SHIREEN TRAINER Our frizzy-haired blond bombshell from Venezuela is the heart-throb of Carleton and Ashbury. During her short visit, she managed to develop her numerous talents and assets, and has left many a girl envious. Often known for her forthright opinions, Shireen does not hold much back - we sometimes wonder if the Venezuelan sun affected her particular attitudes! Her weekend biology field trips are a constant source of interest to all on Monday mornings studying the plants hard, Shireen? However, her discretion is part of her charm and attraction. We wish you the best of r luck wherever you go, whatever you do. Buenos Suerte K Or Wan CANDY WARREN One of the oldie goldies (and we do mean goldie, Miss Warren - or Warrenburger, Warrino or la Warrenette, as she is variously known) joined Elmwood in Grade 5 at the young and impressionable age of nine. For seven years she burned the midnight oil and managed to collect a slew of prizes, merits, and other academic miscellanea. In grade 12, as co-editors of Samara, she and Beth devoted countless hours to the school yearbook throughout the year and into the summer months. However, Candy also discovered New Wave, which resulted in a changed outlook, a change in hair color and slightly bizarre dancing at the Ash- bury Elmwood social functions. A frequent shrieker at the ' Broken Arms ' for Davey, Kit and the drummer, along with others, she found fame and the bright lights in the CBC studio this summer. She also hit the boards (literally) as the scarecrow in this year ' s production of The Wizard of Oz (who knows what will come of that)? Her plans are somewhat vague but she hopes to attend university in Canada or England soon and possibly to go to France. 17

v CAROLINE THAMER Caroline joined our ranks in Grade Eleven just in time to become one of the many quiet rebels of the renowed Terrible Twelves of ' 79. Since then she has been an ardent supporter of everything from Fry House Meetings to our massive Grade Thirteen Bake Sales. Are there really Smarties in those cookies? Caroline can always be found in the COMMON ROOM corner madly studying History and Economics oblivious to the weird and wonderful antics of those around her. Her plans in the future include university at Queen ' s or Carleton. Best of luck in the future Caroline and keep smiling. As for the future, Your task is not to forsee, But to enable it. BETH SWIFT Beth arrived at Elmwood just before Christmas in Grade Ten and during her three and a half years here our American import has managed to learn and contribute to the devious ways of the class of ' 80 as well as being a terrific Senior Pref ect. She sympathizes greatly with this year ' s Samara editors as she nostalgically recalls the classic question - You want it by WHEN, Mrs. Davies?!?!! Although she frequently forgets lunch duty (Thank God for Patzi)!!! and breaks all school uniform rules with her psychedelic sweaters, her innocent smiles ( 100 % foolproof) gets her out of trouble everytime. Although she claims to have no definite future in front of her, we can all see her ing off into the sunset with Frank. We love you Beth with a story like this, you ' ll have to live happily ever i 6

SIAN WARWICK LIZ WATSON Liz has been faithfully going to Ashbury for Music classes through the years and her performances in the band have been at least inspirational. She has made quite a name for herself, or pointedly her driving abilities, on numerous trips to Baskin and Robins. Her domestic front hides numerous behind-the-scences romances. She cooks and bakes and eats and sleeps and well . . . you know . . . she ' s sane and normal. She loves children and plans to become a child psychologist . . . Well, we all have our problems! Good luck Liz! What can be said about the multi-faceted Miss Warwick? To begir at the beginning, Sian entered Elmwood at the slightly-less-than-innocent age of 11 in grade 7. However, having reached the mature heights of grade 13, she can now look back on her high school career with more than a little laughter. During the seven or so years, she has been involved in two plays (not type cast as some would argue) as Grumpy in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, as the Wizard in the Wizard of Oz. Peripherally involved in academia, she manages to combine studying and working with hysteria-filled dancing sessions in the common room. She is also a current member of the Hen Party, having produced some interesting results after her bouts with the henna - to the continuous amazement of the English E class. All in all, she has been a fairly vocal member of the school, again both in and out of the classroom. Her plans for the future include the Univ ersity of Toronto next fall lo study languages or Political Science or Journalism or . . . Do not go gentle into the good night, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Dylan Thomas 18
