Andrew, who has lived in Ottawa all his life, came to Ashbury' in 1978. He has won an Award of Nlerit tgrade 75 and the History Prize in grade 9. As well, he has played on the Junior Soccer Team. He will admit that the school has its good point, but could also make a list of the things he would like to see changed. SpUf can be seen walking down the halls in his rocker boots and considers not conforming to the dress regulations a major accomplishment. His hobbies include cycling, tinkering with cars when he gets the chance, and installing waterbeds on the week-ends. Andrew's future interests lie in civil engineering or geography. ANDREW SPOERRI JOHN WRAZEJ John, upon arriving at Ashbury in grade 8, has made him mark. He has made contributions to soccer, skiing teams, and to the Grad. Committee. An accom- Joy, beautU'ul radiance of the gods, daughter of Elysium, we set foot in your heavenly shrine dazzled by your brilliance. Your charms re-unite what common use has harshly divided: all men become brothers under your tender wing. F. von Schiller plished rower since grade 9, he is a key member of the successful elite Ashbury crew of '84, His presence is felt when a hacky sack flies around the common room, or a voice cries Beware of the Asian srtake. ' J.W. won the award for the Best Dressed Prefect, which may lead to a future study in fashion design and marketing. His consistent good nature will be missed - thanks Johnny!

Chantal was born in France but has lived in Canada most of her life. She came to Ashbury in 1983 for a change of environment. The school's compact size provides a fantastic atmosphere for learning and for socializing. The teachers are extremely interesting people who have a habit of straying from the curriculum. She lists as her hobbies playing the piano, writing, and laughing at things that no one else seems to find particularly amusing. Highlights of the year are the late nights spent at the Ottawa U. Library, working on all those crazy essays. Next year she plans to take psychology at Ottawa U. Chantal's quote, not exactly her favourite, but one she can relate to is: By education most have been mislead. CHANTAL MAZUR SAM MIKHAIL It was about eleven o'clock in the morning, mid-October, with the sun not shining and a look of hard wet rain in the clearness of the foothills. I was wearing my powder-blue suit, with dark blue shirt, tie and display handkerchief black brogues, black wool socks with dark blue clocks on them. I was neat, clean, shaved and sober, and I didn't care who knew it. Raymond Chandler, The Big Sleep. BILL PARKER DARA RIGAL Sam, the Biblical Scholar , has attended Ashbury since 1977. He's an easy-going type who gets along with everybody. He has played on the football and track teams, and has participated in squash, swimming, softball and com- munity service. He says his highlights at Ashbury were getting a detention in grade 7 and losing a tooth in grade 8, as well as being chosen a prefect and graduating an Ontario Scholar. Among the books which most affected him was the Latin book Mr. Sherwood hit him with. Out of school Sam teaches swimming and most recently has directed an aquatic program at a summer camp. Next year he plans to study Science prior to Med. School. . . . for the making of many books there is no end,' and much study in a weariness to theflesh. Eccl. 12:12. Everyday I discover more and more beautiful things: its enough to make one go rnad,' I have such a desire to do everything, my head is bursting with it. U - Monet

Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing wonder and awe, the more often and the more seriously reflection con- centrates upon them: the starry heaven above me and the moral la It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of disbelief it was the season of light, it was the season of Darkne ss, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way. . .

In his final year Julian was named prefect for Connaught House. He also stands out as perhaps having the most nicknames in the school: Guido , Julio , and Mini Bitzi are but a few. The high points of his stay include getting kicked out of the library with his brother , being in Mr. Coles' Algebra-E class, and asking in late May, Sir, what is a vector? , and reading for 3 days in a row in Chapel. Julian is headed for the States where he hopes his hockey talents will be rewarded with a scholarship. He leaves us with the motto: No pain, no gain JULIAN BINAVINCE MARK CUHACI Casey was born in Toronto and is extremely proud of it. He came to Ashbury in grade 5 and after a 2 year leave tfor reasons of in- sanity! ll he returned for the final 4 years of high school.
