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!)

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 MAXWELL In the seven years that Dave has been at Appleby, he has involved himself in many activities. Overlooking his ability to sleep through entire classes, Fonz has been a steady producer academically. Outside the classroom, Dave has been on the first football team for two years and this year was the general manager of the team. Dave was also a member of the track squad. In other activities, Dave proved himself as a capable scuba instructor and conducted the whole course this year. He has always been helpful as part of the Ughting crew for Ap- pleby ' s plays and operettas, and was a member of the Argus photography staff. Dave holds a new school record as the only person to have been recorded in the Argus as a graduate for two years in a row. This year he ' s on his way to study at the University of Guelph. Good luck, Dave. FRANK MERRILL How does one begin to describe Frankie H. MerUl. One could spend days trying to describe the contributions he has made to Appleby. The biggest impact Frank made on us had to be with his dynamic, bubbling personality. It is very safe to say that Frank did not have an enemy in all five years he spent with us. He enjoyed his sporting at and away from school. Some of his sports included football, hockey, rugby, girls, constant partying and making his first million. With that previously mentioned dynamic personaUty, Frank led the way with his exceptional performance in The Jockey Club Stakes and th M.C. of our annual talent night. Frank was runner-up in the armual public speaking contest and his speaking ability was greatly felt in the chapel several times this year. Frank is the kind of guy that will go places, if he can keep away from the broads once in a while. I ' ll tell ya,... we ' re going to miss him! LANG MOFFAT Lang ' s seven years as a boarder have enabled him to master the art of deking out . Lang is known to have mysteriously disappeared many a Thursday to 1 158 Lakeshore to engage in his own version of Thursday activities. The Joe Namath of the college, Lang was the first to wear white shoes. Although an unfortuante accident with an axe earned him the nickname Stub , Lang ' s balance was not affected and he excelled in aU sports. A key member of the 5- M defence in football, a hard-hitting winger in hockey and outside centre in rugby were among Lang ' s achievements. He gained his colours in football and rugby, as well as record board on all three. A competent student, Lang made the Unsupervised Study List in every year, it was only those long hours spent on the phone which kept him from his Optima tes! As a prefect in PoweU ' s House he was respected by all. Lang ' s future plans include Queens and then the formation of a company; incidentally, not to be called Leggs!
