Carole Harris — Grosse Isle, Manitoba. “Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.” Wilde This pert, little, blue-eyed gal has been toting a diamond for a year now, and hopes to add the matching one shortly after training.

Valerie Hooper -— Vernon, B.C. “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” F. D. Roosevelt. She will never know why she came this far from home.

Kathleen Horn — Somerset, Manitoba. “Where the willingness is great the difficulties cannot be great.” Nicolo Machiavelli. Kathy is everybody’s friend. She can be found at Somerset, Aunt Mildred’s, or just “out”. Instigator of many a prank at Selkirk. She blossomed forth with a beautiful solitaire at New Year’s.
