LISA STILBORN JUDI STEINER Judi came to Elmwood in grade eleven from Ridgemont. She brought with her an assortment of colourful sayings and amusing descriptions of riotous happenings. In grade thirteen, Judi was a prefect in association with the junior school. She enjoyed working with the juniors and did an excellent job. Along with shortening her long locks, Judi also quit smoking in grade thirteen in an effort to improve her health. The last three years were sometimes rough, but Judi made it. Best of luck, Judi, in all future endeavors. Born at an early age, Lisa arrived on Elmwood ' s doorstep some years ago with deep reservations about the school. In spite of these, she somehow managed to endure five years. From the beginning, Lisa was always glad to render forth upon any subject; from the sublime to the ridiculous. She put these energies to good use in such ardent pursuits as debating and drama. Incidentally, her friends believe that the part of the raunchy Squire Western in Tom Jones was no challenge as it came naturally to her. Her final year at Elmwood has carried with it the predictable duties of Head Girl, plus a whole lot more. The year has been punctuated by such things as Tab, ice cream raids, prolonged panic sessions on the phone, the Drama Festival - Jill, follow that bus , and finally meaningful ambiguity, uh? Lisa will graciously concede the dramatic stage to Meryl Streep in favour of Political Science and English at the University of Toronto next fall, where we wish her well. PATRICIA SHIH Pat came to Elmwood this year for grade twelve, yet the grade twelves did not get to enjoy her company, for before long Patricia moved up into grade thir- teen. Despite the fact that Patricia ' s first language is not English, she did extremely well in her studies - especially since Patricia enjoyed being a whiz in math and science. Patricia enjoyed gym class and learned many new sports she had never learned before - and did very well in them! Best of luck Patricia in your future.

ANITA POON Here is a cute Hong Kong duck that joined us for grade thirteen. She very bravely came to us and managed, with considerable difficulty, but suc- cessfully, to master English and coping with seven courses as well. It was a long road, Anita, but you made it and we were very glad to have you with us last year. Your determination is to be admired! Greatest of luck in your future. JOANNA POCOCK Many substances are not easily vaporized and thus do not lend themselves readily to vapor density measurements. Foundations of Chemistry Joanna will be remembered for her resemblance to Maria Callas and the decals on her T-shirts: I ' m with her! Mimes top her list as does veal scallopini in the sun. Gratitude forever must go to Joanna for her countless trips down to the store on her skateboard, her hair flying in the wind (before she grew it long). A true Taurean, Joanna plans to go to a university where she will study. Roughly speaking fine arts are her cup of tea. Good Luck - Buona Fortuna, we ' ll miss you Joanna, CIAO! ANN RABY Ann came to Elmwood in grade nine. Though shy at the beginning, we soon discovered what a fantastic person she was, and still is. She danced for a while, but soon gave that up to pursue an exciting curling career. She practised so much that she won the silver for Quebec in the 1980 provincials. Ann could always be relied on to give good advice and set you straight. We will all be eternally grateful to Ann for taking us to McDonald ' s, when we had purposely forgotten our wholesome lunches, and needed a break. All the best at Ottawa University in pursuing your business career. Keep on curling, and you will make it to the nationals some day, and win a gold for Canada. 15

DANIELLE THOMPSON Danielle came to Elmwood in grade eight, and some how miraculously survived until the end of grade thirteen. Danielle will always be remembered for her unchanging good temperament. She was very friendly, and rarely if ever lost her good spirit. Danielle was always extremely dependable and could always be relied upon. Danielle was also famous-or infamous-for her delicious chocolate-chip cookies. Danielle became a prefect in grade thirteen and was, true to her nature, very reliable. Best of luck Danielle in nursing school. ANNE TESSIER Anne somehow survived the 10 years at Elmwood and topped it off with being the first head of Wilson House. She says she could not have done so well with her House if it had not been for the love and support she received from the school. In her 10 years at Elmwood she saw many changes: a new Head- mistress, new teachers, new students, a skating rink, a new parking lot, and finally, a new school. She wishes Mrs. O ' Brien ' s choir all the success and hopes to see them perform at the Royal Thompson Hall. She thanks Mrs. Scott who taught her that creativity is essential to the survival of a free spirit and she sends a big thanks to all her teachers who helped her survive. All the best at the University of Toronto, Anne, and keep rowing! SANDRA TITUS Some of the things that remind us of Sandra when she ' s not around are muffins, Carlos, McDonald ' s, and her white Zephyr. She has been in our midst since Grade Nine and is off to York University next fall to study Arts. She will carry with her fond memories of Mrs. Millington ' s French class, sunny days in the park, and a fantastic trip to Greece in March. Good Luck, Sandy. 17
