CLARE BUTLER Ever since Clare arrived at Elmwood for Grade Nine, on her trusty blue Peugeot, life has never been the same. Clare spends a lot of time reading in the most unsuspected places, thus appearing to be an innocent( 7 ) member of Grade Thirteen. But few people actually know Clare ' s other side. She ' s been known to push people off T-bars (OSCAR sandwiches?!), coach people on how to do spread eagles (right. Clare 7 ), and run red lights in her red Volvo wagon. What unfortunate people will ever forget those mad dashes to and from soccer games and cross-country runs? Her unmistakable laugh and great sense of humor have helped to keep us going this year. Clare plans to attend Queen ' s University next year; wherever she goes, whatever she does, we all wish her the best of luck! SORAYA FARHA Don ' t be blown away by Soraya ' s charm, wit, beauty and intelligence; underneath it all, she ' s just an ordinary charming, witty, beautiful, intelligent person. Con- sequently, she has achieved amazing grades and has become an important part of the soccer team. If she is not found in the Common Room doing an English E essay, Soraya is having her breakfast at Bagel Bagel, or lunch at the Bohemian There ' s something about Mad Fried chicken that makes her wild!! Soraya is known for her beige Volvo and her multi-colored top-siders. She will excel in all colors. We ' re happy you came back, Soraya! 15

CHRISTINE ASSAD Seven years ago, Christine c ame to Elmwood from her school in Gatineau, feeling shy and a little awkward - but that was all soon to change. As soon as she picked up a few more crucial English mots, her true, lovable, outgoing nature burst forth. Although a famed Ottawa celebrity known for her hostessing abilities ( The Brockeridge ). Christine did not put her talents to rest there. Always an active member of the school, she did a great job this year as Head of Nightingale, and her tree stands on our grounds in recognition of her contributions. We will all remain indebted to Christine for her recipes for Chocolate Chow Mein Clumps and Pita and Roast Beef Sandwiches! Keep up those great spirits and have fun always - we know you will! HEIDI BLAIR Heidi joined us in Grade Ten from Lisgar. Ever since she came to Elmwood, Heidi has contributed much to the music programme at Ashbury, with her silver flute. She also has her athletic side; she surprised us with her short-lived interest in track and field a few years ago. In her last year at Elmwood, Heidi developed an interest for the fostered children, as a result of being the head of Sui-Sang. Throughout her years with us, Heidi has maintained her unique sense of humor. Bonne chance! Time to stop this dreaming, Must rejoin the real world As revealed by orange lights And a smoky atmosphere. Genesis 14

HEIDI HOBDAY Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less travelled by. And that has made all the difference. - Robert Frost Heidi ' s (alias Hobdarino) love of languages is surpassed only by her desire to talk. Endlessly. Catty remarks, brilliant repartee, winning German contests and em- barrassing questions are just a few components of her vast repertoire, along with tinkling those old black and whites and singing soprano. Heidi ' s dancing (which she does with vehemence when she ' s not studying) can only be described as . . . AVANT GARDE? Yes, let ' s leave it at that. She spends a lot of time at Ashbury (but not v ' sitmg her little brother), and she rushes headfirst into things such as Miss Teen Greater Ottawa Contests, where one ' s head is the LAST thing the judges want to see. She has been seen this year with a sinister Marlboro- man, a boy who never fitz, and a Clockwork Orange pal. Heidi is known for her luscious glory and her ability to razz-rezz anything she comes in contact with. She will excel if she goes into translating, although we ' re not sure if there ' s a great demand for people who speak nadsat. Darlmk . . . i luff . . you ... A. JOANNA FRAYNE Joanna joined the ranks of our West End bus riders in Grade Eleven. This includes Mic ' s for breakfast. Late AGAIN, Jo! , and doughnuts and smokes before 4:30. Among her interesting characteristics. Joanna ' s most famous is probably the unique way in which she eats. The lunch room has been kept very entertained. We can never forget her developing techniques or perhaps not the techniques, but WHAT (or who) she develops. We ' ll never tell, Jo! Her trips down the hill for the necessities of life are also dubious. The Class of ' 81 will remember her for such things as Burger King for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I have a doctor ' s appointment, going to Eco today, and opening umbrellas in the common room. Behind the easygoing exterior is one of the most honest and un- predictable people Elmwood has ever encountered. Joanna ' s actions are sometimes a little out of the ordinary, but her sense of humour keeps us all laughing, even at the hardest times. Next year, Joanna is going to Algonquin for Social Work. Good luck, Jo, and it was a pleasure knowing someone as sincere as you.
