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.

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

SUSAN ISAAC Susan came to Elmwood in 1976. and ever since then, she has had an everlasting affair with, what else . . . Harlequin Romances. Her interests did not stop there, however, for if she did not have her nose buried in the latest Harlequin, she could be found writing poetry or short stories, or off on a trip to South America. This is most probably what sparked her interest in the Spanish language and Julio, although we think Mme. Sabourin also had something to do with it! Susan ' s love for English and the Art courses in general made her decide, after Grade Eleven, never to open one of those hateful Math or Science books again. Susan plans to take journalism at Carleton; following that, she has hopes of reporting to us on the doings of the South Americans ... in both English and Spanish?!! We wish you all the best, and keep up the Schtroumph collection 1 SABINE JURGENS Perhaps at one time, when she came to us in Grade Eleven, Sabine ' s quiet, ladylike mannerisms, enhanced by her long hair and glasses, may have been partially genuine. Her image was destined to change. Nowadays, her hair is basically short and sassy. No more glasses, no more ladylike facade. She ' s definitely made a sporty conversion. It seems Sabine is always engaged in some sort of physical activity, although we don ' t always know what. At times, she ' s hard to catch, but we ' ve discovered the magic words: Wanna cup of coffee, Sabine? That ' ll get her every time. Sabine is one of those people who is good in all aspects of school life, and her friendliness can be confirmed by anyone. She ' s one of those people we will remember for years to come, but for what other reason than her Dutch name? After all, it ' s not every day that you meet someone named Sabine. Honestly, though, we ' ll miss you. Take care of yourself, kiddo. Be sure to look for happiness, whether it be at Ottawa U or anywhere else. 17
