AMANDA LOVATT SDidey-legs Lovatt has enthralled everyone with her continuous eating since Grade Nine, rising to pre-eminence in Grade Thirteen as Senior Prefect. Another one of those Sciency people. Amanda tries to dazzle us with her knowledge of music as well; these Senior Prefects - what else can you expect? On the whole, Amanda is a stable character, saving her rowdy outbursts for the weekends Not just another dumb blonde who only likes to party. Amanda enjoys working hard(?!) on her studies, teaching piano chez her after school, taking candid shots of others, and tipping her sailboat in Britannia. Mandy enjoys rural life as well. She worked on a farm during the past summer, and captured everyone ' s attention with heavenly smells when she returned. Amanda hopes to go to Waterloo next year, to study Math. (We tried to enlighten her, but she wouldn ' t listen). As Waterloo is on the co-op system, Ottawans will be seeing her at odd times of the year, when she comes home for a work break. Good luck, Amanda, you poor, misguided Math freak! ROSALINE NGAN When you find yourself in hot water, take a bath. This Math whiz came to us in Grade Twelve from a foreign country. It was an easy transition for Ros, coming from another girls ' school; but she also travels extensively, and has experienced much. Ros enjoys it here because it is a wild and crazy place, and to her, wild means savage and crazy means insane. She leaves to you a little thought: When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Best of luck in your further studies, Ros! 19

ALISON LEE Al came to Elmwood in Grade Seven, and her record speaks for itself; she is Head Girl this year. For several years, Alison ' s singing voice has put the rest of the school to shame; this year it has kept quiet. Among Ali ' s other accomplishments (other than those that go with her position) are acting, modelling, pianoing, organ playing at Ashbury, soccering, and Jim. Although you might expect her to be hard working, Alison is actually very amusing. She is the one person everyone can talk to. Alison has also made life easier for us all, in English in particular, with her imaginative but religious analysis. Mind you, it would be even better, Al, if you would speak at less than two hun- dred words a minute; that way our notes would be less discombobulated. But to know Al is to know a well rounded human being. Best of all, her lack of bad temper has made her a great joke taker, someone we can all have fun with. (Sorry, Jim, don ' t get jealous!). Best of luck, Alison, wherever you go. ANDREA KORDA Andrea came to Elmwood halfway through Grade Six, and still managed to get her Merit; since then, she has dazzled all newcomers with her rows upon rows of Merit pins. She is one of the few girls with so many extracurricular ac- tivities that we can ' t keep track of them . . . basketball, first aid, swimming, horseback riding, the hairdressers ' . . . And not to mention that she was on the advertising section of Samara and was Head of Keller this year. Although quite quiet at times, her laughter br eaks through and we know she is there. Andrea has always been a Science interestee. and wants to go on and study Medicine at Queen ' s. Leave all those patients alone, Andrea, and good luck! . . . Who was on the bus this morning? 18

ANGELIKA ORFANOS Angelika arrived at Elmwood last September in full uniform for the first and last time. She has shown amazing imagination in her outfit creations. The green atoms in her socks turn instantly white as she puts them on . . . did you learn that in Physics class, Angelika? Often she ' ll whip out of the Common Room in those purple sweatpants, her feet a blue and yellow blur in flashy Free Spirit Bauers. She ' s always the first one ready for a Rockcliffe Depletion Run - hair flying back, a toothy grin on her face. Other pastimes include ballroom dancing ( cha cha cha! ), Greek Easter celebrations and rating our teeth and haircuts. Well, you ' ve sure made our day many a time, and you ' re going to Angelikalize many more! Seriously, we ' re fortunate to have known you this past year. Take care and best of luck in whatever you do! LISE PARADIS Lise is the first French Canadian that we know who has learned to live with it and laugh about it! She has a renowned ability to change the lyrics of hymns and give them her own special meanings. Lise enjoys running and has taken part in many road races, including the National Capital Marathon. She will be remembered for her horse laugh . . . borrowing . . . bus tickets . . . hitting her friends for no reason . . . those dates . . . Grade Twelve Formal . . . and last but certainly not least, her misconceived vanity. Lise ' s love of children has been aptly shown in her various activities, which include being a camp counsellor, a patient teacher of 3 4 gym, and Junior School Prefect. With this experience, it is not surprising that she plans to work with children in Nursing or the Physical Education profession. Well, Froggy, whatever you do, keep hopping along! 20
