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.

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

CHRISTIANA IEONG This beautiful little Chinese doll came to us all the way from Macau for her last two years of high school. She will be remembered for her outstanding abilities in math which came in handy to us all throughout the year; her charming manner and her faithful spirit. Best wishes for successful future Chris! KATJA HULLEY Katja came to us in grade twelve, and somehow managed to stay until the end of grade thirteen. Although sometimes Katja would have liked to stay out of the classrooms, she enjoyed Mrs. Heacock ' s art classes, where she could use her great artistic talent to its fullest. Katja will be remembered for her great love of nature. She enjoyed all outdoor ac- tivities, especially white water canoeing. Best of luck in all your future endeavors, and don ' t give up the philosophy talks. JENNY LESLIE Along with Rachel and Marth, J. Jane is one of the original Trebies, although you wouldn ' t know it from her impersonation of Scottie. We missed Jen this year, she was at home for most of the year drowning her sorrow in TAB and G.T ' s. Be vewy quiet ... we are hunting wabbits ... As a Fry house head, Jen tried to overdose the school on ice cream, but she ended up using the surplus as bribery, to get her into England without a passport.
