HEATHER SCOTT: Mable, Ther, Head, Hez arrived at Elmwood four short but amazing years ago. Her easy-going manner, wit, charm, freckled face and loud voice have made a lasting impact on us all - I said BOOM CHICKA BOOM! Being the prefect grade 13 student she has contributed much to Elmwood, specifically the junior school. Get that make-up off Julia! But her greatest devotion of all is to school work, right? Garbage collecting you say? No! Sanitary engineering! Back there with your Bahamian connection - c ' mon baby, let ' s fresh. Ow, itchy nose! But wait, there ' s more: Nineteen eighty-two baby blue Subary. We ' re flying. Sunrise by Rockliffe Lake. Skating. Christening and champagne. What goes with lime fanta? Hot tide. You sleep on the floor! Telephones. Sting. South Carolina and Mr. Gorgeous. Gee, you must be one of the eight. One year — one year - one little year. And so much gone! And yet the even flow of life Moves calmly on. - H.B. Stowe The end is upon us but at least we ' ve laughed, cried and partied till the end! No . . . really . . . really, we love you. Thanks Heath. This is it, That ' s the end of the joke. - Psychedelic Furs ANDREA SHERDIAN: Andrea arrived rather unobtrusively at Elmwood at the beginning of Grade 10. By the end of Grade 1 1 , associations with questionable individuals like PUMPKIN, SLIME, SUEBEE and JAN- NYBUM, led to a veritable ex- plosion of previously undiscovered character. Since then, all have discovered endured her fixation for anything British, notabley for Battenburgh cake, Silk Cut, Smash hits. Bono, Rupert, Bowness, the HMV shops, and, oh yes, a minor expert, she and her trusty VCR have also been relied upon at all times to keep us informed of the world at large. Do you have the car? walkies. Peter Puc, who? Want a medal? The Stage. How many days until we leave? Deep fried zuchinni, banana cream pie and fruit cheese cake. Metres and metres of celluloid. Heaven knows I ' m miserable now. Once in a lifetime. Nervous? Take care, Andy Pandy. ANNA SHERWOOD: Anna Banana and her canary and her hobby horse first enrolled at Elmwood seven years ago. A trauma was set in our midst with Anna constantly misplacing her glasses, frantically searching for liquid paper and wearing the carpet to mere threads with her pacing. On occasion, we have observed a red bomb skiing down Slalom (or was that Allen ' s Alley?) at negative speeds. No one will forget the now famous Windemere vacations - we ' re expecting a best- seller, Anna! Mrs. Peat and the rest of us will remember Anna ' s passion for Bowie, which she first exposed us to at Stratford - was it Changes One, Anna? Best of luck, Anna - we ' re sure you ' ll create the same effect on others as you have on us! I ' ve never done good things I ' ve never done bad things I never did anything out of the blue. - D.B. PEGGY STARUCH: After four years absence, for some unknown reason, Peggy had to come back to her favourite school Elmwood, even though her heart remains in Sir John A.. Peggy, known to some as Pooks, Peggie or Dr. Peg will never forget Dusty (RRR!) and his Captain Kirk flips and Mr. Spoon with a certain silver Prelude during a Friday afternoon history class (love that history notebook! Bulwer Street???) Peggy con- tributed to drama (opera?) and the ski-team as well as many common- room discussions of all her men. Oh, MAN! Next year our ski-bum and faithful Fig Newton fan club member (right names? SPUDS?) hopes to relax with her blueberries and Study Journalism at Carleton, but spend as much time in T.O. town in Romantic Traffic. The world is a stage (. . . going through.) Because time can ' t stand still. And nor can she. She hates to leave such sadness But she yearns just to be free. And a day may yet come When she may really stay And learn to love another. But that is not today. I ' m i

TARA MOONJE: Mooner! Commonly called Tar - tar or Mother Tarasa, Tara has gained a reputation for her Moonje - fesis , seek connections, losing her glasses, keys and bus passes, and getting along well with Hull taxi drivers. At school Tara can be inevitably heard asking: What are we doing this weekend? , Does anyone want to buy a pub ticket? , Can 1 borrow some paper? . What ' s the date today? and So Maria, when are we writing the physics make-up? . How ever many secret admirers and romances Tara has gone through, one love that will always remain steadfast is her passion for chocolate donuts, kraft dinner at 4.00 am, french fries. Cinnamon Trident and pizza in her sleep. We will always remember Tara for passing out on her egg rolls, cracking her bones, sleeping at Jane ' s feet and her many needed ventures to the Camp Fortune bathrooms. Tara ' s enthusiasm and encouragement as Head of Wilson kept the spirit of Elmwood alive and kicking . Tara plans to major in medicine and minor in men at Mac. next year. But if all else fails, she can pursue a career as a kraft dinner chef. We love you, Jane, Maria and Valerie JODIE PULLEN: There was me, that is Lei, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, Dim being really Dim ... If emotions were silent I would be without works, but the expression of emotions is often silent, yet 1 speak. Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment. I want to make it burn as brightly as possible Shaw. There is a fine line between Love Hate; The sane and insanity ... If Steurogin ' believes, he does not think he believes. If he does not believe, he does not think he does not believe. The possessed. And here are trees and I know their guarded surface, water and I feel its taste. These scents of grass and stars at night, certain evenings when the heart relaxes - Yet all the knowledge on earth will five me nothing to assure me that this world is mine. Alamus. Your soul is bright. Ciao Love CHANTAL RICHARDSON: Chantal joined the commonroom this year with a bust of energy. She starts off eating her breakfast every morning while discussing different soaps. Chantal has enlightened us on many new ex- pressions: get a real . . ., ickness, Francene is . . ., my three legged gerbil . . ., cry me a river, Jimmy, and I can ' t believe she make us do that in gym today. Her sarcasm and wit about everybody: everything has always entertained and humoured many. Best of luck next year! Teach ' em good! HARRIET RICHARDSON: Ratsky, my little commie friend; Ratura, my little scan- dulous friend; Ratola, my little division of pepsi-cola; Ratskiev, my little solemn friend; Ratortion, my little RYE friend - need I say more? Nitty Gritty - Hey, what are you doing at school today? Future Primitive - it ' s a Sims . . . No one beats the Hawk . . . Agent Orange aren ' t they from California? I saw them in Ham - tubular - wind surfing - It ' s fate I ' m never to go out with a blonde - matching band- aids - nicest upper body - no lower body - when can I have my jeans back? - functions 5a much? - I wanna be a stock boy - Don ' t do that - food girl - ONCE!! 8 years is too long - I love you Ratskiola and all that cal. Horrowshow. Lait. P.S. Fligti - Beamer - Peugotti . . . B.T. much-no! . . . I ' m getting old . . . Fiorucci lives longer.

VALERIE SUMNER: Valerie, Valera, Valera ha ha ha. Yes, Valerie ' s laugh will never be forgotten echoing through the halls of Elmwood. The definition of Valerie is: unique facial ex- pressions, complimentary hand gestures and an impeccable coiffure. Valerie hair number 86 is out of place. Valerie can be heard saying Are you going to do this homework? , Who ' s going to McDonalds? , grab me a chocolate bar , do you have a problem with that? Valerie is the only person on earth capable of falling up the stairs, occasionally needing help to get dressed, driv ing the Parkway in 6 minutes during rush hour, falling asleep . . . almost asleep ... at the height of a Mont. ste. Marie party, flashing local construction workers and having deep conversations in a bathtub. During her time at Elmwood, Valerie has managed to establish a first name basis with the teachers -- Fran, Marg, Brenda (but they don ' t know it!) As the Fry house head and an awesome prefect, Valerie has left her mark on the volleyball courts, soccer and Softball fields, and Reach for the top. Good luck next year studying law (the legal side). Love ya. JANE UYGUR: Alias Janers, Weegs, Jene and sometimes Madonna. As one of the awesome foursome, Jane has shown great aptitude for screwing up. Who else would break their wrist a week before the Softball tournament, stumble into a functions test five minutes late, hold a birthday party for Jennifer 3 months too early, drive on the wrong side of the road and wipe out in the middle of the Rideau Centre. Over the last 2 years Jane has revealed to us another side to her sane and angelic personality: the truth only comes out when she ' s moaning and talking in her sleep. Jane holds fond memories of the Mont. Ste. Marie Chairlifts, Chews and Chunks, coffee-flavoured Haagen Daas, the Quebec side of the river and Florida. Jane ' s plans for the future are to attend Queens ' s Med. school, but if that doesn ' t work she could make it as an advice columnist, a hair-dresser, a ski instructor (with her awesome ski equipment) or a seamstress. As a jock and senior sports captain, Jane has been a real asset to the school and a great friend to all. JANET WALKER H i wait for just a second more I know i ' ll forget what i came here for My head was so full of things to say But as i open my lips all my words slip away. Alison Moyet-Yaz yours forever D. always. J. KRISTA WEDEKAMM: Krista has spent her Elmwood years undergoing a most interesting meta- morphosis. She transfixed herself into an orange- haired screaming rockstar who had fits in garbage cans and she perfected her Madonna impersonation! Krista became rebellious and wrote with pink pens on purple lined paper - she even skipped school to go skiing (shh) - but the bluebomber spent her day hiding at tantalizing TONY and his T-bar. Krista then became a pro at im- provising: sitting on the floor of a bus is fun - especially on route to Lakefield, yes, you can dance in a car, but of most value Cheap flowers - Oh go to Hulse and Playfair she said candidly. Don ' t forget those lunch bag let downs , formal traumas and Krista who was the Distraught Youth . . . Corey? Good luck in Toronto.
