CARTER HOUSE Cathy O ' Connor We ' re for Carter House! We ' re for Carter House! The best house in the school! We sure are the best, We always beat the rest, And we go by all of the rules. We may be kidding ourselves about the last two lines of our cheer but - who ' s perfect? Carter girls have tried very hard and have certainly had the enthusiasm and school spirit that is so very important at O.L.C Inter house activities are a major part of our world at O.L.C. and it is up to each girl to do her share. In order to receive prizes we must give the others some stiff competition and that ' s exactly what we ' ve done . We came out on top in some sports - volleyball and basket- ball but we wanted to be fair and so we let the other houses win the Swim Meet and Winter Carnival and Ihe Tiger each week. In the Spelling Bee Janet Eligh held out to the end and added another star lo Carter ' s glory. In the festival of plays - our comedy was a lot of fun and Marg Godefroy won the award for best supporting actress. I would like to thank each of my girls (I almost sound ma- tronly) for all their help, their keenness and most of all for their fun. A ■■! ' ' i a I I ha nk s I Lea f);i ne , my very efficient sub captain, wi Hi out whose help ;.i etc r rouldn ' t line upas straight as she does. Goodbye to all of you and always keep your red tie clean.

HEAD GIRL ' S MESSAGE - Janet Marshall. O. L. C. , our Alma Mater, to me represents a group of girls from various parts of Canada and distant countries who have lived together for only a short period of time, just a passing moment among the many events which are yet to come in our lives. Together we have had many experiences, some sad and heartbreaking but many more rewarding ones which make the others seem not so bad after all. The year has gone by quickly; yet we still have memories. Each one of us can look back and recall the many highlights of the year; the excitement before a dance , the anxiety before exams, general week- ends and of course the inspiring evenings spent at the local theatre. Living together as we have I feel that we ' ve learned many things, especially patience and tolerance in regard to our fellow class- mates. As head girl this year, I have enjoyed my duties and res- ponsibilities and I would like to thank Dr. Mrs. Osborne whose guidance I have appreciated very much. And now each one of us will be stepping up to a new year, here at O.L.C. or elsewhere. I would like to wish each one of you a happy and prosperous future, wherever you go. PREFECTS AND REPRESENTATIVES Cathy O ' Connor Special mention should be given to our very noble Prefects and representatives. The Prefects this year have done their job well. Susan Watson governed Grade 9 hall and we ' re happy to repo rt that she is still clinging to her sanity. Linda Honer aided the Grade 10 ' s as they hop- scotched their way in and out of trouble all year. Kathy Billing sley did her utmost to control the Grade ll ' s but they are, and always will be brazen hussies, As for Margaret Coleman, she cleaned upa lot this year (in more ways than one) and she will always be remembered by the Grade 1 2 ' s for her Maharashi wisdoms, her popcorn and for herself. Last but not least, Janet Marshall, Head Girl (alias The Cheese) has worked hard trying to keep everyone happy, and informed with her noon announcements. Now - the Representatives. The A. A. under the direction of Debbie Landy has kept everyone physically fit all year. The S.C.M. run by Mary McWhir worked hard with the bazaar and oysters. Finally, the Year Book Rep. , Cathy O ' Connor who the doctor predicts will have a nervous breakdown if this book isn ' t out on time - has tried to make this years ' Year Book the best one ever put out.

FAREWELL HOUSE Mary Ja Selection from Farewell ' s Hit Parade. Hush, hush, sweet Farewell, Farewell don ' t you cry - Hush, hush, sweet Farewell, We ' ll win this or we ' ll die. Janet and I are looking back on a busy, happy year for Fare- well that both of us have enjoyed. What a challenge to arrange nineteen bodies of different sha- pes and sizes into a uniform, straight line three times every day; or to hunt up six or eight bodies anytime for badminton, volleyball, basketball, decorating, acting, swimming, merchandising, organizing, cheering, buil- ding snowmen, spelling or tobogganing! Now -- our triumphs and defeats. We were all very proud of Eileen Malabre, who was named the best actress for her splendid per- formance as Elizabeth the Queen in A Knife to Thy Throat - Farewell ' s play! We had a lot of fun producing it. In November we enjoyed making and selling articles for the S. C. M. bazaar and to which Farewell contributed the most among the houses for our proceeds. The Farewell girls also distinguished themselves by winning the Spelling Bee in January, by placing second in the Winter Carnival and also second in the Swim Meet. The Juniors came second in basketball and third in volley- ball. The Seniors placed second in basketball. But we do not wish to dis- cuss the results of the Senior volleyball. Still, we have accomplished a great deal this year and all the girls who have played and loafed on behalf of Farewell I am sure have enjoyed being together.
