It is February, and the snow is deep outside Elmwood, yet it is also time to write best wishes to Elmwood 1984-85 and to the Samara Committee who will chronicle this special year in the life of the school. Many tasks now are reminders that the end of the year is approaching and that soon good-byes will be said. Good- byes, however, are not always sad. For many of you 1984-85 will have been a special year in your school life. Perhaps it was a year in which you reached a goal, mastered a long practiced skill, recognized your own existence, or decided to take responsibility for your own learning. We may say good-bye to 1984-85 but our best wishes go with you. Mrs. Gundy Vice Principal Senfor Ubrary Elmv ood School 261 B.jQns Visia Roaif Ottawa, Ontario K1M0V9 Not until it has almost ended, and you look back, can you see the over-all pattern of the school year. This has been an exciting year for the junior school - a record number of students, each one taking part in the new computer studies programme. A rollicking production of Toad of Toad Hall ' filled the gym- nasium for three performances at the end of January. Our innovative and highly successful ski programme launched in the second term took juniors and seniors to camp Fortune every Friday. Grades two, three and four have had their own swimming programme in the spring term. Juniors have figured prominently among the prize winners at the science fair and the music festival; the junior choir gave a number of concerts at Christmas time and were an important feature of Junior Entertainment. Students in grades seven and eight from Ashbury and Elm- wood had several dances - the grade eight students from both schools will be honoured with a dinner and dance arranged by the grade 8 mothers in June. Trips away from the city were organized for grade fives to Montreal, grade sixes to Brown Lake to study winter life - for grade sevens to Foley Mountain Conservation Area and Kingston, and for grade eights to Quebec City. Where do we go from here? Well, next year we will be welcoming grade one students, making the academic spectrum complete! ! All these activities represent the careful planning and enthusiastic participation of the members of the staff of the junior school. To each of them, my most sincere gratitude and affection. Mrs. Chance Head of Junior School 3

MRS WHITE ' S REPORT This has been an exciting year, since it has brought about an im- portant step in the development of the House System. Each House is now responsible for organizing a program of social service. In its first year, this experiment has proved very promising and students have been involved in a variety of activities. Fry is developing a program of support for the Elizabeth Fry Society, Keller is involved in promoting Canadian Guide Dogs for the Bhnd, Nightingale has helped run Can Drives for the Ottawa Food Bank, Fry collected books for Ronald MacDonald House, and Wilson ran a series of hunger lunches to raise funds for famine relief in Africa. In addition, a hospital visiting program has been organized, and 25 girls regularly work at the St. Louis de Montfort Hospital. While it is gratifying to observe the noisy manifestation of House Spirit on occasions such as Sports Day, it is even more satisfying to see students in both senior and junior schools working together to develop a sense of social responsibility and service. We look forward to watching the students develop these programs in the future, for, while the students receive plenty of support and help from staff advisors, it is our aim to encourage the students to take the main responsibility for organizing these programs. Mrs. White Headmistress
