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.

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.

DAVE JOSSELYN To look at Dave, one would think he is one who spends his evenings watching television and his mornings reading the newspaper. Nothing could be further from the truth. Excluding his flair for social events, Dave ' s greatest love was sports. He has been in the net for a couple of years now, as First Soccer ' s goahe. I always though he could do just as well out, but he seems to like it there. It is quite secure, he says, behind two or three lines of defense and it is only rarely that any danger presents itself. The only trouble with his situation is that it is next to impossible for him to score, and it always seemed to me that it was better to score than to stop someone else from doing so. But. he certainly made up for it in basketball, while Reef and Snake were having difficulties during the season. As well as scoring at every opportunity, Dave was unselfish in his set-ups, particularly at the end of the year. And so, into cricket, which was, I believe, Dave ' s best game. Though lacking basketball ' s punk-inspired frenzy, Dave managed to rise to every occasion with the self possession that a captain must have, Dave was not an all rounder, but he wielded a wicked bat and has saved many a run by op- posing batsman by his agile wicket keeping; when Dave was guarding the wicket, most batsman were forced to stay at home. Thanks to Dave for his unselfish giving of himself at all times. Good luck and best wishes for the future. ALANKEIL Alan has been at Appleby for eight years, officially living on grounds for the past three. Between coming and going through the rear entrance, he has been an excellent student, earning his gold optimates and season tickets for the unsupervised study Ust. Athletically, Alan has been truly outstanding in soccer and squash, securing his colours in both. His true love was tennis however, and after capturing the school trophy last year, captained and headlined our tennis team this year. Alan took a lead in the Operetta, and earned his termly long weekend by singing with the choir. Whether he joined to sing or fling is another question! Alan was a welcome and friendly fixture of various landmarks in OakviUe, and long vrill be remembered his tardy jog to the podium on receiving the Campbell essay prize last year. Alan was always ready to engage in conversation, and many a bull session was held under the red lamp that marked his abode. Alan plans on filling the gaps in the dental profession, and so Appleby wishes a fond farewell to one of our true old boys. HERMAN LAM Herman is an amazing individual. His willingness to try a new trick is unsurpassed by any of his peers. Over the past four years he has tried almost every sport the school has to offer. Last year he offered to act as cannon fodder for the U-16 football team in order to learn the game. He has also become a tennis player to be reckoned with, however, hockey is Her- man ' s game. Herman ' s ferocious style of play was instrumental in raising attendance at league games this year. Herman wrill go dovm in the annals of Appleby College as the first chink to inhabit the Northern Campus. After only his first week in Canada, he and his classmates were sent u p north for the first time. Well, that ' s a long story, but let ' s say he handled himself admirably, considering he had never even seen a canoe before. Late that year he related his experience in the north to the rest of the school in a very moving Chapel service. Like most of his countrymen. Herman is a hard worker. Only after a weekend with Alice will his Ughts go out before 12:00 p.m. Good-bye Herman and good luck in your en- deavors to become a C.A.
