ELIZABETH SEWARD Lizzy-Miss-Dizzy came to our class in Grade Ten, and since then the class has been different. For the first year. Liz was pretty quiet (unheard of!), concentrating on her marks. But Grade Eleven came in with a bang, and Liz showed everyone her ability to have fun, in and out of school. Last year, we all benefitted from Liz ' s hostessing. Her culinary efforts are something to see; she uses everything from corn starch to ketchup to thicken her beef stroganoff. But Liz is a many-faceted person, and although she enjoys herself in her own time, she still keeps the brains in working order. Last year, she won the Lieutenant Governor ' s Medal. This year, she has been accepted into McGill University for a Science program. The uproar in poor Montreal will be heard by those who are going to Queen ' s! Good luck, Lizzy, and see you around. CATHERINE SMITH Catherine joined us in Grade Ten, and since then, she ' s become an integral part of the class. She ' s well liked by everyone, and is one of the few who can commiserate with both the Artsies over all those horrific essays, or the high-browed scientists over such learned problems as how fast the level of a martini is rising when half an olive is submerged in a martini glass. However, all in all, she is regarded as a cool, calm and collected member of the form. With such a reputation, it seems a bit strange that you find her in some of the weirdest situations. Who can imagine Catherine, of all people, going wild at that pignic lunch in Grade Twelve? That was one definitely large lunch, but the only effect that this orgy of eating seemed to have on Cathy ' s cool front was the fact that she had to let out her kilt a few feet. Cathy ' s cool should help her get through life at the University of Toronto, and the weird situations she has encountered here will most definitely prepare her for the social life. Good luck, Cathy! 22

EVA RASTER Otherwise known as Eva Rooster, she calls herself a Gift from God. Eva waltzed Into Grade Thirteen in October, late as she usually is for her classes. She has many hidden talents, which did not come to light until the second and third terms: her pigouts at Ashbury tuck shop, and her suntannmg from the Grade Thirteen balcony to the park. She complained about the lack of night life in Ottawa and decided to do something about it and find her own Mm- sky ' s in hope of finding some fun! Eva is not the quiet girl that she seems to be; you have to watch out for her ' cause she ' s a wild blonde from Chicago. She hopes to go to Carleton next year (we all wonder why, eh Jim?) and dazzle everyone with her language abilities. Who knows, she might even become a translator for the U.N.! Watch out Ottawa, ' cause Eva ' s staying in town. Don ' t be good - you can ' t have any fun that way! Ml ANDREA ROBERTSON This capricious young Celt is certainly not your average dour Highland Scot. If at any time a frown does cross her face, it is quickly replaced by her infectious smile and irrepressible laughter. She has an inane sense of humour and often gives the impression that she is light-headed. She is also wonderful to have around because she ' s filled with incredible energy and enthusiasm, which inspires everyone. Whether she is dancing madly at parties, singing boisterously at parties, or simply running madly AFTER parties, Andrea is as outgoing as it is possible to be. Mind you, she is equally enthusiastic about Art and Art History classes, although she hates to be classified as Artsy. Her love of art is only surpassed by her love of nature, Jeffie ' s little doggies, and generally having a wild time. She often is very theatrical, and therefore should make a great actress. Doubtless, her unmistakable voice will carry to the back of many theatres in the future. Who knows, maybe there will be that ominous blue-black Beaumont waiting for her at the backstage door after every stunning performance. Dance, then, wherever and with me; we are the lords of the dance says me. From one who flings you many kisses, Hobdarino. 21

CARINA VAN HEYST Not known to be timid. Carina seldom refrains from voicing her opinions, whether in direct contrast to those of our distinguished professor, or acting the conscience of her friends. Never does she miss the chance to show her great spirit, whether at the dances, being a D.J., doing her thing in the talent show, or tearing up the soccer field. Carina has truly left her mark on the school - in blue, green, orange, yellow and red. Our stripe is something that won ' t easily be removed! She has also demonstrated her powers of organization in her two valley-wide television ap- pearances on Reach. and her infallible planning of the best Elmwood Graduation Dance ever. Here ' s to sen- timentality. Carina: remember In Praise of Older Women! How about those eggrolls, and the trips to the store for Smarties?! Well, kid, you only graduate from high school once, and if you ' re going to do it. do it well, and with style - as you did. Partir, c ' est mourir un peu. A SUE WARREN A real veteran of Elmwood, everyone will agree that Sue has left her mark on the school - in a rainbow of colors. As a House Head this year, she had nothing to say (to quote her), probably having talked herself out with Samara last year. Sue is a very energetic member of the class; who else could dance for four hours straight? In fact, Sue enjoyed the dances and coffee houses so much that she decided to D.J. two coffee houses with her cohorts, proving to all that anything they can do, we can do better! Our little purple princess has some rather amazing abilities; she can play the piano with six hands, and influence certain tall, dark and handsome men(!) by flashing a brilliant smile. The high point of her year was her trip to Great Britain, and since she enjoyed it so much, we hope she ' ll get back there again. Well, Sue, it ' s been an amazing seven years (except for the brief trip to Australia) and you ' ve put a lot into Elmwood. We know you ' ll put everything you ' ve got into Queen ' s next year (and anything you do), and when the going gets rough, get a Spanish coffee! 23
