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.

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.

FRASER McKENZIE To capsulize a high school career such as Fraser ' s in just a few lines of writing is next to impossible. During his three years with us, he has involved himself in almost every facet of Appleby life and as a result has left behind a multitude of images by which he will be remembered. The soiled and tired rugby captain trudging off the field, proud of his cham- pionship team, the stern old general in Agatha Christie ' s Ten Little Indians ; the firm but nonetheless well-liked prefect; and, finally, the smiling, glassy-eyed fellow at the Riverside ordering just one more jug to make it an even seven. These and other pictures have endeared to us an athlete, a scholar and a friend. So long. Mac. It has been a good three years. TREVOR McMURCHY Trevor is number four of the McMurchy family to come to the Apple . Clever Trevor has been with us at Appleby for a mere two years. Despite this short duration of time, Trevor has managed to prove his stalwartness as an athlete by playing on the senior football, basketball and rugby teams. Perhaps his greatest athletic achievement other than nailing the Prince after the ball was kicked, was to crutch his way around the senior cross-country course while sporting a full leg cast (those crutchers will hate you next year Trevor!) Along with his many athletic attributes, Trevor has proven himself to be a good student, maintaining a steady average throughout his short career here at Appleby. Always cheerful and ready wdth a smile. Trev typifies the spirit felt among this year ' s graduating class. We ' ll be sorry to see you cast-off Trevor, and don ' t forget to give our regards to that young lady who seemed to like frequenting the place during the wee hours of the morning. Good luck and stay from those crutches! ROB MANBERT Robb6 will go down in Appleby history as the only student to spend two-thirds of his young life here. On top of this. Rob is the first third generation member to attend the College. He is highly above average in intelligence, and as equally outstanding in his desire to slack. Rob is an exceptional swimmer and his vigorous aquatic training has blessed him with a fabulous physique. Much to his enjoyment, girls do not seem to be able to resist him- thus his huge collection of personally autographed cheesecake photographs. Unfortunately his good luck with girls has removed from the world of mortals, thereby exposing him to a few em- barrassing incidents- witness the Sting and groping encounters in the Arena parking lot. It is too bad that Rob can ' t have a final summer in Oakville, but he must move quickly forward to Georgia Tech and we all wish him good luck, (watch out for Beach Babies!)
