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!

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!)

KEITH MORRISON I can see it now. The camera pans back to take in the top field, the tennis courts and the gates. The tall, long-legged dude, with the mirror shades and an attempted afro struts slowly up the road, a basketball in one hand and a bit of paper in the other. The ball bounces once or twice, behind the back, between the legs, and the famihar movements take us back to those fleeting days of high school glory. As if sensing our approval, he turns, the sun glinting off plastic and teeth, and flicks a quick V ' s-up at the lad with the shaving cream birthday present, at Joh nny with the pin who wasn ' t so bad afterall, and at teammates and other friends. And then he turns back. He laughs (sometimes it is all you can do to squeeze out a laugh through clenched teeth and rigid jaws) a proper one, not choked up or dovim. He finds the memories of T.M. before football games, problems of prefectship and captaincies, difficulties of girlfriends and telephones, all funny now. Now he walks off into the sunset, the last strains of Sweet Georgia Brown falling about our ears, and we hear a laugh, it ' s nearly a laugh, but... JOHN PLATT Sleep has been at the old Apple nine years and during that time his presence has been widely felt. With his fiery red hair, it is difficult for anyone to miss him. He enjoyed his sports throughout the years here. He was a strong member of the first football, squash and rugby teams obtaining his colours in rugby. As is the same with many grade 13 ' s this year, John enjoyed the odd party now and then. By the way, John, is your house still standing? We hope so. John was very stable in the academic sphere as well. In grade 12 John was on the un- supervised study list from September to June. John made Hfe here very pleasant for a lot of people, and we truly will miss him. I guess he ' s tiarned another important Paige in his career. GARY REDMOND Bogare has been with us for eight years now and though not a scholar, he has managed to get on the unsupervised study list every year for the past five years. He has also been involved in hockey, tennis, and a variety of other sports during his stay here. We will always remember Gary as one of the three grade 12 boys apprehended on the famous Pumpkin Night episode, and we are sure Mr. Dickens will never forget having to pick them up from the police station at six a.m. Gary hopes to be taking off next year to experience the real world , and then on to university. But whatever the future holds, we wish Gary the best of luck.
