elmwood Clan” during the early days of Grade 9. In her preliminary years at the School, Sandy was renowned for her quiet, studious disposition and “apparent” reserve. However, that was soon to change, and by Grade 1 1 , Miss Ulch had slowly emerged to become quite the little “monster”! Today Sandy has been associated with great “disco legs”, a fabulous potential for a future career in skiing “aerobatics”, not to mention volleyball, highland dancing and choir. In addition, and much to everyone’s amazement, Sandy joined the Cameron Highlanders — we are still wondering why??!!Unfortunately for Grade 13, Sandy now insists that we all “Present Arms” every morning at 0900! During her years at Elmwood, Sandy has been Head of the Library Committee and a member of the Sui-Sang Committee. This year she has been Head of Keller House and a School Prefect. Sandy is looking forward to attending Queen’s University in September — hopefully to follow a career in Psychology. Best of luck, Private Ulch, Sir! SUSANNAH POWER Known to her friends as Banana, Sue entered Elmwood in Grade Nine. Since then, squeals of “Degoutant” and her indescribable giggle have echoed through the halls. Besides being a promising member of “Reach for the Top”, Sue was also our very competent Dance Committee chairwoman who kept Ashbury and Elmwood rocking and rolling. This year Sue is an ‘all round’ Prefect, a liason with the Junior School, and the head of the Formal Committee. During this busy year, she was often seen panic-stricken, spending the better part of her spares looking for her car keys. Another constant concern of Sue’s is the Williamson ' theory dealing with the fluctuating economics and morality of the Western world. Sue hopes to study Psychology at Queen’s or McGill this fall. We wish you the best of luck and may a silver Seville haunt you for the rest of your days. 16

SARAH MURRAY What can one say about a tall, blonde, blue-eyed Irish girl? . . . Ostrich legs? . . Moo . .? The versatile Ms. Murray, came to Elmwood in Grade Seven. Since then she has contributed much to School life; she has played every sport from volleyball to hookey, has sung in the choir, and played an outstanding performance as “Prince Charming” in Snow White, and, held previous positions as Sports Captain, member of Samara Committee and the Student’s Council. There are many things which will always be associated with Sarah: who can forget those ‘mad’ Murray parties? Who else could drive a car down Carling Ave. like a cowboy? Who could get herself in the worst predicament and come out ‘smelling of roses?’ And again, who else can we blame for all those dates we never had — eh Sarah? This year Sarah has been Head of Nightingale House, a School Prefect and a member of the Formal Committee. Sarah hopes to go to Guelph University in September to study veterinary medicine. Buena Suerte Sarah, hasta rnanana — until we meet again! ELIZABETH CAMP Liz returned to Elmwood in Grade 9, and since then she has never ceased to amaze us with her melodramatics both on and off stage. She has made a great contribution to Elmwood drama as the lead in ‘Snow White’ and as Betty in the ‘Crucible’. But these are only her public appearances; many-a-time Grade 13 has been entertained by rather interesting renditions of Rod Stewart and Bob Seger, interspersed with such phrases as: “Oh my God, I’ve lost my essay!” and “What do you mean we only had to answer THREE of the questions?” But despite her antics, Liz takes her responsibilities seriously; as coeditor of last year’s Samara it was many a night that Liz stayed after school to work. This year, as a House Head, she has devoted much time and effort towards Fry, and has encouraged spirit in the whole school. Next fall Liz plans to attend Queen’s University to study political science, and she hopes to follow a career in Public Broadcasting. 1 ots of luck, Liz, we kn ow you’ll make it! IS

LYNN PARKER Ever since Lynn, Elvis and Jimmy Carter came to Elmwood in Grade 11, she has overwhelmed the class with her ‘rock and roll’, especially at her unforgettable parties. As well as gaining recognition for her impersonations, Lynn has been known to achieve great things at social events. How many girls could go to a party with two dates . . . and pull it off! Other than keeping good relations with Ashbury, she has proven herself gifted in business matters. Lynn has been responsible for the popular House T-shirts, and in Grade 12 she helped with the financial aspects of the ‘Crucible’ and was a member of Sui Sang. This year Lynn has been a spirited Prefect and a member of the Formal Committee. As an active participant of Fry, she has used her overflowing energies to support intramurals, particularly basketball and soccer. Next year, Lynn hopes to go to Queen’s University to study Business and Drama. Have a ‘Whooper’ of a good time! SUSAN ANDERSON Susan is another old-timer of Elmwood, having been a student here since Grade Seven. She may seem very quiet and shy to the ordinary passerby, but for those who have grown up with her, we know better! When Sue is given a job, she always does the work very efficiently as proven when she was a member of the Sui Sang Committee last year and this year as Chapel Monitor. Sue is also one of the dedicated economic and business math students who makes her tracks to Ashbury several times a week. We will never forget the few pounds we’ve gained this year because of her delicious chocolate cakes which are quickly devoured at break in ten minutes Hat. One of the class traditions has always been Sue’s birthday parties which we look forward to every year. This fall, Sue is planning to study Business Accounting in Ottawa. Good luck Sue and don’t forget us. When next February comes along, we will be expecting an invitation! 17
