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.

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.

JOSEPH LU When Joe joined us in grade 11, it was hard not to take an instant hking to him. With a per- petual grin and jovial manner, he was always ready for a joke. He could usually be found somewhere on campus with his twenty-five pounds of camera equipment of various sorts and descriptions around his neck, shooting anything, whether it moved or not. He was a major contributor to the high standard of photo work presented in the Argus. If Joe was not taking pictures, he was in the Art Studio creating, or in the music room playing his antique violin, both of which he did vnth impressive flare. Sometimes between these activities, he found time to study and hence to produce the type of marks others envy. Not only did we envy his marks, Joe also held the Walker House record for the most letters per week; here again he earned our envy. In vrinter, Joe swam wfith the first team and made the record board. Still, with all this on his plate, Joe kept his grin and easy-going manner. We all wish him the very best in the years to come. TOM LYTLE i Tommy Lytle is one of our all time greats. One of the last Chamby ' s Chics stiU aroimd, Tom has been at Appleby for nine years. He is always briimning with laughs and has added much spirit and good humour to the school, with his- rampaging jackhammer- priceless impressions of numerous Appleby masters, hockey players, and girls he has conquered. He is also the only person alive who can get up at 7:00 in the morning and still be late for breakfast forty-five minutes later; he claims he is just running behind schedule, but everyone knows the real reason. His most noticeable mark at Appleby is being the originator of that ever-increasing heap of clothes in his room, known as Lytle Mountain . When you are talking Tom Lytle, you are talking sports. A valuable forward on the first soccer team, a soUd member of the tennis club, and a big lanky winger on the first hockey team, who skated with the greatest agihty, he was one of Appleby ' s finest hockey players. He plans to attend university after taking a year off to do a number across the Atlantic. With his charming character, Tom will have no problems getting by in the future, and we hope to see him president of his own company some day. Go get ' em slammer . JOHN McCARTER J. B. McC. is one man who will never be lost in a crowd. No, he ' s not one of those. He ' s the exact opposite, his hair matches his brilliant personahty. As this year ' s head of Powells House, John has rarely been at a loss for words, especially during house meetings. J. B. is an active member in all sports, be it as a participant or a spectator. For the past three autumns, John played football and this year served as captain. When he is not dowm on the field breaking legs, he can sometimes be found retired to the more sophisticated surroundings of the music room. Actually, John ' s trumpet led many a cheer in the arena. Last year, J. B. captained the league to a successful season, but after a severe cut to the eye he decided to pursue a coaching career with the thirds. It is too bad that John was unable to pick up the game at an early age, for he surely would have been another Brian Glennie. For spring en- joyment, John plays rugger. However, his real spring sport is golf. Probably John ' s most memorable moment on the links occurred down in Florida where he defeated Graham Stuart by shooting a cool forty for nine holes. J.B. has become known for his desire to drink Ufe to the lees. While vacationing in Florida, a few of John ' s friends taught him how to play cricket. He didn ' t exactly take the game by storm although he did manage to bowl one maiden over. Sirenora Cowboy, and may your Ufe be a happy one.
