MAUREEN ASSALY Maureen can easily be referred to as the veteran Elmwoodian of Grade Thirteen as she came to our hallowed halls in Grade Two! She is well known for her punctuality - you can always count on an 8:40 arrival or maybe even an exact 8:45 squeaker. Also, with every lunch bag a surprise of sliced carrots and cucumbers. The clarinet was played effortlessly by Maureen for the school band, the tennis team was her favourite activity but we must not forget her participation in the Knots Landing discussion group within the Grade Thirteen Common Room. Often after the March Break a noticeable tan returns with Maureen as a reminder of Casablanca, Jamaica or Brazil. This year you could see Moe driving off into the sunset in her blue Saab. Throughout her many years at Elmwood Maureen was always friendly and ready to listen. Take care and best of luck in your studies with Early Childhood Education at Algonquin. TERESA BASINSKI Teresa joined the Elmwood Gang in grade ten. For the first while Teresa seemed quite studious and reserved with a passion for Romance novels. However, that was soon to change so that by grade eleven Teresa had been totally converted into the craziriess that is distinctly Elmwood ' s. Teresa will be remembered for her concern, for her solidarity, her addiction to TAB, her valiant effort as a chapel monitor and her love for Perrier or is it Perry, eh? As Elmwood ' s resident history buff, Teresa was a member of our Reach for the Top and Student Commonwealth Conference teams. Her incredible knowledge of dates and world affairs helped Elmwood make credible showings in both instances. Teresa was asked to be a representative of the Ottawa All-Star team that represented the region against a team from Lahr, West Germany. When not correcting History Textbooks Teresa was actively involved in Drama for three years. It is not often one meets someone like Teresa, she ' s a real friend, we ' ll miss you, GOOD LUCK in whatever you do. ELISE BRAITHWAITE Elise has been at Elmwood since Grade Eight and has survived all the way through to Grade Thirteen. Known for her great running ability she has been a longstanding and successful member of the Elmwood Track Team and has also competed individually with great results. A member of the infamous 10-J she actively took part in kilt-snatching, water fights and the great TALENT SHOW. In grade twelve she was a member of the pound committee (better known as the anyone seen the key club). Elise will always be remembered for her Somewhere over the rainbow and lunchtime assessments, Chicken Soup? Yuck, its full of monosodium glutomate Her ease with languages, I know judo. Karate and all those oriental words. and I ' m a student from St. Donut. We ' ll never forget you Elise, so Good Luck in the future and we may someday see an Elm- wood alumnus on the Olympic podium. 30
