JANIETA EYRE After so many years at Elmwood she no longer dares to count them, is leaving to Victoria, Toronto and then a few years later to England, for graduate studies. Once in Europe she intends to pursue young artists, but while still in Canada she will behave and study Literature. She hopes to write both prose and poetry but as her unforgettable classmates reminded her last year; she will probably be more successful writing jingles for Hallmark cards. MARINA FOLK Marina entered our hallowed halls in grade nine, and has somehow managed to last through till grade thirteen. She will always be remembered for her worrying and wondering who she will go out with tonight. What a complicated life . . . poor girl. She was often heard in the common room saying God, I could go for a chocolate bar! , or screeching into the parking lot in order to avoid being late for her favourite class - Chemistry - But honestly, Mrs. Peat, I tried to be on time! . But seriously, believe it or not, Marina does have a serious side. After taking a year off to go out west, she plans to attend the University of Victoria, where she will major in Music or Languages. Good luck, Marina! DARYA FARHA The January 8th issue of The Sunday Times has remained a constant source of fascination for Darya this year. Her dedication to the preservation of jade trees remains a controversial issue, as well as her protests to save the harp seal and her work with young pandas. She wishes to live in her favourite city, Florence, where she will live. Darya is always 1st to pin up a hem, or sew on a button for anyone in the common room. Among her many goals in life is to carry to fruition her un- derlying, deep-seated interest in English, at the University of Toronto next year. Bye Bye Blackbird We ' ll be chirping when the worm comes home

JILL BAKER Jill entered this den we call inequity at the tender age of eleven following a sojourn at The Study in Montreal. Being no stranger to private schools, she soon knew all the school ' s idiosyncracies, such as uniforms, inside out, though she has never been given to wearing it that way. Over the years, Jill has, like the majority of her classmates, grown up. A resident mermaid , also known as the blond with the car , will be remembered for her irreverent comments and finely tuned wit. Her final year has been marked by such wonderous phenomena as Diet Coke, MacDonald ' s sundaes, smoked salmon, and discussions en ce qui concerne Roman Catholicism. Jill, herself, plans to study Science at Queens in the fall, where we are sure she will find time for a little Anglo Saxon on the side. Goodbye and good luck. JENNIFER BINDMAN Jenn Bindman was head of Keller House this year and did a fine job. Jenn will be remembered for her unique laugh and cheerful personality. She never lost energy or the desire to have fun, even if it meant breaking a rule or two (Remember those detentions in Grade eleven, Jenn?). Good luck with your future. JENNIFER CHENEY Jenn arrived at Elmwood fresh from Moscow. Accustomed to foreign postings, she has spent much of her six years at Elmwood wondering when she will be moving again. Like many of us, Jenn leaves a legacy behind which, albeit rich, is coloured with certain . . . ahem . . . forgettable experiences. Oh well fruit a loop! In recent years Jenn has dabbled her feet in such extra curriculae as Tennis and Choir. Grade thirteen she will remember as the year of LB., Brian Brown, Yum Chow, and the Formal Committee ( What do you mean ' the seating capacity is only . . . ' ? ), Jenn suffers from academic physiophrenia; a dual inclination towards Fine Arts and Sciences. She will pursue principally the latter at Trent University next fall. Best of luck, Jenn. 10

RACHEL GRAY Where I ' m going, anything may happen. Nothing may happen. I may become, in time, slightly more eccentric all the time. I may begin to wear outlandish hats ... I will be straight and light as any feather. The wind will bear me, and I will drift and settle, and drift and settle. Anything may happen where I am going. I will be different, I will remain the- same. I will be lonely, almost certainly. I will be afraid. Sometimes I will feel light-hearted, sometimes light- headed. I may sing aloud, even in the dark. I will ask myself if I am going mad, but if I do, I won ' t know it. (Margaret Lawrence). There are many memories hidden deeply in the third floor; diets, ice cream, John McEnroe, the brown tank, the love, and cer- tainly the frustrating closeness between us. To Ms. Johnson and Mrs. Faguey, sincere thanks and deep respect as well to Mrs. Whitwill who has tremen- dously inspired me, and of course to my classmates. MARTHA GALL Passing up the tradition of Dickie Dee and that Farmer ' s tan, Atram is romping through the wilds of Scotland, in an effort to retrieve her family dignity in Aberdeen. Ah but duty calls, and Marth is off in the fall to inject some life into the virtually comatose Queens University. Your mission, shall you choose to accept it, will include such roles as a demented prostitute turned scientist trying to save the world from an invasion of Halls and cinnamon hearts. Don ' t worry Marth, you ' re going out there a chorus girl and coming out a star . Space. The final frontier. The Five Year mission of the starship Enterprise: To seek out new worlds. To boldly go where no man has gone before. Like Marth we ' re really, really going to miss you CINDY HAYES Cindy came to us two years ago from Grand-Mere Quebec. She will be remembered for her blue eyes, winning smile, her ability to have fun, and her seemingly constant optimism. Sitting in the park, Greece, and Mrs. Outerbridge ' s Math classes will be among the fond (?) memories Cindy will take with her on leaving the school. Success in whatever you do, Cindy.
