PHILIPPA SHEPPARD Philippa has been at Elmwood for 7 years; a dedicated Fry-ite to the end, she was an energetic and enthusiastic Head of Fry as well she participated in choir, drama, and Reach For The Top. Last year Philly edited Samara into one of the best yearbooks Elm- wood has seen. Declaring herself useless with numbers, Roget has become the literary element of our class - who can forget all the Poldarks? Tho ' sometimes she gets dagger looks for her unhealthy habit of playing music VERY loud, we think her lunches will kill her before her eardrums burst. Among the PMS specialties we ' ll miss will be: her wisdom before a common room brawl, her suggestive pencil case microphone, her skill or lack thereof at joketelling, her faith, and above all, her unfailing honesty and kindness to all. U of T ' s gain is Elmwood ' s loss! Best of luck, Sheppard (milk?) Just the place to bury a crock of gold, I should like to bury something precious in every place where I ' ve been happy and then, when I was old and ugly and miserable, 1 could come back and dig it up and remember. BridesHead Rivisited LOUISA TAYLOR Some think Louisa is one of the sanest, fairest people you are likely to meet, however we know the truth; she too has had her fits of frenzy and common room cat- fights to keep life interesting. In her three years at Elmwood, Louisa has been; a thief (Kristen ' s kilt), an author ( Ode to Ms. Stratford ' s Briad ), a pig (homo and S V), and a friend. We will all remember with great fondness her stories, punctuated with truly Louisa bubble gestures and sound effects; who can forget Sophie or the infamous eunuch? The other houses grudgingly acknowledge that Louisa as Head put Wilson House on the map with Hunger Week. A captain of the volleyball team, Louisa cherishes graduating on a winning note. Best of luck to our logical bubble-wench! I am a part of all that I have met; Yet all experience is an arch where though Gleams that untravelled world, whose margin fades For ever and ever when I move. Ulysses by Tennyson LUCY WHITE Grades five to eight weren ' t enough for Lucy - she had to come back for more! Grades twelve and thirteen were graced by her return after three years absence. Almost everything about Luke has remained pretty consistent . . . Oh my God! Is it art? I was sure I had a spare! . Lucy ' s con- tributions to drama, sports teams and classroom discussions will be sorrowfully missed. A junior school liason officer and one heck of a prefect, Lucy has developed new organizational skills . . . Call the CAA; my keys are locked in the car! Lucy has been noted for the many men in her life - No I ' m not obsessed - you are - at least I ' ve been relieved! . Her fits of laughter accompanied by her squinting eyes and beautiful smiles will be missed. Miranda once asked her, Do you love me? - Well now it ' s your turn to answer Lucy: O heaven, O earth bearing witness to this sound, And crown what we profess with kind event If we speak true! If hollowly, invert What best is boded us to mischief! We, Beyond all limit of what else i ' th ' world. Do love, prize, honor you. YOU ARE ALL TRUE AMBASSADORS OF ELMWOOD 20

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.
