Ken has been at Ashbury for several years and has not recovered since. He enjoyed the Senior Football Programme las well as the weekendsii, and he enjoys Classical Punk, including such great bands as the Ramrods, Sex Pistols, D.K.'s and Vivaldi. Ken disliked the chairs in the Com- monroom. He plans to relax in Hawaii surfing and leaves us with a classic from the Clash, Don't judge a book by its cover, unless you KEN HATCHER coverjust another. Hendy came to Ashbury because his previous school eliminated grade 8. Since then he has enjoyed making Monday morning announcements, playing Senior Ball and organizing such unique events as the First Annual Inter-house Mouse Race. He is also Chairman of the Alexander House Spirit Committee. His most prized possessions are his Mickey Mouse tie and Carl Brazley's cleats. In his spare time he ventures off to Maine with Les Boys Duke. I too had thoughts once of being an intellectual, but I found it too difficult. Albert Schweitzer. DAVID HENDERSON CLAUS HETTING Much of my unassisted seU I struggled through the alphabet as if it had been a bramblebushg getting considerably worried and scratched by every letter. After that, I fell among those thieves, the nine figure, who seemed every evening to do something new to disguise themselves and baffle recognition. Charles Dickens CHRIS HOPPER I doubt whether the student can do a greater work for his nation than to detach himseU from its preoccupations, refusing to let himseU be absorbed by dis- tractions about which, as a scholar, he can do almost nothings.

Chris has been at Ashbury since 1976. ln that time he has played football, co-captaining the Bantam team in grade 10. In hockey he was the assistant captain for both the Junior and Senior teams. He also worked on the Ashburian, in charge of advertising, in grade 12. He lists his highlights at Ashbury as winning the L.C.C. Tournament, being in Mr. Lister's English class for three years, and being a member of 8 K, which prided itself on being rowdy and slovenly. He also praises the atmosphere at Ashbury, which encourages people to get involved. Chris served in his final year as a Prefect. CHRIS BOSWELL SEAN CAULFIELD Sean has attended Ashbury since grade 8. Highlights of his career have been the grade 8 Merit award, Senior School Schol- arships, membership on the Fiona came to Ashbury two years ago.

FIONA CHILDE Brian came to Ashbury in grade 11 and was amazed at how friendly people were to new- comers. He is also impressed by the small classes and teachers who take the time to chat. Highlights include his membership in the Board of Stewards Cgrade 121, the United Nations Conference with Ken Roberts Cgrade 111, Rowing lgrades 11-137, and his running for the Liberal Party in the 1983 Student Elections.

PETER JOHNSTON Brian found himself at Ashbury in grade 6. After recovering from the shock he proceeded to do quite well and in grades 6 to 8 won a number of awards in sports and academics. After crossing the void from grade 8 to 9 a whole new expanse lay before him, or rather, behind him. High points would be winning the grade 10 Geography prize and of course M. Landry's French class. His interest in sports includes soccer, judo and cycling. As for tomorrow, university, ah but tomorrow never comes. BRIAN KING ANDREW MACDONALD Philip was born in Bucharest, Romania, but has been in Canada since the age of 6, and at Ashbury since the 10th grade. An avid competitor in inter-house swimming, soccer, and javelin throwing, Philip has added greatly to the strength of the Alexander House team. He regards the two Switzerland trips as highlights of his stay here, especially the last one! His tastes in music range from new wave to punk, and his favourite groups are the Police, Billy Idol, and the Sex Pistols. He considers Ashbury's academic training a worth while effort, and hopes to study Business at Western next year. Ourfuture is with the collective, but our survival is with the individual, and the paradox is killing us everyday. John le Carre PHILIP MARCUS Peter feels that the small size of Ashbury's disciplined community makes it a school interested and concerned with the success of its student. This has taught him to try his best at whatever task he faced. Now time has passed and he finds himself preparing to face the world with acquired friends and to leave the surroundings he grew up in lgrades 6-133. Peter plans to study Zoology in University and to continue his private flying in order to become a commercial pilot. Time is but a stream Igofishing in. 1 drink at it, but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin Current slides away, but eternity remains. I would drink deeper, fish in the sky, whose bottom is pebbly with stars. Thoreau Andrew has been at Ashbury for 7 years, which has obviously been 7 years too many. His only at- tribute to Ashbury was learning to be a non-conformist in grade 12 English class. Born in Montreal, Muck intends to make this wild city his home away from home on the weekends. Interests include no school, weekends, and classical music. Memorable highlights include the Heidelberg Chamber Orchestra's appearance at Knox Church, sipping wine in the Chateau Laurier, and the Art Gallery guided tours. Future plans? Well, maybe university, but if not then he will make his way down to Venice beach to tan and surf. I don 't want no undorm, and Idon't want no book ofrules. . . 'cause that's youth. ' Henry James.
