MICHELE FRIEND Michele ' s deep love and concern for physics, philosophy, needle- point and other realities of life (or lack thereof) has resulted in en- dless sleepless nights for this l.B. survivor. And, though she did not quite make it through Algebra, I am confident (convinced) that Michele will one day discover the true nature of the 4th dimension. Michele will no doubt be remembered for her sudden profound statements regarding this concept, among other things - the unending influx of her rare and valuable mathematical books, consecutive WEEKnights on the town, and her cold stare which one can expect if one dares to continue writing a test beyond the shrill sound of the bell . . . (not to mention weekend philosophy meetings and of course, Peter). 1 wish you happiness in all that you do and yes, Michele, you may ask Calculus questions during Functions. PUI JAYANAMA Who in grade thirteen knows every song that ever hit the charts and a veritable biography of every band, group and lead singer? Who dresses with incredible personal flair and produces REAL art for the common room walls that puts the Bowie posters to shame? The answer, of course, is Pui. Pui came to us three years ago straight from Bangkok and the artistic taste of our class has improved steadily since her arrival. She is one of those amazing people who VOLUNTEER to help at school functions - the prefects are ever grateful to you, Pui! Pui has been an enthusiastic supporter of school dances and last year ' s Samara. Don ' t forget us when you ' re back in Bangkok because we certainly won ' t forget you! KIRSTEN KEARSLEY Due to popular demand Kirsten Kearsley has been cancelled. Seriously folks, Ingrid ' s presence has contaminated Elmwood like for quatro years (has it been that long?). Being the head of Keller this year, she has also managed to keep us in the dark about her love life. Hah! (Shall we list them off, or shall you?). Girls, have you always had trouble keeping off the weight? Do they call you thunder thighs at school? Well let us in- troduce to you the KIRSTEN KEARSLEY DIET; 1 bag of Corn Puffs plus 1 bag of Hickory Sticks and chug down a half a litre of chocolate milk (you know the stuff you get from a cow), and you ' ll be bound to stay slim for the rest of your life. ( ' It works for me ' she says.). Sure, sure. She probably goes out after midnight and jogs 27 miles. The Nerd ' s love for acting has led her to run the Elmwood Theatre Co. After years of total devotion. Hey kid we luv ya! P.S. Never stop She boppin ' I thought that when love for you died, I should die. Alone, most strangely, 1 live on. 17

SUE BREWER - Senior prefect (alias Brew, Brewski . . . ) has graced and paced the hails of Elmwood school for four years. Sue is known for her interesting and sometimes strange perception of life ' s everyday happenings. Sue ' s position as chapel monitor in grade 12 has lead her to seek a new and in- teresting position at the Vatican, in Rome. She hopes to become the Senior Chapel Monitor . Her service as Senior Prefect has helped her to comply with the pressure she will meet at the top!?!? When Sue is not studying, she can be found and is considered an avid supporter of BREWER ' S RETAIL . - Honest you guys, we own Brewer ' s Retail . . . you don ' t believe me? All fun aside, we wish Sue B. all the best in her studies and career as a nurse. May the smell of bedpans ALWAYS irritate your nostrils! RUBY EGGARHOS A teaser? Teasers are usually rich kids with nothing to do. They cruise around looking for planets which haven ' t made interstellar contact yet and buzz them. Buzz them? Yeah, they find some isolated spot with very few people around, then land right by some poor unsuspecting soul whom no one ' s going to believe and then strut up and down in front of him wearing silly antennae on their heads and make ' beep beep ' noises. D.A. The GREEK pretends to be a normal well developed emotionally stable adolescent. HAH! We all know the truth! Ruby is in reality the Phantom Zonko Cabbage thief, arch enemy of Capt. Bob. What ' s Left? MARILLION! Life ambition: To be the Girl From Ipanema. (Before my sister gets there!) SUSAN EVANS Sue Evans is one of our newer additions, having come to us in grade twelve from picturesque and memorable Kingston. She is presently one of our Junior Liason officers, having proved her qualifications last year (when she was in grade six also). Unknown to most people she has a fetish for parking lots (where are we going to go?), hairy eyeballs (she collects them), and whipping people with wet spaghetti. Our mellow element is very fond of sleeping through anything and almost anywhere (except school of course). She is known for her incredible ex- periences in cars (postal trucks should be locked up). 16

JENNIFER KINGDON Jen came to us just this year and has managed to fit in, even if she has had problems coming to terms with being seen in the uniform in public. The common room benefited from a widened range of music when Jen and Ruby moved in, but the other inhabitants managed to weed out most of the hard rock by the end of the year. Among other activities this year, Jen classiced and fluted her way through grade thirteen. The best way to go! Good Luck next year and forever and ever. Now ' tis the hour for wine, now without check To trip it gaily, now with feasts sublime Worthy a Salian board, ' twas time Each deity ' s place to deck! Horace, Ode 37. CAROLYN LAWS A rare disease forces Carolyn to eat a raw potato for lunch each day. Diseases such as this biochemical abnormality, pictures of red blood cells, logical problems and fundamentalism (!) are some of the colourful topics of con- versation brought up by this homo-sapien. Going back in time, words hke BOG and BEIM come to mind. The LB. has also been a subject of great concern - she has been desperately serving, joining clubs, becoming cultured at the NAC - FOR LB. PURPOSES of course. O.K. so - you ' ve got two vectors - this is Algebra by the way - and one is heading N30°E, the other is heading W5°S, both having a value of 23.9. What ' s the combined cross and dot product of the two? No! NOT TWO-NESS. No one else has been able to stand up to the rigors of Algebra. J ' te souhaite beaucoup d ' chance dans le futur . . . Tsu peut tout faire si tu le veux ma vieille. JENNIFER LEBLANC Jennifer first came to Elmwood in grade 7. She livened up our class with her wild stories, her punk costume and her amazing card playing talents both in poker and spit . After leaving us for Ed- monton in grade 8, she missed us so much that she returned this year to graduate one year ahead. This year Dolly amazed us with the vast quantity of socks and slips she managed to fill her costume with. In the Chemistry lab, Jennifer designed a new, versatile piece of scientific equipment - a retort stand with a crucible attached to it. Those of us in Chemistry are fortunate enough to have Jennifer as a tutor because she has already done everything before . Best of luck!
