DAVID ASTWOOD Dave Astwood was with us for only one year, but in that time he quickly gained the friendship of everyone in class. Dave ' s natural abihty in academics has earned him his golden optimates and an Ontario scholarship. Since he was from Bermuda, Dave did not play football or hockey, but waited for cricket where he was a prominent member of the team. David ' s cleverness and ability to adapt so quickly to new surroundings should enable him to be successful at whatever he chooses to do. We wish him the best of luck in the future. DONALD BENSON Don as Bean here for four years. During this time he has developed and grown into an honest and well respected member of Walker House. His strength of character and popularity raised him up to the postion of prefect in his final year. However his abilities spread into many other fields as well. The football team has found Don invaluable for two years, thus he gained a spot on the record board. Don has also been on the senior squash team, receiving his colours for the last two out of three years. This year Don was the captain of the squash team and led them to another I.S.A.A. championship. Don attempted Rugby at the senior level this year, helping the team many a time with his experience at touch judging. Next year Don intends to travel around Europe to work. Good luck Europe and good luck Don! DESMOND BURKE Des is a bonafide member of Appleby, having been with the college for nine years and dating back from the era before the resource centre, pool and arena. His stay in the junior school might best be described as uneventful; it was not until he joined the seniors that he discovered the pool. This was to become his aquatic habitat for five years, during which he was on the first swim team, received his colours three times and captained the winning squad twice. On land, he also participated solidly in soccer, harriers and rugger. Des belonged to the pioneering group of ER students and last year he returned to the Northern Campus as an instructor. His leadership ability was also demonstrated as a Walker House Prefect. On the extra-curricular side, Des is frequently searching for unusual records to add to his unique collection, leisure reading, pencil-sketching as well as doing the dago . His diligence as a student and amiabihty as a person will stand him in good stead for his future at Queens or Western.

H Tn KEN CARPENTER Ken- Bud or Bub as many of his friends call him has been at the Apple as long as anyoi can remember. Truly one of Appleby ' s oldest veterans, it is now Ume for him to leave v During Ken ' s ten years he has established himself as one of the more amiable and dependab members of our community. Ken ' s academic talents glowed steadily as the result of ha work and showed with his being on unsupers for the past five years. During his yea here. Ken played many varied sports, he was a staunch member of the Harriers and Tra and Field teams, a regular member of the squash league and spent one year with the U- rugger squad. Never a brilliant sportsman, he nevertheless always gave his best. Next ye Ken plans to attend Western and we at Appleby sincerely wish the best of luck to this fL gentleman in his future endeavors. PAUL E ' raERINGTON Paul came to us in grade 11. and was tossed immediately into the pit , so to speak. His year in the basement of Walker House was a rude welcome to Appleby, but an educational one. Ether was our link with England, and the civilized Ufe that he maintained existed therein. An easy-going fellow, except when it comes to the honour of the Empire which he defended to the fringes of fanaticism. Not just limiting himself to academic and intellectual pursuits (he frequently made the Unsupervised Study List), Paul was also an athlete of some note, as the record board will defend. Ether played soccer (well), and rugger (not so weU) as well as being an adequate tennis player. Paul ' s green game socks were an inspiration to us all. as was his love hfe. which kept us constantly laughing. Always neatly groomed and well dressed, you can often find Paul in front of his over-worked mirror, putting right any minor flaw in his hair. Basically. Ether was an all rounder , easy to get along with and besides a questionable attraction to leather, a great chap! We wish him all the very best in the years to come, but a word of warning Paul- stay away from those loose women! f . L raDON FOURNIER Lyndon has been partially with us for four years, and during his stay was always a ci scientious student, making the unsupervised study list frequently. He has graced bot h I second soccer and second hockey teams, and the grade 13 tennis ehte with his winning wa and is an accomphshed Cross-Country runner. Lyndon ' s true redeeming quality, however his good-natured humour. Lyndon has always made a good time seem much better. Trying reform his ways. Lyndie became one of Appleby ' s premier Progressive Conservative fai fuls. Those who knew him well will agree that Lyndon was always a party man. He crown his Appleby career by participating in many extra-curricular activities: he was a stalwi member of the ubiquitous film club, a devoted member of the WTFAC, and a regular on Softball field. Lyndon will long be remembered by all for his entertaining wit and ways, a his knack for seeking out and working his way into tight situations. We wish Lyndon luck his planned career as a Chartered Accountant.
