MRS. GUNDY ■ MRS. CHANCE Space - glorious space! With three beautiful bright, new, classrooms and a splendid new science laboratory, the junior school, like spring, is bustin ' out all over. And to celebrate, in February grade seven demonstrated their skills in a science fair, judged by four outside scientists and enjoyed by students and parents. Grade six had a three day outdoor education experience at Brown Lake in February. In May grade seven will investigate nature at Foley Mountain, and history in Kingston. Quebec City is once more on the itinerary for grade eight. Please don ' t think that the junior Juniors are neglected - their outings, though day trips only, have been numerous. With the additional grade six, the junior school is made up of nine bustling classrooms. It has been a most productive year. Being Vice-Principal at Elmwood involves having one foot planted firmly in the past, another planted firmly in the present and the third foot planted firmly in the future. This requires, and at the same time, illustrates the basic nature of the position - co-ordination. Since co-ordination is to a rather large extent a biological phenomenon, it is probably just as well that I spend a good deal of my energy maintaining the momentum of the two lively Biology courses at the upper end of the Senior School. That done, much of the remaining time is spent in co- ordinating the maintenance of the academic records, the requirements of the Elmwood Board and the Ontario Ministry of Education. On a day to day basis, attendance and the building must be monitored. Some students may require advice, assistance with options, or need some help in obtaining further guidance. As well there is the ongoing task of co-ordinating Elm- wood ' s growing participation in the International Baccalaureate programme. Students may require assistance with university applications, or letters from an academic referee. Timetables for, and the administration of, examination sessions must be dealt with. The course booklet, the timetable and the use of the facilities in the next academic year, all take up a portion of my future time. Fortunately, much of the above involves co- ordinating the co-operative efforts of Elmwood ' s staff and students. Having three hands as well as three feet helps!

HEADMISTRESS ' S NOTE This was the year some of you will remember being interviewed on a building site, by a Head- mistress and Vice-Principal wearing hard hats and construction boots. I can only hope that as the year unfolded for you, life at Elmwood was quieter and cleaner than your first impressions! This was, above all else, a year of development for the school. In June 1983, the last kilted figure had scarcely wheeled her bicycle out of the old parking lot when the bulldozers moved in an d con- struction began on the largest expansion project Elmwood has seen since the school was founded. Residents of Rockcliffe Park watched all summer with bated breath to see if we would be ready to open in September - and we almost made it. Grades 7 8 spent two weeks at St. Columba ' s Church were the staff showed great inventiveness and initiative in running their programme out of what became known as the branch office . We were all very happy to be reunited, and to share the pleasures of new labs, libraries and classrooms. Almost a year later, we can hardly remember how cramped we were before the renovations were completed. For those of us who have been involved throughout the planning and implementation stages of the construction, the most satisfying aspect has been the reaction from many past and present Elmwood students and parents. It ' s as if it has always been here. Margaret White
