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

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

judy McGrath This has been Judy’s first year at Elmwood but even though she’s only been here a year she has added something very special to our crass. She made all the boring classes that we had to attend exciting and sometimes unforgettable. Judy is known in our class for saying things like ‘Do ya wanna go outside for a cigarette’, ‘I’ll sew it when I have time’, ‘Look guys, can you hold this for a minute’ and ‘I forgot my lunch again!’ Even though it was Judy’s first year she jumped into the swing of things through many school activities such as the Elvis Chorus Line, member of Student’s Council, member of Nightingale, supporter in all their house activities and one of the infamous ‘Four Strong Winds’. Wherever Judy decides to go or whatever career she plans to study we know that good luck will come her way as it did when she came here. Good luck next year Judy! GRADUATES 79 Congratulations. The effort was worth it after all. Thank you for the spirit which you energetically pumped into the school. That at least you will leave behind you. Good luck to you all. 18
