Pam is not like other people; she gets up at five o ' clock sharp to do her homework, in between milking the chickens and feeding the horses and various other mild affairs (you can tell that seven years of Elmwood life have gotten to her!) in her palatial Quebec estate. And, on the subject of wild life; our little Carmalita Poop is no longer a shrinking violet! - she started to swear in Grade 12 - and has been moseying on down to the vet ' s office, and it ' s not to get a check-up! Unfortunately, Pam has not been able to speak ever since Bubblicious hit the market. Scooting around the g . market to pick up bags of Ritchie ' s feed and seed, Pam ' s fli determined little face, under the influence of a Bubblicious hit, is known throughout the town. HEATHER KELLY Is it because it ' s springtime that Heather wears her rubber boots and yellow raincoat? No No No! Heather is just trotting over to Ashbury to see Ducky! Her peanut- butter-and-chocolate-chip creations will live on; we think it is all part of a massive plot (and we mean massive) to whom everyone owes a few pounds. When not studiously working (ha! ha!) Heather manages to fit in regular sessions of Dallas, Hercules, Another World and long sessions on the phone. Usually to be found hopping to the bop at the Coffee Houses, Heather did have a rather intriguing date for the semi-formal. Heather ' s taste in food includes milk and ginger ale, hot chocolate in whipped cream, tea in sugar and dry salt water crackers (but not all at once). Heather ' s CORRECT uniform, to which Mrs. Harwood-Jones can cheerfully attest, sets an example to us all. Plagued by the severe and contagious fakeritis, cured only by large doses of party-going, one of Heather ' s redeeming qualities is her ability to sing and dance AND know all the words at the same time. 12

RACHEL GOTLIEB Under the popular misconception that she actually had some brains, Rachel promoted herself to Grade 13 (not without some bribery and general connivance) . . . However, Rachel has been somew hat of an amusement with her tattered mink and her ridiculous hat collection. History class has not been the same. She manages to wake everyone up with her frequent interjections of Kill the Monster! From what we can gather this girl is the Rona Barrett of the future. She is never without some little tit-bit of general information and has a finger in every pie. Her tact however, is phenomenal. Our little go-go girl who paints herself purple for parties tends to leave a lasting impression on people and other valuables. Don ' t forget her name, Rachel is on her way to fame. Yet who would have thought the old man had so much blood in him. Shakespeare. MICHELLE HALL Every so often, we all come to know a very special type of person; one who can see beauty in the ugly and importance in the trivial, and from these select few, we can learn a lot. Michelle is one of these people; she loves donut runs, Ashbury hockey games, counting calories in carrots, fluorescent green leotards and . . . no, no, no! Arriving at Elmwood in Grade nine, Michelle has spent five short years studiously preparing for med-school while at the same time running a between-classes clinic at her house, and yet being a consistently terrific prefect. Good luck next year! In the midst of winter I finally learned that there was in me, an invincible summer. Albert Camus 11

When an Ecuadorian princess monkeyed her way into Elmwood, we thought she was God ' s gift from South America. Her bubbling sense of humour and terrific outlook on life has kept us going all year. Patzi ' s plans are: to join her parents in Germany and do even better in her studies than she did here - a million dollar brain! She will leave us with fond memories of a girl who is, and always will be, truly sincere. To Patzi we say; Buena suerte y esperamos que tu regreses. Besos y abrazos, La Clase del 80. SARAH MARTIN Sarah is amongst five of us who has been at Elmwood for seven years. The list of Sarah ' s accomplishments is endless . . . her ability to keep us smiling with her incredible laugh, her record breaking time in returning the Wagon to Peter at Ashbury, her skiing, being head of Nightingale house and especially her serving the 3:1 ratio in her ' 79 Spanish class - ircecuerdas Sarah ' s plans are uncertain at the moment but we wish her all the best of luck for the future. There are places I ' ll remember All my life though some have changed Some forever not for better Some have gone and some remain All these places had their moments. Lennon and McCartney
