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.

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.

HUGH JACKSON Sir Hugh is the most business-minded of this year ' s crop of graduates. A double winner in the Stock Market game, Hugh is preparing for a career at the hehn of Omnico - his huge in- ternational conglomerate. Hugh is an accompUshed photographer, who on more than one occasion has bailed out the Argus with his quick shutter or steady hands in the dark room. When not peering through a few inches of lenses or making like a mole, Hugh fin ds time to run a few miles every day. His best race is the 1500 metres, where he holds the school record. Hugh has always been competitive in the annual cross-country race. Hugh is the college expert on Formal Fever having been ravaged by it until a mysterious individual known only as the Airhead accepted his invitation. Good-bye Hugh, and remember that even if haste makes waste, to be indecisive is folly. NICK JACKSON Nick, or Jack , or even Wack , has just finished seven years at the College. Nick stands about five feet clear, but seems a lot shorter. Even so, size did not hinder Nick from par- ticipating on the first soccer, basketball and rugby teams. However, in basketbaU, he was able to use every inch of his size to pose an awesome scoring attack. The opposing teams shuddered at his very presence! When Nick first entered the Senior School, he was very reticent about an activity called the Cadets . But through rigourous training and tireless efforts he managed to win Kid Cader . Nick ' s stay is all over now, but who will ever forget the night in grade 1 1 when this loveable bush clogged the sink on the Annex Deck. Good luck in the future httle guy! STEVE JOHNSON Tucked away in the corner of the CoUey House top deck, Uved one of the Appleby ' s true nice guys. Soft spoken, funny, and just plain nice, describe Qua the best. Sports-wise, Qua has tried everything; after playing tennis for three years, Steve decided that he would never play at Wimbledon so he tried to satisfy his tennis desires on the track team. He played on the second soccer team and this year was his fifth year on league hockey. Steve was a lieutenant in the cadet corps. Academically, Steve has been on the unsupervised hst since grade 10. Steve hopes to attend Western, studying natural science next year, and after that will eventually study marine biology. With Steve ' s good nature we know that he will be suc- cessful. All the best in the future, Steve.
