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!

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

ELIZABETH MCCLENAHAN Lc Biss has. been here lor seven years . seven long years. Bissy entered Elmwood with a Bang in grade seven. Her energetic and somewhat crazy character made her feel comfortable with the rest of the lunatics in 7T. In sports she participated in the track team, as well as being a very vocal member of the choir. Her contributions to the Friday ski days first term (1985) will not be over looked. There is no mistaking Bissy ' s blond hair and Amazon-like physique which will make her number one with university men . . . which we ' re sure she is looking forward to. No one can tell you more about going to Elmwood than Biss; she has seen it all. It is her energetic, ambitious, radiant (Oh. gag me!) personality which made her a popular leader of the students and an active member of the school. These qualities are what made her a super Head Girl. She has maintained the position as a fine example for all, displaying qualities of dedication and spirit. Biss is a well rounded Elmwoodian and a great friend! The grade thirteens have been through at least ten heart attacks with Bissy this year. IMost of all we will miss the entertainment provided by Bissy at lunch. Lionel Richie will never be the same without Bissy singing into an old Coke can. Aurevoir Elmwood P.S. Remember Biss only the good die young. ANNEMELICK Anne has been at Elmwood for four years, but there is little to say about her . . . she wasn ' t around much. (oxyMORON - like single bunk beds!). After ditching her kilt for her GREEN army shorts, Anne might be found selling hardware - if she graduates from the meat counter at Robinson ' s General Store (the best in the whole world!!) If, and the emphasis is on if, she gets lucky, she could end up boarding with a marsupial and her blond sasquatch , DOWN UNDER. Let your soul and spirit fly into the music ... S.E. SARA MONTGOMERY Sara came to Elmwood in the middle of grade 11, late as usual. Since then she has not changed much except for the growth(?) in maturity - though not much anywhere else. One thing that definitely has not changed is her hail, it ' s curls never lose their curl despite hours with the hairdryer. On humid days, it ' s volume has been known to double (or is that dee V by dee T according to calculus methods). Good luck fair bubble! Tis well to be merry and wise, Tis well to be honest and true Tis well to be off with the old love, Before you are on with the new. C.R. Maturin A woman ' s whole life is a history of the affections.
