iMARK GASKIN Mark, Pork , Houdini , whatever, is never at a loss for words. He speaks what he thinks is fight and does not let others sway his views. A respect is gained from tliis which many around .um admire. Pork, when not attending to his schoolwork, could be found on the First Football, Sockey and Cricket teams. Contrary to popular belief, Mark was the first Joe WiUy Namath in the school, sporting a pair of white RideU cleats. Along with this he wore a Raccoon coat, adding to the image of number one hot dog . His attitude towards the younger boys in the •ichool should be something worth remembering. The boys in the dorm gained a feeling of eing somebodies because of the fatherly image he conveyed to them. It is a young man Uke lark that adds to the intense spirit in a school like Appleby. He is never asked to do things, he mst does them. The school benefits immensely from boys such as Mark. If one was to speak of success in the future, one would surely be speaking of Mark. Who will ever forget Mark and what he stands for. IAN GIRODAY A young man came here this year from the west proclaiming his old school in the prairies and modestly showing us his seemingly unlimited talents he had been taught there. It must have been some school. We were soon to learn that Ian was a very natural athlete as well as an exceptional student. He won his colours in hockey as well as receiving the Bic Wilson Memorial Trophy for the M.V.P. of the team. He was also a hard working and valuable member of the first Football and Rugby teams. He also showed himself as an established swimmer, basketball player, as well as a runner, winning the cross-country race this year. In academics, Ian earned his gold optimates as well. Above all these achievements, he was knowm as a cheerful, easy-going guy who was well respected and well Uked by everyone. Ian, if you do as well in the future as you did in one year at Appleby you vrill surely succeed. Appleby will miss your drive, determination, and the example you have shown to others. Take csre and the best of luck! PAUL GRIMES -1 iPeege has been here for eight years managing to take two years off in between for a • Glimpse of the outside before deciding to return to the Apple . His achievements at the -chool are many, including colours on the open rugby squad as well as being an estabhshed Veteran of the first football team for three years. His skills at pubhc speaking also put him in ■the finals of this year ' s contest. Academically, well, he managed grade twelve unsupervised ks well as grade thirteen! Paul ' s many extra-curricular activities are what took his in- terests away from his school work and they took the most time as well as being the most fun! Paul ' s sense of humour was much appreciated in many a situation. His cheerfulness and general camaraderie with all the other boys was sincere and warm-hearted. We wish Paul he best of luck in the future.

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.

STEVE HALL Steve Hall alias Herb has been at the College for five years. Herb was the leader of our Montreal contingent virithin the school. He has done so much for the healthy tone of the school on both athletic teams and behind the scenes. He played on both the first football and the rugby teams for three years, gaining his colours Ln football all three years. His greatest at- tribute though, was his willingness to help behind the scenes with the numerous dances, plays and operettas. Steve ' s presence will surely be missed next year. This year. Herbie also was persuaded to undertake the task of being a chapel warden and the school bouncer. The first hockey team drafted him as manager and his spirit and humour added to the team ' s closely knit play. No one will ever say that Steve did not give a hundred percent for his school. Next year he plans to work over in Norway for the shipping industry. Steve, you have left your mark and it will never be forgotten. ALASDAIR HALLIDAY Doc has not left much undone at Appleby during his five adventurous years here. Scholastics, athletics, acting, choir, and music are all among his many and varied ac- complishments. Strict and fair in his prefectorial duties, he has handled the infamous CoUey House four-bedder deck admirably. When looking for Al it is not wise to go to his room, rather to the chapel, gym, stage, Riviera, or even outside, since he lends his time to so many ac- tivities. However, long after his colours, optimates and activities are forgotten. Doc will be remembered for his great personality and likeableness among his mates and wards alike. Unlike the rest of his activities, he has not had to work hard at this- it comes naturally. For this, we will all miss him at Appleby next year. Good luck at Harvard Doc. JOHN HAMMILL John has been at the school for three short, but impressive years. If not for some head injuries along the way. John would certainly have added strength to both the first Football and Rugby teams. He did play on the Football team in Grade 11. John ' s real love though, was hockey. There was no better hockey player in the school than John. His very presence on the ice would surely make things happen. His skill and sportsmanship were unequalled. Unfortunately, John injured his kn ee half way through his final year and was sidelined for the duration of the season. Here his personality really showed through. Because of his leadership and en- thusiasm towards the team, every player gave him their highest respect. John will always be remembered for skipping town occasionally, but this was his forceful character. John may decide to work next year, but hopefully he will continue his promising hockey career.
